The cast and creators of The Walking Dead always keep things very close to the vest, but if you aren’t caught up, or are particularly sensitive to anything “spoilery” be warned – some hints about the remainder of the season follow.

Crossing my fingers, I've seen some non-spoilery tweets from some critics saying this week's episode is the best of the season.

Doesn't matter. We'll still have posts about how stupid Andrea is, an unlimited supply of arrows, and why would anyone drive a car with their windows rolled down.

Andrea being stupid is just part of the show. Doesn't make the show bad.

Did they ever establish in the show just where exactly Rick is from? If we're going from the comics then it would be one hell of a drive from somewhere outside of Atlanta to outside of Lexington... given the whole zombie apocalypse thing.

Lennie James is a hell of an actor.

Never mind, the Grimes family is from a fictional Georgia town in the tv show, not Kentucky.

No doubt! If they dont get him for next season it is a shame. The 2 episodes he has been in have been incredible. Hope this isn't the last of him.

Great episode. I was worried about them stretching out the confrontation over all these remaining episodes. This was a really nice side episode with a great story so it didn't feel like filler at all. More of Andrea and the governor blah, blah would have felt like filler.

On the contrary, I thought Andrea was great during this episode! Didn't hate her at all.

Great stuff with Morgan and Rick. Hated just about every thing with Carl though, except for the last bit at the end only because it helped humanize Michonne finally.

It did take me some time to understand that they drove to Rick's hometown. I thought they were hundreds of miles away by now. And wouldn't Rick know exactly where the prison is, if they were that close? He was a sheriff.

Nitpicks. Whatever. Good episode.

Carl was pretty badass - stepping out and shooting the guy point blank.

I like to see everyone getting along. Michone said it nicely - "no more shit". That's pretty much what I want Merle and everyone to say. It's the zombie apocalypse and they're about to go to war with an entire town. Get over yourselves.

I also noticed how calm everyone is around the zombies now. There's a few close calls. But everyone knows how to handle them now.

Michonne magically has a personality?

The car suddenly being surrounded by zombies was a little weird. Zombies didn't gain the power to teleport until near issue 100 in the comics.

I don't remember Morgan at all. I spent the entire episode trying to picture him from season 1. Nothing.

He was in the pilot.

Holy crap, yes! Fantastic performance in a fantastic episode. I doubt we will see him again. They played up the differences in how Rick vs. Morgan survived to much. i.e. this is how it could have ended up for Rick if he wasn't a leader/survivor.

I really like his reintroduction on the show better than in the comic as well as how they dealt with Duane.

Not that this will help, but they covered it pretty well in this episode. After leaving the hospital Rick stumbled into Morgan's yard. IIRC, Duane knocked him out with a shovel. Later Rick, Morgan and Duane were holed up in Morgan's place at night. Morgan let on that his wife was a walker in the street. Rick gave him a rifle to take her out and went on his way. They showed Morgan's wife through the scope but not whether or not he shot her.

Did Lennie James lose some weight? It would certainly make sense for the character, but I'm sure it's something he wouldn't do for a one episode reappearance. I assume it was just a happy coincidence.

Seems like they need all the manpower they can get to go up against the governor. I think they should have picked up the lone hitchhiker. Anyway, that one walker in the cafe looked like Morgan's turned wife.

It's just those three. I assume they'll be as invincible in the show as they are in the comics.
