    Merle also lied and told the Governor that Michonne was dead, and because Michonne lived she was able to get to Ricks group and lead them back to Woodbury.

    Take all that and add the fact Daryl was in the attacking group, it would be hard NOT to think Merle was a traitor :P

    Oh right that too, forgot about how Merle lied about Michonne being dead. He's pretty much screwed in Woodbury and with Rick's group.

    Though now that I consider it, how did the Governor know Daryl was who he is? Daryl doesn't seem like the type to talk and he didn't know Merle was there so he wouldn't have tried to save himself by claiming that tie.

    Wow, funny how we were lamenting the show going on winter break, but here we are just a month or so away from new episodes.

    Pretty good episode. A few things were resolved, and new complications arose.

    I'm happy to be right about Merle, but I'm surprised Daryl did what he did. Also surprised at how Merle acted towards the survivors when his ass was on the line between them letting him join them or kicking him out. Andrea continues to overstep her authority, can't wait until the Governor puts her in her place.

    Saw the episode, did not enjoy it.

    Andrea is not only boring, but the actor plays the role like a chore. She only ever has one blank facial expression, and she's on the show more than almost anyone. Show us more Glenn, more with Carol, or Daryl.... hell anyone other than Andrea. Give us some Michonne, let her say more than 1 word an episode. OR AT LEAST ONE AN EPISODE FFS

    The entire Governor story has waned thin to be honest. The pacing of this show just trudges along, nothing ever seems to progress.... and when it finally does we have 2 book-ending episodes on either side with even less happening.

    I think you guys are seeing this new episode as the start of an arc when really it's just a continuation from previous events that haven't been resolved.

    Funk that, I don't want to see more Glenn or Carol or Michonne. The Michonne character is so one-dimensional it's pointless to explore. I'll be surprised if she lasts until the end of the season, considering her role is played out.

    If anything, more Carl, Beth, and Tyrese would help the show. All of the other characters are pretty well fleshed out. The biggest problem with the show for me is how the zombies have taken a serious backseat to human-vs-human conflict. Maybe if a zombie leader emerged, or they somehow became a greater threat (intelligence or more intensity).

    Tyrese seems like he'll make a good fit in the group, he fills a role that the show desperately needs right now.


    And no, I don't mean big black man who dies in a few episodes.

    This show is hard to watch sometimes. I find it amazing that when the group started firing on the zombies during Darrell and Merle's fight, the gun toters in the city didn't immediately seek cover. They walked and looked around as if immune to bullets. That bothered me a bunch.

    And I definitely do like Tyrell. I hope he becomes part of the group, particularly with Darrell gone and Rick's apparently dwindling mental stability. The actor's basically reprising his role from the Wire, but in a zombie apocalypse setting. It should work out nicely.

    Daryl isn't gone. He's too popular to be "gone". There's of course the chance he'll be separated from the group for a bit, but I expect him to return to the prison soon after.

    Well in their defense they were supposedly in shock and unsure of what to do, demonstrating what a hapless bunch of morons the citizens of Woodbury are. I think it represents the complacency of the human race and how we aren't prepared for the future or catastrophe.

    Kinda frustrating episode with everyone out of sorts and no leadership in the group. Watching the Talking Dead right after helps explain and humanize some of what happens though. The zombie bomb was awesome, what a concept!

    A much better episode than most in this season. I got sick of the whole Ricktatorship very quickly (if you call since Shane died quickly) and there wasn't enough chaos in a supposed chaotic environment... I think the producers noticed this as well and have definitely delivered.

    Who was the person in full pseudo-body armor regalia dropping off the zombies? At first I thought it to be Andrea but that wouldn't make much sense.

    Which moment? Meryl basically committing suicide?

    Which moment? It's not like there was any other sad moments to choose from in the ep, but when Daryl found Merle at the end was the sad part.
