No *expletive deleted*. Just when you thought the writers couldn't trainwreck your emotions any harder.
They have certainly stepped it up. Here's a nugget of faith in humanity....psych, fooled ya!
Also, it illustrates the difference between network and cable shows anymore. For all that is wrong with TWD, where it counts they step up. Network shows have become too formulaic, too much of the same old *expletive deleted*. With no real risks, no real emotional hook. Just when a network show has you on the hook, it turns campy or the "tragic" turn is so *expletive deleted* predictable.
TWD? Dead baby. Nope, live baby!
Hershel, the grandfather you never had? Nope, headless Hershel!
Psycho little girl rounds the emotional corner? Nope, dead sister!
I had my doubts to the format for the second half of the season. No more.
