Sweet Hanukkah scene missing one Walker?
Hanukkah began at sunset today, and whether you celebrate that holiday or Christmas or, like Nora, worship the ACLU, good luck keeping a dry eye while watching this very sweet scene from last Sunday’s episode in which Saul rescues Paige from all the Hanukkah overkill and shares a candle-lighting moment with her while reminding the assembled Walkers of what they’ve lost and what they still have to be thankful for. If you’re unmoved by such things, here’s another reason to watch this clip: Can you find Tommy’s nonverbal wife, Julia, anywhere among the assembled family? Already the actress hardly gets any lines, and now she’s left out of touching family scenes, too? Surely the couple’s infertility struggle and subsequent impregnation with brotherly sperm was among the family’s milestones in their very unusual year, and yet there is no mention of it, and no shot of the beaming mother-to-be. A little odd, isn’t it? Yet my heart is too warm to care.
