I'm having trouble emotionally connecting with every single one of the characters on the show. Which is sad, because I loved the comic book characters so instantly when I first started reading them, especially Rick, Carl, and Glen. I like the actors playing Rick and Glen, so I'm not sure if it's the writing or what, but I just don't really care about them yet. I thought this past episode had a lot of scary, edge of your seat moments, but besides Shane killing Otis, it kind of felt like nothing happened. However, I did like the scene where Lori asks Rick how it's better if Carl stays alive rather than dies. I'm not crazy about that actress but I thought that scene was great. My best friend and I had literally just had a conversation about whether or not it'd be better to just kill yourself in that situation, so it was interesting to hear them talking about it.
I really hope they sort of steer things back into the direction of the comics, though.
