Not sure how I feel about last nights episode...it was a good one, just not what i expected/wanted to see.
Keeping the Gov. alive? Makes sense for the show, you always need a good villian. But if i was in that situation and just witnessed my "leader" slaughter 30+ innocent people I wouldve dropped him in a heartbeat in fear of what he would do next (that guy from Tyrese's group had him, just shouldve pulled the trigger before taking one to the head). I dont think it will take long for Martinez and the other guy to wise up and run, or be killed trying.
I have mixed feelings about Carl killing the kid. I feel like they told him to drop the weapon and he not only didnt, he was being shady and pointing a shotgun in their direction saying "Here, take it". So in that sense he got what was coming to him and Carl made the right move. I also feel Carl reacted to quickly and shouldve told him "Thrown the gun on the ground or i shoot".
Also, I dont think Tyrese wouldve reacted the way he did when Rick and Co. showed up at Woodbury. A crazy guy that pulled a gun on you and forced you to leave without ever speaking to you (not to mention while yelling at the ghost of his dead wife) shows up after your new group just went to war against him, with one "hostage" saying everyone else is dead and your leader went crazy? I doubt your first reaction is to leave the safety of your perch and open the gate with your weapon hanging at your side. I understand Tyrese had his own suspicions about the Gov. but he didnt have any reason to trust Rick either.
BTW, did anybody watch The Talking Dead and hear that crazy caller giving his prophecy of "The hour is near, the dead will rise..."?
