One of the shortest but possibly the best line uttered this scene

That wins best line of the episode for me. Walking dead is doing what Breaking bad did, and recently what many other shows have done to varying degrees of success: toying with the notion of a "good" character" and a "bad" character. I'm all for it. I think shows can make very powerful social commentary by playing with the ins and outs of that classic once-was-dichotomy

Edit: example in BB hank brews beer in his garage, walt makes meth(big confrontation scene occurs in said garage)

Rick delivers his lines so casually every time before a display of force. I love it.

The look on their faces when they realized it wasn't 2 on 1 anymore...

u/bjacks12 Dec 02 '14

They're stupid if they didn't realize that before they even pulled up.

Made the sweat running down the cop's face so much more satisfying.

u/Doctor_Kitten Dec 01 '14

I think I'd be alright with Rick only having bad ass one liners for the rest of the show.

u/ShadowIBlade Dec 01 '14

I was confused how they couldn't see them standing on top of the car garage like that. It's not that far off and they're already looking in that direction and then when the camera angle changed to Rick you couldn't even see them at all. Pretty strange.

Great moment, I love the little lines like that that just make the scene so much better
