    And Tyreese knows the group they need to deal with is Rick right? But Rick doesn't know Tyreese is with the Gov does he?

    Yep to both.

    So they definitively should of looked into doing something about that back entrance then...

    They talked about it for a few minutes and said that the amount of walkers in there would probably be too hard to deal with.

    Anyone curious why Rick's group has done nothing about the huge entrance through the back way that Tyreese and his people came through. Not like they could do too much about it but from what I remember they didn't even look into it.


    I thought Glenn took the truck and fixed it. I remember him leaving and then rushing back once the governor smashed the gate and let the zombies loose.
  • ScudzAlmighty
    Glenn went to check it out, but after the Governor's attack they never talked about it again. I guess why worry about a big hole in your house when the bad guy can just smash through the front door?

    Yeh pretty good episode.

    I find I'm scolding myself for even sitting down to watch this though hah.

    I hope they leave the prison too.

    I still don't get some of the writing direction in this series. I bet the each of the characters would totally buy the extended warranty from their local Big Box retailer since the sales person just looked so darn trustful and for an extra $200 bucks it's a steal! Glenn can't do a proper proposal since the zombie apocalypse is just so darn hard on your love life. Yet Michonne will follow the person she least trusts into the deepest part of the prison, alone and with no one knowing they are down there, because what could seriously go wrong?

    That being said, it was a good episode. Hopefully next week's is not 58 minutes of prepping and 2 minutes of action before a season ending cliffhanger as the attack is just ready to happen. I mean we all know there is a cliffhanger coming but I just want it to be after whatever happens at the prison.

    I liked the episode, but I really dislike how they played out this season. Now it feels like they are rushing to conclude the prison timeline. And to top it off, they may not even finish the prison (though I hope they do). The prison was such a great time in the comics, but they've made it such a bore in the show.

    I hope they are hearing the critiques that I've been hearing, and take a different approach next season. Otherwise, I suspect their ratings will start declining, and it will be too late to recover.

    Anyone else notice the random clothing change they do in this show? Like Glenn's new plaid shirt and Rick's new jacket. Must be from stores near by considering the zombie's clothing are a little be over done on the wear and tear side. Which makes you think that they would change up their apparel a bit more then once a season.

    No but I noticed Meryl's random tire rim change. In every shot he had the big flashy rims, except when it's the side drivers side shot showing him driving through that barn area he as the stock rims on the car. At first I thought maybe the car just had the big rims on the passenger side, but it doesn't as in the scene where he bails from the car you can clearly see the big rims on the drivers side.

    Actually I always thought changing clothes is a way to show seasons changing. Also makes sense why they do it so rarely... because new clothes are a luxury.

    Haha, I noticed that too. He went from bling to spoked hubcaps. I was thinking I had just remembered them wrong (when they were bling).

    I don't think it's that big of a luxury. Carl and Michonne strolled into a town for a photo and some ugly toy, yet they can't make one trip to a decent clothing store and stalk up for everyone? I just find it out of sorts that suddenly two members of the group have new gear, and they never hinted at going anywhere that would allow them access to it which makes you think they had it from a previous trip... and that makes you think why the fuck have they not wore it sooner!

    Sure you could argue that malls or whatnot would be filled with walkers, but hitting up a strip mall or a lesser known stand alone clothing store would be the better bet. AND MAYBE THEY CAN GET FOOD?! because from what I hear they have been running out of food for ever now - any you know... baby supplies : /

    haha just keep smiling only one more episode left :P then maybe they can get back to the whole man vs. environment bit they seem to have lost along the way.

    Well, in the comics, they actually had enough time, in the prison, to grow a garden. That's where Hershel's knowledge was key for their survival. In the show, they just talk about a garden, then start fucking around with the governor, and never grow shit.

    Maybe that's where they grabbed some new supplies. They weren't in a mad panic to leave the place due to any immediate danger, and happened to get other supplies as well (like the guns, and even that guy's backpack along the way).

    I don't think you'd find too many strip malls in their scenario that would be well stocked on anything useful. There would probably be a great deal of looting in the initial days of the outbreak, followed by more than a year of people fending for themselves. They're not the only ones looking for clothes and food.

    Good thing Merle killed all of those extras! Seems like I had never seen 100% of those people he killed before. You think he would have maybe shot more than once in the direction of the governor instead of giving up after 1 bullet.

    I could be remembering incorrectly though, he did seem to summersault out of those giant metal barn doors at some point.

    If they were waiting to ambush Rick's group wouldn't they have seen a car driving towards their current position followed by 15-20 zombies? Oh that's right, they were going to meet Rick at 12:00PM not 11:55AM.

    This show boggles my mind.

    I'm pretty sure he had to reload after his shot at the governor. Then he was attacked by a zombie as he was doing so. Obviously, an extremely convenient attack, but still, I think that's why he didn't take a second shot.

    It did seem to me, like the governor has a fairly large group, when they attack the prison. Larger than I thought they had when counting, especially after losing more after Merle's attack.

    So that's why Meryl changed his rims! The gov's group was on the lookout for a black car on blingy 22's not spoke 13's. Meryl is a brilliant tactician.

    Definitely one of the better episodes, although I was expecting Merle to put up more of a fight til the bitter end. Instead the Governor, who up until this point has done little in terms of physical prowess in fighting, completely destroys him. Meanwhile Merle has pretty much kicked everyone's ass up until this point. I get that he was drunk, felt like he was beyond redemption and throwing himself to the wolves, but if he was so bent on helping his brother, I was hoping for a bigger throwdown.

    Comparative nitpick aside, this is definitely one of the best episodes of the season, and the preview for the finale looks awesome, the grenade launcher taking out the guard tower makes me hope for the next level up from the fall of the farmhouse.

    I noticed Meryle shot that kid from the group that ended up at the prison few episodes back, wonder how that boy's dad going to take that mentally, if him/both aren't already dead.

    Really? I didn't realize that was him at all :(

    Imagine how happy they must have been after weeks of sleepless brainstorming sessions of how to resolve that conflict between pop and Tyreese until some guy had this great idea: "let's have someone shoot them!". Problem solved! I'm pretty sure the team went out and celebrated after that.

    If that's the case, then they broke another storyline from the comic, which I felt was kind of key. Then again, since Tyrese hasn't been with the group, I guess it won't matter.

    And I didn't care for the 'dynamic' that Meryl brought to the group. I actually dreaded them bringing him back, after the first season (even though we knew it was coming). His personality isn't the type to blend with groups, so it never made sense to me that he was hooked up with the original group in the first place.

    Tyrese and Morgan are both huge pivotal characters in the graphic novel, but the show makes me wonder why they bother trotting them out in rare scenes as anyone we should care for, it'll be nice to see them return to the main cast but who knows if that will ever happen.

    That was my point, there is no group dynamic? Every character is bland and passive and follow Rick, the most boring leader ever. Theres nothing interesting about this group.

    I think thats why outside characters seem so much more interesting on this show, I want to know more about people they stumble across only because those people might have something interesting going on.
