It's funny seeing the reactions to that episode. Some places have "this was good, that was bad" breakdown. Another board I'm on has overall positive reviews from last night. Then I come here and it exactly as expected - "show sucks, end it".

Personally I'm glad they didn't kill Rick, even though it got a bit hokey that every scene would get a hair away from death only to have him get out of it. I think they learned their lesson from Glenn, once they build a character everyone loves, its off-putting to see that person die a horrible death. And I hope Rick makes his way back to the show after a couple years.

I'm curious where they go from here. It could reinvent the show and get back to being great, or it could end up like The Office without Michael Scott where every episode is just awkward because the supporting characters can't carry the show on their own.
