First rule of the Walking Dead Club: There can only be 1 token black guy.

The black guys on this show is reminding me of Highlander for some reason…

@Mr B Merle said that to the other guy that wanted to keep going before shooting him in the face. He left no one to contradict his story that he did kill her but couldn’t get the sword or her head because they were over run by walkers.
I also think the hole in the back of the prison was mentioned earlier in the season when they were clearing it and finding non prisoner walkers inside.

Didnt Merle say the he wounded Michonne (true IIRC) and that she probably wouldnt survive in a walker zone? (Not an unreasonable assumption?)

The huge hole in the fence of the prison was a weak plot-hole (pun not intended). A storm drain or some other way in that the group could be forgiven for missing, I could buy that. But huge wall knocked down…???

Even though Merle lied to the Gov I still think this thing with Daryl and Merle is all a ploy to allow them to be rescued and have Merle gain access to the prison. Merle wouldn’t go back with Ricks’ group and they wouldn’t want him back after what he did to Glen and Maggie so his only option for survival is to get back in the Governors good graces. This will eventually set up the Daryl/Merle confrontation we all know is coming and more than likely Daryl will have to kill his brother to save the group.

I LOVED the scene where Maggie and Glenn were about to be executed. Very powerful and emotional performance by Maggie’s actress. I got chills when she cried with an extremly high pitched voice “I love you” before getting the sack.

As far as I’m concerned everyone besides Daryl Maggie and Glenn can die, but one of them bites it and I’ll probably stop watching.

I found it incredulous that the group never reconnoitered the perimeter of the prison to look for weaknesses in the security fence. You’d think they would have driven around the prison at least once and repaired any obvious holes around the perimeter.

I was thinking the same thing as Giancarlo while watching. There was a scene earlier with Merle and the Governor where they had discussed getting Daryl to trust Merle and to provide information on the prison. I think that Merle’s betrayal was staged, and that they’ll engineer a way to escape so that Daryl will begin to trust him. Merle didn’t seem all that upset and didn’t protest when he was accused of betraying Woodbury, which seemed to support this idea.

Paul,

How far ARE you in the comics? I gave up for awhile before the end of the Woodbury/Prison storyline because it was going downhill, fast, but I can’t picture you being that far in and not knowing some of this stuff. Also, no spoilers, but some of your guesses/analysis could be worded “this is what they did in the comics…” vice “maybe they’re gonna do this?”

How are you keeping up with the comic and not know who Pedo Guy is? He’s like the only important prisioner the comic had (though they changed his appearance a lot on the tv series). He’s probably being honest on what he’s in for, unless the show wants to go with a diferent direction for him
