Re-watching, I hope that Tara survived. She was the only one with any moral compass in that group.

Yeah, Tyreese ran after those four children. I wonder if they hid Judith away because they were dragging her in the carrier. It would explain why they were running in the opposite direction towards where they hid her.

Rick's final line, "don't look back, Carl, keep walking" was a hard ending.

Tis was a great episode and I love that creepy girl is able to walk the walk. She is like Carl 2.0. Sad about Herschel but I think his homespun advice has run its course. There is only so much wisdom that one show needs and now it is time for everyone to proceed without someone who is perpetually correct. Clearly they had a standing exit plan with the bus and whatnot, so I imagine the plan is everyone who can rendezvous at wherever will, but Tyrese and the kids went the wrong way it seems, Maggie I am not even sure where she ran off to looking for her sister, Rick and Carl are on their own, so I am expecting in Feb everyone will look to Daryl to take over. And where did Michonne go after saving Rick?

My thoughts after the re-watch:

Where is Michonne? I expected her to pop up behind Rick when he was reunited with Carl.

Tyreese went after the two girls who I am sure were going to find the other two children.

If Judith is alive, she is either with Tyreese and the children or Michonne.

Phillip thinking that Lily was coming to help him, only for her to shoot him dead was classic. I noticed that one of the walkers stepped on a king from a chess set. The writers' way of saying the wannabe king is dead.

Alicia was wrong, it was not too late. She could have taken Tara and run away. I would like it if Tara is alive and hooks up with one of our survivors. I am think that Lily is dead. Either the walkers killed her or she killed herself.

Two months! I will miss the show desperately until it comes back.

It was okay. The first half was slow and took too long to get back to the prison. We didn't need two speeches from the Governor or the conversation with Rick that just went in circles. Man was that character badly written. Peace!

I'm pretty sure the entire viewing audience called Herschel's death after his superhero episode a few weeks ago but it was still sad to see him go. Poor Maggie (and Beth, I guess).

Rick is an idiot. I don't know why anyone lets him decide things. The Governor is insane, there was no talking to him, he honestly should have known better.

I must say I'm excited about not knowing where the show is going. That's thrilling, to have everyone on the run again. We haven't had that in quite a while and I think it'll help re-energize the show.

Rick is just...insufferable to me. I truly can't stand him and he's supposed to be the hero. And how do you jump out and attack Phillip and STILL get your ass beat.

The Governor as a super Villain had completely run his course and that group were a bunch of dumbasses. Phillip riles them up to take over the prison, and then they basically destroy it and attract walkers? Stupid.

Loved when the girls took out the lesbian. I want Carol back yesterday.

I wanted more from the Daryl and Rick scene.

Ant, that was pretty foolish to destroy the very place they seek shelter. Phillip was a mad man and it showed to the very end!

I think it was pretty sloppy to not show where Michonne might be, especially since she was right behind Rick. Give us a scene of her chopping off heads to clear the path for Rick to find Carl, but her mystery absence was so novice. If she doesn't have the baby, the chick nobody cares about does - Lilly! I so hope its Michonne!

Ann, I don't agree about Lilly, and that is because Michonne had already taken care of Phillip. He was a dead man - a hole in his chest, breath labored and zombies a few feet away, so we didn't need her to shoot him. Justice would have been for him to be eaten alive by zombies! I'm confident Lilly will be back, and we are supposed to embrace her :(

I wanted the walkers to eat Phillip, but I have no problems with Lily killing him him. Kirkman said that he did not want Phillip's death to be satisfying by having on the group get their vengeance and he succeeded there with you and lots of others. smile.png I don't mind if Lily survives, but I don't see how she could have.

Rick is not an idiot. He went to talk to Phillip to stall, to buy them time for Daryl and the others to set up their defense and save as many people at the prison as they could. Why do you think he nodded at Daryl and told Carl to shoot. Rick knew there little to no chance of saving Hershel or Michonne although he offered himself in exchange, but he had to try. I am sure that he had a small bit of hope that he could reason with Phillip or convince his people to stop the attack, but he was hoping for a miracle if only to save his people's lives. I mean, Phillip was never going to just let them walk away from the prison.

