I personally love the buildup. Introduce it. Dive into it. Change it. Go into the reaction to the change. Climax. Resolution. First half of the season covered the first 3. Now we're into the 3rd, going into the 4th. By the end of the season, I think we round it out. It may stretch into season 4, for the first half of it, just to get the resolution, and that's OK by me.

Not a fan of Andrea. She puts the co in codependent.

They actually made a good point on "Talking Dead". The one guy in Tyrese' party thinking they he could take "the woman and the kid" was likely off base. Pretty sure Carl would've dusted his ass

Carl would have fuged them up.

I actually like the pacing of the show too.

In the real world, big issues and conflicts rarely get resolved neatly and quickly.

(yes I made a "real world" comparison to a show about zombies; in context, it makes sense)

I liked the episode tonight, should really build towards next week and throughout the season. I already miss Daryl

[cookinbrak]

Daryl will just have a seperate storyline for a while.

I did like "Lil Asskicker" on the postal crate.

[Darth Biscuit]

Enjoyed the episode, glad they're back.

Rick is insane and getting worse.

Carl is gonna be a badass.

Daryl is going to go off with Merle for a while and end up killing him and coming back.

Tyrese is going to be a really cool character.

Confused about what they are going to do with Michonne... I suspect she'll have some role in bringing Rick his sanity back.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

michonne is just as damn crazy as rick

[Boner Champ]

I thought it was good. I kinda hoped for a bit more action, but I have to remind myself that this show isn't am action show.

I am interested in the Daryll spinoff. They actor who plays Merle is seriously one of the best villains of all time! Brilliant actor (even though he plays the same asshole in every movie/show).

[cookinwithgas]

Thought it was a great start to the second half. Took my expectations storywise, and steadfastly refused to meet them in order to continue to keep it crazy.

This kind of thinking is the only thing that will keep this show from jumping the shark. 12.4 million viewers last night I understand. On a basic cable show about zombies. Incredible.

[Kurb]

The Whining Dead

[Stannis]

The Walking Glenn.

[cookinwithgas]

In a way, it does not matter how good they are, as people like Kurb exist to make sure good things get torn down. Andrea kinda whines, but it's her dysfunctional character. The only other "whine" I heard was Carol wanting to be on a jumbo jet but it was actually a great moment.

I still say they've ruined Michonne on the show. In the comics she was actually interesting and never a hostile and miserable bitch like she is on the show. I swear every time someone asks her any simple question she refuses to answer and just gives them the > face

Episode opens with Rick watching through his binoculars and seeing Michonne walking around the overturned bus on the yard of the prison. As he explores the area, he suddenly sees the woman in white dress standing over ​​the graves of his wife and friends. He runs toward the tombs to meet her. As Rick approach the woman, she’s suddenly gone. He looks around and sees her again, but this time, beyond the prison gates. He leaves the prison yard.Michonne watch him go outside and close the door behind him. Finally, after approaching the women we can see that is Lori in her wedding dress. She touches his face, Rick smile and then kiss her. Michonne looks at Rick standing there alone. Cue theme music begins.

In Woodbury, Andrea sits quietly in her apartment when the governor calls the door. He says that her speech to the people is what they needed to hear. She asks about the prison and he says that as long as they do not disturb in the city, they are not being bothered. Andrea wants to see them. The governor changes the subject and says that he is not able to lead the people of the city at the moment, but that Andrea can. He wants her to lead the city.

On the road, Daryl watch Merle emerges from the forest. They talk about how they can find food. Daryl tries to convince Merle that the prison is the best option but Merle does not agree saying that they don’t wanna let him in, and that besides they're all dead anyway since Governor wants to kill them.

Glenn has taken over the group. He want to return back to the city and kill the Governor. He asks the opinion of Michonne and she accepts. The rest of the group (except Rick) does not agree and feel they must leave the prison before is late. Glenn says they can not leave now because they have a crying baby and a man without a leg. Glenn and Carl go to secure the cells through which Tyresse and his group entered.

The Governor surprises Milton while he’s doing some medical experiments. The Governor expressed how valuable Milton was and asks if he intend to stay. Milton says the idea of leaving the city never crossed his mind. He asks if Milton would take a bullet for him and Milton says yes. The Governor then asks Milton to watch over Andrea, because she does not know where her loyalty lies. Andrea approach to the main gates of Woodbury and asks where Martinez is. No one knows. Andrea sees Milton and asks where The Governor is but he does not give a direct answer.

Glenn and Carl return. Hershel suggests again that they should leave the prison. Glenn says no. The group agrees. Axel offers to go with Glenn to explore the hidden side of the prison and then they find how the walkers enter to the building.

