Glen is badass. Great ep. So cool to see Rick and Michonne together. Can't wait for next week. The Governor is probably going to snap completely now that he knows there's nothing left of Penny.

This mid-season finale stuff is fucking bullshit. I wish I didn't have an addiction to AMC shows. Mad Men...Breaking Bad...this show....

It's okay, karma evens it out.

Anyway, great episode. The Governor keeps upping the creep factor...and who knows what is going to go down. I'm really impressed with this season, which has taken this show from something I watch because I feel obligated to watch it, to something I watch because I'm genuinely excited to watch it. Really good stuff this season.

Glen has come a long way. They changed the story a bit with the Governor raping the hot chick from Chuck...I believe he goes after Michonne in the comics. And Merle is doing a MUCH BETTER JOB this season than Season 1, when he played "bad redneck racist stereotype." The dude has acting chops, and I still struggle to explain Season 1.

SPOILER....sort of:


I'm assuming the "mid season fuck-me-up-the-ass finale" is going to be Rick and co. attacking the Governor's town, and fucking shit up...which will set up the finale where the Governor strikes back.

Who knows what side Andrea will fall on when all is said and done, but she is kind of a ditsy cunt. I still remember the sniper incident. I'm rooting for Glen and the hot chick from Chuck. And of course Rick.

It sucks to be that guy sleeping in the cabin...poor guy can't catch a break. His dog dies, his house gets invaded, and some strangers fuck up his shit. That's a shitty way to go.

It seems like a ton of shows are doing "mid season finales" now. Next Sunday is also the last episode of Once Upon a Time until January. I can only assume other shows I don't watch are doing it too, since the two shows I do watch are.

I think it has been common practice. Usually shows take huge breaks this time of year just due to holidays and stuff.

I think the term mid-season finale is relatlvely new though.

I prefer it to randomly skipping weeks. But I hate how all the shows take their break during the holidays. I partially blame this practice for the increase of suicide around this time of year. Folks are already depressed they have no one to share the holidays with. And now they can't even escape into their favorite shows. TV breaks kill.

Hmm. Ok, apparently it's a myth that the suicide rate increases at this time. I still hate it.

Was great - maybe the best episode of the series so far - other than the first two?

I really think Merle is going to sacrifice himself for Daryl.

I didn't see how that episode was worth calling a finale. Seemed like an average episode to me, and it didn't end with such a huge cliffhanger.

It's not really a finale. It's a "midseason finale"...so really it's just the middle episode of the season.

A midseason finale is also called a finale. I expected a liiiiiiiiitle bit more from it.

I don't think so. Think of it this way:

She runs back to the Prison to see her old group and she finds out that two friends are dead, Hershel has one leg, they have no food, are surrounded by zombies, she was ratted-out by her best friend, and Rick has gone nuts. They have committed to a fight she believes they can't win, and showed no consideration for the people in Woodbury (many innocent, and remember a Woodbury bystander was killed by the group). Essentially, her old group has gone completely to shit.

Meanwhile, Woodbury has plenty of food, weapons, ammo, and an army. As for her obsession with Phil... women are attracted to security, and Andrea has always gone with the most "alpha" male she could find. While nuts, Phil is pretty alpha.


I can't say I agree with her decision making, but I don't find it unbelievable. As we've seen time and time again in this series, people make bad decisions when under severe stress.

She's just in a manipulative/abusive relationship...and "Philip" makes here dingle tingle.

Andrea gets an F- in identifying psychotic sociopathic killers. I feel kind of bad, but I'm okay with whatever bad karma comes her way.
