Why didn't she kill herself? Maybe that's not part of her delusion. She doesn't want to be different, she just wants to be herself. Also, she is probably still aware enough to not want to inflict pain on herself.

Yeah, I think that's what the writers were going for in the scene where Mika helps Lizzie calm down by counting flowers. That seemed like a leftover from their life before (as in - Mika would not have come up with that on her own).

umm, she was about to let the walker that was stuck in the tracks bite her arm remember? Mika pulled her away.

Looking forward to seeing this show's sequel set in another part of the country

A couple of points. I didn't think the child actor did a very good job as Lizzie, the storyline might have been better received with a stronger performance. She was cast because she was a cute kid, nothing more. Which is a problem often on TWD, they seem to go for a certain look with each character and pick actors more for cosmetic reasons than anything else.

I'm not. What's new? Join together, fight, meet crazy people, break up, join together, fight, meet crazy people...

:thumbsup: that was a fantastic episode IMO.

Some of Melissa McBride's best work on the series. Her confession to Tyreese really capped off the emotional aspect of this episode. Carol had to make a really tough and devastating choice.

Scott Gimple had some balls killing off two children in one episode. I think he should get some credit for that. I think most TV show runners would look at it as a taboo to have that happen on TV.

I 100% disagree. Just because they weren't around long, doesn't mean it wasn't an impactful moment when a woman has to gun down a child in cold blood because she was a killer and they don't have any way to handle her in this world. Even if we had just met the kids, it would have been something. We knew Lizzy was the one feeding the walkers, we knew she had weird views about them and this was the episode where it all came to a head due to the "perfect circumstances". I thought they did a great job of setting up something that they hadn't had to deal with before and doing it in a heartbreaking and tragic way.

It was easily the best episode of the season and one of the best of the whole series.

It makes a certain kind of sense that zombies wouldn't avoid fire. They don't show any kind of self-preservation instincts, the only thing they do is feed. They will be drawn to the light and motion of the fire, and some will burn up and some won't.

Keeping bonfires going might be an interesting way to divert and destroy zombies.

She doesn't give a shit about that place anymore. Felt like a "let it burn" moment from her too. Nothing but bad memories.

Everyone knows this is a TV show and not a manual on how to survive a zombie apocalypse, right?

Speak for yourself. I anxiously await with glee the day that Carl eats a bullet.

Unlikely to happen, as Kirkman has pretty much said the Walking Dead is primarily Carl and Rick's story.

However if you read the comics...
