Y U NO KEEL GOVERNOR ANDREA!

The governor knew that Andrea would come back, and the possibility of her killing him was definitely in his mind. I think I saw his eye open when Andrea got off the bed, it was all a test to see if she was truly loyal. The governor knows shes a good asset (no pun intended).

Episode 12 "Clear" was by far, my favorite episode in the entire series. There was just such depth to almost all of the writing. I almost cried when Morgan was talking about the zombie he refused to kill (his wife) was the ultimate death to his son, Duane. Michonne finally got some character development, and her interactions with Carl + Rick show a side of here that we never saw. Cried again when Carl's sole purpose of retrieving the picture was to show Judith, so she could know what her mother looked like. (Although he didn't care to find a picture of Shane.)

I was really amazed by the overall set of Morgan's town. The amount of detail and intricacy of his booby-traps will hopefully positively influence Rick's group into better fortifying future places. If you watched the Talking Dead segment, they explained more about Morgan's system that he had setup. He has one main control tower, with pulleys and ziplines to allow him to transport from roof to roof, across the makeshift battlefield. As well, he has different colored lines on the ground for different attack/escape routes. Truly amazing work.

I didn't like the last episode... mainly because it almost seems like filler.

1) How did they manage to travel ALL the way back to their home town and BACK in a single episode? In a single day? I got the impression from the last two seasons that they have been traveling quite a distance away from the town of the first season.

2) WHY did Rick think it was a reasonable thing to go on such a road trip for guns? The prison just got attacked by the Governor and he thinks a good idea is to go on a road trip and leave the prison vulnerable? This doesn't seem like a very smart decision. If it wasn't for the fact Morgan was hording supplies it would have been a waste of a trip. They would have had just as much luck looting another local police station.

3) It seems like a waste of an episode, and seems almost out of place. It's been nothing but build-up since the midseason started back up and then suddenly it's a roadtrip down memory lane.

I'm not saying it's a bad episode... but I don't think it was a very well placed episode. This should have happened before the attack on the prison and it would have made more sense. It still doesn't make much sense to go back to the home town though... it seems forced in my opinion. Clearly the writers wanted Rick to head back to his town at some point... but that seems like the worst possible time to do so. Really? A trip all the way back down memory lane disguised as a supply run?

Would have been an amazing episode if it was better written into the series of events. I can appreciate the episode, and I enjoyed what the episode alone accomplished(there was a ton of character development)... but I wish it they put a little more thought into the chronological placement of it.

In the first(or second) episode of the first season, when Rick gets out the hospital and goes to his house instead of finding his family he finds Morgan. A man and his son. In the last episode, for some weird reason he went back to his home town and was attacked by Morgan.

Holy crap! I remember him, but how the hell has he survived lol?

I agree the placement of the episode was quite bizarre, there were a few other errors in the episode too, but I honestly believe that the content/writing of the episode out-shined almost everything. Still don't get how Michonne climbed to the top of that buildings in 10 seconds and retrieved that picture in record time. And of course, that bright colored cat!

I think that was the first time I've ever seen Rick reload his magnum...

post.

The guy that wrote the last episode is going to write all of Season 4, so hopefully there was some sort of external error in the placement of the episode and it wasn't his fault.
