Really liked the episode. LIked how Rick needed Morgan to be able to come back from the cuckoo nest, because He could see himself being like Morgan one day, he needs to know he can come back from it.

Michonne can crack jokes and a smile,who knew?

I would say the show is in good hands then.

I have found that my enjoyment for this show has increased by leaps and bounds when I ignore all the nitpicky stuff that has many here up in arms. I am just rolling with it and am getting really entertained for an hour on Sunday night.

Great episode.

Yeah the wife thought the guy was important, because they focused on him. At least his back pack was!

That is how many of us dealt with the show 24. Move on from not seeing Jack take a piss or eat something, and just roll with it.

Comic readers.

I try, but it can be really difficult with this show.

Completely ignoring the gas issue and the fact they seemingly brought no gas with them, the logistics of this episode were REALLY bad.

We have been led to believe that they are now a couple hundred miles or so away from the original town. Also, wasn't the main road completely jammed which led to them finding the farm in Season 2. I guess they could find a back route that was not miraculously unjammed, but they would have no way to know that.

So we are to believe they took a roughly 400 mile road trip back to Ricks hometown without a clear path to get there, and no knowledge whatsoever on how many zombies or other dangers there were in the many months since they were last there.

I mean that is pretty silly. The "runs" were always a little annoying but it was always within a few miles if not walking distance. But this one would have been backtracking ALL the progress they have made so far. DUMB.

Wait until they get back to the prison and open the backpack. You'll find out that the guy was more important than they realized.

How is it dumb? They need weapons, and Rick knew of only one place to get them. They're at the point where they need to follow any lead they have, or they will be MURDERED. How exactly is that dumb?

You pulling numbers out of your ass like "They must be 400 miles away!" (When was this EVER stated?) is what's dumb here.

I want a midget to leap out of that backpack when it's opened.

It bugged me too.

Like the ones from Borderlands?

No, I want it to be the raincoat wearing, knife brandishing variety.

Excellent episode. I'm going to have to stop watching the 'previously on' though. As soon as they showed Rick on the walkie-talkie, I knew we'd see Morgan.

At least they refrained from showing Morgan, which would have been a bigger giveaway.

Second episode in a row where a character uses a motorcycle helmet as a disguise.

At least AMC was smart enough not to credit Lennie James in this episode. Alot of surprise special guest stars have been ruined by the opening credits.

I've gotten the impression that in between the farm and prison (the months they were on the move, alluded to in the Fall premiere), that they've been working their way around the general vicinity, so who's to say they haven't circled back to near their hometown?

I guess the question would be after the CDC went kablooie, would they have continued moving east or headed back into the woods where there would presumably be fewer zombies and more small towns?

They have to be fairly far from Rick's home town, or he would have known about the prison.

Who also co-wrote my favorite episode from Season 2, "18 Miles Out". If that episode and last night's episode are examples of where he's taking the show, things are only going to get better.

I was more bothered by the fact that Rick seems to have an endless supply of ammo for that gun, and the zombies in the cafe were dormant. I thought the zombies never stopped moving.

There are two kinds of zombies, the dormant kind and the "roamers".

Rick ran out of bullets mid-gun fight and had to use the one Michonne handed him.

And Zombies are dormant if there's no food in sight. Kirkman's zombies anyway. Hence why there's a zombie sitting down in front of a fence when Rick kills his first zombie in Days Gone Bye, or why the zombies are sitting in the bus when Rick rides by them with his horse. There's also the zombies sitting in the pews of the church quietly in "What Lies Ahead."

By the way, did anybody else noticed Bicycle Zombie on the stack of charred corpses?

It's made clear in 18 Miles out that they never go farther than they have to. Rick has a good knowledge of the area, so they wouldn't travel over a hundred miles for a whim.

Yeah, that's pretty hard to explain. A cop, not aware of a prison within a reasonably short distance of his hometown?
