With regards to this other camp full of bad guys how much do you all want to guess that Daryl's one-handed brother Merle Dixon will be a part of this group? We'll see Daryl making some hard choices soon.

I like it.

I disliked it precisely because it felt a lot like the usual political/cultural propaganda Hollywood likes to throw into its shows now and then, and ultimately had absolutely nothing to do with advancing the plot. It was a very awkward moment on the show. But then again Glen is such an awkward, useless character.

Good call

I hope not. That would be horrible writing. What are the odds that Merle made it to the exact spot they are? The odds are nearly impossible.

I am glad most political references fly over my head. Or perhaps others are just looking for them all the time? I took it as an old school country white man coming to terms with the fact that his daughter is in love with an Asian Man (not boy, which he referred to him as before) and realizing Glen may be the last chance he has to see Maggie with someone and maybe bear him a grandchild. So instead of urging Maggie to stay away from him like he had been, he gives him (and her) his blessing.

That is why they men patrol the woods every day.

That was Darryl's bike and gun.

I agree, but they like tying up loose ends.

When Randall mentioned the rape, he eluded to his crew not having the decency to kill the father.

Why was killing the father the decent thing to do? I don't get it.

Did they say they beat him or tortured him? Regardless if I watched both my daughters get raped and beated, I would probably want to be killed right on the spot. If not, I would be coming after and trying to kill everyone of them I could before they killed me.

I once found a hundred dollar bill on the ground in the mall. What are the odds I would find it before anyone else. Nearly impossible yet it happened.

Wait I thought they said they didnt kill the girls.

I think by making him watch and leaving them behind, perhaps presumably to die since I imagine they took all their supplies was worse then killing them.

I hope the father and the two teenagers find the farm and are on hand to get revenge on the other group for what they did to the daughters....

I can understand that. I guess there are various ways to look at it. The way Randall stated it, I thought maybe there was an obvious reason I missed.

//Very, interested to see how the Randall arc will unfold. I can't see how it will end well. They should have given him a mercy head shot while his foot was impaled. A few seconds before that he was aiming to kill Rick & crew.

But now there is more of an attachment, it is a harder call.
