re: The Walking Dead 3.15 "The Sorrowful Life" ***NO SPOILERS***

That was Allen's kid, Ben.

Looked like concertina wire on some wood.

The preview at the end of the episode made it look like they were packing up to leave the prison when the Governor attacks.

Is there any way to watch Talking Dead online?

Finally get to post in these threads, watched the first 2 seasons on 1channel.ch and the last on DVR. They have slowed down the progress a great deal the last 4 eps.

The Gov is going to get his soon.

Gov had everyone turn in their guns, if Rickville goes to Woodbury while the troops are gone, it's theirs.

Still the big Andrea wildcard + Milton is around. There was a huge box of grenades at "Clear" homestead.

Seems to be only one road between the two camps though, will be great next week.

That was already settled last season when Rick told them everyone was infected, though I can't remember if they used those exact words on the show.

With the fact that all people have the virus, will the title walking dead eventually be a twist that everybody is "dead"

The 'walking dead' has always referred to the survivors not the zombies.

You wonder how that got past the final cut. Pretty obvious.

That kind of shite drives me nuts. The car was perfectly clean all of a sudden and one second later it has completely different rims. With all of the money this show makes, the editing and special effects are atrocious. It's pretty pathetic. History Channel and HBO are light years ahead with Vikings and GoT, respectively. AMC should put some of its profits into the damn show! /rant

Pretty solid episode, I thought. Still, what fun would it be without a little nitpicking. So, here goes:

1- I'm kinda undecided about the effectiveness of Merle's pre-death face turn episode. On on hand, I found it kind of flat and kinda sad. On the other hand, I was relived that they didn't go for a full on attempt at redemption. He stayed pretty true to his character.

2- It didn't make a whole lot of sense to me that Rick would even choose Merle for that mission. He had to be probably the person availabe tha the Governor would trust the least and would be the least likely to pull of the delivery of Michonne with an outcome of peace. Only thing I could come up with is maybe Rick was going for a twofer - giving the Gov. Michonne and letting him keep Merle in exchange for peace (maybe he was going to send some type of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern letter with Merle).

3 - It's getting just a little stale how invincible they are making the Governor. Merle took out like 8 Woodbury guys, bu not the Governor? And when he gets a shot at him, the stupid kid just happens to step in the way?

These are admittedly minor thing though. I enjoyed the episode.
