Yeah I really liked the episode overall... Even the fakey rocket blast and stuff, but overall I really enjoyed that whole episode start to finish. It was fast paced, you felt everyone was in pretty solid danger all the time, even Rick, and you felt like some of the comic stuff coming true just was nice... Very very fun.
The opening 5 minutes alone, just fun. Maybe one of the most fun sequences of the whole series.
I find Carol's responsibility for so many deaths, especially of younger people, to be interesting considering how many people love her. She's basically done one good thing (saving everyone at Terminus). Outside of that, since S2, she's a broken person who does what she wants. She's Shane if Shane hadn't died, oddly enough. Funny how he came to her rescue in S1 and now she's the one who says F it to cooperation. She's manipulative too in many ways. She maybe is even more easy to compare to The Governor in that way. And she's often simply wrong.
But so many people are and that's what is interesting... Like Morgan. Morgan has ideals, like Dale, and ideals don't work and cause more trouble than they solve a lot of the time. Morgan against the Claimers? I dunno how that turns out then.
Morgan when the Termites are trapped? He lets em go, and then what? Someone else is BBQ?
It was nice to see Father Gabriel not be as worthless as a turd. Eugene is Eugene... I thought he was maybe on the way out the most. Even the Glenn thing, they had me on basically every character everywhere being open to their demise. They don't always do that so well. Like last year I knew Glenn wasn't dead. I knew it.
Anyway, good stuff all around. And Alexandria may be a much stronger place, though so many are dead.
And man, thank god those 3 are gone... well, not her, but the other two... I couldn't take them. And if you watched Talking Dead, that kid was as obnoxious in real life.
