so happy andrea is dead.....
andrea and lori were the two worst women characters on the show....
i think her character was beyond repair.....
carol was poorly written in the first 2 seasons, but i love her now....i think she is the most improved character on the show...i cant wait to see how she does in season 4
glenn is getting on the annoying side...too gun-ho for my liking

QFT!
And, what a way to let it go to waste. Rick knew they had crew served weapons. If his plan all along was to draw them in, then drive them out of the prison, why not draw them in, get Daryl on Ma Deuce, and when they call come running back out again, let Ma Deuce do what she was designed to do. End of threat.
I bet it will sit out there mounted to that hummer for all of next season, just rusting too.
That's one of the things that really irked me about this season. All they seemed to do was skulk in the prison all day. They didn't make any effort to make it better, clean the walkers out of the yard, repair the fence, establish a working perimeter, nothing.
That's one of the faults I have with the comic too though. I'm not sure what the ratio is, but I'm pretty sure we have a very large number of prior military types amongst our populace these days. It stands to reason that there'd be at least one such person who had the tiniest sense of tactical know-how amongst their group. You don't have to be ex Special Forces, hell, anyone who's been through Army/Marine basic training could have turned that prison into something very formidable.

*****, I hope you never have kids.
I know the readon is "it was in the comic" but I am in the group wondering why they left Woodbury. The prison has a whole in the back wall that the zombies keep getting through, the place is all shot up, and they all the fences and gates to repair.

Pretty sure Glenn and Maggie were missing intentionally just to drive the Woodbury folk out, and the only living person who they would have shot would have been the Gov.
IMO if they weren't going to go for it with an all out battle vs. Woodbury, the show should have ended the season last episode with Merle and Daryl as the fade to black. (Maybe throw 5 mins of Andrea/Milton beforehand as a cliffhanger). "This Sorrowful Life" was a much stronger episode than the finale.
Everything could have picked up with the Gov next season and started off with a couple battle eps/discovering Andrea dead... and More-issey which the producers clearly want.

I enjoyed the episode. Yeah, we didn't get an "Expendables" type of shootout, blow'em up whiz bang finale, but would that have been anymore realistic? Were talking about a town coming after a handfull of people, ambush them just like they did.
Carl told the other kid to drop the shotgun. The kid said "here, take it" while moving closer. That's not dropping it. I would have shot too.

Simple, The governor knows every in and out of woodbury, he knows it's strengths and weaknesses. The Prison is more easily defendable and is mostly unknown by him. The prison is the more logical choice for defense, as long as they get off their lazy asses and actually SET UP SOME DEFENSES!!!..

I caught that to, yes he did give her his 6 shooter, it didn't occur to me till later that, hey, we shouldn't have heard a shell hit the ground LOL

I don't think it was a shell casing. She still had the cuffs on, she got out of the chair by removing the arm rests, not the hand cuffs themselves. I think the sound you hear is the cuffs when her arm drops to her side.

That was a let down. I wanted and expect some wholesale changes - the pre-finale hype really made you think something more was going to happen.
What did we get? The expected - Andrea. She was the last of the Darabont faithful and to me, an even more predictable death than Merle last week (and I still think last week's episode was terrible - they should've just called it "Goodbye Merle" - because it sure was set up that way).
I know quite a few folks liked this season. It was somewhat empty for me... just never clicked. It had some solid moments. But ultimately, this season finale was just horribly predictable and lacked any sort of power or surprise.
Anyone else feel leaving the Governor still alive as unsatisfying as I did? The lack of a showdown between him and Rick (or even Darryl) just made it feel even more empty.
With all the interviews and hype leading up to this episode, I really thought we were going to get something special. A real reason to make The Walking Dead a special program - as I stated before, I thought they were going to do the unthinkable - kill Rick. That would've shown they were willing to take risks and really show that no one is safe... that WD is no holds barred television.
Killing Rick in the season finale just would've baffled everyone and let season 4 start in an amazing way and given Darryl (who is becoming the stand out to many) the 'big boy shoes' to wear. It could've also given Tyrese and Hershel larger, more important roles.
That's just my two cents - I thought they might've done it based on the hype (but I sure would'nt have bet on it). But, ultimately it's Rick's show and now that it is a success, it's likely that will be taking less and less real risks.

I just rewatched the whole season on Saturday. Someone mentioned (Hersel
or Glen) in the first few episodes that Rick had walked around the entire compound 4 times. He didn't see the hole in the building?
Mass sheeple.

It took Rick forever to figure out about Shane/Laurie... so he's not the most astute observer, even for law enforcement.
This is not even a father/son issue. Carl is becoming a man (earlier than he should have to, but the situation is what it is). His utter contempt for Rick is a destabilizing force in the group and he is setting himself up to become the next Shane. Rick will either deal with it now (while he does still have a shred of the parent/child thing in his favor or he will have to deal with it in a much harsher adult/adult manner later... like he did with Shane. If Rick is going to continue to lead this group, he absolutely cannot allow this to continue without dealing with it in one way or another.
