What was the shortest, disjointed gestation in TV history came down to a moment in a boiler room with a crude Cesarean for Lori. Poor Carl, it's bad enough to see your mom in labor but to have to put her down afterward to prevent "the turn" was a man up event like no other. I would say he would be scared for life, but we're talking life after life here and he has already been deflowered of his senses.
It was a joyous day, Herschel was up and about minus a leg, and a wretched day, Carol is missing, and T-DOG IS EATEN... No T-Dog, No! ( Twitter momentarily blew up.) Let's balance that up with a dash of Merle sass and we had an awesome episode
The emotional fall out on next episode should be intense, if Ricks reaction is any indication. Never put off saying "I love you" because you never know when your loved one is going to be maternally excavated to death. The poll on "Talking Dead" with Chris Hardwick had Rick taking his frustrations out in a massive zombie kill. I think not. I think he is going to simmer for a few episodes and snap on someone we least expect. Or not. Nothing is like the comic books...and that may be for the best.
