I thought it was a fantastic episode that successfully added an emotional depth to the show to take this up a few more notches over other shows like TWD, FTWD, etc. The first episode was great, last week's felt pretty "paint by zombie numbers", while still being a good episode, but this week gave Joel purpose(if you will) and humanized everyone a little more. I'd gladly watch more of Bill & Frank if the showrunners wanted to give it to us, they were great and my heart broke for them.

Was this the greatest episode of TV ever produced? No. Is it the greatest episode of TV from the last year? Possibly not even that, but maybe? There are obviously details of this episode that have the propaganda arms of the press screaming its praises from the rooftops disingenuously, but that should not detract from how good of an episode it really was. I'm not going out and scheduling an emergency talk session with my therapist over it due to loving it so much (as one friend on FB randomly gloated Sunday night), but I'm definitely going to be watching it again before next episode simply because I enjoyed it so much.
