This is the fourth episode of the third season of the Walking Dead and this episode was so unexpected, as it has not one, but two character deaths which surprised me because we are so early in the season. That being said, I practically cried my eyes out and I never cry watching TV or movies. It was a painful episode to watch, but the episode was well-done. There is lot of action, lots of grief, and the acting is fantastic. The final confrontation between Lori and Carl gave me the chills.

In this episode, "Killer Within," Michonne wants to leave Woodbury, but Andrea is not too sure. Back at the prison, Herschel is learning how to walk on crutches. But a major walker attack happens which separates the group. Rick, Darryl, and Glen are trying to suppress the walkers as Carol and T-Dog get caught up in their own walker battle. Lori starts to break water, so it's up to Maggie and Carl to save the baby before it's too late.

Overall, this is one emotional roller-coaster of an episode. It's well-done and features fantastic acting. I am very sad at the deaths of Lori and T-Dog, whom both died a hero's death. Finally, Rick's reaction to the passing of his wife really broke my heart. An old life has been lost, but a new life has been born. I rate this episode 10/10.

Someone is opening the prison gates and attracting walkers inside. Rick and his group prepare a crutch for Hershel while the two inmates try to negotiate with Rick, Daryl and T-Dog to join their group, but Rick does not accept the offer and they decide to leave the facilities. When Rick, Daryl, and Glenn are outside the prison to burn corpses and clean the place, the rest of the group is attacked by a crowd of walkers and Maggie, Carl and Lori split and head to the interior of the C-Block, while T-Dog is bitten by a walker.

Meanwhile Michonne sees the holes of bullets in the National Guard vehicles and she decides to leave the place with Andrea. However, the blonde is reluctant to leave Woodbury, since she believes that the governor is a good man.

Back to prison, Lori can not run anymore and Maggie and Carl locks with her in the boiler room. Now is time to the delivery and Lori needs a cesarean, but Maggie does not have skill or medical supplies. A decision has to be made: if Lori has the baby, she dies and will certainly turns into a walker, unless someone helps her.

"Killer Within" is so far the best episode of this excellent Third season and sadder than "Pretty Much Dead Already", when the fans learn that Sophie had turned into a walker and was locked in Hershel's barn. Carl's coming of age is in the cruelest (and saddest) way and will be certainly affected by his necessary action.

The renewal (Governor, Michonne, the baby, the two inmates) and the return (Merle, Andrea) of characters, locations and situations are refreshing but the losses are emotional and sad farewells. My vote is ten.

Title (Brazil): "Killer Within"

Note: On 11 April 2016, I saw this show again.

I have watched TWD completely half a dozen times, always hated Lori, because she acted selfish everytime. Even her death here doesn't effect me, but the pain suffered by others, especially Carl, Rick, is just on another level. That's all one can say.

Rick and the crew are barricading the prisons fences with cars. Then it cuts Laurie and Herschels daughter help the now one legged Herschel walk outside in the prison yard. You finally see Rick and Laurie share a smile. Of course, in Walking Dead you can't have happy moments. So, the next instance, Walkers start to come into the prison and the Prison Alarms start to blare attracting all the nearby walkers. Chaos breaks lose.

Meanwhile in the town of Woodbury, Michonne doesn't feel right about the governor. Andrea on the other hand, has fallen under the Governers charming persona.

SPOILERS! with the prison under chaos by walkers, Carl, Maggie and Laurie run and hind in the prison boiler room. There, Laurie goes into labor. But when she isn't able to deliver the baby the normal way,So they have to preform an emergency c-section. Which she wont survive. She does die.

The last major thing I want to say is that all the acting in this perfect. The whole cast is at top game.

So a surprisingly spectacular episode for only the fourth of the season. 10 out of 10.

Talk about a whirlwind... This episode feels like experiencing a tornado while on a roller coaster--what a thrill ride!

It fascinates me that the Governor keeps lying to Michonne like she's buying what he's selling. It was nice seeing Merle have a genuine moment when Andrea helps him map out where last she saw Daryl.

"Aw man, can't we have just one good day?" Talk about foreshadowing. T-Dog did his due diligence protecting the group. Clearly there's a rat among them. The running theme of trust is explored, very eloquently illustrating that the call needs to be based on the behavior of the person and not their past.

T-Dog's sacrifice for Carol was tragic. Maggie and Carl having to go to bat for Lori... That whole scene was beyond words. The turmoil and emotions swirling, especially with Rick's desperation. The scene where Maggie and Carl have to pull together for Lori.. Her words to Carl. I am kind of angry at Maggie for making Carl do that. Rick's speech to Carl, the flashback... Just no words.

