So much mindblowing stuff. Did I miss anything??

- Mary is Gareth's mom (not super mindblowing but whatever)
- Corpse on the slab is his brother that they were going to eat
- Crazy guy in train car was head rapist from the past
- first guy who got his throat slit was the hippy dude when rick and carol bumped into that couple where the woman died

Wow what a great opener. Loved everything about it. Carol is a fucking badass. Tyreese got pushed too far and went from babysitter to berserker. Rick didn't hesitate once he got his chance and just mowed people down, living or dead.

The reunion with Carol and then the scene with Judith was emotional and really well done.

And Morgan is back, fucking A.

Really awesome episode! The production value has jumped tremendously. The walkers and how they were being taken out looked better than ever!

I was waiting for the moment where Tyrese has to fight off zombies with his bare hands. Never happened in the prison, but glad they worked that in somehow.

Glad they further detailed some of that Terminus stuff. That was a good listen.

One thing I like about it is that the episode has a great arc of how 'merciful' choices are not mercy at all in context. Or that everyone is guilty in the end.

They fight to save the dude in the container, when he turned out to be the leader of a rape gang.

They kill a bunch of cannibals who imprisoned them, when they were just trying to survive after being ghoulishly victimized.

Tyresse, in a show of incredible stupidity, refuses to kill a guy, and it nearly gets him and the baby killed. AND, if he didn't kill the dude, I bet he shows up later to harm more.

The writers or our 'heroes' need to accept at some point that they are simply killing other people. They have as much blood on their hands as alot of other people. They have got to start making smart survival choices. Rick is fairly close to it, and Carol with Daryl are already there. Maggie, Tyresse and others? They need to get with the program.

I'd really love this show more if the dumb choices weren't so infuriating. Still Carol was on fire, almost literally, tonight. I was loving it.

You can tell something is a brewing. We got Beth...somewhere. Morgan tracking....something. And Rick's gang who are rolling deep who are eventually going to end up somewhere.

Shit is going to get interesting.

Meh, don't care for the Termites were "good" people crap. I'm glad they didn't go too detailed bout it in the show. Zombie world makes good people bad we knew that since episode 1 and every episode since.

I just love so much that Morgan from the pilot is still around. And Carol who has been around from the start too has evolved so much. Same with Daryl. I hope they never die :(

But you know it will happen eventually.

Yeah, I hope there's no more flashbacks about it. There's no way to make someone like Gareth sympathetic after showing what he's become.

And talking like "Rick is close to that" is total bullshit. He's never gone after someone who hasn't wronged him first.

Great premiere. Was really lukewarm on Season 4 but this season is off to a great start.

Carol was badass and I'm excited as heck for Morgan to be back.

So that was a fantastic opener. Carol is the new badass on the block. Reminds me a bit like comic book Andrea. Nice to see Morgan is back too.

They haven't showed it in a long time but he had been leaving markers of some sort for Morgan to hopefully follow. So I guess we can assume he had been doing it all along

Really? I dont remember that at all. You have an episode that he does that in? Either way thanks.

Not sure the exact episode but in s1, before Rick leaves Morgan's house he mentions somthing about clues to where he's heading. Maybe in the Morgan episode last season he says somthing too?

They mostly did it to show that Hershel's idea of "everyone can be good in the bottom of their hearts." Isn't true. It wasn't true when the Governor decapitated him, and it wasn't true when Terminus trusted everyone and their mother.

What if Mary didn't die? We didn't see Mary got eaten. What if Gerath came to save Mary just in time and she told him that Carol is the one that destroy the camp? That would make the case for Gerath to come after Carol and Rick's group.

Zombies were on her like flies on shit when Carol opened the door.

She died. Zombies were at that door and Carol knew. Carol also kneecapped her with a sniper rifle/assault rifle (forgetting the gun) bullet. What good is Mary gonna be against that? Especially since Carol was slathered in Zombie guts/blood to mask herself to get past them.
