Merle I do not like, he's just an annoying idiot IMHO. I look forward to his death (assuming it happens).

A random zombie being split open does not carry the same emotional weight as seeing a long running human character be split open. Yes I know it's just Lori, but it is what it is.

doesn't change the gore factor one bit.

It's not really about the gore factor. They probably didn't want to show a running character, a mother, who just had her baby, dead with her stomach split open in a pool of blood. It's like in fantasy works where the monsters (zombies) be they orcs goblins or whatever have no "emotion" attached to them so they can show em being sliced and diced no problem, but the same doesn't apply to humans.

When Rick and the Asian kid slathered zombie guts all over them in season 1...didn't the zombies catch on after awhile if I recall? Yes, it was after it started raining but rain certainly isn't going to wash all that stink off. Michonne didn't have nearly as much of it on her yet she's shoulder to shoulder with zombies and not detected...just seemed a bit odd.

A good friend of mine is good friends with the guy in Merle's group who got decapitated by Michone. I'm one degree separated from a dead guy in Walking Dead!

A guy I work with actually has a step daughter that works for AMC, so I get to hear some pretty interesting stories about the show. I'd heard about Hines Ward being a zombie about a month before they officially said anything on it.

Michonne was walking around in the heat with those guts on her. The time in the show is exxagerated, but if she walked from the store to the prison, we can assume the smell would "cured" for her. If Glenn and Maggie had to drive to the store..imagine how long it would take to walk.

Glen and Rick got rained on pretty good, it makes sense that the zombies would start to be able to tell that they didn't smell like the rest of em.

Maybe she has the zombie teleporting technology that allows her to appear out of nowhere.

Until he kidnapped Glenn, I was thinking Merle might turn against the governor over his brother.

Same as it seemed the governor did not want him to find his brother.

I am going to guess it will be the gov that kills him, Merle, when he keeps insisting of going for his brother or tries to stop the gov from killing him when the groups meet.

I thought the funniest thing was that Merle stopped following Michonne and went back the way he came, yet they both ended up at the same spot. How does that work?

Well Merle heard the car and he had commented to the kid before killing him they needed to find a car to get back to the base.

So they both headed for where vehicles were.

Well, I wouldn't say they "had" to drive. It's like people who live in suburbs or car-required areas that drive a block to get a coffee...

True, though even if the store was a couple blocks away, given the choice, I'm taking the 3,000 lb hunkering piece of steel around me over just meandering through the woods and hoping no zombies decide to jump out and bite me. Fuck, I'd be driving the car around gate to gate at the prison.

That logic doesn't really apply in an apocalypse where gas is scarce...you wouldn't drive somewhere unless you pretty much just had too.

Except right now it isn't really.

There are a ton of cars on the roads you can get gas from.

Gasoline goes bad, it doesn't last forever. Leave gas in your car for 6 months and see if it runs well when you come back. It won't. Older cars probably would have less of a problem with this.

I've given up on caring about the cars/gas situation, Daryl choosing to ride the ridiculously loud motorcycle, etc.

I am, however, strangely interested in purchasing a Hyundai for odd some reason, though...

Really? I'm thinking of getting a Nissan.

Probably because I keep thinking that the Hyundai badge is the Nissan one...

if they were scouting for supplies, they might have wanted the option to bring back more than they could carry on their backs in case they found something good.

Batteries may be drained but not kaput -i.e. if jump started would still charge. Not that that would help a lone person on foot, at least not without perhaps an older manual transmission car on an incline.
