I actually forgot this show was on. Good thing torrents...bad news AMC. I mean can you blame me? Archer and Justified, yo. The hiatus really threw off the show's groove. We'll see how viewer ratings hold up.
I like the part where Daryl called Lori "Olive Oil."
Next episode: "I'm not helping, fucking spaghetti!"
Okay, so now that we have the negatives out of the way...this was a really good episode. Another step in the right direction. The bar scene at the end was awesome.
I mean, it was a metaphor, right? Kind of like Rick was being put into Hershel's shoes for a few seconds with these new strangers who want to camp out at his place. But of course they are more sinister so he had to pop them (okay, that's cliche, but it's a good cliche). I give this episode a mother fucking A-. The show has finally broke that barrier for me.
They also ended the episode with a Clutch song. How did the guys at AMC know that Clutch is like my favorite band?
Is Rick the "regulator?"
Quote:
I see that lantern trimmed low burning in our home.
And though I feel like crying, I swear tonight, I'll cry no more.
And how many times have I prayed
That I would get lost along the way?
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head.
The regulator's swinging pendulum.
Come with me and walk the longest mile.
Is his wallet leather? Is his wallet fat?
For not a year later it's got you lying on your back.
You should have closed your windows and got another dog.
You should have chained up all the doors and switched up all the locks.
And how many times have I prayed
The angels would speed me away.
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head.
The regulator's swinging pendulum.
Come with me and walk the longest mile.
