I think Bob (guy from The Wire) got the baby. They made a point of him being shot, but it went through so he was ok, would explain the blood in the baby carrier.
Show is alright a bit bloated in places. Which is a stark contrast to the comics, stuff happens at a million miles an hour in those.
I find it hard to emote to any of the characters because they are likely to die. I liked Hershel though

Frank Darabont is suing AMC for unpaid royalties due to early contract termination and changes to royalty calculations.

This wouldn't be shocking given the track record of the media industry and their always fair treatment of content creators. I know he didn't create the source material but he's the architect of the entire show.

Also not shocking how much Amc tried to cut costs on TwD while sucking every shriveled cock at sony for licenses. Fuck Amc. That channel has nothing to offer anymore. Nothing.

Ditto on Taiso's points about the Governor's new daughter's death and the pacing of the episode.
Another scene that had us muttering was the final assault on the prison. In the comic it was completely believable that after two different unsuccessful attacks the Governor would finally comandeer the tank and break through the perimeter, thus also destroying the same fences that help make the prison a safe location. He did not show any such exasperation in the show, pretty much immediately choosing to demolish the fencing and blow up the same building he desperately wants.
Because it makes perfect sense to blast holes in the building walls instead of aiming the tank's cannon at the cars where Rick's group is hiding.
Now Frank Darabont is suing AMC for lost profits.

I can only imagine how strong the show would have been with him at the helm.

I watched this last episode by fast forwarding through almost the entire episode for two reasons.
1. The commercials. I am pretty sure this episode had more commercials than content.
2. I missed none of the content, and I still see what happens.

Great summary and echo's my current feels towards the show.
That said, I'm pretty bummed that...

This was how I felt about the episode too.
I am not even a Tyrese fan, but I thought the episode was poorly placed and it should have been saved for later in the season or the series.

Yeah and no...I still feel it is symbolic of the shedding of their human side. One piece at a time, any scrap of humanity is dying...in every element. he was a remaining piece of that...
*EDIT*
To add to that...I believe he no longer had a place.
In this "world", any compassion, or any actions based on the thought that people can be civil blows up in their faces...every time.
He had cost the group quite a few times with his unwillingness to adapt to this new world...read below:

Here we go...I have a feeling the entire direction of the show is about to change.
As for this new town...I 100% feel this is not sinister...they are prey. They need Rick and co to save them because they are bunch of softies that cannot defend themselves. If Captain ROTC is they best they've got...they are definitely in trouble...
I also think that the young girl is a mole for some stronger group...she's up to no good. I'd wager that this "other group" is who took Rick's Glock and planted that walker to wait for him. This seems to be the same group that raided the last stronghold...and they seem to use walkers as weapons.
I have a strong feeling this is going to become "rick'ville"...
If this show is to continue, they're going to have to settle down for a bit...and I feel this is the place. I bet that from this point on, warring factions, invasions and politics start becoming a big part of the show.

Nope...not at all.
*EDIT*
I gotta add, Carol is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters. She is one determined, driven woman...and this "domestic" move on her part is awesome.
I also love the concept of not being able to take the wild back out of the man. When Rick and Carl killed those walkers near the end of the show...they were doing it for sport and enjoyment, there was a definite look of satisfaction on their faces.

Too bad they are in the south.
A V plow would come in handy.

Loved the most recent episode.
It's very faithful to the comic and I can't wait to see how it develops. The leader of Alexandria; Deanna is a great character, she's a no-shit business woman and I can see her bringing out the good and bad in a lot of characters.
Rick is still looking out for the group though as number 1. - "If they can't make it, we'll take this place." He's not going to get soft.
And what about the hubby of the chick who cut Rick's hair, those two are going to punch on for sure!

When I tell people that the Governor was my favourite character, they are surprised because they think he is a monster, but it seems like Rick is becoming more and more like the Governor, but he is still perceived as a good guy somehow. I was disappointed when Ty was killed off as he seemed like the only likeable character left IMO.
