FINALLY! Woot wooooooot! Awesome, amazing, incredible. My second favorite episode of the series, just behind Beside The Dying Fire and trumped CLEAR. That was some amazing storytelling of events that already almost occurred, yet it felt different and 'real' this time around. This is what I was hoping to see from Gimple, and it's nice that it's only the mid-season finale and we still have so much shit hitting the fan. I am so glad that the prison is absolutely destroyed. I was thinking perhaps they'd salvage it after an attack and they'd still end up being there at the finale but this is just perfect.
Beautiful episode. Great mix of zombie tension and downright gruesome action whilst getting the hell out of that prison. It's about damn time. I'm excited to see where they go with this. THE GOV IS DEAD!
P.S. Mud-zombie is now my favorite zombie. But poor Meghan
A lot of awesomely horrific deaths this episode. That was nuts. I loved it. Interesting how they handled Judith. I'm wondering if they just pulled the punches with her death, or if this is their way of building tension until they find the kids with her and perhaps one of the older children got bit, thus the blood on the baby-seat.
I think this will be her 'death' and they'll find out from the kids, but I think it's just as likely that seeing Judith alive will be our one saving grace that the crew has gotten out 'okay' in the end since that one good thing was saved. They've already lost nearly everything. But that's The Walking Dead. You lose. Every time. Everything. So in the spirit of the comics and the series overall tone, I hope this is her death. Also let's face it, no more babies should be born until the virus is fixed. Unless you just want a psychotic child and you want to create this awesomely insane badass child that just kills everything like that little blond kid.
@Zant: You don't actually think that the Gov was still trying to 'take' the prison, do you? After Rick stated that either both of them lose the prison or they all stay, it was done; the Governor just wanted to kill all of them. The dipshit lemmings hardly had a mind of their own at that point, it wasn't their game from the start. Maybe they thought they'd salvage it, but everyone besides the pig-tailed girl was pretty much blind at that point. That's why we hear Gov say 'Liar' before killing Hershel. It was just about killing them, not even he wanted the prison at that point, otherwise he wouldn't have told the tank to light it up...
But yeah, Lilly is a dumb bitch.
I'm kinda sad we didn't see her die. I thought the same thing while she was daydreaming at that one zombie
in the river!! It's like she was thinking "Let's see if Brian was right...I'LL BET HE WAS WRONG THAT ZOMBIE IS TOTALLY GONNA CROSS THE RI-oh....what was that hun?". Psh. Good riddance, I hope they don't even show her after this and we just move on completely.
To everyone thinking it's ridiculous that Lilly let Meghan play away from her, out of site, half a football field away behind her... Do you just not accept that there's dumbfucks in TWD world? She's a dumb bitch. We all know that. That's that. She fell for a psychotic, sociopathic serial killer; and she just so happens to be a horrible parent. I don't know why that's a stretch. That's why we saw her starring at that zombie crossing the river for so long...she apparently thought that zombies only lived across the river in zombie-town, where all zombies reside. I don't friggin know...but clearly she was just a moronic air head. Done and done. I don't know why that's not believable though...there's millions of parents out there ten fold worse than that... They had to write them off somehow, and/or make the Gov suffer losses of his own. This was a great way to show that and push him over the edge while getting them out of the picture quickly.
