Honestly to be fair, that's really a more real representation of how gunfights work. Or in this case, an ambush. You don't usually stand there and fight. Especially if you're just a civilian really. I wanted a gunfight like the comics, but this worked pretty well as well. We didn't have that much cannon fodder anyways.


And Beth is pretty cute with the beanie :3

They pretty much stated that zombie animals are not going to make an appearance iirc.

It really seems like no one working on this show knew this episode was supposed to be a season finale. Barely closed any plots and now we have a damn nursery home to look forward to next season.

I was expecting at least three deaths in Rick's group, them being outnumbered 3:1 and all.


Yeah, I'll give them that. Tear gas, sirens, and gunfire in a crowded hallway will destroy anyone's morale, no question about it. However, the build-up to that scene was pretty contrived. There's more than one entrance to the prison; even an amateur leader would know better than to push his whole army through one doorway.

The combat was just horrible. A whole season of buildup just to have no real fighting. The governor's plan is to run everyone inside a jail to get ambushed and then run away. That's the whole thing. Wow.

I agree, Zalithian. I was getting pretty bored of the 95% politics, 5% action the show had started to take the past month or so. I was really hoping for something better this week. Probably not going to continue watching next season.

Where was that said? It's probably to avoid any PETA problems?

Anyway, did anyone catch the Talking Dead episode after? There was a phone bomb question, and I totally missed what the dude was trying to say... Anyone chime in as to what it was about and what was said?

This is what I'm upset at the most. The last 10 minutes was critical and felt like it should be 30 mins more instead. It was so rushed. Didn't explain where governor, Martinez, and the other black dude went, and why everyone that stayed in Woodbury just decided to take off so easily too.

Now did they get any supplies too? How will they support all of those people.

No, that wasn't the plan. Watch the episode again and actually pay attention. The governor never told them to run away. Right before he killed all of them, the governor told them that they had to go back and entrench themselves at the prison but they refused. Thus, his plan was ruined. He had no idea his people would panic and run when the situation got heated. This is evidenced by the scene where he told Andrea (right before he stabbed Milton) that everyone in the town was riled up by the lies. He incorrectly assumed that a bunch of random civilians had the same level of bloodlust and hardiness as him. Simply teaching them how to fight and feeding them lies to induce fear is not enough.



It's mind-blowing just how stupid you people are. Since season 1 people have come to this thread after almost every episode and whined about how there's not enough action and killing. And everyone time someone does this, it gets pointed out that this is not a show about killing zombies and people. You would think that by season 3 viewers would get this.

Moreover, the fight was as accurate as possible to a real-life scenario, as Blisse pointed out.

Overall, this was one of the best season finales I've seen. And best of all, there's no 6+ month cliff-hanger.

Ah, yes. Sorry smart guy. None of us are smart enough to understand what happened in the show. Let me rephrase:

I was disappointed that the "epic fight" which was built up during the whole season turned into a pathetic 2 minute slaughter. The governor has the tactical prowess of Pocahontas. Let's just run into a maze with no lights, no idea where we're going and then see what happens. Just horrible.

Second, on realism - you're defending how the show was boring by saying it was realistic. Hooray, a show about the zombie apocalypse had a realistic part! Cool. If I wanted realism, I'd watch a documentary, not a fiction show about zombies.
