Similarly, if you're going to discuss plot points from the comic book, please use "spoiler tags" - not everyone is up-to-date on them, and some people don't read them at all. Enjoy!

Really nervous for Hershel tonight. Death list : Slightly influenced by the comic   Hershel Gov Sasha Judith Beth

[Moon Knight]

Tonight, we say bye to some old friends. Highy anticipating; yet, rather worried.

Tonight, we say bye to some old friends. Highy anticipating; yet, rather worried. Yea I'm not really excited about tonight because of the possible losses. Gonna be on edge of seat. - - - Updated - - - Fuck you governor. Damnit!!! Damn damn damn

If this is what the mid season finale is like, what the frack have they planned for the season finale? Oh yeah by the way, If you intend on trying to take over a place, DON'T FRACKING BLOW IT UP WITH A TANK!!! and Judith.... yeah I know thats what happens in the comics, but still... to see it happen in the series is messed up. I think this picture sums it up for many people on Twitter BacpG2XCEAAjvsR.jpg

That was pretty badass! We definitely got more resolution than I had suspected. A few cheesy moments, but the cool and the quality outshone those, I thought. - - - Updated - - - and Judith.. Meh. We know Maggie went for Judith and we have no reason to believe she didn't get to her.

Ok, having read the comic...   Everything more or less unfolded the way it did in the comic ...but still...

I knew Hershel was taking T's place. Definitely a number of unexpected twists though. Daryl blowing up the tank was pretty badass. And it was great seeing Lizzie save Tyrese, although I'm almost certain now that she killed the people and Carol took the fall for her. Governor was taking Rick DOWN for a minute there, it got pretty bleak for a second. Also did NOT think his 'daughter' was gonna get taken out, and by a zombie that almost felt like an homage to Lucio Fulcis Zombi.

I called it a couple weeks ago that the Gov was gonna be killed by one of his "new family". So glad the prison is gone!!!!

Also notice the homage to NOTLD with "daughter" Meghan' hair band a la Barbra? Fulci vs. Romero!

I'm calling it now, Michonne has baby Judith

[Moon Knight]

Great episode. Rick's speech to the Governor was masterful. The smile on Hershel's face once Rick delivered those emotional lines was heartbreaking just knowing what was about to happen to him. Goodbye, Hershel; great character and amazing actor.

Absolutely gutted about the loss of Hershel. He made a heck of a difference in this world and was brilliantly played by Scott Wilson. Many good memories from his story starting with his first line, "Was he bit". And once again Loren Cohen's reaction was so damn good. I want more Maggie. I love that girl. Daryl stepped up as a leader. I know he may not want the job but he is more than capable. He was kicking ass, blowing up tanks and his final crossbow moment was money. The tank commander dared give an expression seeking mercy after busting down our house. Good riddance. I know many wish for Daryls demise but he is a great character. Michonne. Straight up hard core ninja. Tied up in a motor home and she's still spouting death threats. Her revenge kill appeared rather telegraphed but I sure enjoyed seeing her katana through the Gov. Im curious why she didnt finish him. Was it to let him face the walkers or was she aware it was a fatal blow and her message was sent? I cant recall where she went when she split from Rick and Carl. My only disappointment was when the Gov's alleged girlfriend shot him(And she better have actually done it, I dont want the Gov being rehabbed for another fight). Back to my disappointment, I wanted the Gov screaming and begging for mercy as the walkers devoured him. He got off way too easy. I was thinking Glen or Maggie was gonna die when they split up. Glad theyre still with us. Maggie especially The kids getting guns and saving Tyrese was epicness redefined. The first kill, great save on their part. But the SECOND!!!!! I literally said, "holy shit" when they capped that bitch in the head. There is so much material to absorb so I'm just checking out for the night with one final thought. Season 4 has been absolutely great. Thank you's to all the writers and actors that have delivered such great story. And to the posters here that keep the story going and the entertaining back and forth, I thank you.

I too caught the Fulci nod. Didn't think about the headband till now that it was mentioned. Super great episode. I also was a little perplexed at Michonne's mercy. Oh well. There's no way Judith died, come on guys. But yeah, the Governor. What made him think they had a better chance? Tanks are hardcore but they're not indestructible bro. Especially when Daryl is on your side. Who said they wished him gone? It was slightly silly how easy the Gov's little army was brainwashed into fighting and all but hey it is a show and he is the Gov. It also occurred to me they may try to do a Gov rehab and return thing which would suck. But she was trying to talk him out of going and fighting to begin with, then he did, her daughter and many others died and everything was totally fubar so I doubt she'd be saving him and trying to help him rehab anytime soon.
