I'm loathing Shane more and more as this show moves along. Is there no new low he's not capable of stooping down to, honestly?! That having been said, I'm not sure that I would have even THOUGHT of doing that but in the situation considering how little ammo they had at their disposal, it was the only way. But i have a question. How did the walkers not wipe out wild life like the deer that was involved in the whole Carl getting shot?

I wondered that myself MK…then it came to me, the guy who hacked his hand off will show up with the little girl……I assume they will bring him back at some point to add more drama into the mix……I'm enjoying this show a lot….

I would like to ask Merle what the sound of one hand clapping sounds like.

Or , if he did save Sophia, would they all give him a hand?

Now, I know some of you have wondered about this. Let me see a show of hands.

(rim shot here)

Anyways, yeah I've been wondering about Merle ever since they went back for him and that panel van got stolen. Got to admit, I couldn't stand Merle and was happy to see him go. But if they're going to bring him back, wouldn't it ruin the dynamic they have with the currect crew? We know what a great tracker Daryl is, so it wouldn't be too far a reach to believe he learned some of his tricks from Merle. How on earth are they possibly, REALISTICALLY going to explain his surviving the roof top? For that matter why didn't the zombies eat his hand?

Well like in all movies/shows where the person loses a hand…Merle will no doubt construct a usable and functioning hand out of wood/metal/clay or something else (maybe even steal a bionic hand from a hospital or rehab place he no doubt ran past), and we shall see him with a new prosthetic hand when he does return….

Wonder if he will have it molded/sculpted to give the middle finger. Now, that would be hilarious /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I think if he does return it will be as the antagonist. A few episodes at most.

Well the upside would be it'll be easier to use a touch tone phone…

Merle will go at it with Shane. Dueling psycho's.

And hopefully they off each other, have no use for Merle and I just find my face curling into a sneer everytime he comes on the screen.

SPOILER ALERT FOLLOWS:…*********************************************************************************************************

I think Merle's coming back next week….saw something in the coming attractions but it's been awhile since I've seen Merle so not sure if it was him or not.

No suprises with homegirl being preggers, saw that coming since the doctor at the CDC did the blood tests.

Thought the walker in the well sequence was kind of predictable…my father was a cop for some time and he says next to domestic violence calls, he hated having to fish floaters out of the water because how badly water ravages the human body. I won't get graphic but he described scenes very similar to what happened to that zombie.

Is Daryl getting sweet on Sofia's mother or is he just trying to do the right thing by her? Also what are we to believe from the house he investigated where he found the tin of sardines in the trash and the bedding in the fully stocked pantry?

Monkette said it best, too much talking not enough zombie killing!

Disappointed by the latest show, seems like they're in a holding pattern………i think the hidden walkers at the end are family members that they're hoping there's a cure to save them.
