I know the season finale isn't worth watching when the supposedly best scene involves carl and it isn't him dying

They had better snap kill the governor first episode and find a reason to leave the prison or I have little faith that this show will be even remotely worth watching in S4

if you had told me this before the finale, I'd be pissed. But this is way better than him running away and never coming back. I do hope it doesn't take up the entire season.

I'm not comfortable with naming him best, but he clearly wins "most improved".

His list of accomplishments this season is long, but these stand above the rest:

1. Putting a bullet in Lori's face.
2. Putting Rick in his place and demanding that he man up and stop being a little bitch all the time.
3. Holding down the fort every time Rick takes the fighters to go lollygag around somewhere.
4. Taking care of business.

Does it makes sense to anyone that the sheriff offed all those people and nobody shot back? Seriously though, they all had guns and took shots with no resistant
.
Come on, I'm x military, but it doesn't take a genius to pull a trigger.

That's the only reasoning I could think of, as well. As secure as Woodbury is, the Governor is still on the loose with his two henchmen. The remaining lookout posts at the prison (the armored walkways) are safer than the posts on top of the walls at Woodbury. It would be pretty easy for the Governor to snipe the guards there, especially with his aimbot.

Plus, like you said, he knows the ins and outs of the place.

I found it odd, as well, but I chalked it up to being frozen in shock combined with the fact that most/none of them were really "killers." They were just healthy bodies recruited to pew-pew.

I'm actually a little surprised that one of the henchmen didn't off the Governor, but they are probably in shock and confused as hell. And again, scared of the Governor's aimbot.

I had more trouble believing that they just stood there and took it instead of scattering and ducking for cover. It's just a device of the show. Remember the national guard unit at the start of the season didn't return fire nor duck into their vehicles when the goons shot them.

Yeah, the show is far more interesting when the group is on the move. If they remain at the prison I don't know what they could do to make it exciting.

Mixed on the finale...one the one hand you have:

Andrea dead = win
Milton dead = win,
Most of Woodbury dead = win...then...

Gov alive = loss, I really thought it wasn't going to stretch out to S4 but not all that surprised.
Rick = the savior of the dammed or some ****...= wtf + loss, like he is the messiah with a higher purpose going to save the world.

I still like the show and will watch S4 but the direction now is like...wtf.

I watched the second half of the season on one computer monitor while reading websites on the other, glancing over to TWD when action happened and trying to ignore all the long drawn out soap opera moments. Too bad most of the action sucked as well.

I don't know why I watch TWD anymore, except that, as others say, there is so much potential in a post-apocalyptic zombie scenario. Laughable, awful finale, but I'm bored of criticizing this show. That was the lamest war ever. I also hate that there's no larger universe, no rumors of bigger communities or threats, no speculation of what's happening in other countries, no attempts to setup any communication system. The fact it gets high ratings is a rather profound reflection on the average American TV viewer, which is something that will stick with me, but other than that, I hope I'm done with this show.

I know it seems like the right thing to say, but this is just wrong. Even though I can't give full verification, we should assume the "average" TV viewer is the amount of viewers it takes to get a show renewed. For a scripted drama, that's typically around a 2.0 in the 18-49 demo, with a 2.2 being the minimum necessary on CBS, at this time. If I wanted to be more generous, I could put shows that get around a 3.0 in the 18-49 demo, and call them filled with average viewers. That would help include shows like NCIS. The problem is that The Walking Dead is CRUSHING all of these "average" renewed shows in the 18-49 demo. The finale had a 6.4 in the 18-49 demo, so what that tells you is that it is not only the average TV viewer who is watching this show, it is many other types of people who do not typically watch network TV shows. A lot of people in this thread watch the show to make fun of it, but there are many who still enjoy it despite also making fun of it (I am one of those).

This is not a terrible show, by any standards (it has very high production value for the budget), but it never lives up to its potential, and much of the dialog is just painful to listen to. It's basically a very mediocre show that has somehow connected with a mass audience (the average viewer, the dumb viewer, the smart viewer, the niche viewer, etc.). There's basically something for everyone to latch on to, and that's what makes it work for this uncommonly large audience in the 18-49 demo. Keep in mind, we aren't even talking about DVR ratings, where this show probably has large expansions in audience that we never hear about. During the finale night, the episode was on at some point in a way that could be measured in approximately 9.4 percent of all households that have television sets, despite only 70 percent of households with TV sets having AMC. That is mindblowing when you think about it.

As a final note about that, what's even more impressive is that it crushes all network TV despite being available in 30 percent fewer homes. This show is the epitome of an aberration in typical TV viewing habits, so blaming it on the average American TV viewer just doesn't really fly.

I hope they make a much better job in S4 otherwise I will just watch the show the same way I watch porn - skip to the best parts and ignore 90% of the entire movie (lol)

The Governor surviving is basically Count Dooku surviving. Flat, boring villain nobody seems to like or care about, but the people behind the production think he's greatest thing. The story arc is weak with him & they should have wrapped it up in the finale. There really wasn't a finale at all when you think about it. Nothing got resolved or changed much, Andrea dying doesn't impact the group in any real way.

Agree w/ this also. Take 28 Days Later for comparison, they move to at least half a dozen locations in 2 hours flat.

The headshots do bother me too. Nobody is that good of shot on a zombie and then misses an easy shot.
