Holy crap! LORI'S DEAD! AND I'M ACTUALLY KIND OF SAD ABOUT IT! Although...I am going to make my prediction right now that we didn't see her die onscreen and that Lori is not, in fact, dead - that Carl shot into the floor or something because he couldn't bring himself to shoot her, and that she'll come back in, like, the finale, all walker-fied with her belly sliced open. Because this show is Evil Like That.
ETA: I just rewatched the episode, and now I'm not sure. Carl is the one who points out that if they don't do something about Lori, she'll come back as a walker. So I don't see why he would volunteer to take care of it, then not shoot her. But I still find it mighty suspicious that we didn't see her death on camera...
Other thoughts:
1. DAMN am I glad I didn't see this before Finn was born. I could not have taken that shit.
2. T-DOG, NOOOOOOO! Although, to be honest, considering how he had, like, 5 lines ALL LAST SEASON, I'm impressed he lived as long as he did.
3. I like the two rogue prisoners. I hope they let them join the group.
4. The actor who plays Rick deserves an Emmy, seriously.
5. Once again, did I mention how flabbergasted I am that I'm sad that Lori died? TEARS! TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE when she was saying goodbye to Carl.
6. No way is Carol dead. I can't believe people are actually worried about that. I also doubt that they'll just have her show back up as a walker, considering that's exactly what happened to her daughter. No, I think they'll find some other horrible fate for Carol.
7. Gods help me, I found myself liking Merle!
