They showed Daryl, but I think he was with Merle, not the group. D; And they better develop Michonne into something awesome. At least reveal something by the end of the season, at least. And yeah, Season 2 Carl was so ugh. That scene where Rick was about to execute Randall, and Carl just walks in. Like, what the actual fudge. And I like Dale =/
I've heard that the comics were pretty brutal. D; I'll see if I can find it in the library or online or something.
