Kind of funny how we view these people since they are the main characters of our story. When the Gov used "walker bombs" as weapons we saw him as the bad guy. Our heroes lead 2,000 plus walkers to the base in order to overrun it just to create a diversion, yet we see that as creative.

A lot of innocent people were killed because of them, and for what, a junkie kid. The doctor had to put down all her patients and then, I presume, she turned the air hammer on herself judging from her last scene.

Good finale. This is what the show should have been like from the beginning. No, I'm not talking about non-stop zombie action because I do appreciate the fleshing out of these characters. Thing is, I learned more about these characters last night than all the other episodes combined. Travis went from being a softie, making a mistake letting that soldier go, which almost cost Ophelia her life, to stone cold after beating the guy to near death with his bare hands and then having to put down his ex-wife. That's how you use the ZA to move characters and story lines.

The Governor was a crazy megalomaniac. The difference between good and bad isn't about what tools you use but when and why you use them.

It's not what the Governor did that made him bad. It's why he did it.

fwiw-Show Gov was a pussy.

I see it as being completely different because the people that they were trying to thwart had really evil intentions.

Those patients would still have been doomed had they gotten on the helicopter. The sick and weary don't last in the ZA.

The people in cages would have been left for dead had they not unlocked the cages. They at least had a fighting chance after that.

But that was the point-he was a softie up to that point. I don't see how else they could have conveyed that.


I thought that all of the episodes were pretty awesome, as I have expressed throughout the season.

However, if you love the zombie gore and all of that, I can see why you might have been let down. I personally love seeing the human vs human side of things way more than zombie vs human.

I thought that the acting was great, and the pacing and suspense was great too. Looking forward to where they go next.
