The Walking Dead

Damn last night's episode was a good one, I'd go so far to say the best one yet. It really manages to capture the disparity and horror of being truly alone. Not only that but the changes in how we react to others around us, the suspicion and apathy, all mixed together while the glimpses of was once, but is no more. It really reminded me of the third part of the book World War Z, with the whole "last man on earth" syndrome and the insanity that it wreaks.

I hope Rick saw what could become his future if he keeps pushing people away to chase images of people that are no longer around.

I agree. Amazing episode. It was great to see Morgan back again and this was also easily the best Michone episode as well.

I've been waiting to see Morgan again, although I was pretty sad he didn't go with Rick, but I'm sure he'll be back. I definitely agree about Michone as well, getting to see some humanity with the weird art cat thing was great, made her seem less like a sexy kill-droid.

I liked the structure of the episode, it really spoke to how much the dynamic of the group (and Rick's psychology) has changed. The hitchhiker bit was great - as soon as they drove past him and he began calling for help I thought "if this was the first season they would have totally pulled over and picked him up." And then at the end when they stop and pick up his pack? I loved that.

Also I was glad to watch an episode and not have to see Angela.

Yes Angela needs to die.

Also loved this episode. I could definitely see Rick and Michonne falling in love. It is a shame the actor of Carl isn't very convincing, probably a lovely kid, I just don't think he can act very well. Hope he doesn't ever see this post online.

I wouldn't be surprised if Michonne becomes Rick's love interest, it happened in the comics. As much as it saddens to say this, but I kind of hope the cast is thinned out a little bit by the end of the season. It was kind of nice when there was only 4 people (5 if you include the hitchhiker) and it allowed for some real character growth.

Well I am pretty sure the majority of people are going to die once the governer starts throwing sh1t at them.
