So how about this was the first on screen child killing we've had? We've seen a half dozen or so dead kids, we've had three of "ours" die off screen, but this is the first time they actually went for it.
I'll be honest, it was actually harder for me to watch than adult deaths cause by walkers, and probably one of the most emotional reactions I've had to the show. It was hard to watch a kid get eaten, but even harder to watch a mother watch her kid get eaten.
I know there is worse to come, much worse by far, but after Rick's little soliloquy tobCarl at the end of the episode I can't help but feel a little hopeful.
I know, I know, I'm about to be crushed.
