Yet, Ricks group didn't lose anyone other than Andrea. 27 people die & it's essentially all extras.
I'm glad Rick is able to live his dream by starting a nursing home. The ending scene was a little anticlimactic in my opinion.
Most of them were children.
I think it was an awesome finale because I think people were expecting a bloodbath but instead it ended some plotlines (Woodbury, Andrea), started up plotlines for next season (Bloodthirsty Carl. Karen, Tyrese and Sasha joining the prison gang) and left unanswered questions (Wtf is Rick gonna do with a prison full of old people and children? What's the Governor gonna come back with next season?)
If people thought it was going to be all out war, end of story cliffhanger ending, new bad guy next season, that's bad.
The way this season ended was all about holding onto hope.
Boring for some but I found it fascinating.

IT was ok.
The first episode of GOT was way better last night!

Wait, what? Rooker's name has always been with the zombie eyes background this season. At least in the opening credits. Laurie Cohan's (Maggie) name has always been in front of the tombstones.
Unless I'm missing something or unaware of which part of the credits (opening or closing) you're talking about.
The names are always in the same order, but what shows up in the background changes. Rooker had the zombie eyes, Laurie Holden had the tombstone. Merl was zombiefied, Andrea died.
Anyway, gotta say i loved the finale, even though it wasnt what i thought it would be. I actually think i loved it because it wasnt what i thought it would be. The governor killing his own forces blew my mind. I do have a few questions though:
Did Ricks zombie ambush plan work at all? I couldnt tell if they actually got any of the Woodburians.
Why did Rick and company take everyone to the prison? It would seem to me, they'd just take over woodbury. Its easily defended (although not as much as the Prison), and one would imagine Woodbury is stocked full of supplies.
Where the heck does the story go from here? I cant imagine spending another season at the prison. I cant imagine them traveling with that many women and children. I cant imagine the show continuing with a group of 30+ people.
How frustrating was it to watch Andrea take her sweet damn time trying to get the pliers?

How frustrating was it to wait for her to pull the trigger? I was wondering how far back the camera would pan before we heard the shot. I almost wanted to see Rick or Daryl to start tapping their feet and look at their watch.

I know we are suppose to suspend disbelief when watching the show put the way the governor holds and shoots his weapons drives me nutty!

Well one he is aiming with a blind eye and two how do hold a flashlight and fire that gun with the same hand at the same time.
