Would Michonne really countenance Judith being out alone and doing all she did ...

I found it very hard to believe that a ... what, maybe 9 year old was out with a gun telling all the other Alexandrians what to do, going against them and blackmailing them by saying she was going to stay out in the woods if they did not bring all these strangers back.

That was pretty much glossed over, and then there was her doing her homework in conversation with Negan ... like he is the only one in the entire settlement that could do a basic algebra problem? That part was stupid ... and since the whole series is now based on it, it bugs me.

I think it was what Aaron wanted to do anyway and her blessing just made it easier..
I also think they're just trying to show that Judith is held in high esteem because of who her parents are...not that she necessarily can order people around and always get her way.
They just better be grateful she's not a psychopath.

And I'm not sure how it insinuates that Negan is the ONLY one that can help with her algebra. The comics had Carl and Negan regularly interact while he was imprisoned...
...so that's where it comes from.
Judith seems to know that Negan isn't a good guy and hasn't been fooled..and it's an opportunity to show Negan who we know isn't going anywhere for a while.

yeah, we are supposed to impute intelligence to Judith for her perceptions on Negan's character, and yet I can feel this is building up to her making the same stupid kind of mistake her dad continued to make all through the show. I'd wager that just as we begin to trust her, she is going to cause a problem. Do somethind stupid, or get kidnapped or in danger, or bring danger inside.

Kids ruin shows. I am not interested in Judith or any other kid.
