Damn, are they that much deprived of ideas? This season started off great and now the Governor is ruining it, ever since he appeared we had lame episodes and now it's going to continue with this shitty pointless war once gain. Only good thing is the Mitch guy is Alvarez from Oz and I liked him a lot ! Hopefully a second prison attack is just to cut out some of the characters before the Rick, Daryl etc hits the road again. | ||

Except for the governor of course, taking an afternoon stroll over all by his lonesome. Another side effect of the world being super scary and dangerous when convenient and not at all at other times I guess. I would assume a number of the new people in the prison were not only from Woodbury, but also survivors they found from the surrounding area. Also people have a strange concept of how large plots of land works. Either a) Survivors are trying to fortify one spot like we've seen, in which case they'd only travel so far for food and likely never would reach as far as the prison or b) They're constantly moving, and if they don't pick the exact direction the prison is in they'll pass by it in the woods and never see it at all. It's not like groups are moving in super-composed giant cocentric circles until they reach the prison, they're likely keeping to themselves or moving away/parallel to it. | ||

So the big cliffhanger for the mid-season finale will be that the prison will be under attack and things look grim for our heroes because the governor has the numbers and weapons and our heroes are weakened and they don't want to leave and what the fuck is wrong with the writers of this show? The governor was a really bad, uninteresting villain the last season and he is still the same bad, uninteresting villain this season. And the only reason people are following him is because they are badly written characters, who don't even question that multiple leaders of their own group died unexpectedly and without any proof whatsoever in a short time span. Who completely forget that they demanded (and were promised!) some kind of election. Who are fine with the new guy who just recently arrived taking over. And who will follow the governor like sheep in the next episodes to attack the prison because the gov said so. Damn. I want that good zombie show back they had on a while ago.  | ||

-all group that die in the forest and they hear nothing? they were with them the instant before. I even thought it was a different group at first. Funny how it's always the governor that see stuff around when he got only 1 eye. -Tara smiles at Alicia and 5min later, her sister is like "hey but Tara got Alicia, we can't leave!' how fast are those 2 chicks? -they want to say the group that Pete died at a supply run, but he died in the camp... how can anyone believe this? -the zombies in the house... they don't move when they hear noise, now they wait in the dark patiently to jump on their prey? that's a first. and I hope it wont be an other attack on the prison. it was an horrible final previous season, they can't seriously do the same shit again... | ||

Come on now. I'm normally not too nitpicky when it comes to plotholes and inconsistencies, or I don't even notice them. But at some point the glaringly obvious errors and non-credible events become too much. You'd think the professional writers for a multi-million dollar show could do better. | ||

"It's not about doing the wrong thing or the right thing, it's about doing the only thing". Comic Governor was evil. Last season Governor was evil (and manipulative). This season's Governor is an entirely different beast. Crazy? Yes, undoubtedly. Evil? Not quite. I don't think this governor is different. I think this episode is "replaying" how Woodbury came together through the governor's ruthlessness. This little spin-off in season 4 fills in questions we had in season 3 where we originally just assumed he was bat shit insane. We still know he's a little insane and cold-blooded, but we now have a better understanding that he's more logical than illogical in what he does, even if that logic is brutal and evil. But it's pretty obvious why they did this spin-off. Rick is re-portrayed as the benevolent leader, and the next two episodes the Governor is more sharply refined as the ruthless leader, and now the two leaders are going to come to a confrontation at some point. (Rick going to win, obviously) If you ignore the fact that season 3 ever existed, the confrontation that SHOULD happen will be more satisfying. It sucks they're backtracking and have basically taken two seasons to end the prison arc, but the way they ended season 3 was just terrible. At least they acknowledge it (implicitly) now. The quality of writing in season 4 compared to season 3 is night and day. edit: I also agree with the general sentiment about how unbelieveable this episode feels if you assume it takes place over a few days. If you assume it took place over a few weeks, then it makes more sense. | ||

Unless of course, they will magically have a bunch of soldiers in the next episodes after all. | ||

Apparently there's only one fucking road in that town, and it has mud zombies. Pretty god damn stupid of a reason, but that's how it seemed. I don't think they have any real significance. Maybe it was something along the lines of "well we're not going to find anything better, so we might as well stay". I think the point was more to show there was no redemption for him, but yeah, I thought in the end it was pretty lame. There's only one road out of town and it's blocked by mud zombies!!! NOOOOOO 10 minutes later, Governor rolls up to the prison in his new ride, completely bypassing mud zombies. Not to mention, super sneeky quiet zombie snuck into the camp and hid behind a sheet. | ||
