Tell it to the Frogs

Tell it to the Frogs largely remains an action free episode, set almost entirely in the confines of the Atlanta camp, it offers viewers a perfect opportunity to get to know the characters, making the inevitability of losing some along the road a tough pill to swallow. The episode itself opens with Merle still chained atop the roof in Atlanta, sunburnt and delirious. The inclusion of the scene is a good indication as to Merle's fate, in that if he was a character to die soon or pointlessly disappear, they wouldn't bother showing the scene in the first place. Again this highlights Season 1 being the true glory days of the show, in that a majority of the characters had meaning, purpose and every action committed had clear consequences, rather than to be fogotten th Rick reuniting with his family, evoking emotion
