- TriviaTo create Hershel's "amputated" leg, the visual effects department has Scott Wilson wear a green sock. Wilson said acting like you don't have a leg gives you "muscles in places you didn't used to have.".
- GoofsUnder Georgia law, the use of "any replica, article, or device having the appearance of such weapon" elevates a robbery charge to armed robbery. So Axel's toy gun was enough for prosecution, the false claim that he used a real gun was unnecessary.

- ConnectionsFeatured in The Walking Dead: Behind the Dead (2017)
Actually really liked Season 2, where the weakest episode ("Cherokee Rose") was very good still, but do share others' feelings about many episodes being on the talky side and moments of slowness. The previous Season 3 episodes to me were very good to brilliant, of which this episode "Home" is one of the best. And a strong reminder of how Seasons 1-5 of 'The Walking Dead' to me were absolutely brilliant and seeing the show in its full glory days (Season 6 was uneven, Season 7 was a huge disappointment and am still debating whether to watch Season 8). It is as emotional, complex and as tense as one would expect , at the same time it has adrenaline and guts.
It still shocks me at how an intelligent, well-made (so much so that it is easy to mistake it for a film) show about zombies could be made when so many films have tried and failed abysmally to do so.
"Home" may be fairly light on the action, apart from the last quarter or so, and more focused on the character development and interaction. The good news is that this aspect is done exceptionally, the character interaction makes for some brilliant scenes that are suspenseful and emotional.
Like all the episodes of the show, "Home" is incredibly well made in the production values, with gritty and audacious production design, photography of almost cinematic quality, effects that look good, have soul and are not overused or abused and pretty frightening make-up. The music is haunting and affecting, having presence but never being too intrusive.
The writing generally is intelligent and thought-provoking, with lots of tension and emotional resonance and still shows signs of character complexity and multiple layer storytelling. The climactic parts are thrilling and terrifying as well as uncompromising.
Appreciated the ever strong and still progressing story and character building. The human drama is balanced well with the more action-heavy latter scenes. Also that the pace is never dull or rushed, deliberate but tight. There is a lot of tension and the ending is memorable.
Everything is tautly paced without rushing through the more important parts and emotionally complex. The world building is stunningly immersive and effective. Direction is smart and atmospheric while the show throughout has been strongly acted. Andrew Lincoln is superb, as are Norman Reedus and Michael Rooker. David Morrisey is suitably sinister and mysterious.
Overall, brilliant. 10/10 Bethany Cox
