I was eejm on TWoP, eejm here. I'm not known for my creativity or good memory, I guess. Anyway, I'm glad to be here and am new to the show. Mr. eejm and I have binged watched most of the series over the past couple of weeks.

I'm not sure if the writers have quite figured out what to do with Tyreese. He's obviously a guy who is very attached to his loved ones - his rage over Karen's death made him damn near a lunatic to find who did it, but that rage also made him fight like crazy on the run to the vet college to get meds for Sasha and the others. The Grove was a particularly good Tyreese episode as well, and as tough as he and Carol are after this makes me hopeful for the future of the group already in Terminus. I'm hoping Tyreese will be a real badass next season.

While I can't say it was my favorite series of episodes, I didn't mind the second half of the season. I know "Still" gets a bad rap especially, but I kind of liked seeing characters together who hadn't otherwise interacted much yet on screen. Only Michonne, Rick, and Carl had spent any significant time together before these episodes. Carol and Tyreese, Tara and Glenn, Maggie/Bob/Sasha, and even Daryl and Beth - I thought it was interesting to see how these new pairs and triads got along. The way they all made it to Terminus and were finally together at the end in the boxcar, Rick's speech about screwing with the wrong people, and the hope that Carol, Tyreese and Beth are still unaccounted for makes me excited to see next season.

Although I really have grown fond of nearly all the characters (I was pretty bored with Andrea there, so I wasn't all that bummed when she died), I do have a special place in my heart for Daryl, my favorite crossbow-wielding dirt ball. I liked what Beth said about Daryl being the last man standing after the whole thing was said and done. Man, I hope she proves to be right.

I felt really bad for Jacqui for the simple reason that Dale was literally willing to die before letting Andrea stay at the CDC...and he kind of ignored the fact that Jacqui was doing the same thing. Um, thanks for caring, Dale.