I enjoyed that this ep blends both worlds: the prison and Woodbury. The effect is a poignant juxtaposition of the illusion of safety versus the gritty, raw reality of the world they live in. Sometimes real safety lies in knowing exactly where you stand. Lies only beget a vulnerability that leaves you anywhere but safe.

The end. No score... No words

La situacion en la prision estaba bastante tranquila y rutinaria. la parte de woodbury fue bastante interesante, merle insiste con ir en busca de su hermano por lo que habla co. andrea y luego con el gobernador y este demuestra su nivel de manipulacion e inteligencia al tomar decisiones. el episodio empieza con una persona a la cual no le vemos el rostro pero que tendra una importancia fundamental para lo que ocurrira en una gran parte del episodio. t dog toma un postura respecto a los prisioneros de dejarlos vivir con ellos pero los demas no quieren arriesgar lo que ganaron. este problema es muy interesante y muestra como funciona el mundo para los protagonistas. rick, daryl y glenn juntando leña, hersherl y los demas tranquilos en el patio, rick mira a lori, la camara se mueve y caminantes aparecen, una decision increible. la direccion de esta escena es increible, rick corriendo desesperado, maggie y los demas tratan de cuidar a lori y t dog en un acto heroico es mordido cerrando la reja para que mas caminantes no entren. rick y los demas llegan y se prenden unas alarmas por lo que los prisioneros los guian. y con todo este lio, lori esta por parir. la muerte de t dog es increible, un acto heroico, salvando a carol, alguien que sigue vivo, por lo que no fue en vano. adios t dog. rick y los demas llegan al lugar y rick pelea con un prisionero que creian muerto. oscar lo mata demostrando respeto por rick. y coronandose como una de las mejores escenas de la serie, carl, maggie y lori deben esconderse de una horda que esta en los pasillos. lori debe parir, por lo que maggie debe ayudarla, pero maggie debe hacerle una cesarea. maggie con lagrimas en los ojos, carl llora por su madre y en una de las escenas mas emotivas, carl se despide de lori, maggie corta la panza de lori y saca al bebe. carl no quiere que su madre se convierta por lo que decide matarla, oh mi dios, un momento increible. rick y los demas encuentran a t dog y creen que carol murio, por lo que van al patio. rick y los demas llegan pero no habia nadie, carl y maggie llegan con judith en brazos. andrew lincoln se lucio y nos trajo un momento destructivo emocionalmente. un final que me dejo llorando The situation in the prison was quite calm and routine. Woodbury's part was quite interesting, Merle insists on going in search of his brother for what he talks about. Andrea and then with the governor and he demonstrates his level of manipulation and intelligence in making decisions. The episode begins with a person whose face we don't see but will be of fundamental importance for what will happen in a large part of the episode. t dog takes a stand on prisoners to let them live with them but others don't want to risk what they earned. This problem is very interesting and shows how the world works for the protagonists. Rick, Daryl and Glenn gathering firewood, hersherl and the rest of them in the courtyard, Rick looks at Lori, the camera moves and walkers appear, an incredible decision. the direction of this scene is incredible, rick running desperate, maggie and the others try to take care of lori and t dog in a heroic act is bitten by closing the fence so that more walkers do not enter. Rick and the others arrive and alarms go off so the prisoners guide them. and with all this mess, lori is about to give birth. The death of t dog is incredible, a heroic act, saving Carol, someone who is still alive, so it was not in vain. Goodbye t dog. Rick and the others arrive at the scene and Rick fights with a prisoner they thought was dead. Oscar kills him by showing respect for Rick. And crowning as one of the best scenes in the series, Carl, Maggie and Lori must hide from a horde that is in the halls. lori must give birth, so maggie must help her, but maggie must give her a caesarean section. Maggie with tears in her eyes, Carl cries for her mother and in one of the most emotional scenes, Carl says goodbye to Lori, Maggie cuts Lori's belly and takes the baby out. Carl does not want his mother to become so he decides to kill her, oh my god, an incredible moment. Rick and the others find t dog and believe that Carol died, so they go to the patio. Rick and the others arrive but there was no one, Carl and Maggie arrive with Judith in their arms. Andrew Lincoln showed off and brought us an emotionally destructive moment. an ending that left me crying

The previous episode was the poorest one in the series so far for me, but this episode was a fine return to form.

I know an episode is well done when it brings me to tears.

