This episode blew my mind so much so that I need to say a few more things
Rick and Shane showdown
I was glad that Rick figured out that Shane was leading him on a wild goose chase in order to kill Rick. It was incredible to see the realization of the situation come to light on Rick's face. I think that both Andrew Lincoln and Jon Bernthal are amazing actors and the reason their showdown worked so well is because of their acting abilities. This look of this showdown was amazing. The dark skies with the full moon in this empty field. It was a horror movie version of the cowboy shootout at noon. I expected Rick was going to shoot Shane and not stab him in the chest. That felt very much like a scene from a prison movie where one prisoner is shanked by his best friend in the joint just to survive. The big question now is how will this affect Rick. Shane was the loose cannon that threatened the safety, some might say stability, of the group. Did Rick just take a step closer to becoming Shane? Or did he need to do this to protect his family and the group from a threat within their midst? I also found it very appropriate that Carl killed zombie Shane. He kills Shane in the graphic novel so I thought it was great of the writers to have Carl kill Shane in the series. Also, Carl pointed the gun at Rick before zombie Shane got up. So was he going to kill his own father?
