It was a powerful scene with brilliant acting. It really shook Rick and brought him back to reality however Morgan was wrong.
Everyone was dying. Rick had no reason to believe Morgan was alive when there was no communication from him. Morgan can't blame Rick for not doing something he wasn't willing to do himself.

 

I have been scared on the walking dead (that few moments when Rick was walking through that dark stairwell while leaving the hospital) Angry (The Rick/Shane friendship erosion) Exasperated (every scene with Andrea) delighted (watching Carl grow up/Little Asskicker being named Little Asskicker) but through all of it, the Sophia stuff, the Lori stuff, this was the first time it ever came close to making me cry.

 

I wasn't saying Morgan blamed Rick for Duane, just for not communicating.

 

Just his guilt was excruciating. That and his loss of hope. That is what really kills them in this situation.

 

yup...chills man

Lennie James brought it in this episode

 

Thats why I love this show..it runs the gamut of emotions

 

Definitely the best acting I've seen, Lennie James is brilliant.

 

That awesome moment you find out Lennie James is British and has a heavy accent but can play off this Morgan character to a tee.

 

He is. He also brings out the very best in Andrew Lincoln. Their scenes together are incredible. There is just good onscreen chemistry between those two and if Lennie James does come onboard fulltime at some point this already amazing show will hit even greater heights.

 

Yeah it was great, especially having two crazy characters in a room and they way Andy Lincoln was like "YOU CRAZY SON OF A B/TCH!", was classic.

 

From a purely acting standpoint, this was by far the the best episode of the season; perhaps the series. Lennie James is an Oscar caliber actor and he brings out the best in whomever he is on camera with. If this episode is not nominated for some awards this year there is no justice.

The producers will be making a huge mistake, if they do not utilize Lennis James' talent and bring him into the fold. His participation would only make The Walking Dead even better.

 

I agree. I don't think the problem is the producers though but Lennie's schedule. He's been doing a lot of projects since Season 1. Hopefully they will be able to bring him back at some point for a full, or even partial, season.

 

I hope they can some how get Lennie in to the full cast. His character is WAY to cool and he is a PHENOMENAL actor. I would go as far as to say if he had a spin off, I would watch the s*** out of that.

 

You nailed it. James is hauntingly brilliant and beyond Oscar worthy should he ever go that direction. He's one of those freaks of acting nature that makes you forget you're watching an actor because he becomes that person completely. Even his fleeting micro expressions indicate how deeply he's feeling his range of emotions... that part is practically impossible to fake. Because of this, there are very few actors in the world whose facial muscles are completely congruent (in movement) with the emotions they need to portray. Lennie is truly a master and everyone oughta know it.