Then there was no need for Michonne to put a hole in his chest because he was totally done for. If they wanted it to be Lilly, let Phillip run and think he's found a safe haven and then Lilly plugs him. Perhaps the purpose of Michonne was for her to save Rick, and for that, I'm truly satisfied, but it was not put together very well once you involve Lilly.

Overall, it was a great mid season finale, and Daryl was great as usual. With the group or alone, this man gets things done. He is such a smart fighter. The zombie as a shield was quite dumb because you can tell it wasn't real, and it should have been too heavy for Daryl to do what he needed. I won't blame that on Daryl, however. I love watching him in action!

Now thats a finale! This episode was EVERYTHING. Probably one of my favorite if not my favorite of the series.

OMG, Hershell's death has got to be the hardest one to take so far this series. Not bc I had any great love for him and didn't expect it, but the manner in which it was done was so gruesome and then we had to see the Gov make numerous slashes to his throat.

Damn them kids! That girl looked like she enjoyed it.

Man I was hoping Rick would get killed! Damn Michonne for showing up when she did.

I completely forgot there was a baby. I felt bad for the family when they saw the empty carrier with that child most likely eaten

I thought Michonne would have been the one to kill Gov, but then it looked like the walkers would get him. How fitting was it that it was his latest squeeze

    • I guess it's because the stories on "Hotel" tended to be very...melodramatic, lol?  I mean, it seems like every episode had long-lost lovers reuniting or people finding out someone they knew and/or loved was dying.  And then there was the time Anne Baxter was strung out on dope, lol. Brandon Stoddard must've envied what the other Brandon (Tartikoff) was doing at NBC.
    • Given some of the things that have been said I am going to quote the preface to an analysis I researched & posted about the desired demos when JFP was EP of AW. And, that is more than enough about that, from me.  
    • The thing that I am stuck on is that the in studio scenes in Egypt started airing in mid-October. It seems very strange that they would have planned to have a couple of weeks of studio scenes airing before they started showing location footage. Normally even though some scenes in a remote-infused storyline are in studio, they would start airing a mixture of studio and location footage at the same time. I suspect they had put Arizona in their back pocket well before the Achille Lauro (hence Hawk arriving in September) and possibly moved up the Egypt in-studio action so that the remote Arizona piece unfolded during November. The Achille Lauro may have been the final straw but I would bet it was not the first time they considered the risk. I have found one somewhat contemporaneous reference published on October 19th but pinned to an October 7th* "diary entry" mentioning that the location shoot in Egypt had been changed to Arizona. "International terrorism has its effect on daytime drama, too. Another World producers had scheduled an elaborate and expensive location shoot in Egypt this fall, But with the serious military attacks and hijackings going on, they decided to play it safe. They are going to Arizona instead. The cast members involved were disappointed but understood the decision." *Undated, but specified as the Monday before Melody Thomas's wedding to Ed Scott. But of course it's possible that the first draft referred to Egypt and was revised after October 7th to mention the cancellation before it went to press. But even making the decision the week of October 7th seems tight to get the Egypt scenes to air on the 17th/18th. I would love to find something from a daily news cycle that would be clearer about the dates.
    • So, Maxim, at this moment in time Evan is under the (mistaken) impression that, for no good reason, Rachel murdered his mother, in cold blood, and his ulterior motive for coming to Bay City is to get vengeance for this wrong that was done to his family & him.  Now, Rachel never murdered anyone. Janice had the knife on her & she pulled the knife on Rachel in the fight they were having. The reason they were fighting was because Janice had been poisoning Mac. So, this sets out the difference between the Frame family version of events & reality as the rest of us know it to be. Also no one in Bay City knows Evan is Janice's son. He goes by Evan Bates, not Frame.

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
