Fanof49, are you talking about the guy with the rifle that Carl took out on the tower? As for the guy getting on the tower, unlike walkers I imagine the Governor's crew can get in fairly easily with bolt cutters.

OK....just saw the ending again.
I thought the kid shot the first shot in the final fire fight last week, but he didn't. After that guy had his head blown off while talking, it switched to the kid and the girl.

***--------------------------------- SPECULATIVE SPOILER ALERT BELOW ---------------------------------***

I think the writers are setting the show up for Rick's death, slowly hinting at Carl's readiness in the last 2-3 episode. The way he was holding Judith, catching that elusive breath of clarity that he's been missing for quite some time. I think he's ready to give one last mental push for the group and let go.

RE: OT: The Walking Dead on AMC
Possibly but i see too many correlations to Lost. Jack didn't go until the end...well, not really being the alternate consciousness, but you know where I'm going. I see Rick as Jack...somehow he will be there until the end.

The prison is like the Hatch. It serves a purpose but it's about to get blown to bits and then a new story arc is about to happen.

The writers are drawing us in at the lull and then they are going to set something off. If they extend this Woodbury vs Prison story much longer, they are going to beat it beyond dead.

We still don't know what happened to Morgan and his son from season one. Somewhere, you would think, they are going to rejoin the story.

RE: OT: The Walking Dead on AMC
Rick will survive and the group will scout out a new site. They will move before the Governor kills them all. I think Morgan will be present at their new destination. The big questions are whether Andrea or Tryese and crew join up with Rick and company. The natural evolution I think is for these small communities to grow and grow as survivors straggle in seeking security until you have little fiefdoms all over the country. It is similar to the story arc in Revolution that is set 15 years after all electricity is rendered ineffective.

RE: OT: The Walking Dead on AMC
Speaking of Andrea and Revolution:

This is just my opinion but I believe Andrea is the most uninteresting character in TWD. I see her demise coming in a mexican standoff.

I tried to watch Revolution. I watched the first 6 shows but I just couldn't muster to watch the bad(over) acting and disjointed story lines. Anyone else a fan of that show? Critics have not been kind.

RE: OT: The Walking Dead on AMC
Why do our victims punch the walkers in the mouth, chancing a hand cut filled with walker saliva and infection?

I saw the Governor open his eyes and look at Andrea as she got out of bed. Then she walked in front of the window, casting a shadow upon him that would have gotten his attention and he did not react?

Why is Andrea so concerned about the townspeople? She barely knows them. She knows the Governor is crazy. Her stance doesn't make sense.

So much has been said about how Woodbury has such a manpower advantage over the prison people. But we heard last night that the town has, maybe, 25 able-bodied people (How are they feeding themselves or finding the fuel to have electricity?). The prison has a third of that number, but the prison folk are trained and better shots.

Why is the Governor so crazy and why does he randomly killed people such as the army men? Wouldn't they have been a great asset to the town?

How does he survive with a stabbed eye and likely massive infection and bleeding? He doesn't even seem to be in pain and manages to boink Andrea!

Why doesn't the group just leave that nasty prison? There would have to be better facilities, like schools, hospitals, office buildings, other remote farms, islands and places protected by natural barriers.

Since season 1, the small budget of this production is adversely affecting the story line. The network is just too cheap to put money into sets and productions costs that would make the story line more believable.

I recall a lot of hatchet action, but not too much zombie punching recently. Maybe only when they have to? IE Daryl/Merle fighting?

I saw the Governor open his eyes and look at Andrea as she got out of bed. Then she walked in front of the window, casting a shadow upon him that would have gotten his attention and he did not react?

Not sure if his eye was open, but possibly waiting to see if she would stay loyal?

Why is Andrea so concerned about the townspeople? She barely knows them. She knows the Governor is crazy. Her stance doesn't make sense.

I'm with you on this. Andrea is easily manipulated though as soon as romance is thrown into the mix. (Shane)

Why is the Governor so crazy and why does he randomly killed people such as the army men? Wouldn't they have been a great asset to the town?

He's a megalomaniac, and viewed them as a potential threat to his governor status.

How does he survive with a stabbed eye and likely massive infection and bleeding? He doesn't even seem to be in pain and manages to boink Andrea!

They have medical supplies, and I'm glad they didn't waste an entire episode explaining how he treated it.

Why doesn't the group just leave that nasty prison? There would have to be better facilities, like schools, hospitals, office buildings, other remote farms, islands and places protected by natural barriers.

I'm sure they're up to leaving now, but they had just survived a long winter on the road and probably enjoyed the safety the prison offered.

RE: OT: The Walking Dead on AMC
Complacent Cajun nailed it. Andrea is annoying. Her need to be loved and her own belief that she can negotiate her way out of anything (remember, she was a civil rights attorney) make her a problem.

Prisons are typically very clean and similar to a school or hospital except with large fences and more weapons. Any school or especially a hospital would have been overrun and looted extensively unless it is very remote. They needed to rest and find a place for the baby to be born and the prison was there. They will soon move on to a fortified town it appears.

By the way, are they ever going to do a major recon around the prison for additional ammo, weapons and supplies. They said originally it would be outside the prison but close by and location would be in the warden's office.

I numbered your questions, but here's my take:

1. Since the bites are just infections now (since everyone has the zombie virus in them already), it shouldn't be that big of a deal. But still, I don't see them punching zombies much.

2. Same reason he let her leave and come back after he told her if she left, she should stay gone.

3. Andrea is holding onto hope that things will actually return to normal at some point, and she sees the town as the first real major step towards normalcy. Besides, Andrea's panty dropper is mentally unstable men (Shane, Governor, she seems to have taken a shine to Rick again).

4. It's not just the numbers, it's the resources. As evidenced by the Governor's "hello" to the prison, he can waste ammo without sweating it. Rick's group said they'd burn through all their ammo just clearing out the yard. Also, the Governor could just block them in the prison and wait them out. Food won't last forever.

5. Governor eliminates anyone he sees as a threat to his authority. The army guys would be that. Rick is that way now, because he showed the Woodsbury people that the Governor can get all beat up and such.

6. Drugs and treatment man. That town probably had a pharmacy and they used supplies to patch up his eye. Little surprised about how clean the wound was for happening so recently, but still not bad.

7. The prison is an ideal place to hold up. Only place better would be an island. Schools, malls, hospitals? Lots of windows to shore up. Prison is made to keep people in and out. If they shored up the fence (say like blocking a speeding car into the prison by putting a vehicle in front of it), they'd be in great shape. Assuming, of course, they close the big gaping hole that Tyrese and crew walked in.

And the production costs are secondary. It's following (in a VERY general sense) the storyline from the books.

Great responses. That makes some good sense.
Brings me to the point, can they walk under water, and would they, take it they do not have to breath much.

They have been punching the zombies in the mouth quite a bit (especially Dale and those newcomers). If the veterinarian had to have his legs cut off the stop the spread of the infection (that causes fever and death), then one would think a teeth/mouth cut to one's hand would cause the same problem.

Dale died in season 2. I haven't seen much punching of walkers in the mouth aside from the Woodbury cage fights where there teeth have been removed. I have seen them kick, pull or push a walker out of the way and Merle hit one in the face with his clubhand.
