What a let down. There was no closure!

Spoiler

I was hoping they'd bring everything to a closure. Now I'm left feeling like this is just another episode and that it's not over. And it's not... but now we have to wait for the next season.

Now what? Now they have like nearly 50 people at the prison that's still not secure, and with no supplies(they have brought up their lack of supplies many times this season). How the hell are they going to feed all of them? They should have taken the town. Not only is that town fully supplied(even with electricity) but the Governor wouldn't suspect that, and thus they could catch him off guard, rather than waiting for him to attack the prison again.

Absolutely nothing was resolved in this episode, there are cliff-hangers, and the god damn Governor is still alive! THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT FROM MY SEASON FINALES >:(

I feel like this entire episode was "oh, we know how much you love Andrea so we're going to make this entire episode about her!"

 

now we have to wait till next fall...

I'm just excited to see new opportunities for these new characters to take major roles  

Welp, now I wait for Breaking Bad. May God have mercy on my soul if Breaking Bad's finale is as big of a let down as this.

I can't believe they didn't kill the governor.... seriously? They better not be planning to make the next season about this governor vs. rick storyarch as well. That's just silly.

I know right? they totally steered away from the original plot of the show.. I'm tired of this whole "kill all living" case scenario

Exactly. Nothing was progressed in this episode. We have two things happening:

1) Andrea's survival
2) The war between Woodsbury and the Prison

Half of the episode was focused on Andrea's struggle... and she didn't make it. I don't like her, but don't make us sit and watch 30 minutes of her sitting in a chair trying to survive, only to kill her off.

The second half of the episode had no progression or closure. At least Andrea died. But they've spent ALL SEASON building up the tension between the prison and Woodsbury. They also spent all season developing the Governor's character... yet this entire episode just kept going along that line. There wasn't even a climax. Okay... the governor killed his entire army. We get it, he's ****ing nuts. We already know this, we don't need to waste the season finale on character development. Yet we're still back exactly where we were at the beginning of the season: a pissed off nutjob who wants Rick and everyone at the prison dead. And a prison full of people. NOTHING CHANGED.

I swear, I think whoever wrote this episode/season has no idea about story structure. It has sucked at every element of build-up, climax and closure.

I'm all for character development. I love seeing Rick become the person he was in the first season again. But not if it means ****ty story structure and deliverance. There has been amazing character development this season, but so many episodes this season have left me feeling bitter about the way episodes were ended/structured.  

I couldn't agree more, the entire season was trying to produce all this buildup but they just wasted their season finale not even accomplishing the thing they spent an entire season on...  

It's not even about zombies anymore, it's a total joke for a tv how now. I used to love to watch it. The first season was amazing, and the second season, even better. Third season, disastrous, and very unentertaining.  

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA DID YOU JUST SAY THE SECOND SEASON WAS THE BEST SEASON HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAH

i'm gonna watch it now, thanks for tagging your spoilers everybody except pimpsy. Dickhead.

Ya I don't like this. I saw an infograph... I think in total of the entire show zombies have accounted for a whopping... 3 deaths? While every other character was killed by a human.

Now zombies are nothing. They're not an obstacle, they're not threatening... or at least, they're not CONSISTENTLY written as a threat. They're only dangerous when the writers WANT them to be. Glen wrecks a ****ing zombie while CHAINED TO A CHAIR yet

Spoiler

Andrea can't deal with a single one with a room full of stabby things(it was implied she got out of the chair first).

I know they're exploring human dynamics during a zombie apocalypse, but it could be done better. They've basically made zombies background props, until the convenient moment they want bad **** to happen. Then suddenly they go from minor obstacles to "oh my god I can't kick this single walker away from me, the writers want me to die now!!!" plot devices.

I still enjoy the show, but I feel as though while the show is good, it could be better with a writer who knows how to properly structure the story. This season is like a jumbled mess, with so much merit, but gives me the impression the writers truly don't know what they're doing and just throwing **** together at the last minute. Take a show like Futurama, that feels so structured and has so many details that show the writers thought WELL ahead... and compare it to Walking Dead. Feels so unplanned and spontanious.

Exactly, I couldn't agree more. They're getting in depths with the characters, trying out the human dynamics, showing that humans are also a problem in the apocalypse. Yet, by doing so, they have removed the Zombies from the Tv show almost completely.

There is no action in the show anymore. It's simply a group of people discussing things having to do with the Governor, vice versa. The zombies are rarely mentioned, and usually used as decoration in the background. They aren't fearful anymore, the hordes are lessened and they are easier to manipulate. This was clearly the wrong direction for them to take, and yet they're still dragging it on.  

Does anyone wanna remind me why Carl is so mad at the beginning of the ep?

I thought it was because they decided to leave the prison, but they ended up staying and fighting... so I don't know. I think it's mostly because he has turned into a psycho asshole.
