The episode hits the emotional tone of Daryl & Carol's reunion to follow with an action packed zombie adventure and the psychological torture in between.

Carol becomes a beacon of hope the group can't help but to be moved by, in a silent scene that takes the characters from relieve, to joy, to grieve, to hope, Michonne finds the inner core of humanity people struggle to survive for. It's only fitting that another silent scene would take it away as Michonne slays a hermit whose house they invaded to feed walkers during an impromptu escape.

For no matter how fast they would run, the very humanity they struggle to keep eludes them with every action they make in order to survive: brother against brother, patient against doctor, Sheriff against Governor, they all must make a stand when the dead come knocking.moreless

Last scene !

9.5

By lepusniveus, Dec 09, 2012

this episode's last scene was mind-blowing,

u kno, the boy - he would be 13?or 12 maybe?

Karl's act was amazingly improving, and he is the proof of this show's situation,

Karl is only a boy but he had to kill his mom and he had to protect his people, when his father is going away to save the other people.

anyway i was shocked the las scene, that Karl grab the gun and go through the Walkers.

it was amazing, can't forget about this brave kido.moreless

Making Enemies and Influencing People

9.0

By Mike_Schmidt, Dec 02, 2012

Another great episode that is well covered in comments below... cept to note Merles exceptional ability... and that is making enemies and influencing people.

Regretfully his influencing skills seem to constantly center around harrassment, tortore and assault!

His persecution and persuit of Michonne already made him one enemy I would not like to have on the loose and then... well, Glen doesn't seem like the sort of guy that has a "sh*tlist" and he's pretty much a live and let live sort of guy.

Merle can't seem to help himself and "pokes the bear" - even after Glen told him that the past months on the road had toughened them up... so once again Merle seems compelled to put it too the test - and what did we see?

One of the most kick*ss one on one zombie vs. survivor fight scenes of the whole series! Go Glen!

Geln has gone from "street smart know when to fight and flight" to upgrade back against the wall do or die dude!

So, Merle, seeming to not recognise that Glen is not the sort of guy to overlook what has been done to him and his gf, shows a large degree of arrogance and still thinks he has the upper hand - dang Merle! Get rid of this guy because now you have two implacable enemies still alive and kicking - take the shot!

Further on down the track poor old Daryl, who obviously won't want to see his bro ganked, is goning to have convince two (three) super angry foes that Merle shouldn't be summarily executed...

Looks like some interesting dRAMA IN THE WINGS!moreless

Almost time to kick some ass

10

By Breathe, Nov 30, 2012

I loved this episode! We get to see Michonne finally working with Team Rick, Glenn kicking ass and how ugly the Governor can really get. It's fantastic! I was really happy this wasn't a filler episode and it kept me on the edge of my seat. Also, Andrea is STILL a mess. Someone give this girl a slap. Can't wait for Team Rick v. Team Psycho in the next episode.
