If that's straight from the comics, then that might have been a good time to diverge. At least for me it came off like a bad 80s movie one-liner. Although I guess it does tie in to Rick's willingness to do anything to survive/protect as established earlier in the ep. It just seemed like a tidbit of writing completely detached from the regular writing on the show.
Otherwise I thought most of the episode was fine. The part in Terminus at the very end is the only thing that didn't work for me. Which is kinda big, since that's the last thing they leave you with...
Taken all together I'm in the group that mostly liked the season, because I thought they did some potentially significant character development. As I said, I thought there were a couple of really solid character episodes.
