^^^ Yep!!

 

No ,no don't think that. Even if you post a question that had an obvious answer (perhaps you missed something while viewing) it's really great to hear everyone's take on it. I've learned alot by reading other people's ideas on some situations that seemed to have just 1 answer. It's great that everyone can post what they are thinking.

*gets down off soap box* :zombies_lol:

 

I just watched it again and hadn't noticed the mention of Tdog until this time - you're right, he was referring to Herschel turning, not, as I though, to be a supportive boyfriend - though I hope that was the secondary reason (which it very well could have been) because that makes the character growth far more intriguing. Zombies and guns aside, what we are watching is an experiment in human dynamics, and how we adjust (or mal adjust) to severe situations.

 

Well from a writers perspective it is a way to introduce tension for the audience watching. Because they know that Maggie and Glenn are together and the audience will wonder would Glenn be able to kill Herschell? And if he did what would happen between him and Maggie.

But if I were to look at it like I was Rick, I would have to also say maybe because Rick trusts Glenn to do the right thing, and he wants someone there to protect the women.

 

Totally agree. Also, I think Rick would possibly want at least one GROWN male to protect the female group, especially since Rick does not know what/who else could be lurking in the prison.
