What?!?!? How did I miss that? When was that?? o_O

Stop replacing black actors like players at bat; racist criticisms are going to go through the roof. Next thing you know, latest black actors are gonna be cast permanently due to PR reasons and not let the writers kill off actors at their whim.
I don't mean to sound racist, I love Tyrese's character, but if the production feel it's his time to die, so be it. Keep this shenanigans up and the Actor's Guild is gonna be all over the production.

I agree, it was probably time for him to die. Either him, or Carol, at that point. They have to keep killing people off, otherwise you start feeling "too safe". But killing the convict in so short a time afterwards... I'm not going to say it seemed deliberate, but they could've picked someone else to off...

It was during the shoot out. In fact Rick froze when he saw what he thought was Shane walking towards him. Rick freezing was the reason the inmate got shot. I actually kind of laughed at that whole moment because all I could think of during that slow motion sequence was, when did Shane become Wolverine? :)

A lot of other people did, too. He's filming another role, and contractually couldn't shave the beard, so they worked it in.

I think a part of it, too, is seeing Woodbury: this huge community with open-air living, a town green, buildings that have windows, but it is tainted by being a place that will take outsiders and torture them, beating Glen to the point he can barely walk; and thinking that maybe Shane's way had it right. His group is barely surviving, they just lost two people and live in a prison; this group has a town. Take that, along with a vague resemblance to Shane, and Rick's behavior towards Michonne makes a lot more sense.

I'm really curious to see how Andrea reacts (once she's done being shocked by seeing Daryl alive). I'm also curious to see if the doctor's going to do anything, or if the reason he was the only other person not screaming for blood is that he's just queasy about killing people in general (he didn't like the zombie boxing either).

I wonder if Governor thought through the effect of Andrea seeing Darryl. She now knows it wasn't just terrorists and that her old group would not have just attacked for no good reason. Plus Michonne being there, the heads, and Penny. She can't help but see through his bullsh*t.

When Andrea shows up and has the gun pointed at Michonne, I was infuriated! Instead of Michonne gesturing to the room full of zombie heads and a dead zombie girl, she glares and walks out? Speak once in a while woman, they just added a new black woman this episode so you better do something good!

Can't wait for the bone-stabbed guard to rise and wreak havoc on the complex!

They stated he died so there is a near 100% chance they ended him so he wont become a zombie.

Shh, don't ruin my fantasies.

Arise?
Some dead wife sightings to evaluate there, for those of us with blinders on.

I wonder if Rick hasn't been sleeping. He is most certainly losing it.

I think they're tripping up on making him flip flop lucid / sane. It feels like there needs to be more questionable santiy during his lucid periods.

I also kind of feel like the sense of a surviving group has dissolved. Somehow, knowing a core group of characters is comforting; but I've been groomed by decade long sitcoms.

The safe locale has killed the sense of adventure.
The farm had more adventure. They foraged in town. Glen and his lady went out for a romp. There was an over arcing thing going with the barn.

As a character, the jail is missing something; if the farm was a character, or Atlanta was a character. Atlanta and the farm had that something. Not so much for the jail. When I thought there might be a secret covenant of cons living within the jail, it was an exciting prospect.

Woodbury has lost it's mystique as well, but has some potential if Andrea becomes a godfather. If you'll allow the mixed metaphor.

The jail will not be safe for long. The governor knows about it and that motherf*cker is pissed off.

Agreed, the jail won't be safe for much longer. I feel as if they're overdoing the sane/lucid thing, though, it kinda seemed unnecessary.

FTFY Agreed, it'd be nice to see Andrea start running the place, it'd certainly be a step up.
Certainly curious about the direction they took with Darryl and Merle, looking forward to seeing those two again!

Sorry, it's/its is one of those ones I can never get right. It's the car's headlight. It's john's dog. It's its fault. Doesn't follow the convention. Someone should invent metric spelling and grammar.

The key to survival in the zombie Armageddon is clearly: Never deepen your character. If it happens, I'm just going to nod once at everything anyone says.

Holy crap! I was wondering where this whole episode was leading, and then all the sh*t hit all the fans! I didn't expect things to progress that quickly! But it was awesome!

You guys are awesome! I'd totally forgotten that I had a new Walking Dead episode to watch today! Oh goodie. So, um, yeah, thanks for posting!

I did enjoy the trojan horse attack. I'm not sure how that one guy got in the sniper tower. At first I thought it was one of the group's people up there but it was one of the governor's men.

I just thought it was hilarious that absolutely no one was capable of getting a clean shot off except the first one on Axel. Everyone is so adept at shooting and it took a long time to take out one person without cover in a guard tower. However, the instant there are zombies everyone is back to extreme accuracy.

I just chalk that up to the fact that zombies don't shoot back at you.

Maybe it was just a trick of the lighting, but the first time they showed Axel dead on the ground with Carol using him as a shield, it looked like his mustache was gone. That's some good shootin'.

Whatever happened to whoever was in the woods, setting off the prison sirens, etc...?

Hallucinata-Lori!

I'm here all week!

Someone killed him, maybe Oscar. It was the smaller black inmate that Rick chased out into a group of zombies. Somehow he survived the zombies and came back to f things up.

You know, maybe I missed it, but where did the driver of the trojan horse take off to? It seemed like whoever it was crashed through the gates, jumped out, took some pot shots at Maggie(?), and then that was it. I didn't see if the driver ended up hopping into the Governor's truck at the end?

Also, I'm guessing the attack was just a warning? Seemed like a handful of walkers in a van isn't all that much of a threat.

It was Andrea wasn't it?

Why else the cover on the hair out the back of the helmet?

Andrea didn't go with them, she was searching for the Governor back in town.

They were all under fire. and at 500 feet away it's hard to hit any target.
I was thinking the same thing, WHAT THE HELL? The Gov is standing out in the open and you cant hit him?

Anyways, adrenaline will shake you up.

The samurai gunned him down. I'm guessing the Gov will either hit them with a bigger force or someone will kill him before that happens. I do not see the Gov leaving them alone by choice. He'll keep attacking until stopped.

I loved the the last episode... mostly.

I just didn't get why The Governor let up after releasing the walkers into the prison yard. He had the perfect opportunity to keep firing at them. Is he so far gone that he just wants to watch the group get attacked/bitten?

The brothers coming to the rescue was great! Can't wait to see what unfolds with Merl re-joining the group.

I think the Governor wants them to suffer, so this is the first attack of many. He knows he has the numbers and he will keep coming back and f*cking with them, until he is satisfied. The guy is completely sadistic.
