Good riddance to the Gov. And yes, losing Herschel is like losing an uncle...I will miss him. And Judith is gone too....or is she?

So the group is out on the road again. I wonder where they'll end up this time?

Well, it only took seven episodes to finally get this season going. I've been really disappointed thus far.

We watched Talking Dead after and they were saying how the 2nd half season will be really fast paced. February!

So did anyone watch the episode on Sunday or was everyone captivated by the Olympics? I hope that the next few episodes go a bit faster than Sunday's did...

We watched it. So it seems everyone is scattered......with Rick, Carl and Michonne together. You know Darryl survived. I guess we'll see next week how they all are fairing.

I'm wondering if they will all meet up again.

I'd be very surprised if they kept the core characters separate indefinitely. With Michonne meeting up with Rick and Carl at the end I think it's insinuated that those that survive will meet again.

As for the slow pace I actually really enjoyed it. It was much more captivating than a lot of the first half of the season. I almost stopped watching until the mid-season finale.

I think my favorite moment in this episode was Carl sitting on the roof eating pudding. He's had to grow up extremely fast and hasn't been a kid in a long time. In that scene you definitely got a sense of his youth and a yearning to be a normal kid.

I admit that I enjoyed that scene - very much a normal kid thing to do.

So....who was cheering as each character was shown in the episode last night?

And we should call Tyrese...Maxwell.

I've liked the last 2 episodes. I like the wandering story better than the rooted story.

I'd like to see more characters pruned though. I am glad Carol is back.
