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

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 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. | ||

I literally fast forwarded through all her parts because I thought it would be 5 minutes of her fumbling with both the pliers and her rampant, uncontrollable hormones, only to succeed at the last moment. And that's exactly what it was. I had a huge grin when the bite mark was showed, for which I feel no shame at all. | ||

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? | ||

My issue with that statement is that the Governor has never proved himself to be an amateur leader even. Remember the scene with the army folk? He just walked up to them. Pretty incapable in my opinion. It also showed when they all just drove into the prison. Did you notice the lack of scouts? They were really confused when there was no resistance on the outside. Could've been avoided with scouts, but he's clearly shown he's not smart enough to plan like that. In a way this is consistent. Consistently messed up, but consistent. | ||

The governor's plan is to run everyone inside a jail to get ambushed and then run away. That's the whole thing. Wow. 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.

I was really hoping for something better this week. Probably not going to continue watching next season. 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 every time someone does this, it gets pointed out that this is not an action-centric 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 better season finales I've seen. And best of all, there's no 6+ month cliff-hanger. That said, Andrea should have tried to pick up the pliers while talking to Milton, instead of wasting so much time. Also, I'm not sure why Martinez and that black guy didn't kill the governor after they saw what he did. | ||

Back before the tv series even exists, when there were only the comics, robert kirkman stated in an interview that the zombie virus doesn't affect animals. Only humans turn. Zombies will eat animals though, considering they're "warm bodies." | ||

Moreover, the Governor would have been dead then. Leaving him for next season is a mistake, going to maintain that. | ||

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. Uh, you do realize that the show isn't over, right? All of these questions will be answered later. There simply isn't enough time in 1 hour to go over absolutely every single aspect of the plot. As far as the season finale is concerned, none of these questions are relevant, hence they weren't answered. | ||

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. | ||

Let's just run into a maze with no lights, no idea where we're going and then see what happens. Just horrible. Go watch the show again and point out evidence that the governor was certified as a tactical genius. You don't turn into a strategic mastermind just because the apocalypse occurred. He tried his best but because he has no formal training in this sort of thing he miscalculated a lot of stuff, in part due to this rage and bloodlust. 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. I'm not defending it was boring because it wasn't boring. I'm defending the scene because it played out in the best possible and most accurate manner. A few days of learning how to shoot a rifle does not make you a hardened fighter. The scene would have been terrible of all of the sudden all these civilians learned how to handle the chaos that comes with battle. Furthermore, I take it you're not very familiar with science-fiction. Just because the apocalypse isn't realistic doesn't mean all of the sudden any unbelievable sort of thing should happen. There CAN be realism in science-fiction. | ||
