1) run across a sexy farmer type (could have been hot for Glenn and been a real farm hand monster like some of the farm girls Ive met)
2) it doesnt hurt that her father is a religious fanatic and we know how their daughters usually turn out
geejay Glenn ol boy

A few random comments:
Well now that we (the audience) know that Lori's pregnant we can pretty much dismiss that as a theory as to what Dr. Jenner's "big secret" was to Rick. There'd be no point to having that be Jenner's secret to Rick only to have it revealed to us in a way that didn't involve Rick at all. With the way Rick is getting majorly depressed and entertaining ideas of wanting to stay where they are it's looking more and more like the big secret involved something doomtastic along the lines of "everyone's infected and it's only a matter of time before everyone's going to become a zombie with no hope of being saved".
With that little emotional speech Daryl made about the Cherokee Rose he's now pretty much my favorite character of the show. 
*** Spoiler alert based on what we saw in next week's preview ***
It'll be interesting to see how Daryl deals with seeing his brother Merle again now that he's had a chance to be away from that negative influence for a time.

Yeah it's not that slow pacing's been bad (because it's allowed for the story threads with both Carl and Sophia) but it's definitely gotten noticeable. If they don't get back "out on the road" again by next episode it'll be really weird.|

Agreed. It'd be pretty anticlimactic for Lori to go to Rick and say "I'm pregnant", and for him to say, "Yeah, I've known for weeks..." |

Plus, Lori would be pretty ticked, I'm guessing.Quote:

So I guess that means that pretty soon Carol is going to shoot someone to get Sophia back? I'm guessing it will be Shane (since he's the really annoying guy right now) and Maggie (since she's the romantic interest of the nerdy shy guy).
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

Hard to judge exactly since we only see Merle in the preview for like 2 or 3 seconds but I suppose it's completely possible that all we're going to get from him is a flashback of some sort. To be honest that'd make more sense anyway because it'd be hard to explain how Merle would have just been able to randomly find the group again like that. Having Rick find his family was enough of a miracle - having Merle also finding Daryl would be pushing it. |

I needed the Sophia thing to end last night. It's reached the limits of my interests.
Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

Well by dragging it on this long I pretty much "require" whatever becomes of Sophia to be really cool and/or amazing. If we find out she just ran off and has been sitting alone somewhere in the woods for the last several days with a twisted ankle I'm going to be vaguely miffed. |

I think the reveal will be that she was at the house and Daryl found her body in the ravine beyond the flower. The question will be whether she was dead or undead when he found her. The story he told about the flower implied pretty strongly that she's gone and he knows it.

I think the story about the Cherokee Rose implied that while it's completely probable Sophia is dead there's at least some hope that she may be alright in some form or fashion. It was an incredibly sympathetic way to tell Carol exactly what she needed to hear at that moment to comfort her. For him to be using a story like that as a means to avoid telling Carol the truth just doesn't really seem humanly possible unless you believe Daryl is totally sociopathic. Daryl is no-nonsense pragmatist - the last thing he'd do is be vague or indirect about reporting the death of Sophia to her mother.

Lori finds out she's pregnant.
We find out Rick was fixed, so it can't be his.
Jenner's secret to Rick was that Lori was pregnant.
Rick has been in denial and didn't say anything to her.
Lori confesses to Rick about sleeping with Shane and the pregnancy.
It all comes to a head. Drama ensues between Rick and Shane.
We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

Not really. Remember, they wrote that message on the windshield of that car, so anyone else, including Mere, who happened to be wandering down that seemingly main highway out of Atlanta could see it and lie in wait to ambush them when they return.

Because I think he feels pretty bad about it, and what he may have had to do and he doesn't want to break the news to her in such a harsh and realistic way. So, he tells the story about the Trail of Tears and brings her a Cherokee Rose that will represent Sophia eternal presence. He even leaves with that comment about how Sophia will "like it there". I think it's his way of saying, "I'm sorry, but your daughter is dead. I found the body." without having to actually come right out and say it. Besides, I think Carol understood what he was saying. The look on her face was on of sad gratitude. She knows Sophia is gone and Daryl just confirmed it. The one person in the group that was absolutely adamant that they would find her and she'd be OK.

After dragging this search out for three, or is it four, weeks now, we'd damn well better get some solid confirmation of that kid's fate.
My guess: she turns up with Merle next week.
