Despite how little sense it made, I had myself totally convinced that Karen and the other guy offed themselves as part of a suicide pact. I guess the crime scene didn't bear that out.
Carol is becoming one dark lady.
Tyreese finally snaps and it is fun to watch.
Carl's sheriff hat returns, which is cool. Hershel putting Carl in his place when Carl tries to throw his sheriff weight around was cooler.
Carol lied. She's protecting the real killer(s), and I again suspect a child's involvement, especially given the low handprint Rick found. And he knows she lied, which tells him she knows who did it. Is it Carl alone? I don't think he can drag two adult bodies by himself. Maybe Carol helping Carl after it had begun. I also suspect that right before justice can be meted out, the Governor shows up to change their focus.
We've seen three people around gas cans this season: Rick and Carl burning the sty last week and the army medic bringing them to Zach's car this week.
The excursion to the vet college seems designed to disprove two Mythbuster experiments: killing with an ax and running through a walker mob.
Putting Tyreese's sister in the lethal injection room is cold, man.
The sight of thousands of walkers was damn scary.

I guess that was a homage to comic book Tyrese who snapped after his daughter and her boyfriend commited suicide instead of live in the zombie apocalypse world. He went into a room in the prison and killed every zombie with just a hammer. It's kind of hard to feel for Tyrese when they only introduced his girlfriend an episode before she died but his sister being sick too sucks. Isn't the actress in Once Upon A Time? Saw her in commercials but don't watch the show. Zombie apocalypse or not, gotta sell new cars (this week it's a Dodge Charger... the fastest car they got!). Waiting for Daryl to break out a Windows Surface tablet like they always do in Hawaii Five-O and Arrow.

Total agreement, although I suspect the girl who was naming walkers and couldn't finish off her father. I really like the return to one of the original premises of the show, which is that the environment is more dangerous than the walkers; they just make things harder. Now that the crew has shelter, food, and water, they still have to deal with disease. Of course, the imminent walker invasion means that they're most likely going to be abandoning the prison, but I hope that they can keep the focus on basic survival problems for a little while longer.
I don't want it to be the girl because she's sick. She could die off and solve the ethical problem. That's too easy. If Rick discovered it was her and withheld medicine so she died ... well that would turn Carol to the dark side. And I don't know what I feel about that.

I don't have a lot to add this week. I thought it was a pretty great episode. However, no matter how scary the Walker mega-horde was during the episode, they weren't nearly as scary as Marilyn Manson on Talking Dead.
I really enjoy the follow up show. Even if there's rarely any significant revelations, it's a nice way to decompress after the show. But Manson made the whole thing nearly unwatchable.

Glad someone brought this up. Manson's weirdness actually made me turn it off after just 10 minutes.

I think the OH SHIT GOTCHA SUCKER ending is overdone and usually really annoying. But Illusionist was about illusory trickery and deception and so the whole movie was illusory trickery and deception. Under those circumstances I think it's appropriate.
