Jesus this is the longest, most drawn out season ever of any show. Not saying that it's boring, just that this season premiered back on Oct 12th and we just now got the 13th episode 5 months later. Usually like to wait till all the episodes of a season are out to start watching, then i watch a bunch at a time. Only reason I started watching this season already was because I figured it had to have finished up a month or two back. Still goin' though , 2 or 3 episodes left still at least.

A villain with an eye patch? Never would have thought! Also, Andrea sucks. Maggie = hawt

They kind spoiled Merle's return by showing his back story in the intro (previous on AMC's the walking dead). Would have be a cool surprise to see him otherwise. But when they showed him on the intro, it's just like "oh, i guess merle is reappearing in this episode". Ah well no big dealio.

Why were there both men and women zombies at the prison? Unisex penitentiary!

Not sure why evil eye patch guy and his band of misfits shot up all those army guys, other than to show he was a bad guy? I get wanting to use their guns/vehicles but that's also 4 or 5 trained army guys that would be perfect for protecting a town, kind of a win-win situation.

Why didn't T-dog turn into a zombie?

Did Lori turn into a zombie or did rick just imagine that? Cause I thought kiddo shot him

Agreed. I get why they show "previously on", but if you don't already remember who Merle is, you really haven't been paying attention and the recap won't help.

Heh, I didn't even catch that. Perhaps they were employees? Zombies who wandered in afterwards? *shrug*

Because he only brings in people he can manipulate, and who wouldn't be a threat to his position.
Why didn't T-dog turn into a zombie?
There wasn't enough of him left to be a zombie.

Not sure what you are referring to, Rick never saw her as a zombie. She was mostly devoured by a zombie(s). That episode had a serious issue with explaining her body's disappearance. The director said that the pile of what was left of Lori had to be edited out in post production, inferring issues of too much gore. I can see how this can happen, but what was left just felt so incomplete and disjointed. That particular episode was one of my least favorite, especially considering that the prior episode was one of my favorite.

I absolutely hate it when good guys are always stereotypically naive and always get fvcked with heavy consequences before finally winning.

Rick should've just shot Governor at the house.

Nice guys finish last in the real world. A lot of times, the most ruthless people or extremist organization win in times of chaos and confusion.

What world do you live in?

Nice guys doesn't have to mean he's a naive doormat.

-Extremists and stupid one-dimensional villains lose in real world (nor do they really exist really).

-Bumbling nice guys with lack of foresight and wit lose in real world too.

-Sharp minded guy who's good at heart but also has the brains to coordinate and even manipulate people wisely finish last in the real world.

If governor didn't have his batshit crazy side, he's the kind of guy who goes far in real world.

Especially since the Governor got there before anyone else. Kill him, get rid of the body, and they could just act like the Governor never showed up when the rest arrived.

Yea Rick should have gone Doc Holliday on Johnny Ringo on his ass before the rest showed.

You're no daisy Governor! You're no daisy at all!

Well the two guys in the truck knew he was there by their expressions when the crybaby asked.

the one thing i thought was odd about their meeting was when they showed the governors gun taped to the table. then they both started getting up and like moving around the room. i could have sworn they showed the angle from the governors side while he was standing up and there was no gun taped to the desk.

did you guys see the commercial with Darryl in it? I think it was on during Talking Dead and it was for a cable company or something?

Anyway, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the bonding between Prison and Woodbury characters: Herschel & Guv's sidekick; Darrel & Caeser. It implies that were it not for the egomaniacal leadership, the "ordinary folks" in both camps would actually get along.

I wouldn't be surprised if they set up some sort of defection, sabotage, or mutiny against the guv. Will allow the writers to set up some impossible scenario for the prison group, then wrap it all up quickly with a quick twist.

Either Milton will realize the bloodshed is not in humanity's best interest, and gives Rick some way to take out the gov but spare the rest of woodbury, or Ceasar decides figthing for him is nt worth it, and makes some kind of truce with Merl.

I really feel like I'm on the edge of not watching this show anymore. It's more like a soap opera now. I know they cut the budget, but the zombies are just background noise now...in a show called the Walking Dead.

I would like to see them attempt to find out more about why this happened to begin with. Why are they not concerned at all about finding some kind of organized government/military groups? It's been how long and they haven't even left the Atlanta area? The writing is just terrible. If they are going to just have each season take place in 1 location (farm, prison, etc) and having conflict with another group then they are just milking the show and not doing anything interesting.

The creator has said that "The Walking Dead" refers to the survivors, not the zombies.
Perhaps you don't enjoy human drama, but without it, it would just be like a video game's horde mode and get repetitive and boring in a big hurry.
I would like to see them attempt to find out more about why this happened to begin with.
They are just trying to survive day-to-day. The scientist at the CDC was trying to understand it, but ran out of resources. There's no way a rag tag group of non-scientists are even going to scratch the surface.
Why are they not concerned at all about finding some kind of organized government/military groups? It's been how long and they haven't even left the Atlanta area?
It's been about a year since it all began. They went to the CDC in Atlanta, but that obviously didn't work out. They have talked about going to Fort *something*, but ran into people who said there was nothing there. Traveling long distances is perilous... Not knowing if/when you can find more gas, food, shelter. Or whether or not the roads are clear (which they often are not, even in their limited area.) At least the prison is a known quantity.
Again, the biggest thing to note is that they are trying to survive day-to-day on limited resources.

If you are looking for non-stop zombie killing, this show isn't for you. Go watch Dawn of the Dead over and over.

Just because he didn't kill him on the spot doesn't make him naive. When he returned from the meeting the first thing he said was basically "they are going to kill us", he read between the govs lines just fine. He knew it was a bunch of bullshit with exception to the possible out by giving him Michonne. Of course none of us know if that's a viable out or not, so saying Rick is naive there is a guess at best.

I for one think the reason Rick didn't shoot him at the meeting is because it's a TV show. There are still some episodes left (2 or 3?). It would be anti-climactic anyways.

I want to see more season 1. More on the road, more survival, more scavenging, etc.

This being holed up in one place with momma baby daddy drama is just getting old.

I'd be happy if they turned the prison into an awesome Swiss Family Robinson clubhouse with all kinds of mechanisms that raise and lower gates and set traps and they spent all of their time dispensing with zombies from the security of their awesome fortress.
