Disgusted and disappointed as a fan of the comics. It was a surprising ending, but not a great episode in my eyes. The pacing is just killing me.

Concur. 45 minutes talking about one topic is just dragging the shit out of this show. Now that was followed by, admittedly, an ending I NEVER would have saw coming, and although I don't like losing him as a fan of his acting, it does drive the point home that no one is safe.

Just watched it. Wow. Very unexpected. With this big a divergent from the comic I hope it doesn't mean the other death we're waiting on isn't going to happen in the way we want it to. Was that vague enough? As a side note: |

What I liked about the episode was that the ending gave me the same feeling as the book. Anyone one can die! Yea some of the hand-wringing this ep was a bit much and could have been handled more subtley but the fact that they caught us completely by surprise, it reminded me of some of the shocking bits from the book: while i will miss as I loved his character in the book...this is not the book and if it played out all the scenes like the book it would become predictable and would loose the edge it has. I think the end of season 2 will be what is expected, but maybe not how, AMC did a great job on keeping everyone focused and discussing that possible death while keeping this one under wraps and able to maintain the impact. well done. I am still really enjoying this series and it's slow burn. I like the slower pace as it give time to dig into the character and flesh them out so when they buy the farm it hurts. Is the pacing perfect, no, but it is far better than most shows on commercial TV. |

I have absolutely no problem adding new material to keep things fresh, or flesh out the characters more to make them more three dimensional, but deviating from the book this much irritates me. I read that the actor was one of the people who spoke out vehemently when Darabont was let go. I think that it may have played a part in his demise sooner than later....
Hah.....I just saw Perry's post that touched upon my last sentence...

i really don't mind when it deviates from the book like that. keeps it a tad fresh and keeps you guessing. who knows? if kirkman had to go back and write the comics over again, maybe this is what would have happened. |

The comic book is still better.  The episode wasn't bad, but it would've had a bigger impact, if it played out the way it did in the comics. It's pretty much cut and dry in the book...in the show, it's up in the air on how you interpret the way things went down. |

Even though I liked the episode, I'm dissapointed they didn't go the route of the comic. |
