-no real spoilers as nothing really happened- This was a hard episode to watch. Micheone's part wasn't too awful, but holy crap, what were the writers thinking with Carl. It was quite painful to watch. Sadly the worst walking dead yet. I like character development, but the writing and direction has to be there. It's hard to blame the young actor, the director should have the sense to realize that the emotional scenes are just not hitting the mark. It's not ringing true. I am not beating up on supposed character development - in fact I think they need fewer zombie special effect nonsense and more psychological content and story telling. I have been watching the walking dead this since the start and have been hoping that the writing and direction will improve. It has had a few moments of brilliance, but sadly most has been just tolerable. This one feels like rock bottom. Depending on how the rest of the season goes, I think I might have to stop buying this content... :/
