When I was 12 years old, the Homecoming Queen in our small town in Pennsylvania was killed in a drunk driving accident. A few months later, her older brother shot the driver of the car that killed her point blank in the head four times. But did he really do it? Was he covering for his brother? Or his father? Now, 30 years later, this story still haunts our small town and is a topic that is still discussed at holiday dinners and when driving by the murder site. The brother was convicted of third degree murder and sentenced to 20 years, of which, he only served 10 for good behavior.

Anyone else feeling gutted? (Don't chuckle, don't reward that.) Yes, THE WALKING DEAD sure wasn't going to leave us hanging without a few more deaths, God forbid, but at least they left us with some hope too. How are we at mid-season already?

Okay, so look, there are so many people who complain that this show is inferior to its predecessor, but I'm sorry people, this is what is known in the biz as an “epic finale.” I'm honestly not sure I blinked the entire time.

In the preview for the episode, they stated “A Lyon Will Fall” and I guess they were being literal. But, alas, we know not which one. Hakeem's wedding was anything but a celebration as Season Two comes to a close.

I'm guessing when the writers created this episode, they didn't realize just how prophetic it would be… or did they? It's getting creepy real in fiction, even if it isn't as creepy as reality.
