Talk about a whirlwind... This episode feels like experiencing a tornado while on a roller coaster--what a thrill ride!
It fascinates me that the Governor keeps lying to Michonne like she's buying what he's selling. It was nice seeing Merle have a genuine moment when Andrea helps him map out where last she saw Daryl.
"Aw man, can't we have just one good day?" Talk about foreshadowing. T-Dog did his due diligence protecting the group. Clearly there's a rat among them. The running theme of trust is explored, very eloquently illustrating that the call needs to be based on the behavior of the person and not their past.
T-Dog's sacrifice for Carol was tragic. Maggie and Carl having to go to bat for Lori... That whole scene was beyond words. The turmoil and emotions swirling, especially with Rick's desperation. The scene where Maggie and Carl have to pull together for Lori.. Her words to Carl. I am kind of angry at Maggie for making Carl do that. Rick's speech to Carl, the flashback... Just no words.
I enjoyed that this ep blends both worlds: the prison and Woodbury. The effect is a poignant juxtaposition of the illusion of safety versus the gritty, raw reality of the world they live in. Sometimes real safety lies in knowing exactly where you stand. Lies only beget a vulnerability that leaves you anywhere but safe.
The end. No score... No words
