The Blogging Dead : The Walking Dead Episode 15 : This Sorrowful Life (aired March 24, 2013)
Summary
Ready to honour the Governor’s deal, Rick informs Hershel, Daryl & Merle about the plan to give up Michonne in exchange for peace between Woodbury & the prison. When Rick’s conscience has a change of heart, Merle deceptively & forcibly escorts Michonne to deliver her to the Governor himself and finds out he has a little bit of humanity left to offer.The Good 
So long Merle, you were a better walker than you ever were a human being. Although you did find a smidgeon of redemption in letting Michonne go, I guess you weren’t completely hopeless. Actor Michael Rooker brought real character to a detestable individual, Merle’s a character you just love to hate and brought tension & disgust in every episode he was in. If you want to see more of Rooker being a real scumbag, check out his performances in movies like Henry : Portrait of a Serial Killer & Mississippi Burning. Merle’s like Henry, except he butchers walkers instead of people. Actor Norman Reedus flexes his acting muscles, as Daryl shows some real emotions in mourning the death of his brother Merle. Maybe now he’ll warm up to Carol.
Some nice & tender moments between Glen & Maggie, as he proposes to her with a diamond ring chopped from the dead finger of a female walker. Seriously? Here’s how the scene would’ve played out in real life (ok, in real life, zombies don’t exist, but just bear with me for a moment).
- Maggie : yes I’ll marry you Glen, It’s a beautiful ring…
- Glen : Oh Maggie, you’ve made me the happiest man on earth.
- Maggie : um… Glen?
- Glen : Yes my beautiful wife to be?
- Maggie : Where did you get this ring?
- Glen : uh well… I…
- Maggie : Glen!!!
- Glen : I… took it off the finger of a… walker
- Maggie : EEWWW! Gross! What the hell is wrong with you? Did you at least sterilize it or something?
- Glen : Well no, I just wiped it on my shirt.
- Maggie : The same filthy and stinky shirt you’ve been wearing for months and months?
- Glen : Well yeah.
- Maggie : Oh man, it’s bad enough we have sex like 30 feet away from a horde of walkers, but now you want me to wear a scummy ring too. I’m going to my cell to pout like I did after the Governor scared me. Boo Hoo Hoo!
