Andrea is either dying or killing the gov.


She is definitely on team prison IMO now. I think Hershel's talk to her along with the Gov keeping his pimp hand strong were the final straws. She sees him for what he is now. Also the little nod she and Hershel gave each other as they were leaving leads me to believe there might be a plan

I was hoping that Darryl would have just put an arrow into Martinez' head.


Seriously, plus Rick had the drop on the Governor and could have ended all this bullshite.

IMO, Andrea has been the biggest misfire as a character for the show. I'm not sure how much is acting and how much is writing/direction. I think she got stuck being a plot device a bit, especially after Lori bit it. She's made such stupid decisions.

I wouldn't mind seeing her getting a little redemption and go out in a blaze of glory. As long as she does go out. I really don't see a compelling part for her to play after the prison/Woodbury storyline is (hopefully) resolved.

I expect the final episode to have resolution with this story arc, a few characters die off, and the group is on the move again.


I see another group coming together, mix between the Gov's peeps and the prison peeps, I saw a lot of connection and mutual understanding while the leaders were talking.

she's just lived the longest. Dale and Lori were both pretty terrible characters/actors. It really is a shame that they killed of Shane so soon. He was such a great character.

drives me insane that they haven't cleared out the prison yard yet.


me too, but my son pointed out that all the biters made it difficult for the others to sneak closer than sniper range. Its like a living moat.

you also have to consider that the last time they took a stroll outside, one of them got their brains blown out.

Group whore

Or when encountering other groups they can trade her sexual favors for supplies.

if i'm Rick, I keep her along just for her ridiculous ability to not be careful. She's always looking to prove that she's capable. Use that to your advantage and put her in harm's way prior to putting yourself or someone else.

Rick's canary in the mineshaft.

eta: Either way, she's getting the shaft.

This was so incredibly predictable.

And it forced an awkward scene with Norman Reedus trying to play off a guy that can't act his way out of a paper bag.

The Gov's right hand man seemed pretty ticked when he was informed of the Ambush. I think he defects to Rick's group at some point.


If the writers wanted to add a bit of realism in the story, they'd have Rick setting up shop around the prison for all out guerrilla warfare. The prison gang is made up of experienced fighters and are more successful in the elements and when attacking (see Woodbury battles). The Woodbury gang is use to fixed targets and organized warfare.

How to create equalization when out numbered? Guerrilla warfare!

I know only 1 group should have a smart guy and 1 group can only have a tough guy. Afterall those people would be hard to come by in a ZA.

In any group dynamic those to arch types inevitably rise to prominence. Their talents are a requirement of survival. So naturally any group will have their hierarchy.

That's easier said than done, especially when there are hundreds of zombies roaming inside the forest.

Finally got to see the last 5-6 minutes. I think the last two episodes are going to be epic. I'm so ready for someone to kill that smirky mother fricker of a governor.

Not sure if this was discussed or not, but how the hell did Herschel drive?
