I quite liked this episode, hertschel seemingly more "messed" up than originally thought. 
Although I think the current search for Sophia is good in terms of learning how different characters view different things. (Great from a character development point of view.) I just don't find it doesn't seem..all that troublesome..and honestly feels like more than half of them couldn't give a rats bum.
And I'm not saying the "Shanes". But just in general, sure they mention there support..but thats all fine and dandy there's no urgency, no real...disbelief.
Hell, even the mother has stopped crying and is just like "Meh, I'll wait at camp."
I think its a poorly executed plot, and like many others I will be happy when its finished. 
On the producer note with Frank leaving the show. It's really sad they cut the spending on the show. I think it was way to early to do that, and if anything the second season should of had a bigger budget given the success of the first one. If anything you cut the 3rd or 4th, to make sure the director is thinking more of the story than the cool effects.
I'm hoping the Daryl/Andrea relationship is strained and shows, I'd feel like an idiot if I was Andrea, and if I was daryl I'd make sure she knows that.
