Curious if this can still pull good ratings going against the Olympics.

Actually looking forward to this after wondering why I stuck with it through the prison and governor nonsense.

I finally cut my cable off so I'm going to try the Amazon on Demand service for Walking Dead. Anyone know how long until the episode is available for purchase?

Next day, I think.

I used Amazon for Breaking Bad and Walking Dead for awhile, when I didn't have cable.

Didn't realize this was back. I'm psyched. Loved the last episode.

Great episode even though it was the epitome of "Where's Carl?". Loved hearing Carl tell Rick everything we've all thought for the past 2 seasons. Also some nice insight into Michonne's past.

They should never make Chandler Riggs do the heavy lifting on this show. He is a terrible actor.

I thought it was pretty boring at first - with Carl (once again) doing stupid shit that should get him killed. I did, however, really like that last line. Seems like we might be getting at least a couple "where are they now" episodes before getting to the real meat of the remainder of the season.

I was equally disappointed when he went back to Rick

It's a hard episode. Because you know that Rick won't die. So every tense scene really fails here.

I, of course, expect all the hate watching people to come and hate in this episode again.


I thought it was OK. And next week looks really great.

Actress who plays Michonne is equally shitty.

Teenagers do stupid things even in the zombie apocalypse. Carl was pretty good this episode and he was right about Rick not stepping up after declaring the Ricktatorship.

Thought for a minute Rick would die. That would have been amazing.

Wouldn't Michonne's hair block her peripheral vision at times? It would seem to be important to always have a clear view of what's around you.

Also, just because a walker has its jaw removed, why would it stop trying to attack a person? Wouldn't it still just try to gnaw on them with the top of their mouth?

I know... that was awesome!

I don't normally keep up with TWD threads, but am I the only one who thinks firearms should just be kept away from Carl generally? I mean, every single time the kid holds a gun, he trips 15 seconds later.

Really enjoyed this one.

Exactly. I kept thinking Carl was an ungrateful little shit through the beginning of this episode. I mean Rick did keep him alive however long this has been going on. On the flip side, he's still a teen so it's no surprise he has zero appreciation for his elders. I thought it was great he essentially caved at the end and is on his dad's side once again. It was a nice touching family moment. I did think Rick should have put his arm around him though.

Pretty stupid of Michonne not to just announce herself. Good way to get accidentally shot. I don't think the character is that stupid, that's the writers trying to create a funny moment.

I found myself wondering that as well. They would at least still be in a frenzy and not completely submissive. Oh well, Walker logic out the door.

Where the hell is Karl going to get a new pair of shoes?
