It does not look good for Hershel.

Operation Dumbass continues.

Oh Merle, just go back. They would forgive you and take you back if you pick their side.

Oh no Merle, he will try to kill Phillip to save Daryl. I predicted that he would sacrifice himself to save the group eventually.

This is Merle's redemption arc. Daryl dies, Merle must atone.

Operation Dumbass continues.

I just don't know what to think anymore. This is a colossal fail!

Are you kidding? I loving the unpredictable drama. I am thrilled that Merle is getting his redemption and that Rooker is giving us this awesome performance.

I thought it was a silly turn of events, but I'm glad they ended it fast and didn't play it out. And the scenes with Gurira and Rooker were great, so that was fine.

I wish Michonne would go with Daryl. WTH is Merle doing? Okay, him giving the walker liquor though the window was funny.

Wait he is leading a herd to Woodbury?

Damn, Merle is trying to take out as many of Phillip's men as he can.

Oh no, he almost got Phillip. He bit off two of his fingers! Damn! What a death! Merle!

Merle is smart and resourceful! Love him!

My heart just broke into a zillion pieces!

WTF?! Did he shoot Merle? I looked away.

Yep, Phillip shot Merle after biting off two of his fingers and choking him.

My heart did not break, but given his sins, Merle got a measure of redemption. He took out a lot of Phillip's best men, evening up the fight to come in the group's favor. I hope Daryl does not have to put him down as a walker.

Woooow, I thought he'd be around until next season.

Nah, I thought that Merle would be gone by this season's finale.

Awww, Glenn proposing. Glenn and Maggie are so sweet. They break my heart.

LOL, if you look at his Twitter, you'd understand why I thought that. He cracks me up when people ask if he's a goner. He's so sassy.

This speech is a lot better than anything Kirkman ever did that I can recall.