In Japanese Anime, the early coming of age of children is a regular theme. It's rare to see in Western media, but Carl, despite the fact he is ostensibly a child, demonstrates that all human beings have the capacity to rise up to any circumstance when they have something they love and need to protect.

Lori delivers the message of the episode when she tells Carl that he needs to do "the right thing", to do "what feels right", a lesson Rick forgot in a previous episode, and brought about the calamity which befell them all.

The easy way may is easy, but, it is never the right way. Shane never learned that lesson and his demons consumed him. It seems that Rick is primed to relearn that lesson in the cruel ways available in the world gone mad.

"You Co/uming" -Daryl Dixon. This is the greatest episode of TWD so far. This is such an emotional episode. It starts off with us seeing someone going around the prison cutting chains and getting walkers all rattled up. It is later revealed to be Andrew. Not Andrew Lincoln, the second evil prison guy from 2 episodes ago (Sick "3x2") who Rick chased and left him for dead. He survived and was the reason the alarms were going off in the prison. He later got the jump on Rick but Oscar (the goat) shot him and proved him self to the group. T-Dog got bit and then later sacrificed himself for Carol. Lori died in child birth and poor Coral had to shoot his own mother to prevent her from becoming a walker. This episode impacted Rick so much. I would rate this episode even higher if it was just the prison group and not Woodbury.

This episode was, or the story was, epic. But the editing? Or, how they had switch story al the time. Not good. Really, not good. We see the prison get overrun, then we are Woodbury, then we are prison again. Keep it straight!

We knew there was going to be death. We knew going into this season that we were going to see more violence, gore, and sorrow. We knew we would lose members of the group. But damn…did you think four episodes into season three of The Walking Dead would be the last time we saw our female lead?

Episode four, titled Killer Within, was possibly the most emotional episode in The Walking Dead's history. A son stands over his pregnant mother as she cries and says her goodbye to him. A husband cries on the ground as he is introduced to his new child with the mother noticeably absent. A new life is born as another is taken from this chaotic and terrifying world. And not just one life, but at least two.

That's right, before getting into recap, someone should give the goodbye salute to T-Dog, who can't even has his death be the main storyline of an episode. So long T-Dog. We never really got to know you and the group never respected you as much as it should have. And with that aside, goodbye Lori, a mother who sacrificed her own life for what is right in a world that is so wrong.

Killer Within begins with a series of shots of someone drawing walkers into the main gate of the prison. Someone has been watching our group, and this person is making the moves to have the prison overrun. Inside the prison, Rick and the crew make more plans to make the place their home, but they are once again confronted with the two prisoners that live in the other cell block. They wish not to live there anymore and Rick must decide their fate. He chooses to not let them in the group and goes about getting firewood from outside the gate for the group.

Things start looking up as Herschel finally gets out of bed and takes a walk around the prison to the courtyard. The sight of Herschel brightens the spirit of everyone in the group (even Rick gives Lori a smile), but the excitement is short-lived as a horde of zombies comes storming into the courtyard. The fight against them begins and the group is split up into different parts of the prison. T-Dog is bit and tries to keep moving to get Carol to safety, Hershel and Beth lock themselves into a walkway cage, Rick, Glenn, Daryl and the two prisoners make their way back into the courtyard to take out the horde, and Lori, Maggie, and Carl move to an underground boiler room where Lori is going into labor.

Dude this episode got some massive balls for actually killing a charecter, not at the beginning not at the end but smack dab in the middle!

This show can be a very heart breaking sometimes . . . . . T-Dog what a hero

Lori's end was sad. They had to give birth to the child with a cesarean section, killing Lori in the road. All of this while Carl was watching and he was the one to kill her brains off. This will surely hit on Carl. T-dog dies saving Carol in the process. Rick is devastated and now he needs to raise Carl and the newborn as a single father. Without settling his differences with Lori.

In a episode before one of the bad prisoners escaped, but you think he's been killed by a herd of walkers. But you didn't really see it. Now in this episode there's a person that apparently is angry with the group and cuts open a fence. And so a herd of walkers enter the prison and without Rick, Daryl and Glenn there the group cant really defend themselves. So they try to hide. But to make matters worse Lori seems to get her baby...

This is definitely the best episode. I still keep wondering how the story writers could have made such a thrilling scenario. Its thrilling, full of suspense, dramatic, sad, etc...

