Sorry to keep posting stuff but this is a Laurie Holden interview. She talks a little about the other ending that was originally filmed, and not being happy with it. It also sounds like the decision to kill her was somewhat last minute. I kind of wonder if this is what got Mazarra fired, or if it was Kirkman, or what.

I agree! I was pretty disappointed with the season finale too. I thought for sure The Governor was going to die in a final showdown with Rick - I assume that's what TPTB were building up to this past season, but I guess not.

I didn't like how Rick's crew brought back the refugees with them back to the prison. How are they going to feed everyone? Now Rick's going to lead more people?

A definite thumbs down for the season finale. After watching this, there was no feeling of "I can't wait to watch next season to see what happens next!!!"

I still like the show but it's no longer in my top tier of TV shows.

Final ratings show that Talking Dead did beat Game of Thrones in the key 18 to 49 demo, not that it matters as much to HBO.

The Walking Dead; 6.4, 18 to 49; 12,419,000 overall viewers

Talking Dead: 2.6, 18 to 49; 5,158,000 overall viewers

Toups, my friend called me yesterday at work and was livid! She thougth the finale sucked monkey nuts. I then went onto a few sites, and many are very unhappy. There was way too much build up only to have The Gov and Co running like little girls. It was disappointing. I'm taking it so well because I'm looking at the bigger picture - ANDREA'S GONE! How could I not be happy :)

I thought the actual final scene was gorgeous, and I have no problem with more people being brought in - if you're going to have a battle, you need cannon fodder, and, aside from maybe Beth/Hershel/Carol, everyone in the prison was too important to the story to kill, or too popular with fans. Feeding everyone - between the food from Woodbury and the farming that Hershel wanted to start but hasn't been able to, that shouldn't be a huge problem.

The episode itself was more problematic, especially the way they handled the Governor and Andrea, but I think they never should have built up a battle when logically it was never going to happen (the Governor had everything and more he needed to win). I felt like the season had about five balls in the air, and the finale had to deal with them, and seemed to let a few fall (for instance, while it's nice to see that Tyreese and Sasha are nice people, I'm not quite sure why they were ever in Woodbury...?).

Reading about the behind the scenes debating over Andrea and her final scenes, which was apparently serious enough to mandate reshoots months later, I am a little more forgiving.

I only watch about 3 new shows so that's not a problem for me ph34r.png

LOL! You missed Allen just standing there pointing the gun instead of shooting. Martinez and the other guy just standing there while Phillip shot all those people was ridiculous, but I could buy that they were in shock. It was them getting into the truck with Phillip that made me explode. WTF?! Who would go in the truck with that crazy-ass man? I would shoot his ass, drive off, and leave him.

I didn't have as big a problem with it as others did, because where else are they going to go? He's crazy, but he never aimed the gun at them, or even considered it. I'm sure they see themselves as being better than the others in Woodbury, and this would have proved them right. Their options are going out on their own, waiting for the prison group to pick them off, or going with him to start over.

Allen seemed to be an idiot the whole time so I wasn't that shocked with his behavior. I think he expected that he'd just hold the Gov at gunpoint and get him to surrender.

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them.
