Wow, pretty drastic change then. Glad I didn't read the comics so I can enjoy the TV series on its own merits.

Good episode this week. I like that they are finally tying the two stories together, even if it meant making the chinaman look inept and ineffectual. Also it's kind of weird how small a world they live in that they two groups would encounter each other this close together.
I don't like how much time is spent on the Governor trying to hook up with Andrea. I hope she gets zombified soon and good riddance.

Yeah I can't wait for Andrea to die. I hope she continues her affair until she meets back up with the group and stays on Governor's side until Rick buries an ax so deep in her skull they have to bury her with it.
Her actor portraying her is just not on the same standard as the others in this show. Even her scenes alongside the Governor feel so imbalanced in absolutely not her favor. Cant wait till she's gone... most likely will be toward the end of the season.
Can't wait to see the reunion of Daryl and Merle. going to be very interesting to see what happens there :P

I think the governor is a poon-hound. Now that he has Maggie, he might throw Andrea to the biters.
edit: I don't know why, but reading you put it that way about Andrea makes me a little ashamed at me wanting her dead too. She really is obnoxious and needs to be put in her place, but should we wish death on her? I know its a tv character that we hate, but when we talk about wanting her killed, does that say something bad about us?

This was a pretty big build-up ep, but the next episode looks like it's going to be fucking awesome!
Next ep is also the mid-season finale apparently :/

This latest episode was intense! Lots of action and setup for the next big episode.
I can't help hating on Glenn and Maggie... two guns aimed at Merle and somehow they're now in the predicament they are in. How bad do you have to suck to fail that hard? I was fully expecting the governor to do something terrible to Maggie. Luckily it was just a mind game.
It sucks that it's the mid-season finale, but supposedly the show will return in February.

Awesome episode, lots of action and story progression, and an exciting setup for when the show resumes in Feb.
Some gripes but they are minor, like how a badass like Daryl gets caught. Maybe he wanted to be caught so he could see Merle, but it was necessary for the setup at the end anyway.
I think it's funny, once again they kill off a big black dude, only to replace him with another big black dude... Tyrese.

Next episode airs on February 10, 2013... man i hate when they cut seasons in half like this :/

You need to increase your spannungsbogen, young grasshoppa.

Tyresse!!!!! <3 I take back anything bad i ever said from the t.v series.

Ha, what if they treat the character like another T-dog?

:O, they can`t!!

Man they must have binders full of big black guys over at AMC. T-dog out... prisoner guy in. Prisoner guy out..... Tyrese in.
Looks like judging from the preview for 3 months from now Darryl is getting saved by some smoke grenades. I was 90% sure he wasn't gonna get the ax just based on the sheer amount of popularity his character has gained. People like him more than Rick and I'm one of them.
What I'm wondering is what the fate of Merle will be.... will he escape along with Darryl?? We can all assume that Darryl would want his brother to come with them, but could we really see Rick and the others allowing that to happen after what he just did to Glenn? He might just get locked up in a cell where he belongs. I really wanted the governor to just shoot him in the face.
No way does Merle rejoin the group, not after all that happened, especially with Glen. If he did join, he'd be the new Shane and wouldn't last long. It'd be nice to see Glen run a knife through him though.
I'm glad they finally gave Michonne some more character instead of just being this silent angry person. Hopefully she integrates into the group, though I can see them keeping her separate in a related storyline.

I can actually see Merle earning his way back into the group now that he got betrayed by the gorvenor.
In other news there`s a new game coming up soon featuring the Dixon brothers.

I think he'd be too much of a divisive character in the group, similar to Shane. At this point, Rick isn't taking shit from anyone. Though if the trailer for the remaining season is to be believed, Carl will convince Rick to cede control of the group. I can't think of anyone else who could lead them but Merle, except now we have Tyrese.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
And that`s exactly why he should join the group, to bring internal conflict and turmoil, the governor betrayed him, so there`s only two places to go, rick`s group or dead, and he`s too popular to die, i can see him saving his brother`s life and having him use his influence on the group to let him in.

I don't think Rick would put up with another source of conflict in the group, and personally I wouldn't want to see it with Merle (been done already). With Tyrese joining them, there'd be too much conflict with Merle, and Glen/Maggie wouldn't be ok with it. They can make plenty of conflict from outside groups of bandits. Is Merle really that popular a character?
From the Governor's view, it's very plausible that Merle is a traitor. He talked about his brother a lot, then his brother appears as part of an attack that results in the Gov's daughter dying and him losing an eye.
