Not like that lol. That's like fleeing the scene of a of a bank robbery, running smack dab into an officer. The officer orders you to drop your weapon multiple times and yet you keep approaching slowly with the gun still pointed in the officers direction.

I've never been that scared stupid.

You think Herschel is a liar?

YES! this is what i've been complaining about.

the guys finger is right on the trigger guard!

while i get they are trying to make carl all cold and dark, that is a lazy way to write that scene. the kid should have raised his arms and dropped the gun. then carl should have shot him in cold blood. thats how you convey that message in that scene.

I think the writing is a mess.

They did leave it a bit ambiguous. I think that it was written this way intentionally so that we would hear "two sides to the same story".

On one hand, it looks like the kid could have pulled the trigger on Carl at any second, and on the other he looked scared shitless, not calculating like a killer.

If they made it clearer in either direction the story would have to follow that direction. But they want it to walk that fine line. Probably for the entire next season.

SO disappointed...

I really hope they do not continue the prison much into season 4.

I won't even give Season 4 a chance to reclaim some decent writing, the finale was THAT bad.

But the rest of the season was great. Did we really need the Governor to die in the finale? I am glad he is still alive. One of the more interesting characters on the show.

I'd take Merle over him anyday tho

I watched all the episodes but haven't read any of the comics. I'm still not understanding why everyone seems to hate the season finale?

Andrea died..I liked that..I didn't really see her reintegrating back into the group anyways. Her death wasn't anything spectacular but that's okay.

Merle died. I'm surprisingly disappointed by this. I didn't really like him in the prison as a fan of the show, but now that he's gone I guess I felt more of an attachment to him as a character than I thought.

Governor comes out a complete psycho and he's basically on his own now and the prison is safe. Rick goes from ruthless tyrant at the start of the season to free love hippie commune Rick at the end..Carl is annoying and killed someone..Didn't bother me.

Michone feels out of place..I'd rather they kill her off.

Granted, there's no big cliffhanger to the next season but I don't mind it really. I thought the finale was fine. Not great but not bad either.

That ain't happening, that's one of Kirkman's top pet characters

After waiting for the right time to watch the last two episodes, that was just a disappointing piece of crap.

CDamm nails it, they should have shot that scene in a different manner, with the guy dropping the gun nearly immediately, pausing on Carl's face, and then having him shoot. The way it was presented, yes we get the implication that Carl did it on purpose but it was not shot well enough to indicate that he is turning into a younger version of Shane.

The scenes with Andrea attempting her escape made us shout at the TV about a half dozen times. She kept pausing and talking, while still cognisant that Milton would be turning into a walker. He even had to REMIND her to hurry up. A pitiful way to part with this pitiful version of the character. Nothing like the strong and sane female lead that was the rock of the prison battle in the original story.

When you're having to shout WTF at the screen more than once or twice an episode, the show is not written well. Neither my gf nor I have ever had a WTF moment in Mad Men, Breaking Bad, or Game of Thrones. Well, with GoT there was the beheading episode, but that was more of a shock rather than an angry "WTF are you doing, you idiot?"

I reread The Calm Before and Made to Suffer for yet another time a few weeks back. I keep wanting to reread this story just as much as Watchmen. I rewatch episodes of Breaking Bad and GoT based on their entertainment value alone. Yet when I tried to pull out my Walking Dead Season 2 BR set, I looked at it and sighed, imagining how many hours I would have to suffer through to make it to the finale. While Season 3 was a great improvement, it has no payoff in the end. It just leaves me with a sense of frustration and a realization that this show will never be as rewatchable or entertaining as some of its top drama competitors.

It was definitely shot very, very poorly. In fact, it's almost kind of confusing the way Herschel and Rick throw Carl under the bus for what he did. I don't really draw the parallels between him and Shane, either, because Shane had many reasons to hate Rick, and challenge his decision-making, regardless.

Again, if the show was wanting us to make all these connections...it failed miserably.

 

[brentsg]

Andrea definitely has a promising future as a victim in B- horror flicks.

 

[Comrade Porn King Mikhail]

Andrea definitely has a promising future as a victim in B- horror flicks.

Past too, if you count The Mist. And even that is far more rewatchable than TWD.

All you faggots are the reason why Carl needs to be shot dead early into the next season.

The mistake all you Carl lovers are making is thinking that Carl is your son. No. Your son is not Carl. Carl needs to die.

are you saying my son doesn't deserve to die?

burn them all !

Your son didn't shoot no one in the face with a silenced handgun. He's cool in my book.

Carl grows a set of balls and starts blasting mother fuckers at point blank range, and you want him killed? He's the O.G. that T-Dog and Tyrese wish they could be. Kid shot his own mom in the fucking face when characters like Andrea struggle to kill a one-eyed sleeping man. That cast wishes they were half the man Carl is. I wouldn't be surprised if he started calling the shots in the group, now that Herschel and Rick's periods have synced up and they're too busy lactating over poor decision-making.

Did you cry when Shane died?

 

[SonGohan]

Did you cry when Shane died?

I never cry when people are killed.

 

[Poonman]

That kid didn't have much of a role in this show but I feel like we'll see more of him down the road on account of his looks.

Has a bit of a young elvis thing going on.

Badass right here.

Uh, I don't see the resemblance, other than they both have dark hair.

 

[evil wasabi]

he probably won a role on the show by competing in the online games.

[F4U57]

Bah...

Spoiler:

The reason they included the cold-hearted murderous Carl scene was a nod to book three or four when Carl kills one of the younger twins who he himself is a murderer.

Carl is going to get owned anyway, deal with it.

I'm over that stroppy little shit anyway.

They way he got all 'huffy-puffy' when he asked Rick "What're they doing here" in the finale... Fuck off Carl, you're a nobody.

Black Mamba is going to own this shit!

 

[evil wasabi]

Fuck off Carl, you're a nobody.

If Rick replied with that to Carl on the show during that bus scene, everyone would be praising the Finale right now.
