YES YOU SHOULD. But you should not ready this post any further, Del Murder, because I ain't marking my spoilers.

Okay so my heart is fine because so far Herschel is okay. I lost it when Maggie was telling him it was okay to die. I don't know how many of you have experienced significant loss - I know I haven't lost anyone as important as a parent - and I just don't think I could be that brave. I think the hardest part of coping with death is the ability to "let go" of the person who is dying or has died. I can't put that thought into sensible words right now, but you guys get what I'm saying, right? Anyway, Maggie is far and away my favorite lady on the show right now - and let's be honest that's been true for a while.

Soooo what else. Rick destroyed the Hispanic Shane wannabe and I was like YAY but the dude that came at him with the bat... he just left him for walkerfood in that courtyard. Perhaps there will be some pitfalls in the Ricktatorship.

I am happy to see that Lori and Carol are both working on redemption, Carol by finding something useful to do besides whine and Lori by coming to terms with how troutty of a human being she was for a while. I found myself a little pissed off at Rick for the "we're all grateful" line because... well regardless of where she and Rick are right now, she's as much a part of that group as he is, although he is the de facto leader. I just wonder how much of his pushing her away is because he's hurt by her, to keep himself objective or because he doesn't want to hurt her.

WHO IS IN THE WOODS? You know who I think is in the woods? And has been in the woods like the whole time? Mother smurfing MERLE DIXON. Son of a bitch. I wonder what'll happen when he and Daryl meet-up again, now that Daryl is so ingrained within the group.
