CM Punk and Yvette Nicole Brown on The Walking Dead: Part 2

Tonight's guest stars on The Talking Dead were  WWE Wrestler CM Punk and actress Yvette Nicole Brown of Community.

It was a very vocal episode, with both Punk and Yvette being very out spoken with their views on tonight's episode.  It was nice to finally see an episode where the guests are vying for camera time, both anxious to express their opinions on the series.  As much as I appreciate the inside insight that actual cast members can bring to the table, they are usually under a pretty strict gag order.

CM Punk was very well spoken, and had some crazy views, like stating that Merle was justified turning a walker loose on a restrained Glen as part of the interrogation process.  I suppose I can see what he was saying, but nobody messes with Glen!  That character proved he is totally bad ass tonight, both by refusing to cave to Merle's brutal interrogation, and then by taking out the walker while still secured to a chair.

Yvette Nicole Brown was also very well spoken, and she had some pretty great insight.  I loved the fact that when asked which Community character would be best suited to survive the Zombie Apocalypse, she had to consider before jumping on the band wagon to answer Ahbed. 
I also appreciated Yvette's view of Carl as an up and coming Alpha in training.  Carl is definitely maturing into a force to be reckoned with.  And he is making way better choices these days.

The background featurette that focused on how the film crew achieve the various zombie decapitations was also pretty cool to see.

OMG!  The special preview of next weeks season finale was incredible!   Michone meets Penny!  I agree with both CM Punk and Yvette, that Michone would have no problem decapitating a child should it come to that!

This episode was one of the best this season.  Great guests, great content.  A lot of solid fun!
