But I still don't think that is the path they are taking with him.

I really hope they're not going for a face turn here. Once you superkick your buddy through the barbershop glass, you'll always be at least a little bit bad.

Why has Michonne suddenly decided to speak aloud instead of just pout and scowl? Has Rick abandoned farming entirely or is he still tending to his gun garden?

No the virus wasn't cured. The medicine was used to treat the symptoms so that they could naturally fight off the virus.
You say you know that Hershel has a prosthetic leg, and yet you still ask the question? Or maybe you under-estimate how well people can move on those things. Hell, Oscar Pitorius was able to run a relay race and shoot his girl in the face with one on. And don't forget, quite a bit of time has passed since the last season. So he'd have time to learn.
Michonne, same deal. Quite a bit of time has passed. She couldn't stay tight-lipped forever. She had already started opening up at the end of last season too. Granted she's been out hunting the Governor quite a bit too, but still...
As for Rick, who knows. He's nuts lol.

That seems to be yet one more dumb decision in a series of many (fortify the fences, dummies) that members of Rick's group take on a daily basis. How some of these people have survived for so long defies explanation.

Hershel is a healer, that's what he does. He is the tether to humanity. He's the moral compass. He's the village elder.

Ya but it was a bad freakin move. When your one and only human doctor is clearly infected, the last thing you do when your the only remaining person with advanced medical training is wander into the hot zone yourself.

So based on preview for next week's episode, absolutely nothing has changed from last season.

Maybe Rick's crew will be forced out of the prison? I don't know if I could watch a whole nother half season of Governor plots to attack the prison.

I think Pete looks like Shawn Horcoff.
Next week's episode looks like it may be a good one.

Meh, dunno if I like that they are jumping so quickly back to the Guv attacking the prison again. We just saw that.
Are they running out of ideas or what?

If you really want to know...This is my personal opinion, but it is based off my knowledge of the comics.

Didn't a new director take over this season? If so I think that explains why the Governor is re attacking, the Director didn't like the way last season ended.
Makes sense to me, spend half a season un doing what your predecessor did. Then he can go where ever he wants from there. He culled a large part of the population with this virus while giving us a new twist on how tough life would be without society in tact.. so it makes it more realistic that this smaller group with the Governor could attack a fortified prison.. especially with a fricken' tank.

Yes, they are running out of ideas.
They've been out of ideas since season 1 it seems like.
I mean, the guy has the same freakin' gun.

I'm stupid so can someone explain the scene where The Governor takes off with his new family in the middle of the night because the new camp is unsafe but they run into the zombie road and then they end up back at the camp? Was this scene just trying to show that nowhere is safe and that is why The Governor decides to take over the new camp?

Zombies in the quicksand blocked off their exit, so they were forced to turn around. So then the Governor decided instead of escaping in the middle of the night, he'd take over leadership of the camp to fortify.

I wish they didn't feel the need to rush back to the prison (based on next weeks previews) but it's kinda interesting that they're doing the Governor story properly this time.

But those people (except for one) weren't part of the prison group during the last attack. Except for one character, they were all extras who came over from Woodbury AFTER the attack. It's basically the exact same group. I guess Glen and such could still be ill, but we'll see.
And so what, he's got a tank. They actually had combat vehicles last time, they just never used them. Maybe they couldn't fuel them, I dunno. They did a pretty good job of ramming open the outer defenses with the 'zombie bomb' anyway.
I just don't like it. What's supposed to be different this time? And if something does end up wildly different, like they are teasing on the preview, there's a good chance it won't make much sense. Basically it's a much smaller group making an attack they tried before and failed. Why would they succeed this time?
