Like a few here I thought the writers got lazy with the Merle/Darryl fight. Why even include the scene at all if they just do what they did? Just for the mid season finale build, that's why. Also why does Merle beat on Darryl just to go back to back with him and punch some zombies. Makes no sense. It doesn't change their situation, why beat him up? Would have made sense if he fooled everyone somehow or used it to bring the Governor into the fight but meh. And why doesn't the Governor just shoo them both when they team up. The whole scene was a mess. Not too mention it was another surprise save by the prison group.
Rest of the show was ok, but a little slow. Would feel much different about that had the beginning been really cool, or even just made some sense, but altogether it seemed to show the episode missed it's mark.
That being said I'll be watching it for a while yet, last time I was about to drop it they had the big barn scene which was amazing, so I believe there is still some great episodes to come.
