The entire time I was watching this episode I kept thinking, 'When are they going to address the obvious: Carol had no right to make that decision on her own?' That's what it boiled down to, I think. Not whether or not Carol was right in what she did, but that she had no right to become judge, jury, and executioner, even in an apocalyptic world such as theirs. Rick finally did bring this up toward the end of the episode, but what I find interesting is that in making the decision that he did, he was now doing the same thing as Carol. I can see why he did (just as I can see Carol's reasoning over her actions), but it doesn't make it right.
Maybe, but Carl did worse. He shot a boy who was surrendering his gun to him. And that incident got politely swept under the carpet. No one banished Carl for doing "what he had to do". Karen and David (?) were real threats. Carol had no idea how long they would live before turning but, based on her only experience with Patrick, not long. She thought it was preemptive.

This kid was with the Governors Group though, who was told to kill everyone. He was justified, even though, I didn't like it.
Elsewhere - People are comparing Carol to Shane. I laugh at that. I do like Carol, she will be back as I said...
Yes, and probably the two watches will will come into play at some point, I liked when the talking dead guy said Carol was like a Walter White
The watches; the whole time, I just kept wondering if these were some type of watches I'm unfamiliar with that have life time batteries.

That's mostly my feeling, I didn't agree with him taking it upon himself to banish her without talking with the rest of the group, but then again, it probably would have boiled down to the group shooting Tyrese to protect Carole or Carole getting a beat down or death at Tyrese's hands. But then again maybe The talk with Michonne, rubbed off on Tyrese and he might have been less hot headed. Yeah right on the last part.

I may not feel Carl was exactly justified, but there's a reason the courts prosecute kids differently than they do adults. Carole was an adult, Carl was not different circumstances, no comparison in those circumstances as I see it. Now if Carl at this stage were to take it upon himself and do something like what Carole did, he'd need more harsh punishment. What Carole did was premeditated.
I don't care how one looks at it, Carole nor Rick's actions were justified; neither should have had the last word in the situations. Who do they think they are? The Governor. LOL
And tonight's Talking was awesome! That Jericho guy should be invited back! Such great insight into the show.
Was that wrestler guy really as intelligent and insightful as I thought he was last night? or did he just seem like a rocket scientist in comparison to Marilyn Manson?
I loved the little inside jokes about how terrible Manson was and how it ruined last week's show.
Yeah, the wrestler could be a regular guest if it were up to me!

I think Jericho came across as intelligent as he portrayed. I think he has been the most insightful and interesting guest they've had so far since the inception of Talking Dead. And, as they joked last night, he could sit in Hardwicke's chair.
I thought Jericho would make a good "sidekick" for Hardwicke, but that implies someone lesser than the host, and that wouldn't feel right. But if they were to make him a co-host, I'd be cool with that! I'd certainly look forward to his assessment of each episode every week!
I'm still scratching my head as to which genius thought it would be a good idea to have Marilyn Manson on Talking Dead, "Okay guys, episode3 Talking Dead, who can we get?" "Hey, we can get Marilyn Manson!" "Great! He'll be a great guest, he seems very lively and upbeat! Let's get him!"
Since The Walking Dead is going to have a spinoff show in 2015, it's possible Carol could join those survivors.
Now that Carol is gone, I wonder who will Daryl hook up with? I recall reading an interview where Norman Reedus (the actor who plays Daryl) suggested that Daryl will have a love interest this season. At first I thought it might be Sasha but it could be Michonne.
I'm sick of the TV show version of Rick. He's such an oversensitive idiot who cannot make the tough decisions. He still appears to be in denial of what's happening and continues to happen. Carl does a better job at handling the tougher things going on around them. If this were real life and I had been in Rick's boots while Carol told her reasons for killing the two sick people, I would have sided with her and left it at that. Then I would have told her to never mention it ever again.
As for The Talking Dead, Chris Jericho was a damn good guest.
