What made this show great before was that, despite the zombies, it was sort of realistic when it came to the living humans. They were flawed, with human reactions.
Lydia in this episode tells her mother the group is human... errr... we've not been watching the same people here. Last week we had Carol who displayed a level of stupidity that blows your mind, even for a grief stricken person. This week Gabriel suddenly has super powers of truth detection (and is able to keep a straight face while saying it, I know I was laughing it was so cliche) and grown a big pair wanting to torture whisperers and "he talked to God". Daryl first gets a cut to the face (not clear where), can't see for the blood in his eyes, but would he try to wipe his face, would he?! Then he survives a blood squirting cut to an artery in the leg with a small bandage from Lydia and some sleep. Then one after the other, nobody seems able to cut, stab or shoot Beta in any way that could possibly slow him down just a little. Only Judith, a child, seems able to aim properly and that's through a door! I mean, your biggest enemy is in the house, he's killed some of your people, he wants to kill you and you don't stab him in the head the first chance you have?
They all talk the big bad-ass talk but most of them are useless.
And then you have the "Thriller" video of Beta's hand coming out of the grave/tunnel grasping at air and emerging like a supernatural monster to sneak around Alexandria Jason style. Please...
