:lol:

Finale was ok, not particularly great, the previous two episodes were better. I also don't give a shit about Fr. T-Dog, he's a rubbish character, his little breakdown cry tantrum thing was awful. And Sasha too. Also the three simultaneous situations where a main character was about to kill a secondary character only to change their mind after a very prolonged and boring pause was a bit boring too.

It's also hilarious how Morgan has somehow transformed into some sort of monk ninja master, purely because, um, well we haven't seen him in ages so it must be long enough for him to be a ninja master stick king thing.
 
I feel let down tbh, it was an ok finale but nothing more, there was no omg moment.

It built situations up a few times but never delivered anything. Also I agree about Morgan I'm glad he's back but how the hell did he become a master ninja when he was literally mentally ill in previous episodes. Are they going to bother explaining how he went from complete insanity to a mentally sound mind.
 
It was okay, it kinda felt like it should've been the episode before the season finale though I was just waiting for something to happen that would have me anticipating the next season and nothing really happened.
 
I think in terms of the writing it almost slipped to the level of some of the poor episodes at the start of the season. I didn't buy most of the events or character arcs. How many more times is the priest going to bounce between I deserve to die ... I want to live ... I deserve to die ... I want to live! And isn't he essentially the male Sasha? Then, it was just a little too convenient the priest leaving the gate open and then several walkers getting in, wandering around but Rick somehow dispatching them silently without anyone else ever noticing them. Nicholas trying to kill Glenn in cold blood and then blubbing that he'd only done what he had because he was scared (and being spared as a result) made no sense. Carol having her little chat with Pete was too contrived. Deanna, having already lost her son, and then watching her husband die in front of her in the most horrific way rather coldly and calmly deciding that Rick was right and telling him to shoot Pete (when, surely, her instinct would have been to stamp his head into the ground Drive style or shoot him herself in a fit of horrified rage ... which would have made more sense in dramatic terms as the clearest indication that she realised Rick was right and that they needed to 'learn'.) And all leading up to the Morgan moment at the end. The TWD season finale is meant to end on an OMG moment leaving you desperate for the next season ... this just ended with a Homer Simpson "d'oh" moment!
 
Carver is ahead of Karl now in the needs to die list. He's even more annoying than he was in Oz now and that's saying something. The only reason I haven't been that bothered until now is I expected him to be dead within a few episodes.
 
I think what happened with this episode was that in a production meeting an exec said "you know what would make a great season finale twist ... if we make it look like several characters are going to get killed, but at the last minute we don't kill any of them ... and that's the big surprise!" Meanwhile we're all desperate for several of the characters to get wiped out.
 
As others have pointed out the finale lacked a truly shocking moment. Nothing particular about that episode made me excited to watch the next season. A nothing character died at the end, Morgan showed up - can't see the appeal myself. Will keep on watching though, hopefully there will be an end game to the show at some point that will it really interesting, like with the CDC business in S1 or whenever it was.

Also, I'd like either Glenn or Daryl to die at some point. That would make things interesting. Preferably Glenn. And Sasha, of course. Worst character by a mile.
 
Some of the little hints and (hate the term) easter eggs in the episodes leading up to the finale, and the arrival of the wolves, was actually very well done I thought. Nothing that would jump out at you, or changes the story in any way, but just subtle little tips of the cap.
 
Well, they had an after credits scene where Michonne took back her sword. lol.

TBH, I wouldnt mind an episode flashback on Morgan to show what happened to him (his kid dying, to going insane, to then become a master ninja. Or maybe he was always a ninja but didnt show, maybe his job before the zombpocalypse can explain it all away).

Yep.

Comes to something when you want all the major characters, bar two maybe three, to die.
 
Heard we gonna have L.A. version of this in the summer.No thread about it tho.

Well if you ain't a black male or an annoying kid (Carl being the exception) in this show the chances are that you will be around for a couple of seasons.
 
There was just nothing new in this episode (apart from daft Jackie Chan Morgan). That was my biggest problem with it. For weeks everyone has been saying "the season will end with Rick being proven right" and it's a bad sign when everyone has already guessed your big reveal. I would have had more respect for them (the writers) if they'd ended up sending Rick out on his own after going full retard. Hell, after all the questions in the media about Daryl's sexuality, I'd have had more respect for them if we'd had a Brokeback moment between Daryl and Aaron in the car! But just to serve up the same old same old, having built up the story so well in the previous few episodes. It was a big anticlimax.

Rick, michonne, daryl and carol are all I'm bothered about now, I couldn't give a toss about the rest tbh.

It's becoming harder to care about Daryl, I just hope they stop him being such a fanny. I'm liking Carol at the moment, but I think they are in danger of overdoing the whole rambo/chessmaster thing.

Also, they should have killed Glenn. How the hell was he that badly beaten up and shot, yet still magically survived three zombies on top of him? There's suspending belief and all that, but it's hard to do when there's blatant shit story moments like that. Unless he's another member of the 'secretly bitten' club, but I highly doubt that.

