Rick is nothing like Phillip or Shane. He started from a good place with a good generous heart. People like Phillip and Shane were clearly near sociopaths before the Zombie Apocalypic so it did not take much for them to go over the edge. However, I do think that Alpert, the producer in that clip is right though, both Phillip and Morgan are versions of people that Rick can become if he does not hold onto his group, his sanity, and his hope.

Watching Rick ignore the hitchhiker and kick Tyrese and his people out was hard to watch because we don't want to believe that good people would do something like that i.e. we all think that we are all good people and we don't want to believe we would do something like that. But these are not easy decisions and they are being made under horrific situations. Rick is already on shaky mental ground. He sees every new person as an additional person that he is responsible for and/or a potential threat to the group. He accepted Merle because he knows that they desperately need Daryl and he can watch his brother. Rick wanted to save Morgan because he saved him and he knows that Morgan is a good person and could be again if he could regain his mental health. I think that when Rick gets well or as well as he can get, he will be closer to the Rick we knew post-Shane, but still making tough decisions.

Checking in!

YAY, a reminder.

After what he did to Maggie, Phillip deserves the most painful death.

Not yet! The Gov has added so much to this season. His end should be nothing short of epic!

Andrea is such a fool. She honestly thinks that she can trust Phillip.

Yeah, Rick mentioned what he did to Maggie.

Andrea needs to be the one who gets shot! Worthless twat!

Notice The Gov is making sure Andrea doesn't hear about Maggie?

See that is the difference between Rick and Phillip. Rick always willing to find a way to make peace.

Phillip doesn't want peace. He wants to take the prison and the spoils. He also wants Michonne and Merle.

Andrea told Phillip about Rick/Shane? Twat!

Is this a trap?

I want Maggie to get the honor of killing him after what he did to her but had they gone the way of the comics I would have wanted Michonne to.

I think something is up.

And Hernandez better recognize...Daryl is far superior with weapons!

Oh, I like how Glenn told Merle his decision is final. Go Glenn!
