In reply to Cheryl MacManus. Sad, but true. Still wish there had been a way to keep him around.

In reply to Austin Whitlock. Season three suffered the same plotting problems the first half of season two did--they took too long to reach a conclusion we already knew would happen. There was no way they'd kill off the entire prison group. Likewise, Phillip is too good of a bad guy (or had been until he hit stereotypical sociopath land) to just kill off without any fireworks. They killed Andrea too early and didn't really do her justice, even with her determination to neutralize herself in those last moments. There was not one thing that made me sit up and wonder, How long will it take for October to be here already?

In reply to Removed Account. Thanks. It was a seriously painful episode to watch, and I like to think I'm pretty numb to just about anything AMC can throw our way.

In reply to Carrie A Thompson. But you have to admit, they used him well and he made a heck of an impact on every single one of the main characters, even if they don't discuss it openly.

Truth be told, no he would have never fit in. Even at Woodbury he was the outcast. He relied on himself to much.

NOTE: a lot of spoilers of Season 3! I think the Walking Dead is starting to slowly unravel into a horrible show. The last couple of episodes were boring IMO. After they came back in Feb. they had a couple good episodes with the rescue of Daryl and Merle and Daryl temporarily leaving with Merle only to come back in time to help with the battle at the prison. Then things started to die down. Andrea visiting the prison, Rick, Michonne, and Carl going back an finding Morgan, Everyone preparing for war. Then they had Merle planning at first to give Michonne to the governor and later letting her go and went to attack the gov. and his men. Then Merle died. I think they could’ve expanded this character so much more, eventually becoming a welcome member of the group and caring for the group as well as Daryl. I was extremely pissed that he was killed off. Then, the season 3 finale was a let down in my opinion. Including enough footage of the governor, his men, as well as Rick and his group firing weapons long enough to fit in the trailer to excite the fans. We got almost an hour of Andrea screwing around with pliers and talking to Milton, a little of action with The Gov. and his group storming the prison, Carl shooting one of the govs men, Carl dissing Rick (which I LOVED), the Governor killing most of his soldiers, and the addition of 3 group members along with Andrea dying. Her death seemed like complete bullcrap seeing as how she took off 3 zombies a couple episodes earlier in her attempt to get to the prison. Now They have a bunch of what I’m sure will be complete zombie/bullet fodder. The Finale should’ve had more action in it! It’s the one telling the viewers “This is why you should watch season 4 this fall!”

Nicely done, Renee! This was the best and worst episode to date. I loved it and hated it. Nobody will ever be able to convince me that Merle wasn’t taken away too soon. *shakes fist at AMC*

If Merle had survived, I think he would have eventually fit into the group at the prison, at least I had hoped he would have. They brought him back and then took him out, not cool. 🙁
