Thought the same. I was going into it expecting it to be meh, but man was I wrong.
well, i'm not a huge fan of them jumping all around the timeline like they have been. to me, that's a gimmick that works well when lightly used, but like putting too much garlic on something, can kill when overused. in the 1st episode of the year i loved it. grew tired of it by last week but last night it fit. as far as i know we still are not 100% certain what happened to his wife and child, other than killed, as far as i know. in any event, something made him that crazy and had to be brought back and yea, i may have missed it told elsewhere. that or they'll say in 3 episodes and come back to it later.
to pull it out the way they did in this show last night was brilliant, i thought. morgan, lennie james is doing a phenominal job with this role and becoming one of my favorites. you could feel his anger and you could feel it subside as he turned back to "human" so to speak. i was glad they took an extra 30 minutes for it and allowed it to play out moreso than just a 60 minute episode. i do however hope they do NOT make it an entire season like the gov when he went on his own walkabout.
next week should be fun. find out i hope what happened to glenn but it looks like it will get milked as the previews showed maggie gearin up with a DO NOT STOP ME look on her face. she has faded this season as has carl. judith they just bring out when bored.
good show. a break from the panic fest of the previous 3 and now back to seeing how improbable the escapes are for rick and glenn.
