I thoroughly enjoyed this one - still action-packed, but with great character development ... Rick Grimes don't take no prisoners .... just brutal

YEAH... I love a "take no prisoners" Rick!!! I like the fact that the boy is turning a bit sadistic as well.

Great comparison in this article of TWD to Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" - both transcended their respective genres by giving their respective gunslinging heroes a tortured soul

another good episode, finally covering some new ground!

Thoughts that come to mind: Captain hook, preserved heads from futurama (the cartoon), and also what the heck is up with wearing your holster on the weak side for a very very long cross draw? It doesn't even look cool or tough, it just looked stupid.

Anyone else notice The Governor shot that guy running away at about 100 yards using an M4/AR-15 with NO REAR SIGHT ?

I made the decision a few seasons ago to try my best to ignore the fifty shot revolvers and one thousand round machine guns...LOL. Now we have no sights and the weirdest form of carry I have yet to witness. I am driven buggy by watching ricks Colt Python swinging away from his body as he walks around. You would think that thing would snag on a passing zombie. LOL.

Next thing you know they'll be fixing neon green bayonet knives to their pistols...

This is what was running through my mind at the end of the episode:

ooooh, so thats how that process got started.

So True!!!

So I guess he killed those soldiers because he wanted their gear but not them?

Yes. More stuff, less mouths to feed than if he took them in.

And I suspect he may have been worried about soldiers challenging his leadership ... or as others might say:

Also, they were clearly people who would not respect a leader who uses their holster backwards. So they had to go.
