We have arrived at yet another The Walking Dead mid-season finale, which crashed into the front steps of the church along with Abraham and company.  All of our groups have come back together to bravely face another half season, with one notable exception.  What is the final verdict on season 5A?  How did Carol make her miraculous recovery?  What will Tyrese and Daryl do now that their plan to spare bloodshed has ultimately robbed them of one of their own?  How much further can Rick drift from his farmer days and remain a hero?  When will Tyrese swallow a bag of cement and get hard?  And where do we go from here?  All this and more is pondered, along with a generous helping of feedback and a stout spoiler section. Please enjoy!
