What really irked me was when Andrea, who had survived months & months with Michonne, alone in the woods, was able to be caught totally unawares so easily. She didn't hear him coming up behind her? I know, I know, suspension of disbelief & all that, but still...didn't like it

Yeah, i was pretty amazed at how easy it was for the Gov to find her. She isn't the sneakiest of people!
"I'm just going to walk down the middle of this road...crap there he is *hides behind tree*. Now I'm going to walk in the middle of this field where nobody can see me." :fp:

Ha! My thoughts exactly. When she left Woodbury I thought "don't run down the middle of the road you idiot!" Then she goes out in the middle of the field, although granted, that is probably safer in regards to walkers as she can see better than in a woods. But the big question: Why in the hell did she not take the Governor's truck when she left the warehouse? Even assuming that he had the key, surely they would have learned how to hotwire cars in the year since the ZA started.

Yeah, it seems at this point, I wouldn't even be overly concerned with the zombies. I mean, as long as you're not cornered or surprised, at nice steady walking pace is more than enough to "out run" them.

And isn't Woodbury on the verge of collapse?

Gas mileage man....gas mileage!

I guess the people of Woodbury are not as concerned with the environment as the group at the prison.

Yeah, I suppose the world as mostly zombies...the greenhouse gas emissions have probably gone waaaaaay down! It's amazing how natures works that stuff out!

she was exhausted physically and mentally I'm guessing. easy to be caught at that point.

running through the woods would have meant almost certain death. on the road, she can see the zombies coming. in the woods, not so much, as "tree hugger zombie" and "hippie girl zombies" showed.

"Oh no, zombies are coming!"
*Walks away*

I think it would be far scarier if the zombies were faster.

they are kind of like Jason Vorhees. You never see them running but they always catch up to you somehow!!

one thing that sort of bothered me was that the hitchhiker from a few episodes ago managed to survive, seemingly on his own, for over a year, and just because he can't catch a ride with rick he gets eaten? so he was ok for a year and then just got gobbled out of nowhere?

but I did love the scene how they went back for his backpack. talk about dark humour.

The hitchhiker could have been part of a group in a safe place that ran out of food or was over run by a herd, or he was in a safe secluded place until he ran out of food or other necessities. Or he might have been expelled from a group in a safe place.

That's kind of what I assumed. You probably can't go solo in a zombie apocalypse world for too long. But yeah, I don't see any reason why he would have gotten caught by the zombies unless he stopped for a bit and fell asleep. When we saw him, he appeared to have enough energy to keep walking.
Bad time to take a nap!

I dunno about that.

I think Tyrese, might see her locked up in that room and try and save her or something. I think that's when he finally "turns" on the governor.

I think Tyrese is hip to Andrea's jive already. and how did I miss that whatshername is Tyrese's sister? I thought that was his wife!

Me too - wife or girlfriend. I was shocked when I heard they were sister and brother. Although looking back they acted more like brother/sister than husband/wife.

I assumed they were married for a while!

Andrea is just an annoying character. There are so many good characters that are getting no love out of this season. That chase scene after she bolted Woodbury was laughable. Somehow the governor was hot on her tail after she ran through the woods? She runs out into an open field?! She stabs multiple Walkers through the skull with a tiny blade?! ....Please.

I welcomed the return of multiple zombies from dark corridors. That scene in the warehouse was pretty intense even though we all knew they would both get out alive.

Throughout these episodes I keep wondering why anyone is actually respecting the governor's authority. What kind of poison pill does this guy hold over these people? I don't understand how that "city" with so much available firepower isn't pure anarchy.

I'm encouraged by the possibility of some action in the coming episodes.
