I very much felt that if I was a parent I wouldn't want either of my children in those roles (judith or lizzie), very dark stuff, I had to cover my eyes. So in the drama sense it worked but jebus I wouldn't put my child through that.

Have you seen Bruno? There's a scene where he's asking the parents what they can do with the child and the parents are pretty much willing to put their child through anything.

Starts at 0.50

Just for peoples peace of mind, as if it was in any doubt;

The Walking Dead: Baby Judith Has Her Own Stunt Doll
By: Joe Comicbook on February 17, 2014

On social media, many viewers have noted how Judith often looks a little different from episode to episode. There is a reason for this. Judith has been played by five different sets of twin girls on the show. It’s actually quite common for twins to be used in TV and movie shoots involving child actors, because there are regulations involving how long a child actor can be on set. Twins can allow for more filming time.

However, Judith isn’t always played by a twin girl, as sometimes a doll is used instead. With The Walking Dead in particular, there is a lot of stunt work that could prove dangerous for a child actor. In the case of Chandler Riggs, a 31 year old woman actually serves as his stunt double for the more intense scenes. And since there’s not going to be an adult human the size of baby Judith, The Walking Dead crew has to use a stunt doll for Judith’s more intense scenes.

The stunt doll was used for the scene and CGI used to impose the real babies face.

Sweet tiny baby jebus! That's more scary than the Judith scene!

Its all getting a bit "won't somebody think of the children!" in here.

I would be absolutely flabbergasted if they actually suffocated the "real" Judith. I just watched it back and the occasions where her hand was actually covering her mouth were only for literally 2-3 seconds at a time.

Also, if there really was a zombie apocalypse a crying baby would be a massive liability. I think its good of the show to depict how if desperate enough someone could be tempted to remove that liability. I don't think they were doing it purely for shock vaue. Heck, before she did it I was thinking in my head "You need to find a way to shut that child up".

I know we've established there's a doll now, but even so it'd be quite easy to shoot. You could cup the hand around her while keeping your palm an inch or so above her mouth, then muffle the sound of crying in post. Not to mention the fact that, as pointed out, the face shot only lasted a couple of seconds at a time.

Former pro-wrestler (with a bit of experience in this field too) speaking here. It's not difficult to fake this stuff convincingly, especially with the benefit of being able to manipulate it all in the edit.

Boring episode to accompany the previous boring episode. IMO the walking dead simply cannot pull off sincere and believable emotion.

The episode only started to get kinda good near the end. Cannot believe people are rating this episode so high.

The 2 post mid season finale episodes have been terrible. Now that the Govenor's gone I just don't care what happens to the rest. I mean the next couple of episodes aren't going to be they've found a new camp & the people who run it are "shady". The writers have lost sight of the fact that this is a Zombie series & ah it would actually be nice to be give at least a small hint of what the cause of the virus outbreak is!

How much time has elapsed in these last two episodes? Because Glenn could barely move in Ep 8, and now all of a sudden he could play offense for the Giants.

Awarding this episode 10/10 is actually quite insulting to an episode like "Clear" which was everything that is good about this show. And frankly that baby scene should immediately knock a few points off any rating. Not only was it horrendously awful to watch, it was there purely to flag up in capital flashing letters "LIZZY IS A FRUITLOOP". Sorry i must have been too slow from the last 8 episodes to get that vibe, i'll try keep up in future.

6/10.

I don't really like the immediate reaction people have to anything shocking, morally ambiguous or whatever, that "there's no need for it" or that it's a story trying too hard to make something obvious (in this case Lizzie being off her tits).

She's a lunatic. She's going to do loony things.
In a show where people are routinely eaten the threat of baby suffocation is pretty much par for the course.

I thought that was an absolutely perfect scene because, although TWD hasn't shown the scale of balls required to do such a thing yet, to save Judith and have her killed by one of the living straight after would've been an incredible gut punch and it lent a real sense of suspense and fear to the moment.

That was dead ****ing stupid.

It was the only thing that really annoyed me in the episode.

We've routinely seen people swarmed and torn apart by the dead in this show and jumping into a pile of a dozen of them looked very much like suicide, but little did we know that the riot gear was also a powered exoskeleton.

That was a lot more tense than any of the scenes the previous week with Carl and Rick. Carl walking backwards with the walkers was totally predictable and when Rick was moaning, I did not think for one second he had turned into a walker. With Izzy and Judith though, it really was a hold your breath moment as you didn't know how far she would go.
