Just caught up on the show. I know everyone is hoping Glenn is still alive, and I am too, but if he's not, I'll move on. There were plenty of other characters I didn't want to see go but still ended up dying.
*I absolutely LOVED that episode with Morgan. It was like a mini-movie thrown into the middle of the series. The theme of that episode is the entire crux of the series for me: Is it possible to maintain any sense of humanity and survive in this world? I think we see definitively that it IS possible, and you will eventually see a conflict between Morgan/Alexandrians and the rest of Rick's group as they go up against the wolves. Might even see some inner conflict within Morgan as he's been on both sides of that fight at times in this story.
To me, episodes like that are worth a thousand episodes of gorey battles with walkers or rival groups. It was brilliant writing excellently executed. I wish all episodes had the kind of patience to go into a theme like that with depth. It's pretty impressive writing when you can become intensely invested in a character within a single episode, but it's even more impressive when you become emotionally invested in a goat.
