4. Carol Is Such A Bad*ss
Has there ever been a character who has undergone such an extreme evolution throughout the course of a series more so than Carol Peletier? She began the show as the battered, silent housewife, subservient to her drunken ogre of a husband with nary a line or shred of importance to the overall story. As The Walking Dead progressed, she became an almost denmother-esque figure, finding strength and resolve in the loss of her daughter, Sophia, and taking responsibility for the safety of the others in the group, even if it means gunning down pre-teen girls to do so. And now shes Rambo. Seriously, Carol was so mind-blowingly gangster in this episode. She captures a Terminus resident at gunpoint, interrogates him and then sets off on a one-woman rescue mission against impossible odds to free her friends, one of whom was the man who excommunicated her in the first place. She coats herself in human carcass to blend in with the walkers, blows up a propane tank with a sniper rifle and a f*ckin bottle rocket, and walks right into Terminus headshotting tangos like its nothing. NOTHING. Did we mention that she kneecapped an elderly lady with a high-powered rifle and then let zombies devour her while she screamed deafening cries of torment and agony? By the way, Daryl, heres your crossbow back. Like a boss.
