Dead Lines

                              

"Home" is where the great dialogue (not to mention a pulse-pounding climax) is, as evidenced by last night's episode:


The Governor [to Andrea]: I thought this place could be something else.  Something better.  But I wasn't up to the challenge; I screwed it up....I've done some terrible things.   I'm not fit to lead these people.  But you are.



Merle: They're all dead.  Makes no difference.
Daryl: How can you be so sure?
