Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC ( Spoilers!!)
Last night's episode was decent but not as good as the last 2 episodes. I realize it is the episode that is setting up the confrontation with the Governor's group and Rick's group. Some random musings...
1.) I thought the phone sequence was very well done. Getting the actors back who played Amy, Jim, Jacqui and Lori was really cool. I didn't even recognize their voices, except Lori's.
2.) Michonne discovers that being covered in walker blood disguises her from the walkers. Rick's group has known about that since episode 2. Why aren't they doing this more often? (i.e. - Shane and Otis could have used that tactic in S2 when going for the medical supplies. Might have also been handy when clearing out the prison blocks.)
3.) When Merle and "Neil" kill their fallen comrades, it shows that the Governor's group also knows about the dead coming back to life regardless of being bitten or not. I wonder how they found out? I hope they mention it in a future episode.
4.) Merle is scared *****less of Michonne since she almost killed him. That is why he didn't want to go after her and killed "Neil" so he could lie to the Governor. Can't wait to see the Governor's and Merle's faces when they see Michonne show up with Rick's group looking for Glenn and Maggie.
5.) Glenn (and possibly Maggie) now know that location of Woodbury since Merle had Glenn drive them there, so there is no way the Governor will willingly let them go. Conversely, Michonne also knows the location of both Woodbury and the prison, so the physical confrontation is inevitable now.
6.) Why wasn't Michonne afraid/suspicious of the prison and the people there like she was with Woodbury? She shows herself right away by walking right up to the fence. I am guessing it is because she is hurt and needs medical attention?
7.) Why didn't she help Glenn and Maggie with Merle? I like Sarah Silverman's answer on the Talking Dead about her taking in as much info as she can before taking action. Nice touch in bringing the baby formula with her to the prison.
8.) Andrea, Andrea, Andrea. You have the worst taste in men. I am curious to see how she reacts when/if she finds out Glenn/Maggie have been captured in Woodbury. The Governor will try and keep it from her as long as possible but it has to come out at some point right? I can't imagine her taking the Governor's side against Rick's group especially once she finds out the truth. Will she find out about Penny?
9.) Carol is alive! I think most of us figured as much, but I sure hope they give us some explanation as to exactly what happened to her. For starters, how did she get stuck in a cell with a dead Walker blocking the door? Why was she so weak that she couldn't push open the door, let alone cry out for help when she heard people talking in the hall? By my count she was separated from the group for about 24 hours which is not enough time to get that weak and pathetic, but then again it is Carol we are talking about here. I so don't want to see her hook up with Daryl.
10.) Loved the Daryl/Carl bonding scenes. Big brother/little brother dynamic forming there.
