90. gotta mull it over a bit more,

Mon Apr 1, 2013, 12:32 AM

Apr 2013

but ya, it was nothing compared to previous season finales. The Governors attack on the prison was pathetic, and the defense of the prison was weak. Big missed opportunities.

The end was a bit of stretch with the citizens of woodbury being so trusting and/or desperate, and the prison group being so magnanimous.

I really wanted to see more zombies, more of Michonne in ninja mode and Hershel with the endless ammo supply. Should have been 1.5 hours long.

I bet now he had let Andrea kill him when she had the chance. texanwitch Mar 2013 #14

Was that my imagination, or did Andrea manage to loosen up the ropes that held her feet down? Baitball Blogger Mar 2013 #16

I didn't see that. texanwitch Mar 2013 #19

Carl did what he had to do. texanwitch Mar 2013 #27

I agree that the kid should have dropped the gun. Baitball Blogger Mar 2013 #29

The other kid was a lot bigger and stronger. texanwitch Mar 2013 #32

I think the guy was pulling something krispos42 Mar 2013 #37

I think he saw an old man and a kid and thought there was no threat. Recovered Repug Mar 2013 #67

The Governor tapped that kid in the prison hallway, and sent him ahead WilliamPitt Mar 2013 #71

He didn't seem particularly worried about being held at gunpoint. krispos42 Mar 2013 #74

Yep. texanwitch Mar 2013 #78

I think Carl did good - dicey situation could have gone either way Baclava Apr 2013 #131

I would have taken a step back and repeated my demand. krispos42 Apr 2013 #134

I could be wrong, but I thought they already asked him to drop it like 3 or 4 times Baclava Apr 2013 #136

So the Governor lives and Andrea dies. Baitball Blogger Mar 2013 #66

She paid the price. texanwitch Mar 2013 #68

sad ending for her NewJeffCT Mar 2013 #72

Okay, food for thought. Baitball Blogger Apr 2013 #108

Artistic note... krispos42 Mar 2013 #70

Milton played that that scene really well MattBaggins Mar 2013 #79

I would think the first task NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #112

We still don't know where they're coming from, do we? Baitball Blogger Apr 2013 #113

I'm sure at least some NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #123

I asked the same question. Maybe because they feel safer in the DebJ Apr 2013 #115

That's what I thought too... LeftOfSelf-Centered Apr 2013 #116

Interesting ending NewJeffCT Mar 2013 #84

Fewer people died than I thought might die. Solly Mack Mar 2013 #85

I was expecting a bigger fire fight. texanwitch Apr 2013 #88

gotta mull it over a bit more, Joe Shlabotnik Apr 2013 #90

I certainly have to say Hayabusa Apr 2013 #92

About the prison group being so trusting: DebJ Apr 2013 #117

What can the governor do now? Joe Shlabotnik Apr 2013 #94

One of them should have killed him as he was massacring the "army". MrSlayer Apr 2013 #96

Now that Team Prison NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #101

Allen had a chance. texanwitch Apr 2013 #119

If you watch it again, the Gov was single shooting. MrSlayer Apr 2013 #139

I was hoping a walker would have got Allen when he opened the door. texanwitch Apr 2013 #140

Yeah, must agree that TM99 Apr 2013 #97

the people left behind in Woodbury NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #100

Yeah, very good point. TM99 Apr 2013 #102

they left us with kind of a meh ending, all the build-up, for this? Baclava Apr 2013 #104

I figured they would pick up a few extras NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #105

I said the same thing - hot showers, comfy beds and food in the town...why not just take it over? Baclava Apr 2013 #106

If they follow at least some of the comics storyline NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #107

I wonder if Carl has to face the kin or friends of the boy he killed? Baitball Blogger Apr 2013 #111

Absolutely exboyfil Apr 2013 #122

Feral pigs probably the best chance exboyfil Apr 2013 #124

The governor knows all the weak points in Woodbury. Baitball Blogger Apr 2013 #110

And we saw how easy Rick's group and Michonne snuck into the town earlier in the season charlie and algernon Apr 2013 #118

I was thinking of locking them in as well exboyfil Apr 2013 #121

Except the Governor gutted his own army. krispos42 Apr 2013 #126

I think you whittled the numbers down well. Baitball Blogger Apr 2013 #127

I've heard that. krispos42 Apr 2013 #128

27 total. Baitball Blogger Apr 2013 #129

Some math NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #130

And when Merle chased Michonne... krispos42 Apr 2013 #132

Got it NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #133

:-) n/t krispos42 Apr 2013 #135

Can't argue with the losses, but you didn't mention the addition of Tyrese's group. Recovered Repug Apr 2013 #143

After the massacre, I thought he drove of with only two of his men. Incitatus Apr 2013 #146

The kid in the woods ran away, so maybe more got away also. texanwitch Apr 2013 #147

I remember there were two men with him in the pickup truck. krispos42 Apr 2013 #149

They left in one truck. texanwitch Apr 2013 #150

The Gov left behind the 50 cal in the prison yard. texanwitch Apr 2013 #138

good point NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #141

I am sure the writers will make some ammunition appear in the 4th season. texanwitch Apr 2013 #142

True NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #144

It is also on wheels. texanwitch Apr 2013 #145

It was an awesome end to a great season. nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #151
