I thought I had written and posted a longish reply, but now I don't see it. Damn! I hate when that happens.
Anyway, Chuck, I think you make a good point about Judith's importance to Rick's character.
And yeah, I had forgotten about Lizzie, so they've already crossed the kid-killing line. And weren't there some kids among the sick people Carol killed in the prison? But Lizzie was crazy and the others were sick, so all potentially dangerous, whereas at this point Judith is flawless and completely innocent -- I think that would be a tougher line to cross.
The other thing I remember writing was that I think they're keeping Carol alive, as opposed to the comic, because they need more badass women on the show. Michonne obviously qualifies. But Maggie, who originally had potential, is too all about Glenn these days. And of course Laurie (was that her name? the one who got involved with the Governor?) who was tough but lacked good judgement, is no longer around.

You're very right about Maggie. She was really becoming a strong woman, but once she and Glenn were married, she became all about him.
The character who fell for the Governor was Andrea.
I think the writers may be stuck. If you have a full cast of badasses, it will get boring, however, in a zombie apocalypse, you either become a badass, or become lunch.
CellarDweller:
Already looking forward to this episode......now that everyone (except Beth) is together again, will they all find out about each other? Carl's near rape? Carol killing Lizzie?
CellarDweller:
Ok, Father Gabriel has shown up. I don't know much about this person, as I don't read the comic series. The way he's being played, I really don't trust him.
I don't get the whole Carol out in the woods thing at night. Hello? ? ? Most dangerous time. I love that she's become a badass, but I don't want to see her become reckless.
I had an idea we wouldn't see the last of the terminus crew, but I didn't expect that. Ugh!
OH, and I don't for a minute believe that Eugene character knows how to stop this zombie outbreak.
serious crayons:
Gross.
Or, as Chris Hardwick put it in the TD teaser, "Well, that was vile."

I don't really trust him, either. But does he know anything at all? Why does the other guy trust him so much? Would he just get to Washington and say, "Sorry, guys, I was faking it"?

That's right, thanks. I also heard Michonne mention her tonight.
