THE WALKING DEAD: "This Sorrowful Life" S3E15 (review)

By Kate McKendry

This Sorrowful Life opens with Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Daryl (Norman Reedus), and Hershel (Scott Wilson) discussing Rick’s plan to give Michonne (Danai Gurira) to the Governor (David Morrissey) to avoid going to war.


Although Daryl and Hershel clearly don’t agree with the plan, Rick goes to Merle (Michael Rooker) for help.

Letting Merle in on the “inner circle” of his plan, Merle tells Rick that the Governor wouldn’t kill Michonne – he would just torture her instead.

Merle accuses Rick of being cold as ice, but then tells him he doesn’t have the spine to go through with the plan. Although his face agrees with Merle’s statement, Rick tells him that they need to get Michonne to the Governor by noon.
