i agree.

We need a special Valentines episode with flowers and hearts: real bloody human hearts.
Stay away from Carol if she tells you to look at the flowers, though.

We don't need a scene explaining their relationship every other episode
Quite right. It's enough of a soap opera as is, lovey dovey crap will only bog it down further. AND, these are adults in an adult relationship, if they started acting like teenagers in love it would be pretty cringe-worthy.

This is why writers should never listen to want the audience wants. No matter what, people will complain. What else do they need to do in order to develop Rick and Michonne? It's clear as day that they are a couple without it being the focus of the show. The way they are handling the relationship is smart. Michonne and Rick clearly care about each other and are supportive of one another. We don't need a scene explaining their relationship every other episode. The focus this season is on the group banding together to get rid of Negan and that's what they have done. What exactly do people want?

I think it would have made way more sense if they were just sleeping together. Hey, it happens, but I just can't root for them as a couple long term.

I like them both as individuals but not as a couple. They're awkward. The writers built their friendship throughout the series and never hinted any romantic inklings, and bringing Jesse into the picture didn't help at all because rick was immediately infactuayed with her, throwing off whatever "relationship" the writers were trying to create, IF they were even trying.
Them banging cans out completely out of the blue. They make a great team but not romantically, but I guess as long as they're a "team" they have to ship them unless Rick stays single, but I don't see why not since daryl seems to be asexual.

A white guy needed some booty and Michonne fit the build, end of story.

There is nothing to miss. It is a poorly written relationship.

Considering it was her speech to him that got him inspired to fight, plus the way they are showing they are alpha male and female, yet little signs of tenderness, everyone seems to be missing that somehow

"Only a man who's been burned knows what hell is truly like."

I absolutely adore Michonnes character and I love Rick too but the two of them together just doesn't compute to me.
They are fantastic as individuals but there just isn't any or enough chemistry between them to justify an intimate relationship.

Hell, she's not even a mother figure. Carl and Michonne used to have their best scenes together. Now I don't think they have even talked to each other since her and Rick hooked up in season 6!

I keep forgetting about Rick and Michonne until they kiss or look at each other that way. I feel relatively indifferent about almost all couples they've created (forced) the last 3 seasons.

I don't know, but looks like Rosita is still pretty pissed off at Sasha.

I'm still trying to figure out the whole Abraham and Sasha relationship. What the crap was that?

What was the reason for killing her off again?
