I've become so desensitized to violence in shows, but that Noah scene had me shook. The only other time I felt like that was after Jessie's girlfriend on Breaking Bad died choking on her own vomit while Walt watched. Those two scenes will stick in my head for a long while. Those were tough to watch.

I really think that the thing that actually makes Noah's scene hard to watch isn't even the violence - it's mostly Glen's reaction to it. Aiden's death was about as gruesome but was just another "guy killed by zombies on zombie show". Interesting that gratuitous violence on TV shows is such that we need to be shown someone feeling horrified to know we're supposed to feel horrified.
