One thing i didn't get was michonnes dream. What happened to the boyfriend and baby. Suicide? Seemed like he wanted to give up and then she snapped inside the zombie herd and not giving up was implied. Or did he just do something stupid to get himself and the kid killed.

I think the last couple of episodes have been pretty 'meh.' This one was significantly better, though. It still feels like they're moving too slowly, but I've just come to accept that that's the pacing the show seems to have taken a liking to.

Look at the flowers Michi. Just look at the flowers.

I've actually liked the last couple episodes, but the first half of tonights was AWFUL. The kid dialogue was unrealistic, and to top that off it was incredibly repetitive. Scene after scene after scene after scene of "this girl is like this" and "that girl is like that". I thought, all this "character development" better add up to some shocking thing in the finale...
and then both the little girls were dead.
Happily, going into the second half of the episode, things picked up. Smoking crisp zombies were fun, as was little dexterette feeding mice to the zombie.

Unfortunately, it fell apart with the "there's no logical way to block this according to the script" of mice and men scene. She'll just uh... walk away and turn around for no reason.

I was confused where Judith was at the end. Did they just throw her in a bag and zip it up? Neither of them was carrying her....

I just chalked it up to "Judith is in a duffel bag".

I'm voting President Carol for the new team leader once everyone meets up.

She was on a backpack like baby carrier. They explained it in Talking Dead.

I honestly dont think that episode was as good or as 'powerful' as it had been made out to be. I didnt really have much attachment to those characters and already kind of knew they would be gone at some point sooner than later. They actually annoyed me, so in a detached way I didnt mind the characters getting killed off/removed from the story. Taking away from the fact they were children etc...

Agreed.

My friends are gushing over how "ballsy" it was, and I thought it was another usual drawn out side story. It was a good episode, but not groundbreaking.

The only thing I liked about it, is that it borrowed an element from the comic book that I think was important to explore, but like the comic, it should have played out far earlier in the show.

The episode itself was fairly boring.
