    Great episode. Carl was pissing me off there for a little bit when he was saying all that shit to Rick but by the end of the episode I was happy how the father son relationship is playing out and that Carl finally realized he needs his dad! One question where the hell is Daryl at? Rick and Daryl are my favorite characters on this show so they better be alright.

    Carl's like any teenager in a bad situation. He was angry and said things he didn't mean.

    Loved the episode, it's already looking like it will be much better than the first half of season 4.

    Definitely cheered when Aldis Hodge showed up; I had no idea he was guesting. Shame that he couldn't be on the show more... I'll admit my brain wandered a bit after seeing him trying to imagine Hardison, Eliot and Parker surviving the zombie apocalypse...

    Whenever I see Aldis Hodge, I think of Jake from Supernatural. Haha! It was nice seeing him.

    Wow that was a brilliant return episode!

    I think it contains some of the very best scenes of the seires honestly!
    This was a tour de force for Chandler Riggs and Danai Gurira!



    Mmmmm, pudding!

    What an amazingly good episode! I really enjoyed it.

    The scenes w/Rick and Carl were very good. I was very upset w/Carl in the beginning. Rick could barely walk or breathe, and Carl was walking ahead of him and just generally being a little jerk but then we see how much Carl still needs Rick and how much he doesn't want to lose despite his protestations to the contrary. I hope their relationship becomes stronger after this.

    I also liked how Rick acknowledged that Carl is a "man" now. He's a smart kid and a good ally, and he can handle himself for the most part. He still needs Rick in his life, but Rick doesn't have to worry that Carl is going to play w/zombies anymore like in S2.

    The Michonne's FBs were great. I loved how she rejected becoming her old self again when she killed her zombie herd. She wants people in her life, so I was so happy when she found Carl/Rick at the end of the episode. She doesn't have to close herself off to people.

    Excellent episode! I cannot wait until next week. I love this show.

    Great episode, and a great return from the break. Hopefully it'll keep it up. The focus on Carl and Michonne was great and a nice little cool down (with some insight and suspense) after the fight against the Governor.

    It was great seeing how far Carl and Chandler Riggs have come on the show. The character getting more to do and showing that while he may still be an eager kid trying to prove himself, he has earned some respect. And the actor showing that he has come a long way from just being a kid on some show to be able to hold his own in an episode largely dedicated to him (with Michonne next, and Rick last).

    It was also nice to see a little of Michonne's backstory and just see her realize she doesn't want to be the lone survivor anymore, she needs people in her life. To see her accept that and wipe out that horde of zombies, quite awesomely I might add, was amazing. But when she saw Rick and Carl through the window was the best part of that. Getting to see Michonne display some emotion and smile at being reunited with people that she likes.

    Again great episode. Saddest moment of the episode goes to: Zombie Herschel head.

    Awful, I thought it was predictable how they were gonna have Carl think Rick had turned and I didn't like how weak Rick had to be so that they could make Carl an interesting character

    I think Rick's days of being a strong leader are kind of over. He's just plain broken. He never really came back from losing Lori. He's also badly hurt, too. I think Michonne will probably take over for awhile just with him and Carl, unless they get back together with Daryl.

    Guess you missed the part in the mid-season finale where Rick was nearly beaten to death... nope, no way would it be predictable that he would be close to death or that Carl would be strong for his father... why would they write something like that. Oh, yeah, LOGIC.

    That scene was straight from the comic. Absolutely brilliant episode. Thank you Gimple for bringing this back to the source material, and away from the crap Mazarra had turned it into. Cant wait for more!!

    Awesome episode and a nice change of pace. I missed Daryl, but it is good to see that he is in the promo for next week. :-)

    Carl annoyed me a little at first. It seemed hypocritical of him to call out Rick on playing farmer while he was covering up his own fear with remarks like "I win" or "Got my shoe, didn't get me". But it was heartbreaking watching him in a position again where he'd have to shoot one of his parent. I'm glad that by the end of the episode, both sides acknowledged that Carl is capable of taking of himself but still can't be on his own and that the show didn't overplay the "overprotective-father-whose-son-is-trying-to-prove-himself"-card.

    The flashback of Michonne was a tad too short but it's always nice seeing how things used to be before the outbreak. I was cheering for her when she was slaying the zombie herd. I think she was seeing herself in that one zombie that was walking beside her and that's what made her realize that needs need to be around people and not zombies.
    Overall, a subtle and great episode.

