Yup, the Merle subplot surprised me in more ways than one. The writers did a fine job there. Good semi-reedeming ending for him.

I saw part of it coming (the attempt to kill the Gov), but the humanizing bit was a shocker. I agree it was very well crafted.

Yup. That got me.

Too bad Daryl is unlikely to find out what Merle tried to do.

Disagree. He's a good enough tracker to figure it out. Failing that, if he's not blinded by rage he'll go back to the group and Michonne will tell him.

That is what I am thinking, kind of a teaser that Michonne is staying with the prison gang in the next weeks previews.

Michonne had more dialogue this show then almost all other episodes put together, she seemed almost talkative.

I didn't say impossible....but I think some people (including the TV producers) exaggerate what tracking can do.
Daryl would obviously be able to determine Merle was shot and might infer that the fact it was a chest wound was deliberate. That doesn't mean he will naturally attribute the shot to the governor.
The best bet is one of the governor's surviving henchmen will tell Daryl during a confrontation -- or that the governor will -- after Daryl beats the blimpin' snorts out of him.
Michonne might guess but I don't think she really knows just how Merle went out of this world.

Once you're OK with the idea of zombies, really awesome tracking shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

Wonder if the prison gang will still be at the prison when The Gov. attacks - in the quick preview scene I thought I saw The Gov.'s group take out a prison watchtower with a grenade launcher, which is some significant firepower.

I saw the same thing with a grenade launcher.

From the short preview clips, I'm thinking trap for the Governor's crew.

Jamisjockey · « **Reply #60 on:** March 25, 2013, 05:25:38 PM »

Open prison to walkers
Turn genset with alarms back on.
Bail out.

Possibly include some kind of IED trap.

I thought it was Rick with the launcher, which woulld play with the trap idea.

Always wondered why Rick's Army of Misfits didn't pull a SpecOps raid on the town. Ninja Michonne, Darrel the Archer, the suppressors, the knife skills...they could pull off a pretty quite raid and do some significant damage in a hit-and-run raid.

TommyGunn · « **Reply #62 on:** March 25, 2013, 07:37:07 PM »

All's I can say (and I watched the follow-up show "Talking Dead" which had a slightly longer preview) is that Rick & his minions would be smart to set the prison up as a trap for the governor's militia....let 'em in, slam the door and spring the SURPRISE!

But do they have the smarts to pull it off?

RocketMan · « **Reply #63 on:** March 26, 2013, 12:42:14 AM »

RocketMan's Walking Dead Season Finale Episode Predictions (with some wiggle room)

1) Rick's crew bugs out, leaving some traps behind at the prison for the Guv's assault team. They get out just in the nick of time before the Guv arrives.
2) The Guv hits the prison after Rick's crew is gone. The traps left behind are somewhat effective. (Jawless zombie with rifle-like object tied to him trapped inside the guard tower for a decoy? Other jawless zombie decoys?)
3) Daryl figures out the larger part of what happened to Merle, and that the Guv is responsible. He makes his way back to the prison just in time to find the Guv and his crew in full assault.
4) Daryl manages to snipe a few of the Guv's crew and ultimately kills the Guv. The Guv knows it was Daryl that killed him.
5) Daryl may survive and escape to successfully track Rick's group and rejoin them, or may not survive after killing the Guv. Don't know for sure, but a main character almost has to die. It is the season finale, after all.
6) Andrea either dies from being tortured by the Guv (no real loss there), or she is left horribly and permanently disfigured, but manages to take on some leadership role in what remains of Woodbury after the Guv is croaked. Again, don't know for sure on this one for the same reason as five. Maybe we get a twofer main character die off.
7) Rick's group moves on down the road to the next season, making no attempt to find Andrea.

8) The last scene is of Zombie Guv wandering around the remains of the prison.

I can by that, Rocketman.
You should send the producers a nasty letter if they do it different.

Fire. I believe they should have torched woodbury early.

K Frame · « **Reply #66 on:** March 26, 2013, 09:21:48 AM »

They couldn't have torched Woodbury and killed the gov.

It would have ended the season early.

mtnbkr · « **Reply #67 on:** March 26, 2013, 09:50:59 AM »

Yup, would have been like killing Mags Bennet mid season.

Wait...

The Guv is Mags Bennet.

Wormy eyeglasses guy is Dickie

The tea is really Apple Pie!!! :o

Not in the season finale. Too many plot doors close if he's taken out now.

I remember that song, awesome!

Anyway, it was a great episode. I actually felt bad for Andrea.

I thought Carl was right to shoot the guy.
The guy was told to drop the gun, he didn't...it looked to me like he was going to try some kind of trick.

Man, the gov needed to die. You know he is coming back next season to do something dastardly.
