Thanks for posting that article. Interesting read.
I thought they handled this jaw-dropping moment very tastefully. We never really did see Mika clearly - she was laying behind her sister. In fact, did we ever see Mika with blood on her? If I recall correctly, all the blood was on Lizzie's hands and knife. And we never did see Carol or Tyreese do the final shot on Mika.
Similarly, we never did see Lizzie get shot. We know it happens, and we see her blanket-wrapped body with a red spot near the head later, but we didn't see a child get shot and killed.
So something that had the potential to go too far was tastefully handled I thought. And I loved the scene. It seemed real to me. My jaw was hanging down as I watched it play out.
