Yeah, Daryl walking off with merl pissed me right off. But it's seems pretty inevitable that Daryl will end up killing merl for some reason.

I think Daryl is taking one for the team by running off with Merle. He knows better than anybody that Merle will clash with everyone else in the prison. He sided with Merle so he could lead Merle away from there. Merle will big time Daryl eventually and Daryl will respond by putting a crossbow bolt through Merle's noggin.

:clap:

Heh, nice.
It did kind of crack me up that Merl hadn’t even been back with the group for 10 minutes and was already doing the same shit that got him handcuffed to a roof in Atlanta.

Yeah, that kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Like they were trying too hard to make him a dick.

I think the attitude worked. He had been bottled up/holding back with the governor for so long that seeing his brother brought himself out stronger than usual. I foresee a heavy dose of asshole Merle for a few episodes before he gets offed.

I just ordered the first set of comics or whatever. The 1000 page one.. Where is it at with the episodes? I mean are all of the episodes so far in it? Or are they passed it

Nice. Hadn't even considered that. Makes a lot of sense.

Everything the show has done is in it and then some.

just saw it...gotta agree that ending was kinda meh...the 'rick losing it' is right at the limits of his acting abilities, .it's Shakespearean in a non-flattering way

and he really isn't the most interesting character at the moment, imo..

felt they had a hard time with so many story lines in that episode, hope that's just an isolated problem

The episode didn't have the feel of a mid-season premiere. I wouldn't be suprised if they never planned on chopping the season in two parts, but when they did this was the point they just kind of decided to start it back up with.

Boom.

Zombie kill/s of the week by Daryl.

HOLY ****ING SHIT.

Delusional Rick may have surpassed bitchy Lori in my hatebook.

This shit is already annoying.

boring episode........


UNTIL THAT OOOOOHHHHH SHIIIIIIIIT, MOMENT!!!!!!!!!!!

Automatic rifles with scopes... AND THESE IDIOTS CAN'T HIT STATIONARY TARGETS?!

:facepalm:

Correction... Maggie just took down the ass in the guard tower.

****ing called that.

Knew Rick would get help from those......well, yeah. You know.

50 minutes of suck, 10 minutes of ****ing awesomeness.

This.

this.


my friggin' heart is racing!!!! best 10 minutes of the year.



so far.

I planned on watching next week, obviously.

But, the last 10 minutes and the buildup to next week has me very erect.

Wow good episode. Getting tired of the whole Rick losing his mind thing already though

Ah but put them in a moving car at night and they can shoot the wings off a fly with a handgun

this huge boner of mine is not from any blue pill. that's for sure.

christ!

I agree with every post on this page.

Here too.

I may need to take a week's worth of vacation.

:LOL: Men.

you're just jealous.:thumb:

And why was the governor just firing off randomly?

Was the Governors patch on the wrong eye? And did Daryl's tattoos switch from right to left. Just some goofs I thought I saw.

Gah! Not you too? :facepalm:

Settle down folks, it's just zombies getting slaughtered. Sheesh. LMAO

show of power. has unlimited ammo. balls of steel.

doesn't care. come at me bro. (him, not me)

okay, it's subsided now.:huh:

Precisely. He was sending a message.

Thought so too. The patch was on the wrong eye. It shows him shooting with the right eye covered and then in the previews it shows him holding a match up to his left eye.

Robocopgovernor.

Eh, nope. I'm quite content sitting here without a kickstand. I tyvm. :D

rochambeau

i didn't see the tats. but if the governor scene that you're referring too was at the end (the previews for next week), i'm pretty sure he was looking in a mirror.

unless i'm overly dumb tonight. you have seen my posts about my huge erection, right?:evil:

Ah did not see the mirror

Bridge was good, end was good. Could have done without the shakespearean delusion, the lovers quarrel between glen and maggie and the woodbury bullshit (the town stuff)

Glad muh dawgs Darryl and Merle are back. Merle's a racist douche, but he's a ****ing badass.

Now we just need the big ass black dude's crew to come back and we'll be set.

I like Daryl. He's badass with a side of tenderness, (i.e. him handling the baby, taking care of Carol, etc.). But Merle? He's just a POS that only cares about himself.

I hope that Glenn kicks the living shit out of Merle. That would make me happy. :D

Oh and yes, this show needs more color. I'm still wondering what happened to the guy and his boy in Season 1. I won't say what happens in the comics, but I hope to see them both come back.

Head squashed in hatchback door = Pure Awesome.


Why didn't the governor finish it?

That was pretty juicy.

It was definitely ho him until Axl took the bullet out of nowhere.

Speaking of the comics, how did you like them? More than the show? Less?

I liked the episode a lot, that was the most extended action scene in the series. my favorite scene was Michonne chopping zombie craniums. I have to pick some nits though. It bugged me that Maggie took cover behind a flimsy aluminum filing cabinet and Rick took cover behind a wooden bridge that was 4-6 inches tall. They got away with it but that seemed really dumb. Rick would know better.

The governor is missing his right eye (most likely his dominant eye) and sniped the prisoner. that doesn't make any sense. how is he looking down the scope when the rifle butt is pitted in his right shoulder. the other thing that bugged me was in the previous episode. the governor was walking at a brisk pace and capped a zombie right in the melon while firing from the hip. apparently the gov's missing eye doesn't affect his depth perception and his long range vision. The he went full auto and couldn't hit anything. it's really inconsistent.

ya I noticed that too. Was wondering if I was just high.

