Making the ground crunch when she walked, which it did.
Andrea pulled a Michonne. All she did was talk about how the Governor does bad things without giving a single detail, like telling them he attacked the prison using zombies. :smack: Then right afterward Tyreese get’s assigned to the zombie pit where Martinez admits they’re for the prison.
If that’s true then assasinating the Governor would be a slightly more viable plan.
Only a few of the zombies were still active, and all were imobile. So setting them on fire does work, as long as they’re in a confined area. Setting loose zombies on fire would cause alot of collateral damage since they’d keep moving & spreading the fire until their muscles were burnt enough to imobilize them.
I think the makeup team is starting to go overboard showing decay on the zombies. I’m willing to accept that whatever’s animating them is also slowing down their rate of decomposition. The bulk of the zombies should be almost a year old by now. Then again it does look like they’re decaying much slower than normal corpses exposed to the elements would.
I thought that too. It’s not just burnt zombies too; notice even the rotting ones still have functioning eyes?
At least the gubnah was driving something that can handle the terrain, instead of a freakin’ Hyundai. I suspect the sponsors don’t want the evil bad guys driving their cars.
No, not really. I was looking for that, and they did not show himresponding to any sounds of crunching glass under her feet. If anything, she got up to move under the cover of the noise he made while breaking the windows.
Good episode but I am NOT looking forward to any depiction of torture on Andrea, which I think they’ll show some to squick me out. I hope she gets away or is rescued, but I noticed that in the Talking Dead, the crew mentioned a rescue but nobody knows she’s there! Other than Milton I guess, and he’s in no shape to stand up to the Governor. Rick’s not coming for her, Milton’s not, and nobody else even knows about the place. She’s doomed 
I think it was Milton who set the fire. Tyreese is too obvious, and when the Gov was asking Milton about it and Milton asked who did it, the Gov had a look on his face like he knew Milton was the one.
I didn’t think it was too bad of an episode. I did like the cat and mouse with Andrea and the Governor, but it did go on a bit too long.
I’m thinking though, that the fire was a two man operation. It seemed odd to me that Martinez was still so compliant with massacring Rick’s group after his little moment with Daryl. So maybe he was just playing along and after the fact, worked with Milton to get the truck and fuel without being noticed. That would explain how Milton knew about it and failed miserably at lying.
I know exactly what you mean. When he wasn’t actually shown getting devoured by the zombies, my first thought was, “You gotta be fucking kidding me.” That’s even worse then the “Instant Teleport Right Behind YA!” zombie trope this show has been depending on recently.
You should never leave after setting the death trap for the bad guy until you’ve seen him good and dead. Or the the good guy, for that matter. Ask Goldfinger about that one.
You make a very good point about Tyrese and his sister. I do really like those characters.
And my bad, I wasn’t clear–I liked the ep, NOT the dumb takedown. That totally went THUD.
Didn’t this show lose a writer a while back? If so, then the tropes are making a lot more sense.
And yet everyone one this show seems to have unlimited gasoline…
I agree with all the problems people have listed in this thread. The unstoppable Governor; the woman who runs for miles with a pocket knife and doesn’t consider picking up anything else in the METAL FACTORY; the same woman running through open fields and roads; no one seeing the Governor coming back and dumping Andrea into the dentist chair (how DID he sedate her?); Andrea not hearing the Governor coming through the trees behind her (where did he leave the truck?); the zombies that appear when convenient to the scene, etc., etc., etc. The amount of ridiculous writing as reached an all-time high, and now I fear I’m like another poster in this thread- I’m watching it now because it is so bad.
You and the other poster have inspired me. I was getting upset at the poor quality of the show, particularly because it was off to a pretty good start this season. Now I’m gonna laugh at it instead. Lowered expectations.
This. They should at least have showed her trying to do so, and the keys were missing or something. Instead we get “almost there Andrea” and her in a torture chamber. Dammit.
Had to be. I at first thought Merle going solo, but given the footage for the next episode, he seemed firmly planted. And of course there’s no way it’s Tyreese, which the Gov discovered after questioning. Milton’s defiant attitude is new and makes him the likely culprit. And will likely get him killed doing something noble (for once).
I, too.
And the moron is destroying glass that probably not be manufactured again in his lifetime.
I want the societal breakdown and survival - I don’t get nearly enough of it from this show, but it’s kind of the only game in town.
I was distracted when the Governor was whistling in the warehouse/factory. It sounded like the first three notes to Zelda’s Lullaby from Ocarina of Time.
I feel like this episode and last week’s could have been combined into about 1.5 episodes, with an extra half episode of prison stuff and/or Tyrese’s group. Or Merle and Daryl – we’ve only seen a couple interactions between those two, and none since they’ve been back at the prison.
Stay strong. We’ll get some of that in Under the Dome.
I really liked Rick seeing the Governor’s takedown of Andrea out of the corner of his eye, then silently talking himself out of it when he looks through the scope of his rifle. I could almost hear him say “I see things” like he said to Michonne a couple of weeks ago.
Tyrese and his sister are great. I can’t help but think of his companion as a “poor man’s Daryl”. I know his dead wife’s name (Donna), but cannot for the life of me think of his, or his older, suckier Carl kid’s. I could Google it, but I don’t even care enough to take ten seconds to do that. It’s like they stumbled out of a parallel universe.
All that being said, I was completely sucked into the tension of the cat and mouse with Andrea and the Governor. He is super creepy. But I don’t really care if Andrea survives. I just hope she goes quick, leaving more time for the prison crew and Milton, now that he’s suddenly interesting.
I’m starting to think Merle is a mole for the governor.
