If you were disappointed with the slow-paced, character-focused episode "After," you'll probably enjoy this episode more. If you loved that episode, you'll probably be disappointed with "Inmates."
I loved this episode (though not as much as the one before it): There were plenty of tense moments, the cinematography was excellent as always, and I liked how the writers' chose the best grouping of characters possible. Having Tyreese paired with Carol was a genius move, and putting Lizzie-the-Demon-Child in charge of Judith* made just about every sane member of the audience uneasy. I'm glad they separated Glenn and Maggie, and that they paired Glenn up with Tara, which should be interesting to watch.
I don't think there's a single dull moment in this episode, and with all these different story lines going on, there's a lot to look forward to for the rest of the season.
Now for some minor complaints:
The scene where Maggie was afraid Glenn was one of the Walkers in the bus would have been a lot more suspenseful if Glenn hadn't already been shown in the previews. Way to spoil your own show, AMC.
Carol coming in to save the day was a little too convenient.
Why does every minor character seem to die immediately after being introduced?
Tyreese did NOT pick up Judith when they were running away from what they assumed were walkers, yet suddenly he had the baby in his arms?
Minor issues aside, this was a great episode that could be setting up the best half season yet.
*Oh, and Judith is still alive, which is good because without her, the show would just be too bleak.
