    Gotta say, Glenn was pretty badass tonight.

    Also, was it just me, or did Andrea seem like she was playing the Gov'na at the end there just a little bit?

    Also, also, JUDITH...?!?!...

    Glenn kick *kitten* for sure. Poor maggie i was hoping he didn't rape her omg. Aw everybody was happy to see carol. Judith ew come on lil *kitten* kicker was bad enough they should of said sophia. Michone had a stank attitude tonight it ain't like rick as her to come to the prison and yes michone they clear it all by themselves. Next week is going to be on like popcorn .And one more thing how you a research guy experimenting and you haven't been around a person who turn into a walker sound kind of stupid to me don't you think?

    I find this a little unreal as well... seems they would have all seen someone change at some point.

    Glad that Carol is back and holding the baby. Little surprised they threw the guy in the cabin into the Walker mob, I would think they would keep any survivors alive to fight with all the stuff going on.

    yes michonne annoyed me when she said that she didnt ask for rick's help. i guess she would have rather have been eaten as she lay passed out in the yard?

    i thought the researcher's knowing that all dead people turned but not having seen it himself was a little odd. is it possible he was lying?or maybe he's heard it from other people? whatever it is, it seems like he doesn't have much first hand experience with walkers. remember a few episodes ago when he went out collecting and didnt know what to do with himself.

    the cabin guy was crazy.. he was about to open the door to let in the walkers. he needed to die.


    i'm wondering what the governor is going to do once he realizes merle lied to him about michonne.

    Pretty good episode tonight. I loved that Michonne took charge and took care of crazy hermit guy. Although poor dude, he's just out in the woods minding his own business when someone just comes barging into his house.

    Andrea is pretty stupid.... I mean you kinda have to wonder what kind of man could keep a dude like Merle in check..?

    Also, I don't think they should have left Axl (white prisoner, I think that's his name) behind. He's either going to try something on Maggie's sister or be the one to let the Gov scouts in the prison..



  • i'm wondering what the governor is going to do once he realizes merle lied to him about michonne.


    OMG! I totally forgot about that! Oh yeah, Merle's gonna get it, from either the Governor or the prison group!

    my guess now is merle sees governor about to kill daryl and he sacrifices himself to kill the governor and save daryl.

    Overall, not the best episode of the season, but it was probably necessary to set up the mid-season finale.

    I had the samet thought about the scientist not seeing anyone reanimate yet. Seems like you'd have seen it by now.

    Judith is taken directly from the comic. I'm sure it has some significant meaning.

    I actually liked the interaction between Michone and Rick. I mean he doesn't know she's a supreme bad *kitten* that kept Andrea alive the entire winter. And she doesn't know that Rick isn't just another Governor. I don't blame either one of them for being leery of the other.

    I'm surprised that they didn't leave someone stronger at the with the group at the prison. They are completely open and vulnerable to attack. Carl has become quite the little bad *kitten* but he isn't capable of guarding that prison and his own. Herschel and his younger daughter can't be that much help. Carol might be but she will be too preoccupied with the baby. In my opinion Axel is too much of a wild card still. We don't know if he is trust worthy or not.

    I couldn't figure out if that guy in the cabin was just a crazy recluse that had no idea what was going on or if he was just plain crazy. They do seem to be much more liberal with killing people that are a threat to them. I guess it's just a contrast between this season and last season.

    The Daryl/Merle showdown in inevitable. I think that at some point or another Merle is going to fall on the sword and save Daryl somehow. We'll see if it comes as early as the mid season finale or if they are going to drag it out a little bit longer.

    What makes you think that? I don't remember exactly how the episode ended....

    I'm wondering about the preview to the next episode- where Carl says leave her- wondering who that was - Michonne?!

    I think the Merle/Daryl plot will be a good one, just hoping that Merle is the sacrifice, and NOT Daryl. Daryl, is so awesome. Had to replay that scene with him and Carol before he left, to hear what Carol said- 9 lives...

    hermit dude with cabin fever - thought that the stench was a walker.. can't wait for the showdown with the prison/Woodbury.

    She went to his room after the Dr. Frankenstein bit, and when he asked her how everything went, she just poured a drink and became all sad-like, so he hugged her. When they zoomed in on her face it just had a look to me. Probably my imagination, haha, but I'm hoping Andrea is going to change...

    Ok I remember that part now. I think I saw it more as her seeking a comfort that she hadn't had in a long time. I also wonder if she thinks that she's just going to settle into a happy, normal relationship with the Governor now. She did seem to be making herself at home there.

    This might have been my favorite episode of TWD yet!
    my favorite part was when the walkers were feasting on hermit man and it went straight to a KFC commercial talking about when Fresh really matters! LOL!
    that scene with Glenn and the walker was the best ever!!!

    I hope Michonne got a little bit chattier with the group on the car ride, and maybe mentioned that Andrea and Merle were at the compound.

    I have to imagine that Andrea already told her all about the group she was with, so she'd know they knew each other.

    Also... I'm terribly torn between wanting to read the comics so I know what's going to happen, and being so glad I don't read them because it's all a surprise to me and I'll be clueless to any changes in the story arc.

    I read all the Sookie Stackhouse books, and while I like the True Blood show, it's so different that it annoys the piss out of me.

    The comics are AWESOME, but they change things up so much in the tv series so that readers Don't really know what's going to happen.

    I so agree about merle, and I also want the govenor out of the picture! He's so weird!!!
  • Just about everybody has a reason to off Merle! Glenn, Maggie, Michonne, have obvious reasons, but how pissed off will the Governor be when he finds out Merle lied about killing Michonne? LOL Maybe he'll be the one to off him!
  • Also, how many guys does Woodbury have to protect them? Those two guys were killed by Michonne and the Gov sent some out to scout the prison. Everyone else in there seems pretty helpless (even the Olympic hopeful! :laugh: )

    I'm going to go for the longshot and say Andrea offs the Gov after finding out the truth. She's got her flaws, but she's not going to stand by someone who tortured her friends.

    Just finding out about his zombie daughter would be enough to tip the scales against him.

    I was thinking the say thing!! When they asked her who shot her all she had to say was that it was a guy with one hand and they probably could have figured out it was Merle! But then again she didn't even want to tell them her name.

    Michonne's character seems to me the type that needs to keep an Ace up her sleeve- information isn't forthcoming, because it can potentially put you in danger...although, with holding information can also have consequences- Carl being responsible for Dale's death IMO.

    at this point the people that haven't turned can be just as (or more) dangerous as the Walkers are.

    i dont know. i couldnt blame a guy for keeping his zombie daughter alive hoping that he could find a cure. and andrea has seen that behavior before on the farm so it shouldnt be surprising to her.

    a lot of the survivors are half mental it seems- they all have issues.... is anyone else creeped out by the town? I mean the whole bike riding, and strolling around like it's Wysteria lane?? it just seems really vulnerable to me... I dunno.

    yep. they brought this up on TD. the governor made sure to kill all people who know how to protect themselves except for a few people like merle. rick's team probably wont have too hard a time getting in, especially since the governor sent his A team out to the prison