Glen asks Axel to help the women pick up supplies because he will talk to Maggie. He asks Maggie if everything is okay and tells her that he wants to talk about"that". Glen asked if he raped her and she says no. She confesses him that if she not undressed the Governor would cut off Glenn’s hand. Almost crying, she asks if he's happy now that know everything and when he goes to comfort her, she punches him and tells him to leave the cell.

On the outside, Carol and Axel are guarding the bridges in prison. Axel tells her that he is in jail for armed robbery. He assaults a liquor store with a water gun. The police searched the house and his brother found the gun that matched the description of the weapon used. Carol offer to teach him how to use a real gun. Axel is grateful to Carol.

Merle and Daryl are walking through the woods to the river to get some fish. They argue about which direction to take when they hear a scream. Daryl recognized as a crying baby. They run to a bridge where a Spanish family is fending off the walkers. Daryl runs to the bridge while Merle tries to stop him. Daryl begins to break down the walkers while Merle covering. After clearing the bridge, Daryl asked if the family is ok. Merle begins to ransack the car. The father of the family tries to stop Merle with his gun but Merle take it down and continued looting the car. Daryl appears behind Merle and aims his crossbow too blige him to leave the car and allowing the Spanish family to escape.

Daryl walks back into the woods and Merle follows him and scolds him for risking his life for strangers while not hesitate to give him up on a roof in Atlanta. Daryl says he was looking for him and he deserved what happened to him for everything he did before.Merle gets angrier and says "I'm sure you don’t told how we had planned to steal the camp". Daryl says that it never happened; Merle says that just because he was not there to help.Daryl calls on of his childhood abandonment and Merle accuses him of making him lose his hand in retaliation. Daryl says he lost his hand for being as he is. Merle attacks Daryl and takes him down,discovering in the process scars on the entire back of Daryl. Merle says he did not know but Daryl says that actually he knew because Merle had them as well and that's why he left first. Daryl start to walk and Merle asks where he is going. Daryl tells him back to the prison and Merle says he cannot go there because he tries to kill Glenn and Michonne. Daryl asks if he is leaving him again and then Merle begins to follow.

Hershel calls for Glenn before he leaves to Woodbury. He question about going to that town and reminds him that he needs him to protect Maggie. Glenn says that Hershel is the next leader and gets into his car and leaves. Hershel sees Rick walking around just outside the gates. Inside, Beth asks Maggie if she can take care of Judith for a moment as she cooks something and Maggie takes the baby.

Hershel calls for Rick and at first the sheriff didn’t know from where the sound is coming, but finally sees Hershel inside the fences. Hershel tells Rick how much the group needs him. Glenn is at war and cannot be the new leader. Rick replied that Hershel must take the lead. Hershel asks what he is doing there;and Rick confesses that he has seen Lori and Shane. Hershel says that is only the manifestation of his fault and that needs to rest because the group needed him. Rick refuses. Michonne, still around the bus,watch the men talking.

Outside in the yard, Axel continues talking to Carol and flirting with her saying that she is a lady when suddenly gets a bullet in the head killing him. The Governor and his men are attacking the prison. Martinez has immobilized Rick outside.Hershel is hiding in the bushes just inside the enclosure. Carl and Beth are hiding behind the bleachers. Michonne takes refuge in the bus. Carol is using Axel's body as a shield, the bullets are flying everywhere. One of the men of Woodbury manages to take control of one of the towers. Michonne exchanged fire with the Governor. Carl is trying to cover Carol who is still hidden under Axel’s body. The fire cease. The calm is reassuring. Maggie comes running with weapons for Beth and Carol. Rick, still on the fence outside, is trying to fight Martinez. Maggie, Beth and Carl cover Carol and she reaches them and takes a weapon. Rick looks how a van crashed straight into the fences. The Van opens and releases a lot of walkers on the courtyard. The driver, fully dressed in armor, runs off and returns with the Governor. The fight resumes.

Rick yells at Hershel to return to the prison. Maggie finally kills the sniper in the tower and as Rick turns to enter the fences, walkers begin to appear in the forest. The shooting has attracted them. The Governor and his men leave. Hershel is surrounded by walkers and Rick cannot help because he himself is being invaded. Glenn suddenly appears in the distance.Michonne with her Katana is making its way to Hershel. Rick is out of bullets and is struggling with two walkers and more are coming, a look of terror comes over him, he will die. Suddenly, an arrow through the head of the walker. The Dixon brothers come running,Merle kills another zombie attacking Rick while Daryl is killing walkers with arrows. Glenn and Michonne help Hershel climb in the car and drive to the secure area of ​​the prison. All are safe (except Axel).

The group observes that they had lost everything they've built, walkers roam the grounds. Rick turns and looks into the distance, thinking about what just happened. They are at war. End of episode.

I agree, but there has to be conflict there - I think she is the one that is going to bring Rick back from the edge so there has to be a starting point for that.
