I understand why they'd dig a grave - because they might be hoping to find her body... But why fill it in? Maybe if they didn't find her after a few days, but why dig it and then fill it in almost immediately? What a waste of time and effort...

 

I didn't get why they didn't even try and look for her to confirm whether she is dead or not. Why would they waste energy digging a grave, and refilling it with nothing. The writers are trying too hard to make us think she's dead.

 

I definitely agree. I don't think Carol is dead... I think they'll eventually find her somewhere in the prison, trying to survive and get back to the group.

 

This is probably far fetched but I wonder if she's with Lori?

 

It's symbolic. It's gave Glenn something to do to take his mind off what happened and as far as having bodies, it's likely they just buried a momento from each of them. It would be too dangerous to go back in just to retrieve bodies. No, it's likely they just buried something of each as a means of honoring their dead.

 

Wasn't that flower a Cherokee Rose?

 

I just can't believe any normal person would dig a body-sized grave for a scarf. I thought they were digging it expecting to find Carol's body later, but they didn't search for her at all (or at least not for long...) Any normal person wouldn't have filled in the grave yet, since if they really think she's dead, she's got to be in the prison someplace... Where do they expect to bury her when they actually find her? Just dig up the grave AGAIN? Their organization skills are ****ed right now.

 

Well, not only didn't they ever find Carol's body as far as we saw, but where was Lori? When Rick went in the room, there was the afterbirth and blood, but no Lori. Did somebody eat her?

 

Well if they are digging Carols grave to pass the time, why not be more constructive and use that time to actually look for her. I mean its been an hour since you last seen her and your already digging her grave? They didn't give up on Sophia for least a month and even then some of them were still hoping to find her alive.

 

Maybe Sophia's fate has made them all really jaded, so they're not even going to try with Carol...

 

Daryl placing the Cherokee Rose on the grave definitely implied A-It was Carol's grave. B-She is in fact dead. The remaining unfilled burial is Lori's--They just haven't retrieved her body yet because Rick is going all PTSD in the bowels of the prison and, well, she's been eaten. This has been confirmed by the director although he glossed over the fact we never saw Carol's body or remains.

I personally think Carol is still alive though...

 

Hmm.
I don't believe Lori is alive.
She can't be. Sure, perhaps she was most probably in shock but she lost a lot of blood with the Caesarean. As much as some of us would like her to still be alive, well. She kind of had to die. I mean, by her death we can see Carl maturing even more and Rick with his.. 'breakdown'. We needed to be shown that Rick is still a human with emotions. Also Carol.
I don't know why I like her but I do, I like what she does to Daryl. She brings out a different aspect of his personality. She can't be dead. I can't handle anymore deaths. It's messing with my feels.
--Also, after the last episode, 'Say the word'.. Well, I've admittedly come to love Daryl more. I'd harbor his babies in my uterus. (;

 

To be fair people...Glenn only dug one grave and gave the task of digging the other two to Axel and Oscar. So it's no 'skin off his nose' wether they simply just filled them back in or not.
