Can't really say anything else because I would probably spoil it.
With all the death we have seen in this show, I think this episode handles that aspect in such a refreshing and natural way!
We got very close to tyresse in this episode, as he is confronted with his choices through hallucinations! This also reminded us of all those we have lost!
In this episode.. everything seems meaningless! No hope and no life! It really is about maintaining hope in a world where hope is taken from you!
This was one of the better episodes of the show and deserves the recognition!
OH.. and I just noticed "Wolves" sprayed on the wall..
This is a very bleak yet beautifully made episode with memorable character moments.
I cannot say much about plot details without spoiling except that the writers put the audience through another difficult experience.
It has excellent visual storytelling alongside a strong soundtrack. Both the music, dialogue and radio news broadcasts work very well. This is one of the best edited episodes in the show so far.
Other reviewers have mentioned certain plot contrivances that are valid points when you focus closely on the details of the action depicted. However, in the grand scheme of the messages and themes the writers put across when developing a specific character, for me it does not make much difference. It is the outcome for one individual that matters in this episode and everything that has led to it in so many previous episodes.
Incidentally, for those who enjoy the zombie action, this contains one of the best zombie fight sequences in the show so far. It is a rare instance when movie/tv actually uses slow motion well.
All performances are excellent as always, particularly Chad Coleman and Tyler James Williams.
Time line of the episode , the way it started, the way it ended , and the way events progressed throughout the episode , it all adds up to one hell of a dramatic experience to those who are not after this series for just the action and the visual effects ,
The Walking dead is much more than that ... it is about life and death , it is about surviving , it is about the human nature and how much it is weak in facing such horrors
This episode showed us how feelings can make us so vulnerable , though they are the thing that separate us from "the bad guys"
This episode showed us the self destructive internal struggle , the haunting past
This episode introduced us to what much much more horrors we are going to face in the up coming episodes...
One that showed us how directing is so powerful when it is done the right way
this episode with much simplicity showed us the most obscure fact in our lives , you got to find this out , i rate this episode 9/10
The grief and all the sadness with a beautiful calm take on TWD was really great and the story was perfectly put together. Really great and underrated episode but people just want more action than this I guess.
This episode does not deserve a bad rating. And I really don't get why people say this is bad while this is one of the perfectly put up episodes and no wonder Lincoln also said that this was the best ep.

- Quotes
[last lines]
Father Gabriel Stokes: [Father Gabriel reads from the Bible at Beth's burial] We look at not what can be seen, but we look at what can not be seen. For what can be seen is temporary... but what cannot be seen is eternal. For we know the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hand, eternal in the heavens. In the heavens.
- Crazy creditsDue to the events in the episode, the end credits have no music whatsoever - but there is no silence, either: we hear the sound of shoveling continue right till the end of the credits.
