The Show Is Forgiven

Warning: Spoilers
This episode was a very, very good episode of "The Walking Dead." The best since the season 5 premiere, "No Sanctuary." In the past, "The Walking Dead" has been dull at times, emotionless at others, and decent at its very finest. But this season, at least up to this episode, has proved to be far and away the best in the show. It doesn't feel like I'm watching the same show as it was in seasons one through four.

The acting in this episode was superb. Chandler Riggs seemingly gets better with each passing episode in his role as Carl. Andrew Lincoln is as usual complex but contained, and Chad L. Coleman (Tyrese) gives one of his best performances yet. In addition, the priest was absolutely spectacular as an actor as we delve further and deeper into his past.

There was both suspense and emotion in this episode. The scene where the rival group has invaded the church is positively nail-biting, as it is when Rick's group has at it with them. It is of course very sad when Bob dies, and bittersweet when we see Glen and Maggie on the bus, Washington-bound.

One of the greatest episodes of TWD yet; very much rivaling "No Sanctuary" and "Days Gone Bye."
