Was there an explanation of what exactly the "red zone" was?

No.

Was there an explanation of what exactly the "red zone" was?

No.

I just assumed that the zombies are thicker in a particular area, and the scouts from Woodbury know that because they know the countryside.Although if they knew the countryside that well, and Michonne was able to stumble upon the prison by pure luck after starting at a store that must have been near Woodbury, they should have found and colonized the prison while Rick's group was out looking for Sophia.

First Shane and now Daryl? My wife will probably stop watching the show if this happens.

For those who were totally sober while watching last night's episode, did they explain how Michonne managed to find the prison? Or why Merle showed up at the grocery store a few minutes after saying he was going back to Woodbury? It seemed like the writers were lazier than usual last night, but maybe I wasn't paying attention very well.

They went out of their way to have Glenn and Maggie discuss how the prison was just up the road. Michonne saw them arrive, so she knew which direction to head.Merle was looking for a car to drive to Woodbury.

Correct. I assume Maggie will filling in for that role. Doubt they will go as far as they do in the comics though.

It amazes me how every week they make Andria's character even worse. She was so good in the comic...

The way they tied the two groups together was great, especially with Michonne, gonna be a good episode next week.

VERY on both points.When Andrea and the Gov went to his room and started yapping, I switched to the game and Amazing Race and kept checking back until the scene was over..

Loved the way Microne found out that if you stink like one, they leave you alone.. and Ricks look seeing her standing next to the Zombies was great.

They did this in season one didn't they? Rick, Glen, and Daryl (I think) hacked up a walker and walked through a group of walkers until a thunderstorm hit, washed the decayed meat off of them, and they had to climb a fence to get away

 

[packersfan]

Just cut all the rest of it and show Maggie walking around sweaty and killing zombies, please.

She's seriously hot. Thought it was a solid episode. It's clear they're trying to put all the pieces in place for the inevitable Rick-Phil showdown. I'm getting antsy for it to occur now that Michonne has finally hooked up with the prison survivors. I want to see Rick, Daryl and Michonne in full-out kill mode.

they did.. But I just liked how she accidentally stumbled upon that after gutting the zombie who was trying to take her out.

 

[Mario Kart]

If Michonne can find the prison in a day or so, they are not far from Pleasantville. A quick car ride or something. She can lead them back but on the other hand, those prison fences could not hold a swarm of zombies at bay. Surely the weight of them would collapse the fence. Bye bye prison.

Yeah, the Gov and Andrea flirting :X , other than that pretty good episode

Agreed, solid episode and looking forward to the next few weeks. Didn't need the flirting, was so uncomfortable to watch. Wasn't real fond of Merle pulling the gun on Maggie and Glen either. I know it was a means to an end, but neither of them shoots when they already have their guns drawn? Merle may be fast, but based on what had happened before, Glen should have shot first.

i think that was the point. it was showing that Glen is not at the level of some of these other guys who can kill another human in cold blood. and i think we have to see some people die with the finale, and i won0der if darryl may bite it. they have taken his character far, and it seems Rick and him are going to get Glenn and Maggie. i can see something where darryl has to choose between Rick and the governor's group, and Darryl ends up sacrificing himself to help Rick's group out. i know they played that card already with T-dogg, but it seems like a natural progression for him

Nah...Darryl will have to choose between his brother and Rick...he kills his own brother.

No kidding."Rick? Where were you?""I was clearing out the bodies in the block. Then I took a shower and hit the mall."

No, he had very good reasons to not trust Merle and it wasn't in cold blood. But even still, his darling wifey can be just as cold blooded as necessary, knew that Glenn thought he was a threat and probably knew a little about him from storytime. No way she doesn't fire on him at the first hint of a threat. Hopefully they have more in store for Daryl. He's long been creeping up as the pragmatist with a conscience. He'll save the group no doubt, but my guess is by either killing his brother or leaving him to the zombies. Just like in the comics.

WHAT THE HELL MAN?! Are you serious with this crap?!

This. I think Daryl will be on the fence, then Merle kills Carol which then leads to crossbow arrow through the eye.

Yeah, Michonne's light bulb moment seemed kind of odd to me.With all the killings she's done, you'd think that fact would have sunk in by now.

Merle's days are numbered. Whether it be Michonne, Rick, Daryl or the Gov (who won't be too pleased when he finds out Merle lied about Michonne being dead) I don't think Merle makes it past the mid-season break.

Should be interesting to see how the Governor responds when Michonne shows up with Rick.

 

[packersfan]

Not sure if this was mentioned but I thought it was very cool that the voices Rick was talking to on the phone were many of the cast members who have been killed. Not just Lori, but Amy, Jim and Jacqui. Andrew Lincoln said on "The Talking Dead" that all of the actors who played those characters actually called him on phones for the scenes so he was directly talking to them. Very cool.

True.. But she may have believed that the zombies themselves were the deterrent and not the smell. either way the disembowelment and gut splattering scene was worth it.

 

[packersfan]

The Daryl-Carl scene was great. Daryl's trying to reach out to Carl and bond with him by telling him how his mother died in a fire she caused. Carl's all blank face and basically tells him "F that, I had to shoot my own mother in the head. Top that."

They went out of their way to have Glenn and Maggie discuss how the prison was just up the road. Michonne saw them arrive, so she knew which direction to head.Merle was looking for a car to drive to Woodbury.

Maggie mentioned something about walkers along the fences so there were clues. Rick must have really good eyesight, because he was a good distance away when he seemed to notice Michonne. I suppose they'd say either the red from the basket or the silhouette of a human shape carrying something got his attention.

 

[mr roboto]

So does Michonne dislike all people, or just the Woodbury people?

 

[packersfan]

There were three references to the prison that I heard and all of them were provided with Michonne clearly in the frame. So she definitely heard them.

Could be Daryl is filling Andrea's role from the comic book.

 

[netnalp]

So does Michonne dislike all people, or just the Woodbury people?

I think she likes people, just cautious. But something about Woodbury didn't feel right and she wanted to get out ASAP. If she didn't like people she wouldn't have bothered to find the people at the prison. Sure she's hurt but it doesn't seem bad enough that she couldn't take care of it herself. Unless the bullet is still in her leg. I thought it just skimmed her. I see Michonne as a modern day Lancelot or the lone gunman characters Clint Eastwood used to play.

Difference is she knows it's there from Glenn & Maggie's conversation and that there are people there. Rick's people didn't know there was a prison there and the movement of the zombie herd seems to have dictated where they went. Sounds like the prison is in the are the Woodbury people call the "Red Zone", and don't go there, too many biters.

They must have tracked Michonne pretty far away. In the woods before killing the Hispanic guy, Merle said they needed to find a car to get back. They were far enough that he felt it would be faster to search for a car they could use instead of walking back. I think Merle showed at the shopping center because he was looking for a car.

They aren't in the comics, but I've read they are being added to them due to how popular they are on the show. "Daryl Dixon is a fictional character from the American television series The Walking Dead portrayed by Norman Reedus. He is an original character and has no comic counterpart. He has become immensely popular since his first appearance, and as such, is being brought into the comic series.[1][2]"

"The Dixon brothers are unique to the show in that they do not exist within the continuity of the comic series."
