Don't forget Rick's lesson learned when he picked up Randall: the kid was part of a larger, more dangerous group, and the debates about what to do about Randall nearly tore Rick's group apart.

Dale raised his head to the gun, after getting finger-gutted by a walker. And Jackie opted to take the Dr. Jenner exit route.

Some of Lennie's wall-scrawlings were like those of cavemen - who used them to document history and to communicate with others who might read them later.

What about crediting Michonne for creating armless/jawless camouflage/pack mules/company that helped her survive on her own?

I agree with all of the above, and add:

While Carl was leaning nonchalantly against the cafe door, I was thinking of the zombie at the Atlanta department store that picked up a rock to break the glass.  I guest the Atlanta zombies were smarter than the Kings County walkers.

The hitchhiker and Morgan represented two different types of dangers associated with going it alone in the zombie apocalypse.

I sooooo disagree with your second impression, that Rick and Michonne "convince themselves [the hitchhiker] is not real because they can't trust their own judgment."
 
…Neither Rick nor Michonne has a history of hallucinating strangers, so I doubt they feared the hitchhiker was a vision,…All three have learned, from…

Jenny gives new meaning to the phrase: "I brought you into this world, and I'll take you out!"

"Mat said welcome." Good one. Plus, it shows Michonne may be warming up, but she's still concise.

I don't think Michonne and Andrea had an affair; I think they had a sisterly bond similar to Carol and Andrea's.

I was hoping Andrea'd have her cake (stay at comfy Stepford-er, Woodbury) and eat it, too (kill the Governor) by shooting him in the head with his own gun, and stage it to look like a suicide.  After all, everyone has seen how off-the-rails he's become.

Word; Goldilocks Goes Gangsta.

It was revealed on THE TALKING DEAD that it was Andrew spying on Carol in ep. 3.2, "Sick".  However, I agree - both logically and based on the camera perspectives - that there are others who might have been - and are now - spying on the prison. Just as Rick and Tyreese's group found it, no doubt others have and will,…

RE: "I don't believe AMC gives a shit about the quality of the show as long as the ratings are strong."

That's what happened in Richard Matheson's 1954 book "I Am Legend". A new society arose, comprised of a hybrid breed of humans infected but not overcome by the vampire virus. The new society viewed both vampires and the original humans as enemies.

DETOUR OBSERVATION: For R, the zombie-with-a-heart protagonist in the film "Warm Bodies" (2013), breaking through a corrugated steel wall (to find his human lady love, Julie) was a piece of cake.

I think the dead guy's name is "Eisenberg".

Morgan and  Duane Jones; I'd like to see them again, too. But the zombie wife and the Vatos, not so much.

She said, that ain't the way to have fun, son.
