great episode. I love how the group is getting more and more brutal and recless. Best seen when they were confronted with the new characters (prisenors) how Rick just kills the guy who poses a potential threat in cold blood, without eaven considering mercy as an option, and how he simply let`s another guy who poses a threat get eaten by a bunch of walkers.
I was disapointed that Hershel didn`t turn into a walker, and I am interested to see how the plot around his injury evolves.

Ok, again, more spoilers, and these ones are based on the loose connection between the comic and the TV series.

In the comic, Dale was alive and lost his leg in the prison. Since they had already killed him, they couldn't do that now so I guess they still wanted an old man to lose a leg. Now it will be interesting to see if they want him to die when the prison is under attack or if they want him to leave and survive for a while on just one leg after they escape.

As for Rick just letting the guy get eaten by walkers, I don't think that was what he had in mind. I think he chased the guy to try to save him, but when it turned into a choice between him or Rick, Rick saved himself. I think it will be interesting to see if the other two guys actually integrate themselves with the rest of the group or if they stay segregated.

"Sick" great. I think "Walk with Me" will top it though. Maybe not in terms of action but in story telling and plot progression.

There's so many people who think of TWD as a purely zombie show that they miss the point. It's sad.

Yeah, a lot of it comes down to the breakdown of society and the breakdown of ourselves as society breaks down. Again, there are some very interesting themes with that in the comics lately.

To be fair it was Allen's leg that was amputated before Dales', and he died from it. They could be mixing Allen & Dales stories with Hershal.
