> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > Sorry, I have no clue what your problem may be. You’ve mentioned the comic, and even though nearly everything is different, and even though the Governor has been shown to be a murderous ass, just mentioning the comic sends the spoiler babies into a hissy fit. For those getting all butthurt, Glenn & Maggie were never captured by Merle and taken to the Governor in the comic book, so that’s pure speculation. For the comics readers:I chose my words carefully. I know Glenn was captured by the Governor, but not ‘Glenn and Maggie’. ---

Merle still has a part to play, they just couldn’t kill him off at this point. Didn’t they (in coming attractions) show a shot of Maggie being held prisoner at Woodbury? If they shot Merle, that wouldn’t be happening. ---

I loved this episode - Michonne is such a bad ass! I’m hoping this develops into a rescue mission with Rick’s gang and Michonne teaming up to get Glen and Maggie back. During which, they’re obviously going to encounter Merle and Andrea. This is really getting good. ---

> [@salinqmind](#): > > Merle still has a part to play, they just couldn’t kill him off at this point. Didn’t they (in coming attractions) show a shot of Maggie being held prisoner at Woodbury? If they shot Merle, that wouldn’t be happening. I agree that it was necessary to capture Glaggie to forward the plot and I don’t think Merle should be killed off yet. Especially since this is going to force Daryl to choose between Rick’s gang and family. But, I’m just not happy about how the capture went down. Also, how did Michone find the prison so quickly? Glaggie got there by car - no way to track that. Did they say something that Michone overheard? And, badass or not, she’s gotta reek. Nothing like disemboweling a walker all over yourself to blend in. ---

> [@brewha](#): > > Also, how did Michone find the prison so quickly? Glaggie got there by car - no way to track that. Did they say something that Michone overheard? Yes; when Glenn first goes into the store, Maggie asks him to “get that duck,” presumably a toy she saw inside, and explains, “A kid growing up in a prison could use some toys,” which Michonne clearly overheard (the scene is actually shot from behind Michonne, and we see her watching Glenn and Maggie). I don’t think it’s outside the realm of plausibility that Michonne was able to figure out where the prison was, starting by backtracking the direction from which they drove in. Also - _Glaggie_? Please don’t do that. ---

Why didn’t they just pull the trigger? Both of them. Repeatedly. Yeah yeah, draws walkers. But, they hop in the Suburban in beat feat while Merle bleeds out. I just had a real hard time accepting that. [Hits ‘+1’ button] Just when I thought our crew was done doing stupid things. ---

> [@gytalf2000](#): > > I missed most of this episode – did Michonne and Merle have a physical confrontation? Merle and 4 other guys go out into the woods to hunt her down. She leaves a biter gram that says “go back” in zombie parts. One guys says something like, “It’s not like one woman will pop out of the woods and take down 5 armed me”. Then, she jumps out of the woods and takes out 3 of em. Pretty badass. Definitely worth finding a way to watch it. ---

Pretty badass. Definitely worth finding a way to watch it. > [@Joey\_P](#): > > Minor scuffle. 😃 Bit of a spat, yeah. May be worth noting for future reference that Michonne took a bullet to the leg from Merle, and she’s responsible for his bloodied (broken?) nose. On other matters, what’s the feeling on Rick’s current state of mind? Did the “phone calls” help him clear his mind (so to speak) and move on from Lori’s death, or is he still dangerously close to losing it entirely? He at least seems to be able to interact with the others again. ---
