@Brian54 - You had me 'til, "Zombies can't climb, right?"

But what about whatever men the Governor might have hidden in the wings that Hershel didn't see during his reconnaissance mission?  Remember how the Governor stealthily positioned his men in advance of taking down the National Guard guys?

Funny, that.  To me, the prominent sound of cicadas underscores the extreme thinning of the human population and the fall of industrial civilization. Gone are the sounds of motor vehicles, airplanes, and other man-made devices that formerly drowned out the cicadas, except at bedtime and in isolated locations.  The…

@Marcus Carab - please, don't hold back. 

And miraculously, no zombies ever squeeze in when the gate's opened for the vehicles.

I think Michonne gave the reason when talking with Merle: "If people die, it'll all be on your head.' Rick didn't want to make that call all by his lonesome.

Rick rapidly and accurately sized up the Governor (as he did with the two guys who walked into the bar in "Nebraska"). That's why he knew which buttons to push - "You're the town drunk who broke down my fence and tore up my yard" - and knew (in his heart) that giving up Michonne wouldn't prevent the Governor from…

Ah, so Rick's weapons-gathering trip to his hometown was his preparation for the upcoming meeting with The Governor, which Andrea promised to arrange before setting off in the prison group's car!

Duane's mama's so stank, she IS a walker. -er, she was.

Speaking of hearing gunshots:

Daryl and his incredible, self-replenishing quiver.  Surely, some salient percentage of arrows has been irretrievable or not reusable, resulting in dangerous attrition of his cross-bow fodder.

I don't recall the TV series' ever indicating Andrea was a lawyer - did I miss that?

Agreed.  Growing up with Merle gave Daryl plenty o' practice - and, no doubt, experience dealing with creeps who play dirty.

At least the Governor liquors you up before f'ing you (symbolically or otherwise).

(1) Agreed.
(2) Agreed. He proved today that he's still a menace…good thing badass Beth busted a cap in the ceiling!
(3) Yeah, I was praying Glenn had a condom in his back pocket.
(4) Funny thought.  But Hitchhiker Guy would have to crawl. I think dude was torn in half, like Bicycle Girl from the pilot ep.

Who the heck is Field?

The  Governor got there somehow - in some vehicle. Andrea didn't see it when driving from Woodbury to the meeting place.  And Hershel didn't detect it either, on his reconnaissance run. So either:..

Are you talking about Tyreese's sister, Sasha? No, she didn't get bitten….yet.

Were those the hitchhiker's clothes?
