Fair warning, we're in deep deep denial about Glenn's alleged apparent untimely death this episode, and so we can't help but look at things from that filter. So be warned, there won't be a lot of grieving happening—not until we know for sure. Still, we break things down for you and look at it all through a few different angles. Plus news, and as you can imagine, lots of heartfelt email and calls from you guys. WDC Meetup: Will you be at Walker Stalker Con Atlanta next weekend? Or are you in the Atlanta area?

I usually like to wait to approach WD newcomers for an interview, but Ross Marquand's character Aaron has been interesting right out of the gate, with lots to talk about. And Ross and I covered a lot of it in this episode. We talked about: His thoughts on the fan reaction to Aaron and Eric being gay. How it was to film the scene when Rick punched Aaron. Why Aaron resisted the apple sauce. His friendship with Jordan Woods-Robinson, who plays Eric. And a lot more. Let us know what you think! Don't get cold-cocked....

I can't decide if it's more fun when Karen and I agree or disagree about an episode. This week we've got a lot of both as we talk about "Crossed." Also big thanks to Emily Kinney for joining me for an in-depth and longtime coming interview. We talk about her music, her thoughts on art, acting, and using emotion in your art and life, what it's like to smash a jar of lollipops against a man's head, and her thoughts on some of Beth's biggest moments over her time on TWD.

A little bonus episode for you—a great, in-depth interview with non-scientist Josh McDermitt. We talk about: An interesting new (to me anyway) fact about how the zombie sounds are made for the show. How he gets into character. More about how much Eugene had thought out his "cure" and the cause of the zombie breakout. What it was like to film the emotional scene where Eugene finally admits he's "NOT A SCIENTIST!" His resting bitch face. Whether Karen or I was right about whether Eugene saw that Abraham was about to off himself when they first met. And a bunch more.

It was a genuine privilege for Karen and I to be able to talk with Scott Wilson after his momentous exit from The Walking Dead last week, and he was as sweet and charming as ever. Listen in as he talks about:* What it was like to film his death scene.* What Hershel would say to Maggie and Beth if he had the chance.* What he'll miss most about TWD and whether he'll keep watching.* What he wants to do next.* And a lot more (including, yes, a lot of gushing from us).

Two men important to TWD fell this week in the stunning climax to the half-season. Join us in this extra-long podcast as we go into detail about our thoughts. Lots to talk about re: the comic this week too: In Comic Talk Jaden goes over the many similarities between this ep and the comic, and throws in a few informed predictions. And Gracie Lou and Mr. Blahg go Under the Comic Covers to give you their review of issue #117, released last week. All that and a ton of great email and calls from you guys, many of whom wrote in for the first time. Thanks all, we appreciate each and every one of you.

I've been enjoying Chad Coleman's measured portrayal of Tyreese, this multi-faceted character who with his hammer and his wool cap seemed to have burst straight out of the pages of the comic this season, especially once he became activated by Karen's death. It was a pleasure to speak with Chad as he thoughtfully answered everything we wanted to know. Join me and special guest Brittany as we find out things like:* What Tyreese would've done if he had found out Carol killed Karen before she left the prison (his answer might surprise you—it did me).* What it was like to film that crazy scene by the road where Tyreese hammers his way through a massive crowd of zeds.* How Chad sees the relationship between Tyreese and Rick.* What was going on in the S3 finale when Tyreese abruptly left the room seeming like he had a purpose.* How working on TWD compares to his time on the acclaimed HBO show The Wire.* And much more!
