Not even remotely close in my mind, but you like the show a lot more than I do in general, so, not gonna give you much shit for floating it out there.
It was a solid episode IMO, I'm good with where it leaves things, and that moment was very very good. Breaking Bad would get one F bomb or two a season, always silenced by AMC, but every single one of them still carried pretty heavy weight. If Walking Dead were considering doing the same thing, I think it would have worked here too.
I know a lot of folks here had problems with an episode here or there this half season, even those that usually defend the show when I'm the one complaining... but I think this was easily their best half season of the show to date. My main complaint is that they didn't do anything to help out Glenn as a character. If you already liked him you probably liked him more here, but if you thought he was a poorly written empty character, then you were left just not giving a shit about him some more, and that's where I'm at. We needed some Glenn backstory, probably some Maggie story too.
But everyone else, it all really worked for me. I care about Rick, Daryl, Michonne, Bob, Tyreese, Beth and even Carl more than I did when they all left the prison.
Honestly this whole season was very good EXCEPT for the episodes involving the Governor. They decided to close out that story, but I think that character was so broken that there was no possible way they could have redeemed him. Their attempts to do so felt rushed and fake and none of it worked at all to me. But everything before that worked, and everything after it worked. Looking forward to next season to see if they can keep it up!
