"The Walking Dead" Season 3 Starts on Sunday!

I agree.

The prison raid was lame. All that build up....

Then the Gov shot everyone and no one raised up. Afterwards, Martinez and the Black dude just got back in the truck with him. Really man?

Andrea having a conversation with Milton just hanging out while he was about to turn?

Overall, it was a weak season finale.

Finally some sanity! I still watch because my wife and I have a good laugh. The Governor always makes us LOL.

No, i'm not down on the series for the same reasons as you...The finale was the first time in a while that i've been disappointed with the show. There have been times in the past when i wasn't nuts about a particular episode, but this was the first time for me that a finale fell short. They should have went with Merle's death and Zombification as the last image we were left with...

Everybody expected this whole showdown between the prison and Woodbury and it is only that expectation that failed!!  It would have been completely and utterly unbelievable to have Rick and the others win in any kind of real fight against the Governor and his townsfolk....what the heck could they have done against Martinez and his grenade launcher?!  They (and all the fans knew) that Rick's group was going to be so under equipped for this fight that it would have made no sense whatsoever for them to try to have a 1 on 1 fire fight!

Carl and Hershel (especially Hershel) failed on only one point, they never told the kid to stop immediately and place the gun down after the first time!  Any police officer would have shot a suspect that kept slowly moving toward them while still armed......hell even unarmed some police would shoot a suspect moving toward them.

Andrea casually bullsh*tting with Milton was the wrong way to go with that scene...or at least to not have her trying to get the pliers the whole time!  Thinking back on Andrea's character I find it interesting that Dale pushed to save her from suicide to begin (after the death of her sister) with and then she puts a bullet thru her head in the end anyway.  Also I don't think there would be one moment during the group's story that she actually contributed all that much to-to make a difference whether she was there or not!

The two "heavies" getting back in the truck and going on is not unexpected, they have been two of the Governor's main accomplices, killing innocent people from the get go.  They also more than likely didn't have a strong connection to the folks of Woodbury as they were either defending the wall all the time, interrogating prisoners, corralling walkers or otherwise killing and looting outside the walls for the Governor.  Now if they don't show these two discussing the Governor being completely insane and possibly talking about offing him next season then yah, it'll be pretty on believable!

I think they should have a technical advisor somewhere on scene.  Did anyone catch that Andrea used Rick's revolver to shoot herself and when you here the shot, it his folowed by the sound of a spent casing hitting the floor as if fired from a semi-auto pistol?
Also did anyone notice if anyone got shot during the "big confrontation" at the prison?  All those rounds fired and I didn't see anyone get hit.
One more thing from a couple of episodes ago, Rick is in his home town again with Mishone and Carl and he's talking to Morgan and he says to him "we found a prison not far from here" or words to that effect.  He's a sheriff's deputy and he just found out there is a prison nearby the jurisdiction he works in?  I could understand it if he was a few hundred miles away from home.
I agree with Z.H. here about shooting the kid with the shotgun.  It looked to me like he was going to pull a fast one the way he was hanging on to the gun.

Someone's been following the Mocking Dead on twitter? I highly recommend it. Great comments like, "I wonder what Andrea is up to? - said no one, ever"

I believe that is supposed to be the sound of the revolver itself hitting the concrete floor as her arm drops!

Also did anyone notice if anyone got shot during the "big confrontation" at the prison?  All those rounds fired and I didn't see anyone get hit.

As for Rick and his group they were only trying to scare them off, knowing that the civilians the Governor came with would not want to go back for a second round!

There's no telling how far they went to get from the prison to Rick's old stopping grounds!?  Besides obvious barriers on the road they could easily go 100 miles+ in an hour, remember there are no speed limits during a zombie apocalypse!

That sound was the "tink" of an empty casing hitting  the floor, not a 3 pound Colt .357 revolver hitting the concrete.  If that was supposed to be the sound of a gun hitting the floor they need record the sound of a gun hitting the floor a small cylindrical piece of brass.
Also, I don't see them driving a hundred miles just to go back to his home town to recover a gun or two hidden at a bar that he remembers the owner having.

OR............was it not an empty casing hitting the floor, but the spent bullet exiting her head?

I've never been in the situation to hear a Colt hitting concrete from about 2ft off the ground so I'll take your word!!

Pretty sure they went originally to raid the police station that Rick worked at, the bar was an afterthought....also better to go somewhere familiar than to wander aimlessly in search of the weapons!

No joke, straight from the Smith and Wesson forum http://smith-wessonforum.com/lounge/308498-walking-dead-finale.html

6 out of 7 forum members (many of them NRA members as well) agree it was the weapon hitting the floor!!

My wife made the comment about the casing hitting the floor. If you listen carefully it is the revolver hitting the floor. Not a casing. There is a metallic scratch sound more than a "tink" sound.

David LaPell
I could live with the inaccuracy of a shell hitting the floor instead of the thought of a $2000 Python grating along on a cement floor. I heard the sound and it was the gun, not a shell, very different sound.

markush
It did not sound like a casing hitting the floor to me...I heard the gun hitting the floor...and said, I sure am glad they didn't show the Python hitting the floor or I would have been sick!

Shooter2384
I heard a gun hit the floor, not a shell.

looseman
It was the Python hittin the floor.

speedyquad
if you listen close, two items hit the floor. the first one is a empty casing, the second is the python.

Rintimtin
Sounded a little heavy to be a .357 casing, pretty sure it was the gun itself.

I thought it may be the weapon hitting the floor as well. But I do enjoy finding holes in the writing.

Really? ... Never would have deciphered that from your previous posts.
