This episode is a turning point for The Walking Dead. No more prison. No more Governor. And of course, no more Hershel :( It’s such a sad one, but it’s also one of the most highly rated episodes. We’re particularly glad they gave Hershel a good one to go out on. Join Jason and Veronica (filling in for Lucy who’s not feeling well) to talk it out! Next up: TWD S4E9 “After”.

Is this the first TWD episode that many (most?) fans generally don’t like much? As such, it was really fun to re-examine it, and we’re happy to be joined by Nathan Eshelman, who’s a fan of the episode and especially of Tara.

The sickness spreads this week, and people like Hershel, Beth, Tyreese, and Carl are stepping up to meet the moment like the heroes they are.

We’re back in the dystopian world of Silo, where ten thousand people live in a giant silo hundreds of stories deep underground, in society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them.

As often has happened in this rewatch, Lucy and I both came to this episode with a new perspective: I think I liked it more than the first time and Lucy less though :) Hope you enjoy our talk.

Hey, anyone need some cheering up, by any chance? You’ve come to the right place. First off, Karen and Wendy are on this one, so that’s probably enough said. But also, the three of us talk about a bunch of different ways we cheer ourselves up when we’re feeling down. And then we chat about the hilarious 2014 vampire roommate mockumentary, What We do in the Shadows, which puts a smile on all our faces and I think it will yours too.

And there it is, we’ve come to the end of another season of the Daryl show, now with more Carol.
