And we are back in the hospital for observation and blood transfusion. I left work after just two hours and I am wondering if I can get back any of the credibility that I have lost with the people that I work with and the people that I work for. I guess that I need to accept that things are never going to be the way they were. Nothing is ever going to be as easy as before and like it or not if I keep beating my head against the wall, it's not going to hurt the wall, it's going to hurt my head. If I could get my husband to accept that as well, we could both be happier.
On a lighter note, but not really, I am again so impressed with the way The Walking Dead is going. I really should research the comic book to see if there is as much philosophical content and/or emotional content in the books as what is in the show this season in particular. I cried when they sacrificed the pigs to the walkers. And the next episode just terrified me. Last night was an emotional rainbow for me. When Caleb told Herschel he could lose everyone in trying to save everyone, and that he would be better off trying to save those that could be saved I thought how do you decide who can be saved. But Herschel carries hope and Herschel lives in faith. And later Herschel stops checking the doors in the cell block to help Sasha and then we have loose walkers and all hell breaks loose. Herschel stretches the truth to explain to Maggie why Glen didn't come to see her. And that comforts both Maggie and Glen and keeps Maggie safe outside the cell block. But Maggie comes roaring back with an ax and a gun when she feels she needs to help those she loves. And we love Maggie as much for her practicality as we do Herschel for his faith. And we really love the Rick/Carl demolition team almost as much as the Rick/Carl farmer team.
In the morning when everyone we really care about is safe (for now) and the sun is shining we see Michon go with Herschel to take bodies away. Rick and Carl eat peas or was it beans. Darryl still doesn't know about Carol being let go. And we see the Governor outside the prison. Pretty scary. But I am just as afraid of Lizzie, who makes me think of Lizzie Bordon and who is just plain weird.
If this show were a book I would keep reading until I couldn't see straight. Or I would peek at the last chapter. But I can't look ahead here. After watching the successful series ending of Breaking Bad, I trust that the Walking Dead writers will be equally successful when the time comes and that they will be consistent and true until that time.
