    It was so sad, I can't stop thinking about it. That was such good acting. He was sad and angry at the fact that Merle went off by himself and got him killed. Merle basically left Daryl all alone in the world.

    Season finale tonight!

    I'm expecting atleast one person from the group to die, and maybe the governor aswell. (i say maybe because that dude is so sneaky he might actually escape somehow and return for vengeance later)

If that zombie hadn't attacked him and if he hadn't defended himself so vigorously, he could have stayed in hiding and killed most of the governor's people and maybe the governor himself. I'm surprised he died though.

    I was expecting that the matter with the governor would be concluded...

    Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.

    Maybe one of the governer's henchmen will pull a Boardwalk Empire and assassinate him?

    I don't expect the governer to create another army, though. Everyone he cared about is basically dead, and that seemed to be the only reason he made the community. Michonne and Rick should still watch their backs, though.

    I don't think either of his remaining 2 henchman have the initiative or the resolve to do that. They are two of the most cliched henchmen ever, the big black one has had maybe 1 line the entire series. I'm surprised he escaped, but I guess like Merle he'll reappear to be a constant thorn in the survivors' toes. He'll probably recruit new people with his charm and lies, then be a problem for Rick and co again.

    I just watched the finale, pretty blown away with what happened. I'm happy Andrea is finally dead, though the writers really trolled us hard during her escape scenes. I don't like that the survivors accepted all those old people into their fold. I know it helps show their humanity but they really need more able-bodied men and women to defend them.

    I watched 'Talking Dead' after the finale, and they brought up a good point that old people might die in their sleep and turn into zombies during the night... that's actually a legitimate concern i had not thought about lol

    Another reason to not let them in, though I'd be surprised if they actually addressed the possibility in the show. And for that matter, what about the baby? If she suffered sudden infant death syndrome, she could turn into a zombie.

    Andrea died? I guess their going to do their own version and stop following the comics...

    I think the viewing audience had had enough of her and wanted her gone. The writers obliged, but did so in the most frustrating way possible, making us think she might survive. The audience is rather fickle though (the hate for Lori for example) so maybe the writers shouldn't listen to them.

    Dat moment when she was trying to break free before Milton turned, and she kept stopping to chat with him, only to get bitten because of it.

    Classic dumbass Andrea.

    They've been doing their own version from the very beginning, TV show Andrea was nothing like comic book Andrea.

    Yeah, but the overall story was more or less the same, if Andrea is dead, Philip alive, and Rick won the battle; I don`t really see how the story can go on, and I had hopes Andrea would eventually become a badass, but no.

    It's not like Andrea is the first long lived comic book character to die too soon in the TV show, and it's not the overall story that's been the same but the themes for each arc.

    That's what I meant by the writers trolling with us. They played with our emotions, half wanting her to hurry up and escape and half glad she's so dumb and doomed to die. Worse, she was free when zombie Milton attacked her, and she still got bit and died.

    I wonder what Michonne was doing exactly when Andrea shot herself with that hand-cannon. She probably got hearing damage.

    ****MINOR COMIC BOOK SPOILERS BELOW***

    Yeah, they've pretty much been doing whatever they wanted since like, S01E03. If they really wanted to be faithful to the comics, Shane would have died when he was aiming the gun at Rick in the forest during that one scene (as far remember).

    Andrea's death doesn't worry me so much as the fact that they weren't run out of the prison. This is a total departure from the comic in like every way, so I'll be interested in seeing what they'll do.

    The show seems to be reluctant to have set changes. They stayed at the farm house entirely too long, too.

    Not really, i can easily see how they would transition from this into the next arc in the comic.

    The only REAL loose end is the Governor and how he currently stands, and they could still easily incorporate him into the next arc since that one didn't have any main villain.

    I've read mostly negative reviews about the season finale and it boggles my mind. I guess they're comparing it to the comics because the episode on its own was awesome and moving, and the entire season has been good. I'll admit I almost cried the second time I watched the episode and the old folks were being helped into the prison. Not sure why that got me emotional but something about having women to take care of the baby and maybe bring Carl back to the light was a hopeful and touching scene.

    And now they'll have Tyrese and his friend (sister, wife?) back in the fold. No more Merle and no more Andrea to inflame the senses.

    Only thing I couldn't stand about the finale was, you guessed it, Andrea. She kept stopping to look at Milton every five seconds instead of reaching for... whatever it was.. to set herself free.

    I can only hope now that shes finally dead that the show will improve. If they learn from this past season about which episodes worked better than others then we'll see more ones like when Rick, Carl, and Michonne went out. And less like.... well... most of this season.