Daryl/Norman Reedus has a massive fanbase and I'm not sure they'd be brave enough to kill him off. But they have shafted his character this season by making him pretty dispensible. I can kind of see what they tried to do with him this season - getting the uptight loner to open up and start to become one of the group. Trouble is, that just makes him a dull character.

Not that I want to spoil the show for anyone, but I've also discovered a massive plot flaw. I've just had an operation which means that, while I recover, I move pretty much the same pace as a walker. And honestly, I can't catch anybody. I've tried. My son, who still spends much of his time on his hands and knees, he can easily outcrawl me. So this entire show is based on a lie.
 
I didn't know what to make of it tbh, good in parts but it didn't have the suspense of last seasons finale though. They packed it with opportunistic scenarios for some of the lesser characters to be killed off only to return it with massive letdowns. Sasha moping about laying on a grave pit..Preist going walkies again to say "I left them!, I deserve this!" for the umpteenth time. Glen irritates now and needs to be killed off. I couldn't care less if he is one of the originals, in the beginning he was the cool kid with ideas now he's just "hardman wannabe Glen" who turns "forgiving soft man Glen" mode in one whole episode.

I might be in a minority but I think they should have left Morgan in the background. They should have introduced him in another 3/4 seasons or whenever this damm show ends!. Watching him with that stick like others have said was proper Denzel Book Of Eli type shit. No doubt they'll give us flashback filler for next season to explain that hilarious transformation. They gave us some comedy moments in that finale.. Morgans ninja skills, Daryl's triple decapitated head streak, stealth zombies feature again in the food trucks.. Pete's accidental but accurate throat slit with a sword..whilst drunk.
 
The triple chain decapitation was brilliant just because of how funny it was. Walkers in trucks just sitting quietely for the door to open is also brilliant. They are the loudest MF'ers on the show, yet they still manage to sit quitely and not be heard whilst packed in a truck haha.
 
I like to think the walkers were playing poker in the trucks and were like "Oh shit better be noisy and hungry rawwrrrrrhhrrraaaa" when the doors opened.
 
Imagine Jones turns into zombie,insane,strong and you cant kill him with piercing his skull,no brain inside.

Daryl is looking more and more like an anime character with his eyes and hair.

Not true. :nono:

I could hardly see his eyes in that last episode, and we all know how big anime eyes are.

I've had this in my head since I read some article on Cracked. Plus, aren't muscles an important part that determines how we move? Given the state of some of the walkers out there, it's a miracle they're able to lift their hands up at all.

Which is why even though it was a disappointment, World War Z's depiction of how the outbreak went down is way more believable. Can't imagine Walking Dead's walkers overwhelming the army to be honest.

I'd like a zombie story where freshly turned zombies are fast raging psychos who then decompose to the point where they turn into more regular slow shambling zombies.

Loved the shot of Carol's face who gave no sh*t to the architect suffering on the ground. Just watching to see what happened next, and an imaginary congratulatory slap on the back.

The episode should have been called Redemption, all the cnuts got a second/last chance. Everyone that wanted it that is, the drunk obviously didn't want it. Or Carol didn't want him to get one.

Well that blows my 'hidden army' protecting Alexandria theory. How the fck did they survive on luck alone? Terminus and Woodbury were wrecked. The Wolves don't look that scary, nothing can beat the Guv'nor and his armies. And you just know Morgan has shown his face to close the loop on his storyline. He will die trying to protect someone - maybe Judith. RIP in advance TDawg x.x.
 
It was full of promise, but ultimately a let down. I wonder what they'll do with Morgan after his "all human life is precious" stance and then walking in on an execution?

I guess next season will be all about the new village vs the wolves, or governor war mark 2?
 
Has he done anything outside of Twilight? What is he like as an actor? Even if hes terrible, he will fit right in anyway lol.
 
I've seen him in a couple of things that he did aside from Twilight and his range is basically somewhere between awful and average. He's apparently playing a character who makes the Governor look like a puppy. So, of course, the guy from Harry Potter and Twilight is clearly the man for the job :-/
 
I really hope they show Morgan and how he became a ninja. Even if that's an episode where he finds a working TV/DVD player combo and watches Book Of Eli on repeat.

It was so funny the scene with Carol and Pete. He didn't look to bothered by the fact that she was threatening to kill him but the minute she said "clean my dishes" he lost it. It's as if he was thinking "no woman tells me to clean dishes!" :lol:
 
Is it not an April Fool? The article I saw included quotes from him and one of TWD writers (I think) that were dubious at best.

That was a bit silly wasn't it. Perhaps there's a band of ninjas in a remote mountain village that he hooked up with for a while. Then we can have a spinoff series called Ninjas vs Zombies :drool:
 
I think I'm in a minority in that I though the Carol scene was ridiculous.

I thought so too, but having Googled, the story is everywhere. So it might be an April Fool, but if so a hell of a lot of people have been taken in, including some relatively respectable film websites.
 
Bit disappointing that the only ones to die were the wife beater and Bill Gates.

Thought it was an April Fool joke at first, but apparently Robert Pattinson has been cast as the supervillain for next season. This worries me.

I've not even read this and even I can tell it's an April Fools joke.
