He didn’t stay to ensure that the group dies and he seemed to be thoroughly enjoying shooting his AUG semi-automatic gun. I think this attack by The Gov was just a warning of sorts. Now Merle is stuck with the prison group and it’ll be interesting to see if Rick, or whoever becomes the new leader of the group, allows Merle to stay at the prison.
The episode ends with Daryl and Merle saving Rick from a zombie attack and the prison yard being overrun with zombies. The Governor and his outlaws of Woodbury leave the prison after the zombie truck opens. It was a truly unexpected kill in the series, as we were just starting to learn more about Axel’s past and why he was in prison to begin with. During the battle, The Gov shoots Axel in the forehead, in an almost stylistic fashion. Secondly, Carol holding an M16 just doesn’t feel right. First, while Michonne is fierce with her katana, she can’t shoot a gun for shit. We learn a couple of things during The Gov’s attack on the prison. Then, the truck’s cage drops, unleashing the zombies into the yard. The Gov sends a truck filled with walkers crashing through the fences and into the middle of the prison’s yard. The Governor wages the rebuttal attack on the prison and it’s certainly a shocking one. Daryl has proven to be a true badass, take-no-crap-from-no-one character he’s grown tremendously since Season 1. Daryl takes a stand and it was definitely about time. The point of the bridge scene was to emphasize how Daryl isn’t going to be Merle’s puppet anymore, like he was as a kid. In the most gruesome part of tonight’s episode, Daryl slams the zombie’s head with the car’s trunk door. Daryl makes his way onto the bridge and helps two men fend off some undead, then pulls a zombie out of a car containing a woman and her screaming baby. I don’t think Season 1 Daryl would have helped, but Season 3 Daryl does the right thing. Meanwhile, Daryl and Merle come across a group that is fighting off zombies on a bridge. Secondly, they’re unlikely to survive on the road and the group will probably not be able to find shelter with all the supplies and security offered by the prison. For one, the prison is well fortified with barbed wire fences and locks, so as long as Glenn and company ensure that the walls are fortified, then the Gov and his people will not be able break through. They should neither go on the offensive nor run, but should stand at the prison and fight. In this situation, I think both Glenn and Herschel are wrong.
Glenn argues that their survival on the roads in the past was before they had a crying baby to attract walkers and an old man with one leg. He convinces Michonne to attack The Gov and the Woodbury settlement, but Herschel argues that the group should run. With Rick going nuts, Glenn steps up for the leadership position. I’m anxious to see how it plays out, because Kirkman could very well have brought Rick outside of the prison and away from the group for a purpose. I have to wonder if Rick’s vision of Lori has led Rick outside of the prison for a particular reason which will be revealed later in the season, while everyone else is stuck inside the prison. Will they pick a new leader, or will Rick snap out of it? (I actually thought that Rick going crazy would be more of an annoyance than anything, but I actually found myself sympathizing with Rick.) Secondly and more importantly, the group at the prison is becoming concerned that their leader has become fucking crazy. First, the audience feels sorry for Rick, as he has lost the love of his life. He’s still seeing Lori’s ghost (which Kirkman claims isn’t actually a ghost) around the prison. This time, though, Lori is first seen in the prison yard, and then outside the prison fences. The episode begins just as last week’s episode ended, with Rick seeing a vision of Lori in an all white dress. ***CONTAINS SPOILERS…WATCH THE EPISODE FIRST!!***
