good god that looks just horrible

i saw it two weeks ago. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. There were some good parts, some bad parts and some funny parts. Probably best to rent it went it comes out on DVD/blu-ray though.

Just watched it.
Good episode, but that gun battle was ridiculous! It reminded me of an 80's action drama like the A-Team or Knight Rider...lots of shooting, but nobody ever gets hit! :fp:
Both sides had high power rifles with large clips....a 2 year old would have been able to take out the guy in the tower. Someone needs to tell Maggie to use the damn scope! :fp:

Anyways, it really looked like a chick was driving that zombie truck, but I really doubt it was Andrea. What I don't get...
The Governor and his small team of gunmen, take out Axel and get into a large gun battle against the prison, then leave. Um, what is the point? Are they trying to lure Ricks group out and actually want them to attack Woodbury? Seems like the Governor is putting a lot of innocent people in the line of fire if that's his true plan.

I understand that a writer/director/whoever explained that Tyrese's group left the prison....
I'm sorry, but you simply can't leave that out of the damn episode! Since when do you rely on a post-show explanation to fill plot holes? :fp:

I really hope Rick snaps out of it soon! Not only does the group need him, but I really think the show needs him. While it supports character development of the other cast members, I think it's really slowing things down.

I'm interested to see how Merle's presence pans out. I wonder if he's at the point where he realizes he has NOTHING left, including his own brother, so he'll be a little less of a dick. It'll be interesting to see how Glenn and Maggie react to him. I do think hell be important for any counter assault on Woodbury...

people keep ragging on this gun fight. walkers are easy to hit as they are slow moving targets who don't try to avoid the shot. humans do.

Tyrese's group not being around in this episode should not have to be explained. it's part of the mystery of the show. they won't be gone for long. Tyrese is a huge part of the comic, apparently. a couple of people not being in one episode really isn't something we should be freaking out about. this has happened SEVERAL times in the series.

I think this assault caused Rick to snap out of it. He now realizes the group is under siege and needs him again.

the governor's assault was to show rick and his group how powerful they are, and how vulnerable rick's group is. remember, the governor has gone off the deep end a little himself since michonne killed penny and woodbury has crumbled out of it's utopia.

the governor doesn't care about innocent lives. he's a socio/psychopath.

Soooo...
The fact that none of the gun battle made sense...not a problems with you?
Carol hiding behind Axel's body as he got shot 20+ times by a high powered rifle...? Those rounds would have gone through both of them. Wearing a jacket, sure...but without....dumb. Rick, Hershel not getting shot? :fp: Maggie with an automatic rifle and Carl with a 9mm both shooting at an unprotected guy in a tower....and missing 30+ shots? The Governors crew missing Rick, Hershel laying in the grass not moving. Michonne, Maggie, Carol, Carl,....whoever else becoming bullet dodgers? They laid down 200+ and nabbed Axel? :fp:

Haha the stupid stuff that keeps me entertained!! Love the kitty!!

As for the gun fight, I thought it was a bit much myself. no way would all those rounds go into Axel without hitting Carol. she would have been shredded.
Also, with all those bullets flying from the Gov, the dude shooting at Rick and the guy in the tower, they would have all been toast. In TD they explained it was the Governor giving his warning about their fire power and how they could take the prison if they wanted to, not so much about killing them all. So in that regard it makes sense, there was a lot of firing but just the one kill. Still have the issue with Carol tho....that was just too much.

This episode was pretty solid imho.
Outside of Tyrese's group not being explained i have no complaints

not all shows can be the wire. I started liking more tv when i came to that conclusion :corn:

I think people are missing the bigger picture here. this may have been the work of a psycho just playing mind games. he may have INTENDED to only kill Axel and leave the rest. Remember, they had no problem killing that group of military guys in a matter of seconds with a well orchestrated ambush.

why bring in all those walkers? because he's playing games with them. he's torturing them. he's enjoying it. did you see the look of utter pleasure on his face when the van drove through? the guy is NUTS.

That's the only way to logically explain the horrible gun fight. But, the only reason to do that is to draw out the battle over multiple episodes. I mean, as nuts and sadistic as some one is, they would still take out any threat when they had a chance, instead of just wasting thousands of rounds of ammo to play games.

I disagree. I think the governor is having too much fun with his playthings, and doesn't want the game over yet.

don't know how long a cat and mouse storyline can go on with the two groups before it gets pretty stale, but rick should lure the governor and his men into the prison and lead them down a corridor/wing in which they know is full of walkers that they never cleared out and just lock them in.

rick's group has the advantage inside the prison. they know the lay out, they have the keys to all of the cells and cell blocks, and all the food.

rival. · February 2013

and the governor should get special treatment. he should be locked in and left for dead in the walk in refrigerator that the prisoners were using as a toilet :twisted:

They also showed a clip of next week with Merle talking to Hershel, Merle basically said the same thing, how the Governor when he comes is going to kill them slow and in order, saving Rick for last so he can watch his whole family die
