What's the rule on spoilers here? Because BOO.

Oh woah, you wrote it? Nice. That totally makes sense to me that the site decided to make it a Q/A format—that's the kind of stuff that gets people to click (which drives me crazy). One positive comment I left out was the reference to Flanderization. I have loved TVTropes in the past but didn't know that one and

That's a direction I think they might go—Mac acknowledging that he's predisposed but still saying it's a sin to act on it. That allows him to keep—or even ramp up—the guilt/self-hate thing, much to The Gang's amusement.

I'm a bit annoyed that the article didn't actually answer its own question, or rather I assumed that they would give a yes or no their question rather than "YOU decide."

Then why is there a vein in it?

Viewer Poll: Do you think Junia's stupidity was feigned? In two scenes she seems really dumb/innocent/slow, which I assumed was faked so as to take his money. But if that were the last episode then maybe I'm just being too hard on the girl and she's simply simple. But she never seemed simple before….

I want to believe it too. As others have said, a characteristic of great television is that a scene (or episode, or relationship, or revelation) can mean different things to different people. And all of us have done bad things that (by luck or providence) have led to good outcomes). And I want to be hopeful, too.

But whether he had it coming or not is independent (at least somewhat, IMO) of the importance of what motivated her to do what she did—and it seemed to me that what she did was motivated by hate. Killing someone on purpose out of hate is a good working definition of murder and I think makes it fair to consider Lucy a

Some counterpoints:

The reviewer seems to agree that she seemed happy. Maybe it's just her somewhat reticent, understated acting, but to me she seemed more resigned than elated.

I believe the cavity did begin filling up with blood as you describe, FYI. Things got pretty hairy at the end.

Regarding the scene at the harbor: OK, so maybe it just seemed this way because an AVer guessed correctly what the secret was…but didn't that scene seem super wooden and like just a big infodump? Like, that guy just explaining every detail of the scheme to her. Seemed like they were desperate to hurry up the narrative

Agreed. I feels to me more that she's putting standing up for herself/her community/her husband above Algie's actual wishes. Is she right to do so? Not sure.

For me the definite low point of the episode was seeing Rick et al.'s half-assed attempt to smear zombie guts all over themselves. Their faces are totally perfect and make-upped, I'm guessing so that we can see them "act" their way through the zombie mob. Actually, even the guts on their clothes looked really fake.

Yeah the reviewer got those details wrong for sure.

I agree but for a different reason—I think she poisoned him so that Eleanor would be blamed and get sent back to an institution.

Actually, I think that Eleanor's sister poisoned Dr. Hodgeman. That way, when he dies, everyone will blame Eleanor and she will have to be put away again (which her sister hinted a few episodes ago might be "best" for the family).

Tara. She's pregnant IRL (inconvenient) and NOT pregnant in the show (convenient). And her death will give Dr. Blah-blah-blah something live for derp derp.

No one is saying that the writers promised that Glenn was really really dead. And no one is complaining (or only a few people are) that he's back. We're annoyed because we could see the "twist" coming a mile away, and because the twist wasn't very good even as far as predictable twists go. We're annoyed because of

So, Sam knows a secret of hers, right? My sense was that when she first heard Sam's voice, fear flashed across her face. I think she just said whatever she thought would keep his mouth shut.
