You pretty much rebutted your comment for me. Thanks.

Damn it all!

Whafever you say man. I watch the show because it's brilliant, but if you think it's crap then hey, whatever floats your boat.

The love goes down the more you post it.

I said awww.

Is the dog racist too?

For the record, I'm not a cop and I don't work in law enforcement.

I vaguely know that there are two prisons within 100 miles of where I live. I have never been to either of them, nor do I know their exact locations. And, Rick, being a cop in a small town, has probably never been to that prison.

As such, I wouldn't necessarily think a prison would be a good place to bug out to in the event of a zombie apocalypse. Prisons are big places, filled with bad people, and if you only have less than a dozen people and a finite amount of weapons, the prison probably isn't going to be the first place you run to. It's one thing to stumble upon an abandoned prison; it's another to go there as a destination not knowing what you're going to find.

I see Rick and Michonne having sexual relations before too long - she's giving Rick the googly-eyes, and Rick is detecting it (as all men do when women give out the "vibe").

I didn't realize a deep stab wound to the chest with a large pirate-sized knife is simply a flesh wound and no big deal. Hmmm... seriously, good thing he's going back to a doctor, because that would likely get infected real fast, and Rick is already half delerious and delusional - a fever from infection on top of his madness will turn him into Morgan.

Out of all the possible things to nitpick this is the one that stood out to me. That was a deep stab wound right by his shoulder and he pretty much just shrugged it off. Then I pretty much shrugged it off too. It's a fun tv show.

But, but, from Carl's viewing angle he should have seen Michonne's toy pony thing in her hands! Why didn't he point it out before Michonne revealed it while they were walking, since she shouldn't have been able to run and hide both items behind her back for so long? I want answers! Did she take lessons from Penn and Teller? Did she hide it around the corner and discretely pick it up so Carl could be properly surprised? Why exactly did she like it? When did she notice it? Will she give it as a present to Andrea?

I demand answers on the toy horse cat! Why hasn't the writers shown Michonne's cat fetish previously?

Does the return of Morgan explain the disappearance of Tyrese?

Do black men cost more or less than they did in 1865? I'm guessing more by this show ...

Brutal that they didn't pick up the hitchhiker. Is this suppose show how much humanity Rick has lost?

Tyrese hasn't disappeared.

I was wondering why Morgan was knocked out cold for what seemed hours for getting shot in the torso while wearing body armor. In the pilot, Rick took a bullet to the chest that was stopped by his bullet proof vest and was up and walking seconds later.

Tyrese is at Woodbury, trying to side with The Gov and giving him details about the prison. The scene was just a minute or two.

I believe sarcasm was used in Abob's statement.

It's not that - it's "kill or be killed" now. And it wasn't only Rick who bypassed the hitchhiker - only Carl looked back, but only out of curiousity, not out of concern.

Would you risk your life and the life of your people to risk being ambushed by the hitchhiker and his buddies hiding? You can rationalize and say that he was obviously alone, but in the day-and-age of Rick and his cohorts, rationalization is a luxury they can barely afford.

It's pretty obvious that in the pre-zombie apocalypse days, Michonne was the editor of Cat Fancy magazine! Given her personality, it makes perfect sense and it also explains the katana.

True but if he had buddies lying in wait, he left them in the dust when he sprinted down the road.

A bullet from a sniper rifle will leave the driver of the car in the dust if they did have an ambush planed.

We know there was no ambush because they would have been shot when the got out of the car to get it unstuck from the mud.

The hiker represented "if the teeth don't kill you the bullets will" (either the zombies will kill you or other people will kill you - physically or by neglect)

Except that they would have to get into position way the hell down the road, since the hiker was running for a while to catch up to them. Assuming there's a group of them (and that they even have a sniper rifle).

Judging from the posts here, I expect all of you to reign supreme upon your fiefdoms if the real zombie apocalypse ever arrives.

You could argue Rick was shot from a distance and Carl shot Morgan point blank. But the real answer is: TV.
