I think it would be hilarious if while Rick and the Governor were facing off for the final showdown, you see the old lady and athsma kid walk up and pop him then the show just ends.

So, is the trend of ending every episode with a song montage something new? I've only really noticed it in the past 4 or 5 episodes and can't remember it be done a whole lot before now. Do I just have a bad memory? Either why, I wish they would stop, its a boring way to end a show. Stargate Universe did this for almost every episode and it was just annoying; when you hear the pop song, you know the episode is over. I wish they'd stop it in The Walking Dead. Guess they need to sell a soundtrack though.

On BSG, their outstanding composer Bear McCreary wrote all the music, including the montages, during its first 3 seasons. Of course, that was a sci-fi show set in what was essentially an alternate universe - you couldn't use pop songs. Yet, in order to make a connection between that universe and ours, they took an old Bob Dylan song "All Along the Watchtower" during the final season and played with the theme as a recurring motif that provided hints to the ultimate conclusion of the series. Like nearly everything else about that show, it was a brilliant move.

Looks like he may be busy as he hasn't updated it recently, but he explains how he forms some of the themes on the show (like the Governor's theme) amongst others (like when Lori dies). It's always a great read/watch.

Damn it Merle, I was just enjoying you coming around. I should have seen it coming a mile away though, because yet again Michael Rooker got more good dialog this episode than he has all season and that is almost a guarantee the character will be dead by the end.

After last week's horror show (in more ways than one) the lack of Andrea was a bonus. I would trade her for Merle in second. Too few Daryl and Merle scenes and by the end of this one I was wishing there could have been more. Poor Daryl.
