Self Help top episode you should understand why I'm smarter than you ;)

Warning: Spoilers
Another top episode of #TheWalkingDead really good back story for both Abraham and Eugene and emotional scenes with great progressing characters & good adaptations from the comics! Yeah I'm a nerd with this but it makes me happy and I don't give a crap :) Overall for me Self Help gave Abraham and Eugene their first real character- building/revealing story since they came into the series last February. Eugene was using Abraham to survive and, despite the big betrayal, Abraham was using Eugene's lie to help facilitate his own subconscious denial. An inner pain that manifested itself physically through his own never-healing bloody hand.The twist was something viewers may have been able to spot coming, while comic readers knew for sure would come, but it was still all handled really well here. With very great performances from Michael Cudlitz and Josh McDermitt. McDermitt may have even had the trickier time, perhaps, since Eugene often sticks out as having a somewhat mannered, cartoon like delivery style compared to the others around him. It was Brilliant "I'm smarter than you"
