Carl makes an interesting point about not wanting to become weak. This is a world where if you let your guard down, you're done. Despite being behind seemingly secure walls, you're still not able to relax. The other kids ask him if he wants to play video games or shoot pool and it's very off putting to him.

I remember back to season 4 when Rick is tending to his garden and he's listening to music with headphones. That's a bold move in a zombie apocalypse, to have such faith in your walls that you don't mind blocking out sound.

I imagine hearing music for the first time in a world like this would bring me to tears. You hear nothing but flesh eating moans and the concern of your friends for months or years, and then you finally get to hear a tune. Totally blissful.

I'd be down for some video games, but I think you'd almost have to force yourself to go out and look for walkers to kill so you don't lose your edge and remember your situation.

Also, I think Carol made the right move by playing possum and lying while she was being filmed, but I don't think Deanna believes her for a second.
