Getting introduced to Ezekiel was nice, however I feel like they may have revealed too much too soon. I think having the characters discover his secrets over time would have been more effective than laying it all out right away.

It's nice to see Morgan starting to move away from his complete pacifism, but there was no character development for Carol this episode. It's just more of her wanting to run away from any sense of community and at this point I say let her.

Going back to my point about the complete change in tone between the premier and this episode, I wish they structured this show more like Game of Thrones where they cover multiple stories per episode. I hate that they feel the need to completely abandon story lines for episodes at a time. Episode 1 is Rick and the majority of the group, episode 2 is Morgan and Carol, episode 3 looks like it'll be completely Daryl, and then by episode 4 we may finally get back to Rick.
