Who is your favourite character and why?
Carl isn't my favourite, but he's certainly not disliked by me. I mean think about it. He was a little boy when all this happened, he thought his father was dead, he and his mum were on the run from zombies that had taken over the world, he lost his house, his schoolfriends, everything familiar to him.
Was camping with other people, always on guard against walkers, his father turns up again, then people are dying/being attacked by walkers in front of him.
Off they go again, thinking he's found a safe place (the CDC) only to have that blow up to pieces, walkers attack when they are broken down on the side of the road, he loses his best friend (Sophia) who he then witnesses has turned into a walker and is shot in front of him.
He's survived a near fatal shooting, watched his mum die, had to shoot his mum in the head so she wouldn't 'turn', sees countless other people dying in front of him/being attacked by walkers.
Good Lord, that kid has had to grow up in a hurry, in a world that is completely different to what he was in beforehand.
He's changed, he's matured earlier than most kids his age, has learnt to fight alongside other adults, killed his fathers best friend and his father figure (Shane).
If that's not enough to make a kid grow up in a hurry then nothing is. Though at times we do see some of his youth come through, example when he was enjoying that big can of chocolate pudding, and certainly with Michonne he has moments of just being a kid again. (walking while balancing on railway tracks for example)
I like Carl, he's endured a lot and I'd be sad if something happened to him.
My favourite character. That's a tough one.
I like Rick, he's been so strong for all this time, made some bad choices yes, but has had to be a leader despite some opposition.
Carol has come a long way since her days of being an abused wife, scared of her own shadow.
Glen has made me laugh a few times, he's a genuinely nice guy, I like him a lot.
Daryl is a favourite of mine too, I love seeing his softer side when he shows it.
Michonne is amazing, so strong.
My 2 favourite characters are now both dead, Hershel and Dale. I thought a lot of those 2.

Another fun question, up to now, which has been your favourite moment in the show?
Ive got a few, Sophia coming out of the barn, Rick waking up in hospital, Darryl finding Carol in the solitary cell, leaving Jacqie (and almost Andrea) at the CDC.
Like you I liked the part with Rick waking up in hospital and finding the world has all gone pear shaped.
I also liked when they found the CDC and were enjoying good food, hot showers, and feeling safe for the first time in months and months. (sadly it wasn't to last.)
I enjoy the scenes where they are foraging for food, medical supplies etc while having to be on guard against walkers.
I also liked the episode where Carol and the young girls, baby Judith and the guy find that abandoned house in the woods where it all seems so perfect, at least for a short time. Even though it was upsetting towards the end, up until then it was good.
Picking just one scene though, that's tricky. Maybe it's the one with Carl sitting on the roof of the porch of a house and tucking into a huge can of chocolate pudding while the walker is trying to grab at him through the cracked open window of the upstairs bedroom. (the same walker who grabbed Carls shoe off him while trying to bite him).

Oh yeah I loved that bit too, and he wrote something on the door, cant remember exactly what it was but I thought it was great.
I also loved the bit where Carl goes back into the daycare centre to get Judith the crib and Michonne goes with him (and saves his life)
And when Laurie gives birth I couldn't help but think there was no place in the show for a baby, but I now think it works into the script really well.
He wrote on the door: "Walker inside. Got my shoe, didn't get me."
