Yeah, this was probably one of my favorite overall episodes. However, when Lori dies I will cheer. MOST enthusiastically. She is a whoreish skank that was just pissed her little f*ckbuddy died. As for Carol: now I understand why her husband used to beat her. She, too, is on my 'list'... Daryl wasn't falling for her shenanigans, though.
Ranting aside, I thought it was especially interesting to see the helicopter flying around at the beginning. Now we know that there are still people out there--very capable people. I also loved Rick manning up becoming a true leader after all this time--he finally laid shit down for those tools. I just found it kind of funny that the group never questioned his decisions before (and he's made some terrible ones), but now, when he's legitimately trying to protect them all, they question him. Idiots. Daryl has been the only consistently enjoyable character. He's a boss. He knows it. They know it. We know it.
Michonne's 'debut' was pretty good. I'm really hoping her TV portrayal follows her comic portrayal. I am curious about something, though... Since Daryl (not T-Dog) is sorta/kinda 'with' Carol, I wonder if Michonne will start her romance with him (Daryl) instead of T-Dog? (those who have read the comics will know what I'm talking about.) It would make for an interesting character dynamic to have an ex-KKK/neo-nazi in a relationship with a black woman. /shrug
