 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
Glenn has been kind of useless for a while now. I won't be sad if he goes. But I doubt he's going to die.
Another great episode. The water is getting too much attention to not be a major factor in something going on. It's practically a supporting character.

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
Don't know if it means much, but the 4th episode of Season 3 featured the deaths of T-Dog and Lori. I hope this year's 4th episode has the same impact!

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
Was the woman Carl almost shot the same woman that Rick met at the beginning of the season? I've been waiting for her to come back and kill somebody important. Otherwise what was the point of all that?

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
OK, I get that I guess. Follow up question, what is with this new attitude that you don't have to kill walkers? I think Dale would disagree. The only way to stop the zombie plague is to kill every zombie. This is why Hershel should not be making decisions or have any influence on the group.

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
I think it's more of a "Hershel trying to teach Carl" thing. You can't have serial killer Carl coming back.

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
Carl was the first one to pop in my head when we saw those burned bodies last week. I don't think he has the upper body strength though.
I think he's going to be the lead of the show by 2015 and be in full crazy mode after Rick dies.

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
Kicking out Carol seemed a bit extreme. They literally just had a zombie outbreak due to the sickness. It was a rash decision, yes, but it had to be done.

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
I like this season so far (hated the third), but, do they ever plan on changing that ugly as hell prison setting?
Also really glad they got rid of Carol. Glenn and others are still left but with Lori, Carol and Lauren Holly gone, it seems like the show is moving into the right direction.

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
Wonderful, wonderful episode tonight. Perhaps my favorite since the pilot. So nice to escape the prison (pun intended) and its fairly tired dynamics. Complicating the Governor is an inspired choice.

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
Not that I don't like the main group, but having a break from them was nice for a bit. But I miss my guy Rick!

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
Fantastic Governor double-header. I was a big fan of The Governor last season, but I didn't realize how much we missed in not getting a proper look at the character. It was a gamble to devote two entire episodes to the "villain", especially with next-to-no scenes of Rick's crew, but it paid off.

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
Certainly an intense episode. A few moments may be too contrived, though, most notably the girl unearthing a zombie in the sand, and the mother coming to the prison with her body at a key dramatic moment. The mechanical, nihilistic quality of their fates in relation to the Governor's relapse into evil almost undermines how much I love the two previous episodes. What a brutal end for Hershel.  Is the Governor definitely dead? They didn't show the cherry pie.

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
So did the baby die since there was blood in the carriage and that the baby did die in the comic books?

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
My only issue is that, again, two key moments in the finale are plagued by ambiguity. The Governor is a character that deserves a definitive end, not the atypical "cutaway" just as the gun fires, so I feel like he could be back. And of course the baby.
But otherwise a strong episode.

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
Just read an article that would suggest it's curtains for The Governor. It does make sense, though I wish it had been more definitive.

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
The show does seem to have much more interesting mid-season finales than their season finales.

But otherwise a strong episode. Well I think they did give him the rightful ending since the Governor pretty much dies the same way he did in the comic book with a few alterations. Yes, in both versions it was during a raid where the baby died also. Both times people in his side turned against the governor. The comic book version it was a bunch of his followers when they saw him shoot Lori and her baby.

 Re: The Walking Dead (Season 4)
That would have been a devastating way to off Lori and the baby. Wish they had stuck with it, even if it meant another season of Sarah Wayne Callies.

Could've used more major deaths.
But thank god, we're finally rid of the fucking prison setting.

They should've saved their new trailer for a Super Bowl spot. Can you imagine the ratings it would get?
