Wow - how can you argue against such a well formed and persuasive case? You have me persuaded...

Well yeah lol

But the problem is two of you loved it, the rest in the thread thought it sucked.

Nexus18 · 2 Apr 2013 at 01:08

As they say haters gonna hate.

not got anything better to watch or do with your time rather than watch a show that you find so bad?

Always just "omg boring/crap episode" :rolleyes:

As duffman said, seems people can't seem to grasp/understand what this show is actually about.

It's hardly as black and white as that is it? "everyone else thought it sucked". Really?

But what of it anyhow? I've explained what I liked about it - I don't care whether anyone agrees with me or not. I saw so much quality throughout this series, like a carefully sculpted piece of art. It has constantly amazed me that others don't appreciate all the facets the way that I seem to. But it is, after all, simply a matter of taste. As I mentioned earlier, the fact that it is by far the most watched show in US cable history suggests that there are people other than me who appreciate the show.

But whatever. If you want a thread dedicated to hating the show, then start your own thread: "The Walking Dead Sucks Donkey Balls But I Still Watch It Every Week So That I Can Whinge". Or just take over this one. I'm out of it either way.

wish I didnt watch all the previews or trailers for this episode ...

Well it was a bit of a let down this last episode - I might have enjoyed it better if not for the above.

I thought it was kind of lame - kind of like a 'hollywood ending type thing' - but I guess they leave a lot of plot holes so they can do whatever they want the next season (hoping there is one) - geez do I really have to wait till next year for it?
btw just got done reading both the books rise of the governer and road to woodberry - not too bad - only complaint is they are short.

Don't know anything about the comics, but I think it's lame that governor is just let loose like that, seemed like his time is well overdue. On the other hand, I really liked everything else in this episode, lots of 'straight to the point' moments.

Regarding the guy who wouldn't shoot the governor, I think it was totally conceivable why he wouldn't shoot. I don't think it was an issue with him not wanting to kill him, but simply a moment of indecision (which cost him his life, with nothing in return). Think about all the possible scenarios here:

A) He fires - Very slim chance of survival, as he would mostly likely get shot by the two henchmen or even the governor himself.

B) He doesn't fire and lowers his gun - Slim chance of survival, but given just how insane the governor is, it's unlikely he can get out of it alive.

C) He doesn't raise his gun at all - Best chance of survival, but could he live with himself?

Three very difficult decisions to make in such a short amount of time, give the guy a break.

i was worried they would let him go as they might not have many interesting ideas to come and are gunna milk it by keeping him alive.

this is why i wanted him dead. not enjoyed series three or two.

its been a long time coming but thank god that stupid bint Andrea is dead!

Black Dynamite · 2 Apr 2013 at 09:42

Only have a few comments really, I thought it was a good way to show how insane the Governor is by having him murder his group of "soldiers"but I wish he'd have been killed off as this story arc was already dragged out.

Carl is going to turn into Shane if he carries on.

And finally ...

ANDREA IS DEAD!!! I can't explain how relieved I am at this

wtf???

She killed herself, i mean come on!

She had less of a wound than the old man who had his leg chopped off and the guy with a stab wound, this show, stupid sometimes.

She'd been bitted, probably ages ago too, what exactly are they going to do?

If people think it was crap, then they think it was crap. The weight of opinion in this thread was that it was a very poor finale, which is my view also. How very childish of you to presume to label us because we saw a sub-standard show and complained that we expected more. If you enjoyed it, then good for you; you are clearly very easily pleased. Have a cookie :rolleyes:

someone explain how chopping the old mans leg off stopped him turning considering the fact we know everyone is already infected but you don't turn until you die which is why people who die from normal injuries without a walker biting them still turn.

Gimpymoo · 2 Apr 2013 at 10:44

At first, I felt a little disillusioned about the finale.

Having watched it again, I think it is good that the finale was not what we all expected.

I think this has also blew Season 4 right open in terms of what to expect.

As a standalone episode, I think this season had some exceptional episodes so they set a VERY high expectation.

In terms of progression, there were some very good questions being asked this episode.

I had the same question myself.

Surely trauma like that could cause someone to die anyway if not attended to almost immediately?

It did seem more than a graze.

Did Sophia have a similar bite?

Could be an easy cop out answer such as, there's two infections, one which reanimates, one which kills you.

Or, the bite is a catalyst triggering the original infection, spreading from the wound, which was prevented by removing the leg.

Oh yeah, trauma could have killed him, they didn't know if they'd saved him, he'd still lost a lot of blood etc, hence why he was cuffed.

She was bitten... The show established very early on that if you get bitten or scratched then you get a very heavy fever, then die and resurrect as a Walker. She was already dead, and so wanted to end things on her own terms rather than suffer and come back as a zombie.

Hershal's leg was a special case - he was bitten at one of his extremities, and had his leg amputated within a minute - before the infection could spread.

That's the thing, we have not explicitly seen this, at least in october of last year I had remembered to check as best I could that we never saw anyone die of minor wounds. Everyone that I could recall had major wounds, wounds that without proper medical attention may, very likely kill you regardless of the fact there are walkers.

However, Dr Jenners wife and Morgans wife both died from being infected and getting a fever, but we don't know what the circumstances were that they got infected.

So we come down to Andrea, giving up all so easy; a single bite wound and didn't even give herself a chance. After having someone have their flesh torn from their calf and manage to survive you'd probably assume one would give a single bite a chance.

Can find me something I've forgotton (anyone?); everyone's had either traumatic damage done to their bodies, major bloodloss orsecondary infection to the walker one. As for some others, well they disappeared. So that's the common theme. I don't like how they've written this, it feels like they haven't thought things through, an unbelievable set of characters in a fictional world. Instead of believable characters.

I suppose the cops who were walkers without bite wounds may be a case, but what exactly happened there again?

Martini1991 · 2 Apr 2013 at 12:02

Dale's friend didn't get a massive bite did he?

This was established with Jim in the first series.

He had a very minor bite on his chest. He got a heavy fever, then died. It was made clear from the reactions of the other characters that they had seen this process happen before when someone is bitten or scratched.

Morfik · 2 Apr 2013 at 13:29

This series has been a little disappointing, I think there's so much they could do with the show than the fairly stagnant storylines. They've created a really interesting and gritty world that we only see tiny bits of. They really need to spend some more time building up some new characters too, as there's only a couple of interesting ones in there now.
