Did you watch?
For a show on a non premium cable channel, I thought it was very good. I never read the comic, so I don't know how it compares, but I'll be watching every Sunday. pisses me off that I don't get AMC in HD though.

You don't think Morgan could envision that a possibility could exist where a crazy man bent on killing...doesn't kill...?
Let's be honest, this is one of the more easily explainable things of all of the things that happen on this show.
Completely unlike the last episode where they were saying they needed to move the walkers west and then actually showed a map where they were moving them north, and then sounded a horn to make them move north in relation to the story, or east in relation to the map...but actually they should have been moving south because that is where they said they lived.
Just...ugh...

it's cool Morgan had that transformation, but his experience is decidedly the outlier. from the Governor to the "claimed" group to Terminus to Shane, we've been shown those who extend trust to people with clearly defined ulterior motives are doomed in this world. again, Morgan is completely entitled to whatever behavior he chooses so long as it doesn't cause peril to those in his community. once that line is crossed, he's breaking his own moral code.
[I think as far as we know...]Morgan has had experiences with Rick and with Eastman. Both times he took a completely different approach at the beginning (helping rick, trying to kill Eastman) and both times the good in people has come out and great relationships were formed.

but if you're right and Morgan is simply ignorant of all the events that led to the rest of the group's outlook/behaviors, that's the worst kind of sitcom-y withholding of information.

Rick would want to confide/confess to Morgan since the latter sees him as he was before, so Rick seems to need to justify himself and his actions to Morgan. this is shown during the times they talked while Morgan was in probation. i also think Rick would have painted a picture of those events that would have been even slightly more ghastly than reality because he would want to make sure Morgan sees there was "no other choice."
Carol would want to tell him so she could instill some fear in him and make sure they're on the same page. since they arrived at Alexandria, she's spent most of her time sizing people up; why would Morgan be any different? if she would have seen him let that group of wolves go, i'd say there would have been a 50/50 chance of her dropping him on the spot since she's made it abundantly clear she has no issues removing people from the group who she thinks are "weak." the conflict between their ways of thinking was highlighted a couple times in JSS, with Carol unwilling to bend regarding the treatment of incapacitated wolves.
but now i'm theorizing on what might have occurred in conversation that were never shown onscreen, so i'm probably just chasing my tail. i stand by my assertion that releasing the captured wolf would be an indefensible, laughingly naive move.
something that just hit me: do any of the other characters know the wolf is alive? nobody was with Morgan when they talked, and the house where he's being kept looked uninhabited.

Probably not since not enough people watched it. Well, here's a quick clip of him when his cop partner mentions The Walking Dead.

And since I'm posting, here's what happens when Abraham and cop partner Jim Gordon from Gotham see a pervert at the mall.

Seriously, was there any point to the whole thing? Or was it just an episode that needed an excuse to follow Daryl and show how he's coming along in terms of feeling and perspective?
