TWD S3E10- Such a good episode, a top five of Season 3

Warning: Spoilers
Merle & Daryl are off hunting for food, Daryl saves a couple guys and woman and child from walkers, tensions start to rise between the Dixon bros., most of which Merle shrugs off or takes with a pinch of humour. But Daryl ends up deciding that he will go back to his other family; however, the end of the episode goes a route that while isn't in the slightest unexpected, is pretty awesome. Merle and Daryl both going back, saving Rick, and helping them fight off the horde of walkers that have been brought in by.. you guessed it, The Governor. He just guns down Axel like bam, thus another of the gang-newest member or not-gunned down. The numbers are wearing thin. Rick continues to "see" Lori, I think anymore of that and it becomes a bit irritating. Glenn takes it upon himself, third in command, to be their leader while Daryl is off, and while Rick is... off in a different kind of way. Maybe their best bet is to leave this goddamn prison, no? We'll see.

One character who I simply don't like whatsoever, whose face even bugs me at this point, is character of Andrea. Michonne is way too intelligent to have paired up with her. Thinks she gun down walkers like a pro, that she's some new voice of reason for the residents of Woodbury, she's just too problematic and naive. The Governor is becoming more belligerent and violent. Can you blame him? I do and don't side with him, more so don't, however, I understand and I reason with him in some ways. While I like Michonne a lot, she just wouldn't let up. Now, he's lost his daughter.. uhh... again? As well as an eye, and the people are starting to moan and hesitate and are questioning the Governor, and as well as this he believes he's been betrayed by Merle. He also built this "town" for all these people, it's like, what thanks does he get? Most of all he's lost his family, not that he is the sole character who has, but still. But I digress. I can see why he's become like this, he's gone off rails like poor Rick. Both of whom have lost family/significant other.

This episode I thought was so good because of how it flows and how there were so few moments I didn't like. Pretty much just the Lori stuff, everything else is good. And I love the ending, it's just dark & gruesome while has you wondering what's next to come. It turned very chaotic very quickly. Acting and directing good as usual. The episode also has one or two standout walker kills, something I always look for so I can take note of which look cool or memorable, which episode had this particular smart walker death or not. They're even cooler when they are practical effects.

Great episode.