    Really liked this one -- then again, I think TWD episodes are at their strongest when they focus on character study (instead of "Us vs. the Big Bad [Gov/Military/etc.]"). Still lots of great zombie action, but solid character development as well.

    I thought the most heartbreaking scene was Carl sitting alone on the roof, wearing his sheriff's hat and eating his pudding while that zombie reached for him out the half-open window. This scene was framed in a similar way to Carl and Rick sitting in the window of Hershel's hayloft back in Season 2, with Rick telling his son "things are different now, you may not always have me, or your mom, etc." To me, last night's scene was the bookend to that one. Carl sitting all alone, still just a boy but completely out of reach from that day long ago. Like the scene was saying, "this is what became of that little boy in a world like this one."

    I also liked the Michonne flashback in that I didn't realize at first it was a dream sequence. The elements of the scene kept deteriorating around her, and her smile stayed the same, and I was like "what is going on here?" -- and then it became obvious in the cut-scene right after.

    Only other thing I'll mention is, when will our characters learn that in a world overrun with zombies the best way not to get shot is to SAY AN ACTUAL WORD? Rick gets a pass for being so beat up, but Michonne at the door -- I realize she knocked and was choked up, but in those couple seconds she could have been blown away. Yeah, yeah, I know it makes the plot more dramatic. Just nit-picking -- still a fantastic episode. :)

    I think my TV cut out the scene of Michonne at the end cause I only saw the part of the know and Rick saying it was for Carl?

    Carl ticked me off too, in this episode, though the realizations Carl made as the episode went on made up for it. However, what annoyed me about his rant was when he was blaming Rick for not being the leader. Only because it was CARL that told Rick it was ok to stop being the leader and let somebody else take over. It wasn't like Rick just said "I'm done, I don't care anymore, you deal with it, etc."

    I liked this episode, but being the first episode back, I kind of wished they would have touched on each of the groups and then next episode focus on 2 groups more intently. I'm curious though, if what happened in last night's episode--where Michonne found Rick and Carl--if that's going to happen in every episode. Where the focus will be on 2 groups and by the end of the episode they will have found each other.

    So who has Judith? There was speculation that Michonne had her and obviously that's not true, so who does? I know others speculated that the kid's have her and Tyreese is with the kid's.

    The episode ended there! It was a bit sudden.

    I'm not complaining about their behavior in thus episode being predictable, I'm saying i saw the scene with Carl pointing his gun at Rick from a mile away

    Great episode, even if it didn't have Daryl...lol loved the bit about Carl and while he annoyed me to no end, i felt it was realistic in a teenager angsty in the zombie apocalypse way.


    also, and i hope to high heaven i'm wrong here, but i actually don't think Michonne found Rick and Carl...if i'm not mistaken, she went to the house with the pudding can, but that is NOT where Rick and Carl are. Carl was eating the pudding on the roof of the house down the street with the walker at the window. i think she was having another hallucination. As far as Rick saying 'it's for you,' he had just admitted that Carl was a man and could take care of himself, so i could see him saying it because of a walker. Also, i have to believe after Michonne knocked, she would have announced herself, like *Knock Knock* "It's me guys," or something. There was silence for like five seconds.


    maybe, hopefully, i'm wrong, but if this show has taught me anything, it is to be a pessimist lol...and i think they would have shown us their meeting to end the episode on a high note...just my thinking...here's hoping i'm crazy!!

    She is very very very dead... Gimple wants this show to get back to the sourse. And in the sourse material, Judith died in the prison. Onlt thing is, they cant show a baby and bother eing blown in two with a shotgun on tv, so they had to do it this way. Who knows, if Mazzara hadnt alredy killed Lori and wasted the Rick going crazy storyline too early. Maybe we would have seen Lori and Judith blown to bits. Instead, AMC gave us the watered down version. But she is dead...

    No, Carl probably finished the pudding on the walk back to the house. Michonne saw Rick and CArl throuh the window, which is why she was crying. Rick saw Michonne, which is why he had a reason to smile and laugh...

    I wish I could agree with you, since that is what happened in the comic, but I never believed that she died when they showed the carseat, and I still don't. I think people are probably right about Tyreese having her, and I think that all the blood in the carseat will have an explanation that either doesn't make much sense, or is way too convenient.
