I agree with you DC. I think Sunday's episode, while slower paced, was intended to give us a look at Darryl's life.
Btw, did you see him (Darryl) on Talking Dead? He & Beth were on and they said that they were actually eating eel (not snake). Norman Reddus (Darryl) and Beth both said it tasted awful. You'd never know it by watching the scene. He was chowing down.
If it were me, I'd say "ok Walkers come get me." LOL I'd be damned if I'd ever eat either snake OR eel. Ewwwwww
