Ain’t nobody got time for that
I thought the season finale was solid. Andrea needed to go, as did Allen. Before the last two episodes, the Governor was just not that villainous - moderately bad, but not down right evil. He really turned it up in the last two shows. Mowing down the Woodbury militia was unexpected. Torturing and killing Milton was also a surprise. I thought Milton would die this episode, but not that way.
The dynamic between Rick and Carl is intriguing. Until recently, Rick had the mindset of do what it takes to protect the group. It was the group against what's left of the world- undead and alive. Now he is back to trying to prrotect not only the group, but humans in general. Carl is now in the us against the world mindset. We will see how it pans out.
Of course there were things to nitpick about, but all in all I really liked the finale.

Not bad...the Governor's killing spree shocked me and so, so glad to see Andrea gone. Milton's death was kind of shocking...I thought he would be alive until the next season. However...I was not a fan of that scene. Andrea, per the usual, won't shut the fuck up and just get free. She would rather try to drum up conversation while Milton turns into a zombie. Love Karl murking that kid though...no need to take any chances.

Wow, what a tremendous letdown. Didn't like anywhere they were going at all with anyone, more or less.
I found myself yelling at the screen: "Don't you fuckers do it...don't you try and make that stupid bitch into a sympathetic figure now after all of that...Don't you fucking do it..." And then they did it. And they did a horrible job of it. And the Michonne, who said she "traded a friend for a warm bed" suddenly goes Little House on the Prairie? WTF? Horrible.
So Karl=Shane=Karl. Are we going to get a reverse Darth Vader thing going here? Is Karl the new cross between Shane and the Governor? And did anyone else find themselves saying "Well, he is his father's son" when he was telling Rick how his letting people go led to people getting capped? That was Shane 101.
SO they do the whole thing of spending almost 1/4 of the last 3 episodes playing up the Maggie and Glen and then Big Pappa thing...and absolutely nothing came of any of it. Maggie and Glen go Rambo for like 30 seconds and a few rounds, everyone runs, and all of a sudden it is all Ozzie and Harriet I guess. Don't get it. At all. Why waste the time with a red herring like that? Took a page from The Killing I guess.
All the deaths were from Woodbury. All of them. WTF is that? I mean I know they want to bring people back, but seriously? Expect another scenario where they bring characters back that have done nothing, spend 2 eposides re-playing them up, then capping them quickly...call it the T-Dog effect.
The only thing I liked was the Governor going apeshit on his own. The scene was well done, if predictable. The fact that there are 3 of them out there now still lends them to being a menace next year from the guerilla role, which should suit them well. So that was very anti-climactic, but at least it is consistent with the character and will set something useful up.
So now the Prison is Metropolis? Can't see that working out well. And again, so much for the whole democracy thing they spent so much time building up last week...Rick decides to bring everyone back, and everyone else has to go along. Another Killingesque red herring I guess.
All in all very disappointed. I thought the build-up over the last 3-4 episodes was very well done. This one fell flatter than Kate Moss's tits. Not killing off the Governor (and killing off that annoying bitch Andrea) will bring most of us back next year, but I don't know if I am interested in a Rick versus Karl season 4-5, because it looks like that is where they are going with it.

So Andrea, who was attached to a tree by a zombie...with 3 other zombies in her face...can get out of that just fine. But when she has at least 1 hand free, maybe 2 (i forget since that scene was just that dumb), can't manage to kill the biggest pussy left on the planet once he becomes a zombie. Not that I'm rooting for her...but kick him away and free your other hand, then fuck him up.

I was just coming to post the same thing the more I thought about it...or even better, the dumb bitch had a perfectly good set of pliers in her hand, and one arm free...just jam the fucker into his eye socket as he approaches! Jesus, they've done it 1000 times on the show. She could have impaled him with the pliers and then taken her sweet fucking time freeing her other hand...

Also, Andrea striking up convo with near-zombie Milton instead of freeing herself was unfathomable too. They certainly made it easy to hate her character...that whole scene was ridiculous.

She got scratched/bitten with a matter of a few extra seconds between Milton the Monster and safety.
Spend at least a few minutes talking and/or looking at soon to be dead Milton.

So the plan was to lure them inside a prison, and then ambush them when they were allowed to leave the prison?
