Clear

FINALLY. This episode was awesome. I watched this one a little late but I was sure to steer clear of facebook, twitter, and all of my friends who watch TWD. 
The only post that leaked a little info that I read on facebook was "Skateboards and mice... You're a genius Michonne." I was obviously quite confused as to what this meant so after seeing that I hurried to watch the episode. Like the TV Equals writer, Gelineau, wrote this episode was definitely better than the first eight of the season and, in my own opinion, had much redeeming value. We finally got to see the man from season one again, which was awesome. I spent all of season one and part of season two wondering when we would get to see him again, and I eventually gave up on that thought. It was a bold move to bring him back so late into the course of the show, and also sad to see him only be featured in this one episode, but the closure was good. 
Gelineau also talks about how this was a "bottle episode" we only saw four characters the whole episode, no jail, and no Woodberry. None of that was disappointing. It was a very refreshing episode because we got a break from the characters that we wanted to reach inside the screen and kill ourselves and we were satisfied with the amount of action that had been lacking in previous episodes.
