Probably the best episode thus fair. Scott Wilson stole the episode and just completely owned it.

I agree this was definitely Herschel's episode to shine. Although even though I'm not a big fan of Carl I think he turned into a little bad *kitten* this episode too.

Seriously, Carl was legit in this episode. I loved the reference in Talking Dead of Carl being the "John Connor" of the Zombie Apocalypse!!!

IMO, Carl has been a little bad@$$ since he took his mama out. That boy is one of the most-level headed characters on the show. And I resented Herschel & Rick when they treated him as if he was a cold-blooded killer after shooting that kid from the governer's little "army." At that point in the show too many incidents had happened involving putting trust in strangers. That kid was told several times to drop his weapon, he hesitated, and his eyes were darting back and forth as if he was trying to decide what to do. There was no more time to wait. If Carl hadn't shot him, he might have pulled HIS trigger. Carl absolutely did the right thing by taking that kid out. Carl has hardened up a bit, but given his age and circumstances, that's to be expected. Here you have Rick, who lost his d@mn mind after Laurie died but yet Carl was the one who had to kill her. Herschel, who took forever to even except the fact that zombies are zombies, not people... Glenn and Maggie who are more interested in doing the horizontal tango than paying attention to their surroundings, Andrea who was so mesmerized by the Governer's junk that she couldn't take him out when she had a perfect opportunity to and now she's DEAD, and you even have the one guy who risked his life for a bottle of liqour. Carl deserves way more credit. He has his *kitten* way more together than 80% of the adults on the show.

I don't understand how Michonne and Daryl are out there looking for the governor so often and he is right in the woods with 3 tents. Why is it that he was not found yet?

You hit the nail on the head!! It's completely unfair to expect Carl to help mow down a pack of zombie one second and then go right back to being a kid the next second.

Exactly. Carl is one of my favorites and it really bugs me when people complain about him and call him a stupid kid, or whatever. Like I said, he's handling the zombie apocolypse way better than most of the adults.
