Consider this a therapy session for fans, or just discuss.
I thought it was a perfect episode, I don't understand the complaints about dragging out the death reveal, I think it flowed naturally and the way it should have. The deaths made me sad as hell and I'm still mourning but (as a comic reader), I wouldn't have it any other way, I can't see how else Rick would be broken than by what was done to them. The gore was hard to look at but that's what I love about the show, it's the zombie apocalypse, it makes you really think about your mortality and takes you out of your comfort zone.