You weren't? I'm a little disappointed. :thumb:

Looking back, we should have known he was going to die.


Build him up so that we like him, than BOOM!


I didn't see it coming, though.

How did the Gov get a Steyr?

I think the Gov is so pissed off that he wants to turn Rick's group into Zombies to keep as pets.


Oh, I think the nerd was the driver of the truck.

yup

was kind of funny though how that fire fight consisted of 10 people who apparently couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a rpg.....


daryl has become the best part of the show, imo...you can always see him calculating the price of decency and loyalty in a post-human world, but he doesn't have to be hysterical about it

i just don't give a **** about rick's dead wife...everyone out there has lost somebody, but rick gets to go all Gary Busey on them...let's wrap it up, unless you're willing to take him over the edge

Merle's moving slowly into antihero territory now as I thought he eventually might. I suspect he dies at the end of this season, though, probably helping his brother/the group in the fight against the Governor.

One episode is enough of Rick stumbling around aimlessly in delusion, though. I hope this doesn't last much past this.

Agreed, I'm losing patience with this aspect of the show. Hopefully the firefight and imminent threat brings him back to reality.

I think Merle was sent by the Gov to infiltrate the prison.

I mean, I think we get the point already. This world and devastation it causes leads people to lose their shit. But when the effects of that involve the main protagonist stumbling and mumbling around for several minutes an episode about nothing while losing any sense of reality, it isn't particularly interesting television. Enough is enough there.

So, any guesses on how and when Tyrese and co. reappear?

A double agent of sorts, then. I think in the end his loyalties will fall with his brother (and therefore, his brother's group). He does care about him.

Did I see it right, and the driver of the truck ran into the prison area, past Carol?If so where is that person now?

When Rick eventually gets sane again, the group will probably have a conversation about needing reinforcements to beat the Governor. They then go get them back and Tyreese arrives to help protect in the prison in a war that will end the season.

Probably nothing more interesting than that for his re-entrance, but we'll see.

no clue, whole scene was confusing

Let's hope that's sooner, rather than later.

The right eye is his bad eye. Noticed the goof in the preview also. Guessing they inverted the image.

Totally agree with this.

Or he's looking in a mirror

That's what I said when my son pointed it out.

I thought Lip went to Indiana for Fireworks.

First I was worried Carol was going to bang Daryl and I'd have to watch. Then I worried she was going to bang that jailbird. Glad they killed the Jailbird off, but now Daryl is back...

not to be a debbie downer, but this was covered a couple posts above.

gov's looking in a mirror.

one thing i was thinking about though. when the woodbury crew attacked, who was watching the baby. all of rick's crew was in the prison outskirts. who was watching the baby?

stoopid fatherhood is ruining me..............

No one was watching the baby. Maggie was the last one out the door, so chances are she put her in her Post Office bin, set her on a top bunk, locked the door, shoved the keys in her pocket, and went out to bag her some tower sniper.

Theory Number One: The Gov has set Merle up to infiltrate the prison group. That's why Merle was uncuffed while Daryl was shackled in the arena. That's why the Governor had that stupid grin on his face as they 'rescued' the brothers. That's why the Governor staged that shooting at all, then cut and run when they could have hung around and wiped them all out. The least the Governor is expecting to get from the infiltration is recon of numbers and defenses; the most is an inside assassin that will take out the leadership before they know what hit them.

Theory Number Two: The driver of the Zombie Van was Karen, the dark-haired woman to whom Andrea was talking earlier. When the Governor and Rick meet, the Gov is playing to play mind games with Rick and tell him that that was actually Andrea, who has turned on them and is loyal to Woodbury now.

Theory Number Three: My top five Most Likely Next To Die list, in no particular order: Herschel and his other daughter, Bob and Alan, and Menendez.

Disclaimer: I haven't read any of the comics, and in fact try to avoid discussion of them.

probably chillen in a bed somewhere pretty much safe in there. Babies can be left alone in a room for a little while, that whole deal was what 15 min long? if that

Guessin that in the zombie apocalypse SIDS isn't high on the concern list.

I was at the Midland on the 15th for a night with Michael Rooker, Norman Reedus, Lauren Cohan and Greg Nicotero. It was awesome. Norman Reedus talked about the conscious change he made in his acting when the scenes involved interaction between him and Rooker. He purposely reverted to the "little brother" dynamic.

It was so enjoyable knowing what changes were made to the scripts and for what reason. If anyone else went, they know exactly what I am talking about. It was well worth the money, not only as a fan of this show, but the creative process in general.

Daryl is going to be on Lex and Terry here at 9am central. http://lexandterry.com/ or http://www.q98.com/ and listen live.

Bump.

I believe the person ran past Michonne when she was huddled next to the bus. There is a chance that the person was scooped up when the Governor drove the truck in and met Glenn in his truck, but I'm thinking that the person used the chaos to slip inside unnoticed.

Maybe that was the reason the Governor was firing into the air. To keep people behind cover with their heads in the dirt, while not risking shooting his own man...

That was my thinking as well. I may need to rewatch it this evening.

I'm going with the theory that the driver of the zombie van bomb was the nerd. He was acting all jittery with Andrea when she was asking what was happening in the town, and the Gov gave him that rah-rah speech earlier in the show.

I seriously doubt it was the nerd(Miron?). He's too timid and unskilled to trust with any kind of assignment in that nature and far too valuable to the town for his knowledge and know how for scientific things. (solar energy, water purification or any problem solving)

My guess is it's the chick with the bow that could not hit the walker the first time Andrea was on the wall.
