The guy that got choked out didn't die. I think he just passed out because he was still breathing after he went out (or at least it looked it to me). The struggle in the bathroom was baffling to me also but the guy sleeping didn't wake up from getting yelled at so I can buy him waking up...and the people downstairs weren't alarmed when the other two guys were wrestling then so I can also buy that. However, NOTHING happened in this episode at all so it was still bad IMO.

I think at the end when Rick was hiding by the porch and you heard a walker and then a gunshot, that was the guy from upstairs in the bedroom turning. I guess I could have been the other guy too, what I am having a hard time with is every group of people are out to kill each other. Granted I haven't read any of the comics, but I would think there would be gangs for sure, but nobody is out to band together?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the guy coming back as a walker at the end was the dude on the toilet that Rick choked out.

While I liked the tension with Rick under the bed, the fight was pretty stupid. It appears that one guy was in his 30s, and the other was probably as old or older. They presumably have been traveling together for some time, and they're going to fight over a bed? Maybe if they're in their late teens or early 20s they do something like that in a fit of testosterone rage, seems a bit silly for middle age men to do this though.

it makes more sense for what you're saying. It opens up the story line of a new rivalry when they see one of their guys was killed by someone else.

But they've already killed their own rivalry by setting it up...who in the hell is going to believe that a rag-tag group of a few guys that chokes each other out over a bed is going to pose any real danger to the group in question, or even parts of it? At least Woodbury had some element of dangerous believability, even if it only came from the Governor and a couple of his henchmen. In point of fact, why would they even care that The Shitter Man was killed at all?

We'll get the bed fighters' back story in three episodes. Then the two random dudes actions will make total sense and the actual plot will not have advanced a bit.

Should have had Daryl feed Beth to that walker when he had that little break down. That would have made for a good episode. So much hype about this 2nd half of the season, that it was going to be really good and all. I think theres been maybe one decent episode, the rest were kind of "meh." They started the 2nd half with that slow developing snooze with Carl and Rick, not the way to start back up after a long break. I'm not sure what they're aiming for right now, but it seems like this prison separation has only been used to flesh out some character development and back story. Nothing of real interest is going on, and to make matters worse I think they're using too many story arcs. They need to kill some people off, or merge some of these stories soon. The only new development that I'm slightly curious about is redneck science boy's zombie cure (I still think he has no clue how to fix it, or it's going to turn out he overheard stuff on that govt channel and thinks he has a clue).

I find it humorous that people have speculated what Daryl did before the apocalypse for some time. Bounty Hunter, Military, Homicide Cop...only to find he didn't do anything but follow Merle. Kind of a let down, they could have at least made it something funny and out of left field. Kind of like...first season when Rick first meets Glen and he draws up the elaborate plan to get them out of the department store, then Rick asks what Glen did before the outbreak, only to find out he delivered pizzas or something.

I know exactly what they're going for. As many episodes as they possibly can. Who cares if there is no story line whatsoever as long as it fills an hour.

Sad thing is millions and millions of people still love this shit and can't see how bad the show has gotten...

I didn't hate last nights episode but didn't really enjoy it much either. At least I can tolerate those two characters more so than most of the others. Daryl's background was a big letdown though. Anyone else notice that when Beth got blood splattered on her at first it showed like one little spot on her new white sweater but then after she took it off the shirt UNDERNEATH was soaking in blood top to bottom?

I mean how could one like or hate it? It was 60 minutes of Beth looking for a chaser to follow her Rattlesnake sorbet. I thought there were episodes where nothing happened before...that was 60 minutes of pure nothing. Having Daryl kill a couple of walkers with a 6 iron does not constitute an interesting show. This is what happens when they start a show on a wing and a prayer for 6 (or 7, or whatever it was) episodes to see if anyone likes it, then decide they're going to turn it into a franchise...they didn't care about character arcs much when they didn't know if there was going to be a show, and now they are filling in all the soap opera stuff they should have done gradually over the first 3 seasons. It really makes for a frightfully boring hour on a Sunday night.
