I didn't think the finale was all that weak. There were no shocking developments or cliffhangers or really anything to lead into next season aside from the Carl stuff, which I think is what's turned a number of people off the episode, but it wrapped everything up pretty nicely for the season and left the governor out there for a return.
I'm glad they didn't just go with an all out gun fight between the two sides. We saw that at the middle point of the season so we didn't really need a repeat of it. |

I know they're coming back for another season, but that ending felt more like a series finale than a season finale.
The Governor hell bent on revenge with just two other people isn't quite as menacing, especially with the way the raid flopped. I'd be kind of pissed if he was able to criss-cross Georgia and convince more people to follow him for no reason at all and have them agree to attack a group they don't know. Seems like all potential internal strife is gone too. I guess they could do some kind of power struggle between Carl and his dad, but I don't particularly care for that storyline and think it will be tiring very quickly. I'm sure they'll come up with something, but if the show would have ended on this note, I wouldn't have been too upset with the way it ended. |

I haven't read the comics, so I don't know if it's ever addressed, but I wouldn't mind if they went away from Rick's group altogether for the first half of Season 4 and just explored the origin of the virus in some way and then caught up to Rick's group fast forward two or three years to account for growth spurts and such and used that second half to introduce new threats and explain whatever changes occurred to the group dynamics occurred over that period of time.

Nice finale, and a huge "fuck you" to all the people on here who were sooooo dead-set sure that either Glenn of Maggie would die.
I love the unpredictability of this show, and by not having all-out warfare was a nice move. Carl is basically gonna turn into Shane now, but I think it's interesting. I know it's hard for Rick to see this, but I guess when surviving countless zombie attacks, wars with other camps and limitless death, I can see how a young kid could start to become a lot more ruthless. I just hope it doesn't turn into a full-on falling out between Rick and Carl. I also like that the Governor vanished. I know people are expecting a return, would be interesting if he didn't. If he just accepted his loss and moved on, though I was kinda hoping Martinez and that black dude had killed him. Overall fantastic season. Now comes the long wait for season 4. Probably gonna go back and watch all three seasons again at some point. |

In the 6 month it will be off, I hope they tighten things up a bit. A time jump sound right. Hopefully they will get back to some good plot lines that don't include too much internal strife. At this point it is over used. The new members from Woodbury will hopefully produce some good characters including kids for Carl to hang with. Hopefully there not just fodder.
I'd rather live in a town than in a prison. |

Whattt, why have I only just seen that the bird who plays Beth is actually 27 years old? Swerve having her and Carl having any sort of relationship, that's much creepier than her and Rick now I know that.

Quite a departure from the "nutshell" comic joke of "1)Rick tells Carl to go in the house. 2) Carl's never in the fucking house!" This Carl doesn't need to hide in the goddamn house. Being stupid and not "pulling the trigger" already cost someone their life, and he showed us he's not going to let that happen again. Like a boss. Quote:
Seriously, they did too much establishing on Martinez (and Gov., obviously) to have them fuck off and die offscreen. |

I was rooting for Carl to blast that Woodbury goof the whole time. When I tell you to drop the gun, I mean drop it mother fucker. Don't look at me like you wanna suck my cock and continue towards me. Gonna be a bad day for you.

Yeah. For a second I actually thought the guy was going to feign like he was going to drop it and then end up shooting Herschel or something. The way the scenario was presented I would have done the same thing. If someone points a gun at you and says drop your weapon, you're not going to creep closer towards them with your gun still in your hand.

I don't see how you can not side with Carl, if someone is pointing a gun at your face and are outnumbered, you drop the fucking thing. Not hand it to them, but drop it. It's nice to see Carl turning into the psycho/getting shit done comic book character without the need for *COMIC SPOILER*
SPOILER: show The final moments weren't as hard hitting as previous season finales, it felt more like a mid season break. Andrea just bugged the crap out of me so didn't really 'feel' for her death. But it was nice to see Michone be more human than usual and show emotion. Sucks that Milton has gone, he was an interesting character and was hoping he would somehow make it over to Rick's side but there we go. Gov going absolutely batshit was pretty awesome but didn't really make much sense, but he's a pretty twisted fucker now so expect some good things for next season. Also, Maggie must be the only person who can make a SWAT uniform sexy. |

I thought for sure that Andrea was going to get her distinctive scar that she has in the comics while strapped in the torture chair, but I'm satisfied with how things turned out for her, she was annoying the hell out of me.

The Gov needs to take a season off. Let him comeback in season 5 on a whole new level of psycho.

My entire knowledge of Saturday Night Live is that I think those lonely island guys maybe started on that, and there's some sort of Will Ferell sketch about a cowbell.

I just thought it was from a movie called Night at the Roxbury. Did not realize the movie was based from some SNL thing.

The one thing that bugged me, throughout the entire season, was why didn't they clear the prizon of zombies? Even the internal parts of the yard so they don't have to distract the zombies everytime they want to leave? They're running low on stuff so instead of going through the prison to check they just stay in that one cell block, and then wander around later and get randomly atttacked?

Yes, I realise that's on par with the paper mache zombie head argument from earlier.
