A terrific scene I'm now wishing I'd spent some more time on in the review. Hopefully they'll keep doing more of those.

The removal of the Pope/Maggie tension is pretty noticeable in these episodes, but they tend to keep Pope off on scouting missions away from her. Hopefully they'll explore that subtext going forward.

There's also an episode of House where they inject a needle straight through the pupil. Watched that scene through my fingers.

The problems with Walking Dead aren't its zombies, it's the fact that you spend the whole show rooting for the zombies because with only two or three exceptions every one of the characters is an irritating vapid archetype.
