I find Ricks crazy freaking out to be awkward really, I can understand why he would under the stress of all his been though but tbh andrew lincoln is not selling the part well, his a good actor but the crazy bit is not his strong point.
Did anyone else think the driver of the Zombie Truck was Andrea? Looked a bit feminine to me. I'm probably way off but I don't know.
I thought it was her as well.
So everyone can headshot zombies without a miss but can't hit within two feet of a human. Maybe they should try using the scopes mounted on the rifles.
It will break down one way or another. Either Merle will do something stupid that forces Daryl to turn against him ... or Merle will prove himself somehow, and Rick will figure out he needs all the help he can get these days and bring 'em both in.

I was thinking that too. But to be fair, just about anyone at the end was shooting an automatic weapon, and if you've ever shot one, you'll know you can't hit anything with any accuracy
They don't go full auto on the zombies for a reason, but yeah, why not do what they've been doing with the Walkers? If it kills a walker, it will kill a human.
Heh. Or maybe both.
I didn't realize that Merle and Daryl hadn't actually a scene together before last week (aside from the hallucination in Season 2).
Good episode this week. I'm still not as against the Rick-going-insane thing as some are. First, I think it makes for a good counterpoint to the Governor going insane ... two men breaking under a similar burden, one breaks good, the other breaks bad.
Second, I think this last few episodes has done well to shake the foundation, making things more desperate. Since Ep 2 of Season 1, there have been two rocks for the characters to lean on ... Rick's leadership, and the stability of the group. Since Lori died, they removed both, and it rattled the only slight comforts they have. Rick is breaking under the pressure, and the group is splintering ... Daryl left, Glenn out-of-control, Maggie traumatized, Glenn and Maggie's relationship suffering, T-Dog dead, Lori dead, the prison itself is getting less safe, the only two useful prisoners are dead, and Rick's judgment is compromised. He's even turning away reinforcements ... Michonne not trusted, Tyrese ejected, and Daryl sent off with Merle.
They've set it up so everything this group relies on is falling apart. If Rick weren't breaking under the pressure ... the situation would seem quite a bit better. Its a necessary element.
Right now, the only solid people left are Carl, Hershel, Beth and Carol. That's not near enough for any stability -- Carl is a badass, Hershel is a grizzly old codger but hobbled, and Beth and Carol are pretty useless. Daryl came back. Merle and Michonne proved useful in the fight, so maybe Rick will figure out how much he needs the help. Tyrese is still MIA.

I guess we can rule out
comic spoiler
Axel being the TV show's version of Thomas
The scene on the bridge, and those last few minutes were a nice relief after having to watch all Glenn's whining and hissyfitting, and Rick walking aimlessly in the forest
