Gotta say this is really feeling like the first time that I couldn't care less that the show is back. This episode didn't really help that feeling.

Last night's episode was excellent for character stuff with really good arcs for Michonne and Carl. However, if I asked you to describe the plot, what would you say?
"Uh.. There was some walkers, and, uh.. Carl shot them" "Michonne fell asleep in a car" "Rick slept for like a day" "pudding." I hope Episode 9 actually advances the plot forward and goes back to this "Sanctuary" stuff. Character/bottle episodes are nice but they have to be interesting to watch and backed up with at least a little plot (see: Fly from Breaking Bad's third season), and the majority of Walking Dead episodes involve talking and stabbing one or two walkers. It's boring. |

His acting is pretty bad and it showed a lot in this one. The episode was predictable, boring... this whole just surviving story is going to get old soon if they don't introduce something new, like a potential cure, hope for a better future and a new society, instead of more of the same for who knows how long. And oh yeah, Daryl should die, he's not that interesting anymore, no one should be safe. ![]() |

This was a huge arc for Carl in the comic and the show. Almost a straight adaptation. People always want more stuff from the comics along with character development and people complain when they do it. Smh.
They'll never find a cure or happiness for long. It's called The Walking Dead for a reason.

Loved this episode. Michonne and Carl carried it beautifully. Michonne was such a bad ass. I wish she'd stop killing her pet walkers so quickly all the time though

Admitting and going back to his love was great to see. Especially after an episode of a bunch of resentment towards his father.

It wasn't like last season, when he shot a kid to death and then lied through his teeth about why he did it, then took on Rick for having a problem with it. He desperately needed a swift kick in the ass for that little tantrum. This was different. They lost everything, and he was mad and taking it all out on the only person he could. It was selfish and wrong, and by the end, Carl damn well understood that too. That lesson in growing up wasn't about how many walkers you can take out, but realizing you can't do it alone. Of course his father loved him - he was the one who carried him to Herschel's farm when was dying from a gunshot - but I think he gets that his father's trying to do right by him.

Those gifs are a nice parallel of Carl making tough decisions dealing with both of his parents fate.
And even though it was hours later and he wasn't conscience when it happened, I notice that Rick was responding to Carl's tantrum, when he was reaching out for him. |

At a point you really believe that maybe he can do it alone though. But then that's when he thinks his father's gone. And he breaks down. |

And do you mean, by the end Carl is asking to do what he couldn't which is doing it alone? |

Then at the end, when he thought Rick was a zombie...turns out he couldn't do it either.
