I guess I go first tonight.
Great twists & turns tonight on TWD.
Loved the first contact with survivors unaware, time constraints made them rush that more than I would have liked but still enjoyed it. Could have totally watched a lot more of that interaction. Significant divergence from the source material (as I understand it) but it works within the context of the TV universe IMO.
Huge mindset reveal in the final scene, Rick needed very few words to speak massive volumes.
Strong episode that really delivered afaic.
One nitpick, as I consider the episode further though. Badass Carl ... but off camera? A nod to possible real life negative reaction to Carl being a methodical killer? Too unbelievable on film because of his size? I mean, theoretically he would have melee'd those two walkers, right? But no blood on Carl that I saw. Presumably gunshots would have caused some sort of "OMG, where's Carl" hysteria for the world's worst mother. What really happened there? Could he have been bullshitting about encountering any walkers, trying to impress the blonde maybe?
