I really enjoyed this one.

 

You should strive to eat more fibre.

 

I liked the idea to go back to the city. I love the look of the city post-apocalypse, especially after being used to seeing only rural settings for the past four seasons. The shot of them driving down the road into Atlanta in the night was great (and I'm very sure that's the same road Rick rode the horse down and Glenn that car, so it was like deja vu) I loved the return of our Queen Bitch Carol after being gone for four episodes (Slabtown doesn't count). The scene with the child walker was great, and Daryl putting it down and burning it for her was great, especially after she's been doing everything (Karen and David, Lizzie, wrecking Terminus), and Daryl does that for her. Shows the understanding Daryl has of her and the bond they have. I liked seeing a different side of Noah.

I really liked the flashback of Carol after Rick released into the wild and we saw her state of mind, and before she reunited with Tyreese and the kids, and the flashback where she cleans her face (so people can stop complaining about something not worth complaining about). I like the talks between the two, of how Carol doesn't believe in God and isn't sure of the person she's becoming, while Daryl's growing more positively (with the book about dealing with childhood abuse when he always kept everything bottled up). I also liked the ending with the dilemma of what to do with Noah, and their reactions when he revealed that Beth was there. I also liked how well Noah handled Daryl when Carol was struck, especially with Daryl not going so overboard in his reaction. Overall, I liked the episode.

 

Yeah I took that as a "Daryl being Daryl" moment, just when he warms up and shows his heart (taking care of the child walker, sparing Noah initially, getting the self-help book) then he goes caveman and says some stuff like that and I love it.

I liked the opening scene alot, showed me alot about Carol in just a little bit of time and was very effective at telling the story all before the opening credits... awesome job.

 

Also wanna say CheesyBirdMess, I really like and appreciate the thread idea and hope it gets support and attracts people the same way the complaints/ negativity thread does.

 

I enjoyed the way they only showed the reflection of the burning prison and we got see her reaction simultaneously. I'm glad it was left at that and didn't show whether or not she attempted to look and see if anyone survived. The scene with the painting was nice. A humorous way to show the contrast in their characters. The dialogue between is almost always good. Undeniable chemistry.

 

I have to agree with others who said the city "atmospheric" shots, seeing the deteriorated streets and the outside and inside of city buildings. Good to see after so many rural and suburban settings in past.

 

Yup another successful ep. Flash backs were fun ...Carol's doin thangs

 

Honestly… probably the best episode of the season so far.

 

Daryl is like a big kid. That's what makes him so interesting.

 

There was too much fire and smoke. I want action, not symbolism.

 

I liked the way this episode was filmed. There was a lot of "quiet emotion," in that, we could sense what Carol and Daryl were feeling and thinking by their facial expressions, the lighting, the music. I also thought there was good balance - action, scenery, and character development.

I also appreciated the past references that Carol made about Ed, Sophia, and her abuse. This reminded the audience of who she was, why she did those things in the prison, and who she is today.

And lastly, I am not a Carol and Daryl shipper (I'm more of a Carrick, I know, I know, heh-heh), but I do like the bond we witnessed in this episode. I thought it very moving at the end when they take Carol. You could see the desperate agony Daryl had for Carol as he tried going after her. I believe Daryl loves her - in what way we don't know yet - but we could see how deeply he cares, and most likely loves her (maybe as a friend or a lover, we shall see).

 

Wrong thread.

 

Nothing like camping in the city. Indoors. Good and interesting.
