The beginning five or so minutes are good and the last five or so minutes are good. Not great, not awesome, perhaps slightly cool, but certainly good.
I simply don't understand why at this late stage in the game everyone is still acting like things just went to seed yesterday instead of the weeks past they keep talking about. The attempts at characterizations are OK, but seriously, wouldn't the breakdown of order and airing of family laundry happened quite some time ago? (For that matter I REALLY want to see flashbacks of the world ending.) I don't understand why that whole group went to Atlanta for supplies and came back with nothing; why anyone who knows sound attracts walkers would drive a car alarm right into camp (stop BEFOREhand somewhere and get in the cube van dude!); why a man rejoined with his family would take off the next day to go back for an idiot (collateral damage, if Merle had to be sacrificed so the others could get out, such is life); why someone in handcuffs doesn't try to saw off the smallest diameter pipe they're attached to first, then the bolt, the bigger pipe, then his thumb, and THEN maybe his hand. The zombies couldn't get him (and did they just give up after he left their line of sight?), what's the rush? Maybe that he's mentally deranged. Maybe. Any why, oh why, after his speech about saving the other father and his son from Atlanta didn't they go for the bag FIRST before the roof? If it means doubling back, then double back WITH GUNS. It's not even like this show is sacrificing gore for writing. It's not giving us either.
Oh, and the line about "you told me my husband was dead you SOB!" just makes it look like she's putting all the guilt on him. It was a 99% chance he was dead and you already stated how tough it was to get out of your own smaller town, even with help, so it stands to reason he WAS, without it. She seemed to be a bit too harsh on the man who helped get her family out alive. It takes two to tango the dance of adultery lady.
If you have a DVR I recommend watching the beginning, the Norman Reedus parts, and the end. That's it. Save yourself 35 minutes in the middle.
