I think Lori's death was supposed to be sad, but it's hard to be sad about it. Personally I was gleefully chanting "Shoot her in the face! Shoot her in the face!" throughout most of the scene. Towards the end of it, after she called Carl "smart" and he reacted by whining "You're killing her!" when that was the whole fucking plan in the first place I switched to chanting "Turn! Bite him! Shoot them both in the face!"
Rick's melt down at the end just sort of made me react like "Really? That's how you're acting this out?" It was almost so over the top that I bought into it. Almost.
As for the actual action of this episode, I think it would've played out better if the runaway prisoner guy being behind it all hadn't been treated like it was some mystery.
And they finally, finally give T-Dog some traces of a personality and what happens? They kill him. Well fuck. The character was a glorified extra this whole time.
Not really any development on the Governor front this week, but I still don't like how by the numbers that story-line is playing out so far. Suspicious character snooping and asking questions while oblivious character is all "You need to relax. This place is great. How bout we stick around a couple more days!"
Even though it wasn't mentioned this week, I do have a theory regarding the tea that seemed to be a big deal last week. I shall spoilerize it even though I have no foreknowledge about what's coming.
I think they are using the "live" zombies to brew the tea in some attempt to immunize themselves to zombie bites and turning, and it's likely no one but the Governor and the scientist and maybe the doc know about this. Then again, the tea could be no big deal and we could never hear of it again and I'll feel silly for putting so much thought into it.
