Anybody think the note from Joe Jr about not being able to put down his dad is foreshadowing for Carl eventually having to do the same thing?
Or did the fakeout toward the end of this episode take care of that?
I think the latter. Carl thought he could , and he was wrong.
Yeah I'm inclined to think so too. Too bad, when that moment happened I thought they might actually have the guts to kill off a major character this year.
I'm guessing that particular artistic decision won't happen til Andrew Lincoln decides he wants more money.
EDIT: Weird that Carl "couldn't do it" when he already put down his mother without much hesitation. Guess he liked Dad best.
Agree.
I don't think it was a setup for anything deeper than what happened at the end ... no way they would kill off Rick, (I'd stop watching - same with Daryl, not that they care, but I think that's a common sentiment).
SPOILER: Best part of this one?
Michonne and Hershel's head at the git ... I was hoping she'd stick it on a pole to inspire, like Lord of the Flies...
Michonne: "Hey, look! The old guy's still with us ... and he hasn't stopped preaching!"
Hershel: "Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle ... argh!" (Jk - loved Hershel).
They could just stick the pole in the ground at every camp site and it would act like a "citronella candle" version of Michonne's two walkers, masking them as carrion.
And he has such a calming influence on Little Bum-Kicker, (who I believe is
very much alive and well ...
and filling her diaper with walker grease and the remnants of the mitochondrial answer to the horror, IMO).
Just an idea ... didn't say it was
good.
