--In an episode soon, Herschel won't have the time to wheel the dead out of view before he stabs them.
--How could Herschel possibly have gone this long without killing a single walker?
--What's up with Lizzie playing footsie in zombie blood?
--Carl's no longer whiny and annoying like he was last year. Harsh, I know.
--You knew the fence would go soon.
--Hopefully Rick and Carl repaired the fence before they burned the bodies and picked peas.
--You knew the Governor would turn up soon, and that he'd been watching.
--I'll bet the Governor's talking to Carol when he says in next week's promo: "Don't you want to get back at him for what he did to you?" Or something very close to that.
--Herschel has turned into one tough old dude.
--Quite the father/son and father/daughter bonding moments in this episode. There's nothing that brings a family together more than annihilating large numbers of zombies together.
--Chris Hardwicke talked much faster than usual on the recent Talking Dead. So fast that I couldn't tell what he was saying at times. And that's me saying this.
--Josh, a guest on Talking Dead, asked an awesome question: Could Bob be a spy from the Governor? I never would've thought of that.
--I've got to look up that Steinbeck quotation.
--I don't blame Rick for putting off talking to Darryl.
--I love the Tom Sawyer and Steinbeck allusions.
--"A sad soul can kill quicker than a germ." I'm going to guess that was from East of Eden, or maybe Of Mice and Men. But I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't, too, because I know those two pretty well, and I don't remember that quote in either one.
--Herschel has lately been the optimist that Rick used to be.
--Scott Wilson, who plays Herschel, said in an interview that ibuprofen got him through filming this episode. Lately, ibuprofen's been swelling up my cheeks and sinuses to a painful extent. It hurts now more than it helps.
--Okay. According to Goodreads, the quote is actually:
“A sad soul can kill you quicker, far quicker, than a germ.”
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America
