lawl my thoughts exactly. When Michonne kissed Carl on the forehead? Oh man I was beside myself.

ME TOO. EVEN THE PART WHERE GLENN ALMOST GET EATEN

This is exactly why I was happy she got eaten too. Richonne 4E.

No, you are not terrible. That whole family getting offed was like Christmas morning.

Am I seriously in the minority here? I thought last night’s episode was fantastic! It had everything, explosions! Death! Firewater! Daryl! Glenn yet again escaped death by a narrow margin! Daryl!

I am surpized how many critics have been bashing this episode, when my friends and I were thrilled with it, pretty much top to bottom.

Am I terrible? I plan on watching the Sam Gets Eaten scene again because the first watch just filled me with glee. I’m not a kid hater in real life, but that Sam kid was (!) the worst.

If we didn’t have Rob Bricken, how would we be able to tell when to be “appalled” at all the “problematic” things in culture?

Yeah, sheesh. We get no more recaps and when we do, it’s a bummer and the complete opposite to readers’ reactions in O-Deck.

I agree. Sam’s death was foreshadowed all season, as was his mother’s. She had spent most of the season catering to him giving into fear, and dies because his fear takes over and she can’t deal with it. It also was closing the door on the “old” Alexandria, fulfilling a story purpose also shown by Gabriel and Morgan…

Yup. I, like many, disagree with almost everything that Rob has said. Except the daylight -> nightfall timeline. That was just weird.

Agreed! I’m glad I found the channel that had the good episode!

Yeah, I thought it was great, and all the Walking Dead watchers at my office seem to agree (those that braved the weather today, at least)

I think you’ve sufficiently thought out your reasoning behind your dislike of the episode, but as the op said, and as I tweeted last night, it really feels like you watched something different than myself. But everyone is obviously entitled to their own opinions, and it sucks that people are giving you shit about…

Agreed. Yes, there was a bit of teasing deus ex going on. But my god! Sam’s death was telegraphed so clearly. His question about what happens if you can’t live with it, if you can’t stand it, shows why he had to die: like Beth, like Hershel, his emotional fragility and refusal (or inability) to adapt doomed him. He…

So pretty much the same as every time Rob writes a recap.

That’s Rob for ya!

Yeah, I thought this was one of the best episodes I’ve seen in a long time. You know that when the first bulletpoint under “Assorted Musings” is the writer defending their opinion before anyone’s had a chance to disagree, there’s a problem.

Literally, everyone on my FB feed this morning was talking about how it was the best episode in years........Haven’t checked out yet myself, but I can hardly wait. I do feel the show, and especially the comic, veers in to “torture porn” sometimes (well, the comic book a lot actually) so I’m really interested to see if…