Season 3 Episode 4 is one of the saddest episode of the entire walking dead TV series. As we know it, mostly, there weren't two or three people died in a single episode. But in this episode, there are three people died in the same episode. First Lori, second T-Dog and lastly, Carol. Although there isn't any solid proof that shows Carol's died. So, I still hope that she's still alive. She's a great woman and wanted to help people no matter what. She doesn't deserve to be dead.

It's so sad to see Lori's death indeed. But what saddest is that Carl had to kill his own mother. I know that before he killed her, she's already dead. So, in Carl's defense, she's not his mother and he didn't kill her.

Of all people, why did Lori need to die? Even though I kind of don't like her because she had an affair, I wish she didn't die at all for the sake of Carl. But it's so sad that she had to die. 😭

As for T-Dog, I kind of like him for saving Carol. That's one of the reasons why I want her to be still alive.

What I like of this episode is Lori sacrificed for the baby. She said she's not a good mother. But the way I see it, she makes a good mother although she had affair with Shane. Yet, I don't think she's terrible mother.

From this episode, I think I'm going to hate Andrea. She thinks she knows all. Pity that she doesn't even know a thing. As for me, her sister Amy was better.

I really want to know what governor aka Philips is up to. Killing innocent people and take their stuffs? That's a very bad action. For now, I think that's the most interesting thing. I can't wait to find out the answer. All in all, the walking dead TV show is really good and I'm loving it.

Killer Within is one of the best Walking Dead episodes so far. Aside from the shock value of Lori dying, every aspect of the episode was impressive. The directing was very good and it helped this episode be scary and very intense. The script did justice to T-Dog, who wasn't a very developed character, but had an amazing exit. He died fighting for his friends, and kept his faith strong. I could not think of a better way to send him off. It was also emotional, like Pretty Much Dead Already from last season. All the acting was great, and I liked the flashbacks to earlier episodes when Carl was going to shoot Lori. I don't have too much to say other than that I was very impressed with this episode.

One of the saddest episode. Goodbye Lori 😢 I am excited watch this series until end.

Okay, let's get this over with. In this episode: Rick dies, Merle dies, Glenn dies.

Wait…sorry. I made a mistake. Sometimes it's so hard to keep track of these things since I've read every issue of the comic, even the ones that haven't been published yet. None of these characters die in this episode, but they will in future episodes.

Every single character will die in future episodes. Also, you're going to die. I don't know that because I've read all the comics. I know that because it's common sense. Everyone dies. You will also come back to life as a zombie—more common sense.

Do you know who also came back as a zombie? The black guy. I forgot his name. He died in this episode. It really happened. It was very sad. He was a compelling character and we will miss him. But he needed to die. Because it allowed his character to develop even more. And it finished out his character arc.

His death was also essential. Because his place in the group of survivors was taken by another black guy: the prisoner who earned Rick's trust by shooting another prisoner who attacked Rick (and also happened to be black) in the face instead of shooting Rick in the face. Because according to the rules, there can only be one black guy in the group. It's like Highlander, but with black guys rather than immortal Europeans.

There was also another black prisoner for a little while. He was nice. Zombies scratched him up a little. The Hispanic guy killed him with a pickaxe, hitting him enough times to make sure his corpse looked so unappealing that the zombies would lose their appetites. Then Rick split the Hispanic guy's head down the middle with a machete.

So anyway, do you ever wonder if there are zombies who used to be celebrities lurching around?

I wonder if in the next episode, Laurie will meet Brad Pitt. And she'll get all starstruck and ask, "Hey, didn't you used to be Brad Pitt?" And Brad Pitt will respond by eating her face off.

------------TV Snorted My Brain

Not only is this one of the best Walking Dead episodes, it's one of the best episodes of any television show out there. It starts off with a mysterious man in a prison uniform laying a dead deer out and breaking the prison gates. It cuts back to Carol, Rick, Daryl, T-Dog, Glenn, and Maggie moving cars. Lori and Beth get crutches for Hershel and help him walk out into the prison yard. There's a nice moment of quietness and joy that is all ruined when walkers pour through the gate. Hershel and Beth get in a gate and Maggie leads Lori and Carl into C Block, ending up in a boiler room. T-Dog is bit and sacrifices himself to save Carol. Lori goes into labor and has an intense moment with Carl before Maggie does an emergency C-Section on Lori, killing her, to save the baby. Maggie and Carl walk out into the prison yard and when Rick notices Lori's not with them he starts bawling and screaming. This episode's excitement and intensity blows me away. The acting by Chandler Riggs, Lauren Cohan, and Sarah Wayne Callies is some of the best I've ever seen and the plot is magnificent. 10/10
