Character growth in this point of the show is just as important as the action of killing walkers. While some people may disagree and say that it was way too slow, I think that this was a pivotal point for Rick to come back to earth and do what he must to survive. He has finally come to terms with his demons and has conquered most of his grief. Seeing Morgan really shocked him back to the Rick we were used to seeing. I was telling my co-workers in my office at DISH that I was surprised at how much this episode touched me. I can’t even imagine how months and months of living in these conditions would affect me. I don’t get to see the newest episode of The Walking Dead the night it airs because I’m usually at work but thanks to the Hopper and DISH Anywhere I can catch up on the show on my iPad anytime I want.

My favorite part of the episode was that they never once spoke a word about the hitchhiker. Everyone was on the same page, they knew they had to leave him but they also didn’t want to talk about it.

My favorite part of this episode was when Michonne went back into the zombie-filled restaurant for not only Carl’s photo, but she saw a rainbow cat sculpture she couldn’t resist. I loved it.

Lennie James makes just about everything better.

I was really saddened about the hitchhiker at first since I was drinking. Then realized that he made it this whole time just fine and a few get him. Rick and them are better off, he’s weak!!!!

I always scramble to press pause, or switch the TV off the moment I hear “Next week on..”

Fking douchebags.

Lol @Spleenfarmer that last comment made me think what would happen if they turned backpack guy into sort of a “Cabbage guy” from the Avatar series. Like, everytime the group is driving anywhere he goes “Hey guys!” and they just pass him over and over and over.

Also Paul thanks for pointing out the previously part again. The worst part is: 1) If you’ve seen the first episode, Lennie James performance was so memorable that you don’t need a stupid reminder that he is a character.
2) If you haven’t seen the first episode, the “previously” clip does NOTHING to bring you up to speed. You are still going to be like “Who the hell is this guy? Oh, i guess it’s some dude from a previous episode.”

I never watch stupid Talking Dead, because seriously that Chris dude… just… really? But the annoying preview clips make it sound like they take phone calls so I think everyone on this website should try to get on the show and call out AMC or whomever for this BS.

When Rick and crew were heading back home, the camera panned and we saw the hilly road that brought them into town. I was really hoping we’d see backpack guy crest the hill and give a “Hey, you guys!!” just as Rick and crew drove past him. Again.

I’m still hopeful that we might see him again. No body = no write-off.

I was a bit sad that backpack guy died. I would have liked him as a recurring character, somebody they passed every time they drove somewhere. Zombie shows need a bit of comic relief.

This was the first episode of TWD that I legitimately enjoyed this season so far. Michonne finally saying something was nice, and I loved Rick seeing what he could become, as well as being confronted with his failure to live up to his promises. I don’t understand what was unbelievable about him passing out from being shot point blank, even with body armor.

@og bobb j, when I first saw the backpack guy, my initial thought was that it was a trap to get them to stop the car. So, I can get why they didn’t help him.
