Fantastic.

Kinsler is not gonna bite. Has to last batter.

They have to get this guy outta here!

How is it funny? Am I missing something?

I don't get it. Why would he do that?

I became a fan in 1979 when Carew was traded to the team.

If that's Blanton, it's scary, but I didn't have a lot of optimism in him. Vargas is a different matter. I think our offense has been okay and we can't get 5 or 6 runs every day. I think Vargas can be a big asset, but if not, losing Morales will be a big bummer.

I know it's early, but it would be nice if Vargas can give us a good game after yesterday's not so stellar outing. Would be nice to count on someone other than the W boys.

the whole scene involving carl and hershel in the woods was a product of bad direction. i imagine the audience was supposed to side with hershel but you see the guy inching forward like he's going to raise his weapon at any moment.

I think you're right, flute. The producers may have wanted us to see Carl as doing something questionable, but many people (I'm on the AMC blog) don't.

Maybe it's a female thing?  

Carl explicitly said that he knew the Governor killed Merle when explaining why he killed that guy. Was he speaking generally as in "if you had killed him, Merle would be alive because none of this would have happened" or was he saying that he knew it was the Gov that killed him? It sure seemed to me like he was saying the latter, but how would they know?

He knew based on the tracking information from Daryl. Just a supposition that the Gov or one of his goons did it, I guess.

I think the upcoming season should be the last.  As many people said when the series started, there's only so much you can do in a zombie apocalypse; you'll run out of ideas eventually.  

They should move on from the prison next season, maybe after hearing about a safe zone somehow.  And then they all die. 

According to the comic book, they go to Alexandria, a supposed safe zone. We'll see how that goes. Can't end the show yet though. There's a lot more that can be done.

I agree with Torrid on the Carl issue.   Watched the episode again, and drop the gun.  So the guy slowly walks towards Carl with the gun like he's handing it over.  Or is he walking over, to take the gun from the little kid thinking he won't shoot.  As I stated above, it's a comment on society, and there are a lot of them.

 

Gov mowing down the people and the people not reacting.  Remember what the Gov said in previous episodes.  How could they take the prison when you said it was impossible.  Get anyone that can carry a gun and we'll take the prison.  Or when that whole interaction with the kid on the wall and Andrea.  She was an expert with the bow, yet she couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.  Then got all unglued when Andrea too care of business easily.  The Gov showed what was shown all season, that he is a cold blooded killer.  Remember the soldiers?  Now he's a cold blooded killer that's pretty insane.  And while it's not deliberate, or maybe it is, but Newton or Aurora anyone?

 

Next season is going to be interesting.  Just introducing new characters.  But where to go from here?  Is it a hunt for the Gov as the main story?  A few episodes ago, they said they were running short on supplies, and they take on probably 20 more people? Will the whole season be about clearing the prison, which would be boring.  And taking on a bunch of people, that are used to electricity and houses and relative safety, and putting them in a prison with walkers everywhere.  (statement on society?)  

 

It's almost like they are running out of juice, and it's time for them to move to a new Walking Dead project.

I was disappointed when I read in Hollywood Reporter that the Gov will return in season 4. I don't have an issue with him returning, but I wanted it to be later, maybe in season 5 or even 6. I just hope this Gov thing doesn't cover the entire season.

I never thought that they would go hunting for the Gov, but that's possible. Don't think they'll do that though. They have all these people to take care of now and going on such a hunt would put many at risk. You wonder what the Gov has planned though. It would make sense for him to recruit a whole bunch of psychos to take another run at the prison.

I was discussing with my workmate and she said she would during the regular season with the game out of reach such as in Darvish's case. I said no way. What do you think? 

The previews look a lot better than the original which in essence was a horror/comedy.

It's not supposed to follow the comics, flute. They're purposely veering off so readers don't know what's going to happen.

The thing with Andrea was pretty shaky. If she worked on the pliers a lot more than talking, she would have been loose. See how long it took her to get one hand loose? For a veteran walker killer like Andrea, her death was mighty weak. 

I liked the Governor scene, mowing everyone down. They had no idea he was a maniac and Allen had no plans on killing him. He seemed to be flexing his muscles, wanting the Gov to stand down. He had no idea who he was dealing with. Secondly, Allen had a history of "freezing." That was the argument he had with Tyreese about Donna. I had no problem with that scene or anyone else not firing at him. Loved the looks on the faces of Shumpert and Martinez.

Saw Talking Dead afterwards and was very surprised the poll regarding if Carl did the right thing in shooting the "kid" was 50/50. He was lucky he wasn't killed on sight, running through the woods with a rifle. You don't speak english? Drop the gun doesn't mean give me the gun.

I agreed with Carl on every account in that episode except his disgust on bringing in the Woodbury folks. Carl has a lot of trust issues and rightfully so. His father needs to talk to him, but on the flip side, stop making dumb decisions like giving up Michonne. Carl was also upset about that.

A bit disappointed, I agree with most here that it was good but not for a finale. The nonsense between Andrea and Milton lasted too long. Milton: "I'm still alive." How and why? The Gov used him as a pin cushion. You saw the size of that knife?

Best part of the episode was Carl. I think he should have killed that guy and I disgreed with Hershel. Anyone?

I'd say at least 6.

Looking at the schedule, I'll say 18-9.
