OK, didn’t see that coming. At least not when the episode
began. Yes, Carol killed the sick folk, and justice (or at least resolution)
had to come. But cutting her loose?
Carol was a well-developed tier 2 character – one that I bet a lot of viewers had something invested in. She hadn’t been fully used by the writers, the way Andrea was. (If you think about it, there was nowhere left for Andrea to go, character-wise. Killing her off made sense.)
And Melissa McBride, who plays Carol, told Entertainment Weekly, “I hope that’s not the last of her, but you know the way this show is … It’s unpredictable.” So she’s ain’t gone for good, in my opinion. Let’s run through some possibilities for Carol’s story ark:
- She meets up with The Governor, and together they plot...
We all have to make them. Sometimes they
are minor (should I go to Target or Walmart for my groceries), but sometimes
they aren't. In the most recent episode of The

wrap up the situation nicely.
“Hugging the
Now” was, at its core, a great little episode about Simon and his daughter both
wanting to feel loved. Unfortunately, it was wrapped in a slew of bad attempts
to come up with a slogan for an erectile dysfunction pill—fourteen attempts, to
be exact. After about ten in a row, Simon tells Zach and Andrew, “Just 'cause
you guys high-five at the end of a bad pitch doesn't make it a
winner.”
