This was the first episode that really had me wincing and looking away - specifically regarding the boy's leg being ripped from the fence. I'm not even sure he should have had a leg left after that, seeing as the spike on top was a little more than the standard fishing hook barb. Beyond that, this episode saw a lot of the old storylines working back to the surface - Shane's insanity is bound to be the focus of the season finale, if it's not dealt with before that. Meh episode overall.moreless

Now this is the kind of episode that I enjoy. I also enjoy that we see the dangerous side of human survivors. And zombies!

WTF is wrong with people....moaning about that they dont like the farm....OMG I want this series to last, you cant have everything just wait. The farm will go one day but please give the writers a chance to drag some story out of it. There is nothing wrong with this episode at all. Stable plot and once again great and I mean great ACTING. Us brits do it best! I cant beleive Rick the Sheriff is english, he sounds amazing, a true American Southerner! :)

All in all a very good episodemoreless

Best of the season thus far

I agree with kbelliveau about the tension this show can build and this episode was a perfect example of that. Those of us who have been waiting to see walkers will finally be appeased after this one!

It looks like everything is starting to come to a culmination finally after the boring first half of the season. I don't like how they're trying to make Shane out to be a villain though. He's been wrong a lot, but he's also done the most to keep everyone safe. I think Dale is being whiny about it and needs to give the guy a break.moreless

Yes!!! now that's what I'm talking about. The first 30 minutes of the episode felt like I was watching Season 1

Rick, Hershel, and Glenn find themselves trapped and having to battle against new foes, both walkers and living humans. Meanwhile, Shane attempts to bring Lori back to the farm. Thank you writers, thank you for not being lazy and actually bring what fans like us want..... zombies, action, suspense, and thrills. The first 30 minutes of this episode has non-stop zombies, action, suspense, and thrills. I was at the edge of my couch watching this episode. After the first 30 minutes of the episode was over, the zombies and all that good stuff stopped but I was okay with that which is why I didn't take away any points. The other 30 minutes of the episode just was the characters talking but I wasn't too bored with it though. Trust me, I've seen much more slower and more awful episodes this season. The characters talking here wasn't so boring surprisingly. So yeah, possibly the best episode of the season. Overall, an awesome action-packed zombie filled (in the first 30 minutes of the episode) entertainment of "The Walking Dead". 10/10moreless

- Herschel: (to Shane) You know, we haven't even dealt with what you did at my barn yet. Let me make this perfectly clear once and for all. This is my farm and I wanted you gone, but Rick talked me out of it. That doesn't mean I have to like it. So do us both a favor and keep your mouth shut.
