[QUOTE=Chief Martini;43041967]This episode started off well but ended horridly. I mean, really? Michonne escaping with the usual ninja bullshit? Governor being killed just before he kills off the protagonist in the most cliche, PG-12 rated scene ever in the entirety of the series? Daryl being stuck between a horde of zombies, 2-5 soldiers firing at him with automatic rifles, and a tank, and ending up killing literally /everything/, including a tank? Literally the only people dying on the prison team being Hershel and some baby who's had like 20 minutes of screentime in the entire season?
Really, I expected better from Kirkman. But at least the whole prison thing is over.[/QUOTE]
The fuck do you want from the show, that was like literally the best episode of the season. All that action played out perfectly. Believe it or not sometimes people are capable of killing a lot of other people while not even getting nicked, it's happened plenty in real life. None of those people were "soldiers" either, except for the tank driver, so I'm not surprised they aren't the greatest shooters. The Rick/Governor fight was great, my only complaint was that he didn't get a line or two more as he died. And tanks aren't that great for urban warfare by themselves, you're acting like it's the hand of god
[sp]The girl shooting those two people was pretty unexpected.[/sp]
but yeah, that was a lot better than I expected
THAT was a fucking episode my goodness.
[QUOTE=anOKcode;43041951]Amazing episode, my hearts still pounding. [sp]Morrissey was fantastic the whole 2 seasons. I don't know if he's dead or not, I have a feeling that Lily may not have shot him but I fucking hope he is, even though he's my favorite by far. Don't understand why Michonne wouldn't have finished him off. It'd feel like a cop-out if he came back AGAIN.[/sp]
Probably the best episode ever of TWD.[/QUOTE]
Well, Michonne likely left him there to die because she wanted to have him suffer, just like all the other people he ends up killing in the series. She saw the torture chamber, and viewers saw him shoot Merle and leave him to reanimate, so it's only fitting that that happened. Since the screen blacks out, the gunshot could easily be the Governor's, but that's pretty unlikely, unless they really want to stretch out the Governor plot arc.
I really like the episode but not THAT much. I really liked it one end but on the other, this whole thing happened in one episode. They made half the season about the flu, 2 episodes about the governator returning (which didnt add anything to the taking over the prision subplot) then to conclude it all in one episode. Still though it was a really good episode that the group is everywhere and now were finally moving on.
The governor was team killed,he needs to be respawned.
It's not an episode of the walking dead without saying it was disappointing, despite being the best damn episode

Best in the season yeah.
Best in the show, no.
Loved the episode, but it had two problems. One being the Gov's followers are idiotic as hell.
Anyway, I've been trying to keep a tally on who went with what group. But they did make it pretty confusing.
That was fantastic, best episode in the series to date.

I understand sometimes people are very lucky in killing a lot of others but you can't deny that the fact it's pretty dumb it's always the heroes who get lucky in their kills (/especially/ this episode) and dodging bullets (i.e. Rick running 5 meters while being shot at by 10 soldiers with AR's and only getting shot in the leg). It's like plot armor and more of a fanservice to (for instance) Daryl fangirls who will be squeeling their eyes out after seeing Daryl be an immortal badass once more.
(comic spoilers) I understand that [sp]they can't fire the entire supporting cast in a single episode, but I still feel like too many people were left alive. It was so devastating in the comics because it wasn't just one big death, loss of the prison, and group separation. It was everyone's death, not to mention there were many more main characters killed off as well. We had a lot of cannon fodder death, in this episode. But honestly, if it weren't for the prison loss, this would've only been a minor setback for them. It was the deaths of Lori and Judith that hit the hardest. But Hershel, Tyreese and Axel fell too. In the comics, even if they kept the prison, it would've been the most devastating thing ever. There was a small group off-site, but overall it was a slaughter of every character we loved.
I feel like the group of survivors that split off from Rick and Carl should've been much smaller. As in just Maggie, Glenn, Daryl, and Tyreese. Not a bus full of people.[/sp]
Daryl vs Tank.
Tank never stood a chance.

