This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''The Same Boat'''" is the thirteenth episode of the [[The Walking Dead (season 6)|sixth season]] of the [[Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction|post-apocalyptic]] [[Horror fiction|horror]] [[television series]] ''[[The Walking Dead (TV series)|The Walking Dead]]'', which aired on [[AMC (TV channel)|AMC]] on March 13, 2016. The episode was written by [[Angela Kang]] and directed by [[Billy Gierhart]].

This episode focuses on the characters of [[Carol Peletier|Carol]] ([[Melissa McBride]]) and [[Maggie Greene|Maggie]] ([[Lauren Cohan]]), who are captured by members of [[Negan]]'s group known as the Saviors. It marks a turning point in an ongoing plot arc for Carol, one of the most ruthless members of [[Rick Grimes|Rick]]'s ([[Andrew Lincoln]]) group, who is forced to re-examine herself as she is confronted by a remorseless killer named Paula ([[Alicia Witt]]).

==Plot==
At night, out in the woods, [[Carol Peletier|Carol]] stops [[Maggie Greene|Maggie]] from joining the [[Not Tomorrow Yet|gun battle against the Saviors]] and, as they confront each other, are approached by a Savior named Donnie (Rus Blackwell). Carol shoots Donnie before she and Maggie are surrounded, surrendering to three other Saviors: Paula, Michelle ([[Jeananne Goossen]]), and Molly (Jill Jane Clements). As day breaks, Paula's group observe [[Daryl Dixon|Daryl]] capturing a Savior named Primo, and, to stop the savage beating inflicted on him, Paula tells [[Rick Grimes|Rick]], over a [[walkie-talkie]], that they have captured Maggie and Carol. Rick tries to negotiate for a [[prisoner exchange]], but, while Donnie needs the medical attention Primo could provide, Paula feels they are at a disadvantage against Rick's group and decides to withdraw.

While awaiting reinforcements and deciding their next move, Paula and her group bring Carol and Maggie to a former [[slaughterhouse]], where the Saviors have cached supplies guarded by trapped walkers. Carol puts on an act of being frightened and weak-willed, while revealing that Maggie is pregnant in an effort to protect her. Donnie suffers excruciating [[nerve injury|nerve damage]] from a [[tourniquet]] and tries to physically take out his frustrations on Carol, but is [[Pistol-whipping|pistol-whipped]] by Paula, who tells Donnie that she doesn't blame him and casually accepts the violence. Paula then tells Carol that she is willing to kill as many people as necessary to stay alive; Carol is horrified to see herself in Paula.

Over the walkie-talkie, Paula directs Rick to a location for a prisoner exchange, but believes he is being duplicitous and tracking them. Paula, Michelle, and Molly prepare to flee the moment their reinforcements arrive or to ambush Rick's group should he get to the slaughterhouse first. Left unguarded, Carol is able to free herself and Maggie, who insists on killing their captors. They use a zombified Donnie, who has succumbed to his wounds, to ambush Molly, taking her [[handgun]] and beating her to death. Paula eventually catches them as they negotiate a gauntlet of walkers, but Carol gets the upper hand and wounds Paula as the walkers get loose. Maggie fights Michelle, who slices at her stomach with a knife; Carol then shoots Michelle dead. Paula then fights Carol, who impales her on a spike and leaves her to be devoured by a walker. Carol then takes Paula's radio and imitates Paula's voice to tell the Savior reinforcements to meet them on the kill floor. There, Carol traps five Saviors, burning them alive with [[gasoline]] and a lit [[cigarette]].

Killing the walkers on their way out, including a now-zombified Paula, Maggie and Carol get to the entrance just as their own group arrive. [[Glenn Rhee|Glenn]] and Daryl embrace them. Carol admits to Daryl that she is not okay, while Maggie tells Glenn that she "can't anymore." With all of his friends dead, Primo tells Rick that he is [[Negan]], but Rick, without hesitation, shoots the bound prisoner in the head as a stunned Carol looks on.

The episode received critical acclaim, with the performances of Melissa McBride and Alicia Witt being singled out for praise. On [[Rotten Tomatoes]], it holds a 97% with an [[Weighted arithmetic mean|average rating]] of 8.26 out of 10, based on 31 reviews. The critics' consensus reads: "The Same Boat" takes a strong female focus by continuing Carol's arc while deepening viewer anticipation for Negan's ominous arrival.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the-walking-dead/s06/e13/ |title=The Same Boat |publisher=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] |access-date=July 15, 2021))</ref>

Matt Fowler from [[IGN]] gave it 9.3 out of 10. He praised McBride and Witt's performances, and the episode's tension.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2016/03/14/the-walking-dead-the-same-boat-review |title=The Walking Dead: "The Same Boat" Review |publisher=[[IGN]] |last=Fowler |first=Matt |date=March 13, 2016 |access-date=March 17, 2016))</ref> Jeremy Egner of ''[[The New York Times]]'' commented positively on the complexity of Carol's division between ruse and real emotion, writing: "Like always, Carol did whatever necessary to survive and protect her cohorts, and did so in particularly brutal fashion [...] but she seems increasingly unable to avoid reckoning with the toll. "Are you O.K.?" Daryl asked when he arrived. "No," she responded, and that was before Rick executed the remaining Savior right in front of her. It's going to take more than a few [[Hail Mary]]s to make that image, among many others, go away."<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/13/arts/television/the-walking-dead-season-6-episode-13-recap.html |title='The Walking Dead' Season 6, Episode 13: Carol the Killer |work=[[The New York Times]] |last=Egner |first=Jeremy |date=March 13, 2016 |access-date=March 19, 2016))</ref>

''[[TVLine]]'' named Alicia Witt their "Performer of the Week", praising her performance in the episode,<ref>((cite web |url=https://tvline.com/2016/03/19/alicia-witt-the-walking-dead-season-6-performance-paula/ |title=Performer of the Week: Alicia Witt |work=[[TVLine]] |date=March 19, 2016 |access-date=March 20, 2016))</ref> while McBride was named "Performer of the Week" by [[Collider (website)|Collider]].<ref>((cite web |url=https://collider.com/the-walking-dead-melissa-mcbride-tv-performer-of-the-week/ |title=Performer of the Week: Melissa McBride |publisher=[[Collider (website)|Collider]] |last=Trumbore |first=Dave |date=March 18, 2016 |access-date=March 20, 2016))</ref>

Lenika Cruz and David Sims of ''[[The Atlantic]]'' called it the "most overtly [[feminism|feminist]] episode thus far" and "was an elegantly written and executed [[bottle episode]], designed largely to subvert the trope of the helpless woman".<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/03/the-walking-dead-live-from-the-kill-floor/473337/ |title=''The Walking Dead'': Live from the Kill Floor |work=[[The Atlantic]] |last1=Cruz |last2=Sims |first2=David |first1=Lenika |date=March 13, 2016 |access-date=April 10, 2016))</ref> Laura Prudom from ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' praised the episode and wrote that it is "an incisive chamber piece that serves as a compelling analogue to last week's "[[Not Tomorrow Yet]]" in its surprisingly deep examination of moral relativism, ably penned by Angela Kang and directed with claustrophobic intensity by Billy Gierhart".<ref>((cite web |url=https://variety.com/2016/tv/news/the-walking-dead-recap-season-6-episode-13-the-same-boat-1201729047/ |title='The Walking Dead' Recap: 'The Same Boat' Asks Whether There Are Any Good Guys Left |work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |last=Prudom |first=Laura |date=March 13, 2016 |access-date=April 10, 2016))</ref>
