I think this has been the best season thus far, almost perfection.
The Beth episode was pretty boring, but everything that came before it was awesome. The last two episodes have had that perfect balance between character driven moments and enough action/intensity to keep the pacing high.
As was said in the Talking Dead: Every time something bad happens to part of the group or somewhere else in the story and the reaction is "we better go get Rick," I get excited. His progression into a morally ambiguous badass started in the mid-season finale of season 2, where he walked out (dressed in all black) and shot the little zombie girl in the face. Since then, it's been slow at times, with a bit of struggle, but it's come together really nicely. I'm even enjoying Carl now, who was hard to deal with over the last two seasons.
