The Walking Dead - S3 • E5 Ratings & Reviews

Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
Not a complete story told in one hour of television, but it was still an engrossing hour, because we finally care about what happens to these people.
TV.com
Tim Surette
"Say the Word" was a buildup episode of The Walking Dead that solidified several ongoing plots.
Zap2it.com
Geoff Berkshire
If anything, this hour proves that even the lower-key episodes this season are going to be full of great moments.
IGN Movies
Eric Goldman
It was understandable to have "Say the Word" be more of an aftermath episode, taking a step back after the huge events last week. But it was also pretty jam-packed in its own right, as The Governor revealed just how twisted he was.
Baltimore Sun
Andrew Conrad
In terms of plot development, this episode was not terribly eventful, but it would have been foolish to try to match the bombs dropped in last week's episode anyway, so I'm OK with that.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
Plot-wise, "Say The Word" does have some interesting ideas.
Grantland
Andy Greenwald
I appreciated the disintegration of our once-stalwart leader. Rick is neither human nor walker now; he's a third rail.
Slant Magazine
Ted Pigeon
Within the scope of the show's accepted limitations, the episode is a measured accomplishment. Its vision of human descent into madness, while not terribly original, resounds in small, palpable doses.

I didn't feel nearly as shocked as this show seemed to want me to.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
This was probably the quietest episode of the season so far. It amounted to a deep dive into various characters' psychology - albeit with plenty of zombie-killing along the way.
Slate
Chris Kirk
Between the Governor's daughter, Rick's rampage in the prison, and the fighting sport that the villagers watch, the episode is a study in the psychological maladies of the zombie apocalypse in a season that has focused mostly on the physical.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
The Walking Dead needed to step back and take a breather after the events of last week's "Killer Within" - if for no other reason than to allow the losses suffered by Rick's group a chance to be addressed.
