    A few thoughts:

    1. I agree with anyone that doesn't see the harm in the Governor's camp. I don't care what might happen. What's been shown to me is pretty okay, in my opinion. I found Andrea's reaction pretty over the top.

    It had a huge problem because her reaction seems to come off as the show expects the audience to also be offended by a gladiator arena in an apocalyptic setting.

    Uh, we aren't. It was entertainment, just like the Governor said. Andrea's reaction is simply another decision by the writers to make Andrea look dumb. It's terrible for her character and makes her insanely boring too because she's so one-dimensional.

    2. Michonne is still horrible. I guess she swings a sword around but I'm supposed to be excited about her arrival in the show because of that? She's incredibly boring as a character and does nothing but complain and mope around. I hope she does something interesting soon because I'm real close to shutting my brain down whenever she shows up on screen.
    I needed to quote myself here because a few of these things were resolved...a bit.

    1. Andrea reveals she actually liked the gladiator-esque entertainment and for the first time ever owls hunt in the morning.

    But seriously, this is the first time I ever felt as if Andrea actually had a human brain capable of more than being stupid. Her telling the Governor her true feelings about the entertainment and him actually gave her some personality. About damn time.

    2. Michonne still feels like a walking sword which is nice for action but does little for her as a person. However, seeing her standing around next to zombies without a darn thing happening to her was kinda awesome. Now that she's at the camp, hopefully she'll learn to smile or finish menstruating.

      I kind of knew that Rick was going crazy with the phone call. I wonder if Herschel figured that out before he picked up the phone and realized that there was no dial tone.

      I like the story they're putting behind Darryl. It seems as if they're portraying him as a good guy, and then Merle will be vindicated as a bad guy setting up for a brother vs brother; good vs evil scenario.

      I also like the new inmate that they've taken in.

      Sometimes its the little things that can make life normal in a situation like this.

      At first I didn't understand how Merle could of pulled a gun on them as they had their guns pointed at him. But as kingkilla pointed out.. they have never had to pull a gun on a live human being before and the element of surprise as well as rookie gunslingers gave Merle a fair advantage.

      That girl with the bow and arrow was really annoying. She seems delusional. Stating she's pretty good at shooting an arrow, and then can't even hit a slow moving walker. She couldn't even get the arrow to stick! And that comment about how she had to kill her dad for the bow made it even more creepy. It's like she killed him while they were humans.

      Also, I hate the storyline with the Governor and Andrea. It drags the show so much!

          That gives me another reason to not watch The Talking Dead on Sunday.

            Yeah, I don't watch the show either. But there are a few wrestling fans who watch The Walking Dead. Figured I'd throw the info out there.

                      I guess... I still don't like it though. They've been in this world long enough and seen that other people can be more dangerous than zombies. Even if they couldn't bring themselves to kill him, at least one of them could've shot him in the leg or something.

                            Here's what I don't get...

                            If Merle and Neal were going to head back to Woodbury, and Michonne was on the run, running away from Woodbury, then how did Michonne and Merle end up in the same place?

                            Logically there paths couldn't have crossed because Merle would've just turned around and gone back the way he came, and Michonne would've perhaps stumbled upon the little strip mall where Glen and Maggie were.

                            Between the Lori botch and this, seems like the writing is getting kind of lazy.

                                It's gotten to the point that I don't visit the forums on Tapatalk on Mondays because I haven't seen Dexter, The Walking Dead or Homeland and I don't want Tapatalk to ruin it for me.

                                I made a quick visit and saw someone post "Carol..." and I wanted to scream!
