I also was in the same boat as you on the complaints but wow have they turned this around and done it very well.Never kept up with the comics but will have no problem sticking with the show from now on if this continues.Season 1 was great at the start and then fizzled late but this season has been outstanding and has me wanting more and now!This show has kicked some serious ### during the second half of this season.
No more complaints from me if they continue anything close to this pace.

Great finale.
Great season.
Great show.
I don't know how involved Darabont was with the overall planning of the season (such as Shane's storyline) but the show has definitely been elevated in the episodes since he departed. Kirkman has been hinting for some time that some major fan favorites in the comics would soon appear and Michonne appears to be the first. I'm tempted to do some reading to find out more about her but I'd hate to be spoiled at all. I'll probably risk it because she seems to be one serious bad-### character (love the whole sword and leading the walkers around on chain leashes).
Loved Daryl's line about Glenn's "Asian" driving. He's really become the Sawyer of this show.
It's gonna be a LONG wait until October and the start of Season 3.

Yep. That kids a menace. Dale, Shane and the RV kid all dead and Carl bears some of the responsibility for each of their deaths.

The kid didn't open the RV door it got bashed in.
Awesome finale. I hate Lori, but I guess I can see her getting upset. Problem is that this is all on her (banging Shane, not knowing where the hell her kid is all the time), Rick did nothing wrong. If it stretches it into continuing to be pissed at Rick, then it will be goofy. Daryl and Glen know that Rick's story is 100% true.

I was ready to give up on the show earlier this season. Reading the comics convinced me to stick around and I'm glad I did.I was limping along with the show for a while there as it was one that both me and the lady could agree on. The last few episodes really sucked me in though.

Glen seemed taken aback but I think he still trusts Rick enough to believe he did what he had to do. I think Daryl has become firmly on Rick's side.As far as Lori, she got what she wanted and I think she hates herself because of it and is taking it out on Rick. I think it's one thing for her to plant the seed with Rick that he had to take care of Shane; it's another for him to actually do it. And there's no question in my mind she still had feelings for Shane so having him eliminated was tough for her to accept. I don't care much for her character for a number of reasons but it's not because I think she's poorly developed or anything like that. I just think she's a pretty unlikable character and given how there are plenty of Lori's in the world I don't have a problem with her being in this one.But I won't be the least bit disappointed if she's the next to go.
I think Chris Hardwick summed things up for Rick pretty well on "The Talking Dead" last night - people need to get off his ###. He's gone through a lot lately. People need to cut him some slack.

Game of Thrones and Mad Men are no brainers. Probably better shows as well.
Aside from the zombies, pretty sure you don't have to worry about fantasy stuff. Also, I think most everyone in the show is from the comics, not just hoodie.

It's a prison that they're headed for next season, where #### really gets crazy.

"Andrea, I know you. Hanging out with zombie pets isn't right. You know this!"
Loved how bald chick is talking about Rick not having honor and being a bad leader at the fire and Darryl just shuts her down as dead wrong. Loved that, and also loved Rick saying basically "screw you people, stop #####ing, you wanted me to be the leader, if you don't like it, get the hell out." Everyone else was panicing, Rick was the only one really saying we need to slow down/calm down and try to figure something out. Blindly driving on the road with no supplies and little fuel is asking for a quick death.I thought Lori was having a perfectly natural reaction of shock, it wasn't until Rick told her that Carl had to put Shane down that she went over the deep end. She's still laboring under the delusion that Carl needs to be protected and is just a little boy, Rick had fully excepted and told Carl in the prior episode that he will no longer have a normal childhood and would have to start taking care of himself.Glen seemed taken aback but I think he still trusts Rick enough to believe he did what he had to do.

Only thing that really left me flat at the end was that final shot of the prison, thought they could have done that a lot better. My girlfriend was like "wtf?" She couldn't even tell what the building was.
And I did roll my eyes at the perfect shooting and rare reloading. My shotgun can hold about 7 rounds with no plug, but Herschel fired off like 10-15 there at one point before reaching in his pocket to reload.

I thought it was a great shot. I'm sure all those who read the comics knew exactly what it was immediately. I haven't read them but I've heard enough rumblings to get an idea what it could all be about. But just the idea they were close to another compound of some kind sent the message that there are others out there and they have found a place of apparent safety (which is what Rick insists is still out there). My guess is that will end up being a "Be careful what you wish for" type of deal in Season 3.

Looking back the final episode was good (even taking the shotgun and shooting from cars thing) but the driving around like mad men didnt really seem what a realistic person would do in that scenario. Wouldnt you, you know, just get in the car when you see the walkers that far off and drive and then maybe later try and come back for supplies or something? I dont think I would be driving in circles trying to shoot them all.

Yeah, and as others have mentioned you'd think these folks would have planned for such an event. Can't you just use the two pickups to run down the walkers all night? You don't even have to drive fast. Just ride through them knocking them down, breaking legs, backs. Then finish them off by running over them again and again. Hell you hardly have to fire any shots.

Footballguy
That was actually a good plan if he hadn't been in such a rush to set the fire. Wait until most of them are in and they are climbing all over each other, light it and get out.

Apparently the zombie virus rendered all satellites useless or they could have used a GPS to find out where to go.

It's obvious that someone was using an unlimited ammo cheat.

Seems to me this could probably be easily solved by going on a yacht and finding a nice island.

Haven't watched Homeland yet. My cable provider requires me to pay $20/month for the movie channel that carries it here in Canada. Will probably just buy from itunes this summer. Looking forward to it.

It's a great show. The main character is a US Marine who comes home and is suspected of perhaps being a terrorist.I think there's a Canadian version of it but the guy is a Mountie who is suspected of being a moose.Haven't watched Homeland yet.

which leads me to another question I asked why earlier. Wouldnt you go scavenge like a big truck or bus or something for just an event like this? To plow through the zombies. An early 70's model truck, an 80's suburban, a beat up RV and a new Prious isnt really what I had in mind. And the motorcycle has to be the dumbest of them all.

I think T dawg wanted to do this. Maybe they should have let him do more talking a few episodes back.
I am a bit of a foodie. Love that show.
