my guess is there were two other guys who were with the family in that cabin, and one of them raped his wife or daughter. one died cause he was the rapist and the other died because he either lied for his buddy. Maybe the dad after losing his wife and daughter, kept them in the back of the house and killed himself believign he was a murderer.

Did they ever explain the headless corpses in the previous episode? Who was doing it and why? The ones that had the signs “liar”, “rapist”, etc.

No explanation offered or even thought about. The hunting party just came up to it, offed the walkers and drank their beer.

Unless of course, it was Michonne's work, while she was out hunting the Governor...

not michonne. those were personal. remember the family picture there. i think it was this family and a couple other guys there holding out and one of the other guys raped the daughter/wife. dad got one for rape, the other for lying about it, and eventually the gals got picked off or died, and he had them in the back of the cabin, and he decides either he’s a murderer for killing the jerks or letting his wife and daughter die, hangs his own sign around himself and offs himself.

Ed Peltier, the redneck wife-beater who had a prepper stash and a bug-out kit? Merle Dixon, the redneck white supremacist? Those are just the most egregious examples...

If that's what you were looking for then I'm not going to argue with you.

With that being said, any character on the show could be classified in one way or the other according to you.

If you're saying that TWD's intent is to profile certain characters in order to promote an agenda, which I think you are, then you're way off base here bro...........

With your frame of thought, I'm sure you could find racist, sexist, and any other noun ending in "ist" in the orginal Mouseketeers program.........

Would you prefer the series be made up of simple suburban husband and wife characters from Happyville, USA?

I’m surprised Andrea didn’t take *her* gun and pistolwhip Dale, Shane and, for that matter, Rick.

Speaking of Shane...

Mob City

He's got a new project.

Merle was a great character. I don’t think he was so much racist as he was just a general ass. He had a great sense of humor the show really needs.

He did find his redemption in the end and even turned Michonne loose.

Rick gets it tonight.

I saw on my feed at Facebook that the actress who plays Maggie is going to be on the Talking Dead. Now, it is not always a given; but, a significant number of times, the person appearing on The Talking Dead, bit the dust in that night's episode. I can only wait and see if it is true this ep.

That was what Rick, Lori and Carl were supposed to be. And look at what happened to them...

For those interested:

AMC® The Walking Dead® Officially Licensed Michonne's Katana with Display Stand

It's not sharpened, so why bother? Be something kinda cool for collectors.
If it was sharpened, it would have sold out weeks ago.

That's true, but they usually don't tell you which actor it's going to be. It's always "a special WD cast member" or something like that. One of those is supposed to be on Talking Dead tonight, in addition to Maggie.

You’re right that pretty much guarantees he doesn’t get it.

Carol returns, kills the gov, and then gets it.

but I kinda doubt the Gov gets killed. Maybe one of those two chicks he picked up.

There is that other group that raided and killed the other unknown group in the Governor’s woods.

A wild plot would be the Governor attacking the prison, and then the unknown group raids them both. Rick and the Governor would have to make a truce to survive. I hope they don’t do this plot.

And don’t forget about the radio guy. I think Carroll will find him in a 30 second scene at the very end of this final episode.
