I feel bad for the writers. They're damned if they do and damned if they don't. Spend time doing the character development necessary to make a death have impact and people complain that it's a zombie show with no zombies in it. Spend time on action and they complain that they don't care about anyone who dies. I bet even if they did find the right balance of action and character development people would just start complaining about how walkers aren't scary because they don't kill enough people anymore.
Forreal, though. They should have been tying those prison doors shut. That was my first thought when I saw all those bluehairs rolling off the bus at the end of last season.

A simple in universe explanation for not having any of the cell doors locked is because people didn't want to feel like they were locked up in a prison, they wanted everybody (including themselves) to as at home as possible and that meant no locking people into their cells at night like they're prisoners.

How about the deep sleeper? I'm pretty sure anyone would wake up if someone bit a chunk out of their neck.

I think it was kind of implied that because Patrick went straight for the throat, he probably severed the larynx along with the carotid. Maybe sleeping beauty went into shock and couldn't vocalize anything because omnomvocalcords.
I'm not a doctor, though, so I don't know if that explanation holds up to any level of medical knowledge.

Was a little dissapointed with last nights Episode, but get the impression we're on a slow build to some serious action here soon!
My bet is that the one feeding the zombies, burning the bodies, ect...is none other than The Governor.

If people did everything that made sense we'd have horror movies like this to look forward to

It seems likely but at the same time that would be a bit too obvious. Then there's the question of where the hell he's hiding, the only part of the prison that's habitable is the part that Rick & friends are living in, the rest is open to the outdoors and has walkers coming and going out of it. Then there's the matter of where he's getting his food & water from in walker infested lands without drawing the attention of anybody in the prison when he's out foraging/hunting.

Given that everyone who we've met so far seems to be playing on the same team, I'd be both surprised and disappointed if they threw in some unsubstantiated distention. And hinting at water being such causal factor, and now seeing the rats being thrown to the Walkers as bait at some point in the night, I just can't shake the feeling that the Governor's gonna pop up here soon. Especially with him being kept as a simmering point with Michonne since the first episode.

My money is on the new black guy too, either that or it's Tyreese's now dead girlfriend. While we did see her body but we don't know that it's really her, we only have a bracelet to go by and she easily could have put in on someone elses body in order to convince everybody that she's dead. Regardless, it almost certainly has to be someone we already know and have been introduced to already, I think that it would **** too many people off to actually introduce the culprit halfway through the season like pulling a rabbit from a hat. At the same time I doubt it's the Governor, he's too obvious and as I said previously, there are also issues of where he's hiding and how he's getting his food and water while remaining unseen.

It does kind of seem like if anyone is far enough off their rocker to try a plan like that, it's the Governor that they set up in the final episodes of last season. I wouldn't put it past him to be living like some kind of feral man bent on revenge on the outskirts of the prison. Seems anticlimactic as a plot point, though, unless it's a subplot that gets wrapped up mid-season.
Aside from that, I don't really think there are any clues yet as to who exactly the inside (wo)man is. My bet is on it being some well meaning idiot among the group with some kind of ridiculous explanation as to why he/she thought it was a good idea. Part of me thinks it's Carol trying to expose the kids to seeing large groups of walkers actually posing a threat instead of lining up on the fence to be brained.

It's the little girl who liked the zombie named "Nick" Has to be. She's the only one visibly stupid enough to do something like that.
The mentioned that last night on Talkng Dead but pointed out the flashlight was too high for her.
What happened to that one prisoner that Rick kicked out? Wasn't he still out there? If so it could be him. I think Glen and Maggie should stop screwing around in that guard tower because it would take a blind person to miss someone out there with a flashlight at night! On top of that why in the hell don't they have one or more watch shifts inside the prison??? Yeah you *think* it's secure, but it doesn't hurt to have people watching out at night inside the prison.

He was killed within a couple of episodes of being kicked out.

How would someone be capturing live rats unbeknownst to everyone else?

Based on what? There wasn't anything we could see besides a light, and barely a hand pushing a rat through the fence. Besides, it's not as if they have any great authority to dismiss that on that show.
