A lot of the episode made little sense as to what they were driving at until I turned it off and pondered it. For that I give it credit, trying to express something deeper than hack and slash. Did they totally hit the mark, not really, but I respect them trying to make the show more about he group and how they aren't all cut out to survive. The toll of living has killed them slowly and now it doesn't matter who kills anymore just that it gets done.

I really liked it.
Wouldn't want every episode to be like that, but it looks like they are sandwhiching it between two more action orientated episodes.
This episode really drove home how many different things kill you in a situation like the WD universe. Tyrese just flat out gave up. Like you're saying, he decided he didn't want any part of the world. Him losing himself in the pictures while he knew there was a zombie in a nearby room and then lying lifelessly as the infection took over and even after his arm was cut off was really powerful.
Really like the use of the recently dead people around. That was really well done and difficult to do without being totally cheezy.
