I'm willing to accept that's a remote possibility. But I also expect the brewing drama between Rick, Lori and Shane is probably going to be able to explode eventually regardless if you throw in the idea that Rick was "snipped" or not.

I'm sure they could explain how Merle finds the group if that's what the storywriters want to do, and the writing on the windshield could be one way to explain it. Still, I think that'd be pushing it just a bit as far as "pure luck" goes. Obviously we'll find out next week one way or the other.

I can accept that Daryl could come up with the Cherokee Rose story as a method to comfort Carol in her time of despair. But I just can't wrap my head around the idea of him using that story as a means to report that he knows for a fact that Sophia is dead. He just seems far too "down to Earth" and practical to be vague during a time when he would have direct news to deliver.|

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.

I just have to see this thing from my own personal point of view: if I knew for a fact that a mother's child was dead in this kind of situation and I was going to have to be the one to tell that mother that sad news I wouldn't use a vague anecdote, I would plain direct language. I simply can't imagine Daryl not being up-front about it.

Having Rick find his family was enough of a miracle - having Merle also finding Daryl would be pushing it.

Ive read on other sites theories that Merle will show up as a certain "big bad" type character that was in the Comic. (trying to avoid spoilers)

As for Merle becoming a "big bad" of the show I guess we'll start to find out next episode if that's where things are leading.

Merle, who has been tracking the group, finds the girl in the woods while she was making her way back to the highway. He manages to cover up his tracks well enough to keep them guessing while he waits for the oportune moment to get some quality time with his brother.
There, that's two birds, one stone.

Getting away from Merle momentarily, I just remembered something that stuck out in my head/slightly bothered me with this episode. Did anyone else find the "love" scene strange? Im also a big fan of heat of the moment, bedroom type activites, but getting it in on the floor of isle #2 of a store with the front windows knocked out and not having (I dont think) cleared the rear entrance/area? If my name was Glenn, Id be happy to be like Marvin Gaye and getting it on with lil ms healthy farmgirl too, but I think I would have opted for the offered sexual healing somewhere on the 200 acres of farm that seem relatively quiet.
I got it, you dont want to be any more disrespectful than you already are to her pops, but if Im going to anyways...Id rather be somewhat safe while showing Maggie my O face. Nothing says 'you absolutely deserve to die' like getting bitten by a zombie(s) while getting your freak on.
sidenote - Is it just me that always finds it amazing when British/Australian/Irish etc actors step on the scene in a US production and sound just like theyre "one of us"? Ive heard Rick and Maggie both do interviews now and theyre very British if Im not mistaken. Jolly good stuff.

Well not to take anything away from the moment of passion they shared but my guess is that Glenn, in all his youthful excitement, probably didn't "last" too long if you catch my drift. Sure it was a little silly for them to do it right in the middle of a public place where they might be attacked by some zombies, but then again it wasn't like they probably spent more than a few wild minutes at it anyway. |

There's a lot we don't know about the Merle/Daryl dynamic. Did they get along at all? Was Daryl just incensed about Merle being left behind because that's who Daryl is vs. actually caring about Merle? Is there something more, like Lothic pointed out in that double entendre? (One word: Ewwww!)|

Just based on what we've seen, I've pictured Merle as the dominant, overbearing older brother, essentially making Daryl's life miserable. Daryl felt some responsibility towards Merle; hence the anger when he was told Merle was left behind. Afterwards, he doesn't seem too concerned that Merle is gone. Maybe he is realizing that he is better off without Merle?
If this is what's occurring, it'd be a real shock to Daryl if it is actually Merle that he sees vs. a hallucination, ZombMerle, etc.
I find your lack of signature disturbing.

You gotta give him props though; he was making solo trips into Atlanta. That takes some courage, to keep going back to a zombie wasteland.

I think what we've seen of Daryl shows us that he's generally just a more thoughtful, level-headed person than his brother Merle. It'll be interesting to see what kind of relationship they had as brothers (and no, I don't mean the "Ewwww" kind of relationship this time) and whether or not their time apart has made Daryl more independent and less likely to agree with Merle's craziness.|

I'm all for Glen getting more screen time. To me he is one of the more interesting characters. And when the zombie apocalypse comes you take it when you get it. Besides I rather think Maggie's grandpa is the shotgun toting type. That rules out doing it at the farm.
