I don't see how people can feel disappointed about the episode OVERALL. While the whole attack on the prison fell apart so quickly was disappointing, see the governor finally snap and mow down all those people was pure brilliance. This is the moment when he literally lost it. Even his two lackies were scared off their minds. It was jaw dropping seeing that to me and i liked that they did that instead of going through a whole episode of just war.

The show is about the people, not so much the zombies. It's way more a drama/thriller than an action show anyways.

I admit, I was hating on Andrea for the entire season for being so oblivious, but her last moment really turned me around. She said "I wanted to make sure nobody died." or something along those lines. While we, the viewers, taught it was stupid that she was still with the governor, she didn't know the entire story until it was too late. She wanted to save everyone but as the governor and Carl said, you kill or die. Andrea's inability to kill off the governor when she had the chance got more people killed as a result, herself included, plus the neat little list Carl gave to Rick. Point being, Andrea still believed she could save everyone but dialogue just does not cut it in the Walking Dead Universe.

Last bit, Merle's sacrifice was in vain, which thinking on it now, was a pretty shifty move on the show's part and I am willing to admit through my biased glasses, the episode seemed rushed. I don't know why they didn't go for an extra half hour or another entire hour.

Characters I'm really interested next season are Daryl, Michonne, Carl and Tyrese.

The way Dale (Last season's old guy) died in the comic was epic awesome, "Tainted meat!".  On the TV show it was a yawn.

I thought it was quite a good final episode. Some things didn't seem right, I didn't like how the assault on The Prison was handled and how it was over so quickly, and I felt they left things a little bit too open. Still, it was quite an unpredictable episode and very entertaining.

As for that question about whether Carl should have shot the guy, I think he should have. He had plenty of time to drop his weapon, but he didn't, and it was pointing in their general direction. Dropping him was the safest option.

The governor will play a part of season 4.  It was in an interview on IGN, I think.  

The last episode...what the hell happened? The buildup to this episode was really good, but then...

1.) The assault on the prison: Guys running through some empty rooms, no traps besides the few zombies and the barbed wire at the beginning set. Also, the main attack unit of Rick's group consists of the Asian and his GF attacking the flanks while the rest does almost nothing...fail. Also, they were hyped as being widely superior (tougher, more accurate etc.) and still hit nothing -_-

2.) We get it, Carl is some fucked up kiddo...

3.) Andrea is a monkey, not a woman - confirmed. Not being able to simultaneously talk and pick up the tool...I thought all women were capable of multitasking. Well, I never liked her anyways...

4.) No showdown between Rick and the Governor? I'm really disappointed...

Good to see me and my friend wasn't the only one's who felt "thats it" after the show.

I thought it was a strong episode, but not for a season finale.  What I thought they didn't do right was the Rick/Govenor standoff.  The way they hyped it I thought it would be an episode long fight almost.  The way it sounded in the interview the govenor will not be the main focus and will only be like a recurring character who will give the group some sort of trouble.  But, I agree they should have killed him off in the finale. 

The interview also stated that there will be some fairly big changes in season 4.  Hopefully that means better writing, better zombies, and not so many filler episodes. 

I'm thinking merle played the one handed part instead of rick and they won't to it to Rick.  But, I don't know who did it to Rick.  I'm trying to read the comics, but I keep stopping for like 3-4 months then go back to it.

I think the entire season was strong. I dont have a single complaint. I just watched it from start to finish. They did a good job ending. This season was a lot better than 2each episode making me wanting to play the next immediately. I would really like to know what you guys thought were fillers.

they weren't scared by lights. They were scared by flash bangs. They were probably blind and hand ringing in their ears. Probably didn't know what was going on. There old women and men and young children among them. I bet when the shooting started half the people dropped their guns and went running.

Why wouldn't you like the most annoying character dying? And why would you burn useful resources? Sounds like a bad idea to me
