Michonne leaving was a surpirse given the comic history, though we never see where she ended up. Maybe Merle picked her up ten minutes later and she's held captive, or maybe she'll make it to the prison. Although this is more of a tension brought up by knowledge of the books specifically rather than in-show so probably over-thinking it.
I don't remember a phone call, maybe its past where I read.

The phonecall subplot was one of my lesser favorites of the comic, so of course they couldn't wait to throw that in. Meanwhile, Tyreese is nowhere to be seen on the TV show. *BLANK STARE*
But as I have told myself several times, it is best to enjoy the TV show and comic as 2 separate entities... and the TV show is firmly in the running for BEST THING EVER this season.
How strange are those happy community scenes in Woodbury in relation to, like... EVERY OTHER SCENE in the show?

Yeah, Woodbury's whole creepy appeal has a lot to do with that "there's no way this community's this nice," thing--not to mention that it's run by a secret sadist that runs zombie gladiator matches.

Can't you just see Merle hosting a television show like "Redneck Remedies Post-Collapse" on the History Channel?

I'm liking Merle...and no, I don't think he's changed all that much. He's still an ass...just hedging his bets to find his brother.
Carl has quickly been moving up the ranks of faves this season.
I hope that Carol is found somewhere somehow...or did they address that on The Talking Dead? Have not watched it yet.

They were kinda cagey about this on Talking Dead. The quick preview mentioning "Carol's knife" makes me think she's still around. No idea why she wouldn't have turned up yet if she's alive. I just hope it doesn't get drawn out like the search for her daughter did last season. Ugh.
However, what is whomever was watching Carol at the end of episode 1 or 2 wasn't Andrew? What if there's another creepy sadistic prisoner around (like in the comics, except separate from the other inmates) who took the opportunity of Carol's separation to make his move?

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.
Hate to disappoint ya, Des, but producer Greg Nicotero said outright on last night's Talking Dead that that bloated zombie that Rick went crazy on had just consumed Lori's remains before Rick arrived.
At least, Hershel had a good outcome with his problem and went the Dale route, rather than the Allen route.

I hope that comic plot (sadistic prisoner) is one that is dropped, and also Carol's comicbook fate too.
I know we've got to lose people now and then, but I worry that the TV show isn't exactly finding living replacements for the ones we are losing... I can't exactly see anyone from Woodbury leaving there and joining the Grimes Gang... except Merle, maybe, and that would probably be to betray them.

I could see the Doc doing it.

Well, if the two prisoners count as additions to the group, and if Carol shows back up, then they're actually still +1 baby over what they had when they ended last season.
I thought the bloated zombie was kind of goofy.

It does seem goofy that Lori would have been completely consumed, bones and all. We have never seen that happen before. We've seen a score of zombies leave a character only half-eaten in the webisodes, so the idea that one zombie would devour a person from skull to toes (and her clothes too?) came out of nowhere to me.
If I hadn't been texting Dev, I would have totally missed that Lori was supposed to be completely eaten in that zombie's belly. I was half-suspecting zombie-Lori to turn a corner at any moment (with Carl having chickened out of putting her down).

Come on, now. There is no way Carl would have chickened out. He's a shoot first and ask questions later kind of kid.

I kind of expected Rick to dig something out of the zombies belly, like Lori's wedding ring or something.
