Not a very eventful episode, which is fine because not every episode can be, and this one more than makes up for it with tension, atmosphere and character interactions. Having just a few central characters per episode is something that works really well for this show so I'm really hoping for more episodes like this.
GOOD POINTS:
Rick hiding from the bandits- this was really intense. Sometimes in this show it feels like certain characters have too many close calls, but this didn't feel overdone at all. glad to finally see some more badass Rick moments.
Tara- when she was first introduced she seemed pretty annoying. After this episode, she's probably one of my favourite characters- seeing her stick by Glenn in his search for Maggie (despite only meeting him last episode) made her really likable.
Settings- More so than other seasons, 4b is putting a lot of effort into creating creepy, ambient locations. The pink room was really disturbing, and the scene at the end with the railroad had a sort of eerie, empty feel to it.
NOT-SO-GOOD POINTS:
Eugene- Accidentally destroying a truck then bragging about how smart he is didn't seem like the best introduction for possibly my favourite comic character. Still, the actor does a great job and I think there's a lot of potential for him.
Terminus- Just a minor point, but I feel like Michonne should have been more suspicious about joining a new community after Woodbury last season