That Daryl standoff, no matter how badass, made me cringe because of the sheer ridiculousness.
[sp]After reading the comics between the first two seasons, I stopped caring for the show. But the one and only reason I stuck with it was to see this episode. I am so glad it finally happened. The longer this episode went, the more I feared they would end on an anti-climatic cliffhanger.[/sp]

There goes people[sp]expecting some kind of lesbian romantic sub-plot.[/sp] Speaking of Lily and her daughter, [sp]we never did get to see them leave the prison. There's going to be a helluva a lot of groups to follow if they did also escape so I wonder if they'll link up with some of the prison crew.[/sp]
Maggies actress is so hot.
I don't think they'll be following the 'new' prison group. Most of them are just redshirts with no character and Lily is probably just gonna off herself.

why is throwing a grenade down a tank barrel ridiculous

Honestly the most ludicrous was Tyreese, it was a great setup for the children to get their own glory, but he must've covered like 6 yards without getting hit once and maintaining the same distance.
[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;43042208]why is throwing a grenade down a tank barrel ridiculous[/QUOTE]
I think we can all agree that the grenade down the barrel of the tank was believable, but Daryl using a rotten zombie corpse to shield himself from gunfire was a bit over the top
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;43042206]I don't know what some of you want out of this show. That was amazing. If you thought it was "too cheesy", I have no idea how you got past season 2.[/QUOTE]
Hell even episode one for that matter.
Also the crossbow bolt to the heart really was kickass.
[sp] what a boring fucking episode. governor this governor that blah blah blah governor [/sp]
[quote] That was fantastic, best episode in the series to date. [/quote]
[sp] That kind of logic will end the show. Episodes like this should be few and far between or the point of the struggles become completely meaningless. Less people surviving and building up characters simply to splat them for the feels will wear thin, there are plenty other shows where you can see this happen, and the fact that less people are reading TWD now than during the lead up to issue 100 mean that even Kirkman's "aw you like her, let's kill her super murder pron style" that defined the comic since the beginning isn't going to hold up forever. Yeah it was a ->great episode<-, but it also set a precedent, and if they keep pulling stuff like this every half season, the show is simply going to become redundant for pretty obvious reasons. You can't just splode people everytime you need ratings or there's a season break. Context and content is king, and you ignore that law at your peril. It wasn't the best episode by a mile.[/sp]
I thought the whole thing was sweet, but alright. It did a good job of entertaining while, in my opinion, not being too ridiculous. People can accomplish a lot of things under enough adrenaline.
Some people on here are so cynical that I don't get how they get enjoyment out of anything.
I dont think anyone here hates Daryl. He's a good character.
Its his fandom we hate. Fandoms ruin a lot of things. Daryl included.
[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;43042208]why is throwing a grenade down a tank barrel ridiculous[/QUOTE]
It was the fact he took down two soldiers on his own by shielding himself from like an entire magazine of bullets with a rotting zombie corpse (which usually are unbelievably squishy and can be ripped apart by simply using hands), even though just before that he seemed to be in a lot of trouble (again the simple cliche of 'oh oh, how is the hero going to get out the sticky situation this time!' which is disappointing) and after which he just hopped a grenade into a tank (which apparently thought it was more important to shoot empty windows instead of actual people).
Again, don't get me wrong, the episode was very tense but cheesy moments like this just really ruined what it could have been.

[sp]This episode should have happened a season and a half ago. If this isn't few and far between enough for you then I don't know what it.[/sp]
i like how always theres hate for this series, and i totally get the reasons, but long ago, i started not giving a fuck about being disappointed, honestly, theres so much material they get right and live up to the comics in terms of acting, setting, plot, they could make it so much shit seeing other adaptions and series, that im just glad im getting something i can really see and care about, its a series over superrealism, so i now those moments of lightly cheese are in, and im not complaining because at least for me, they work. Its not like i achieve some improving by criticizing the series, so its a good ride for me, and cant wait for February to see whats coming up, since ricks actor already said there are far more ambitious things coming up than this episode.
does anybody know where to find a good place to view tonight's episode? I kind of missed out on the livestream and most i found so far are laggy and horrible.

I actually sort of agree with you, but I'm glad we got to see how it "should have" went down. [sp]I can't wait for them to get out on the road.[/sp]
[sp]Also rip the random guy on the poster[/sp]
I think some people here need to remember how to spoiler tag shit.
