Yeah, I thought he/she had a hall pass until at least that meeting occurred. Going against that expectation and the other death preventing some resolution to the tension between that character and another one really make this season feel really unpredictable!

They do seem to be glossing over the fact that Merle is a racist prick somewhat and losing that possible conflict you mention is an odd choice. I get that Andrea's treading carefully around him but she does seem a little too trusting, but I hope this angle isn't dropped.

There are still touches of the Merle we know and love to hate...but time may have calmed him a little (I hope not too much), and getting clean cannot hurt.

A slightly calmed down Merle makes it all the more dramatic when he goes batshit evil.

Like...when he sees Rick. That should be a very interesting confrontation given what Rick and the group has just been through.

Watched the mist last night on Netflix . 2007 frank darabont show that was very much a proto-walking dead including having three of the main cast in very simar roles. A lot of the same strengths and weaknesses darabont was noted for on the show were all here. I don't know if I'd recommend it other than as curious per-cursor to TWD.

Kind of a ramp down episode and a set up episode for things to come.
We dud get two big things... Click Here For A Spoilerthe phone for Rick and the Governors daughter.
Overall a slower episode, but enjoyable. Also starting to see how the prison and Woodbury are going to collide.

The Woodbury scene at the end was done really well I thought.
Michonne got to say more in this episode than she has in the last 4...which is good, and it seems that she will run into the others soon enough.
Oh, and how about the appetite of that walker/sitter in the boiler room...he didn't waste an ounce. In fact, he was so full he couldn't move.

Yeah, I didn't get at all what they were implying with that walker until I saw the Talking Dead show later. Eeeeeewwwwwww! I mean, DAMN, even the bones?!?!?

Yeah, the name the baby scene was fantastic and heartbreaking as Carl attempts to firmly be an adult while revealing how much of a little kid he still is with his limited life experience.
Subtle things like Daryl's leadership, Maggie's badassness / bravery, and Glenn & Herschel's caring 'family' moment were all great. I'm in love with Maggie.
I saw a theory that maybe Click Here For A SpoilerLori is still alive, rescued by Carol who used her limited knowledge to stitch her up.. It seems unlikely given what was said in interviews but I'd really like it I think, especially as it'd show the one doing the saving in a really good light.
