I assumed that the Gov wasn't dumb enough to leave the keys in the truck. Also, it also seemed like Andrea lost her knife in the building somewhere, otherwise she would have slashed the tires or tried to stab the Gov upon capture.
Didn't require too much thought on my part...

The way the Governor got to Andrea at the end was bullshit, a deus-ex-machina that was forced upon by not planning out that story arc with consideration to the episode count.
There is no way that he beats her to the prison without using a truck and thus being able to be heard.

I think people are stretching for things to bitch about.

Hah, people used to complain that GoT would have 'filler' episodes with people just talking.

So do people think any of the woodbury survivors will connect with Rick's group heading into season 4? Or does everyone at woodbury die. I'm mostly speaking of Milton, Tyrese, etc.

I'm thinking only Tyreese and MAYBE MAYBE Andrea will re-connect with Rick and co. and go on the lam for survival next season.

I remember people making non-specific remarks about what was in the spoiler tags outside of spoiler tags...and it was enough to sorta make a guess about what they were commenting on.

Exactly..I think someone mentioned that Shane was cast in a new series? Although you really can't avoid that info.

Milton seems to be a good bet to return next season. The writers really seem to like the character and have given him a huge chunk of the more important moments this season.
And I have figured out why Talking Dead doesn't work as anything but a promotional vehicle for the show. They obviously can't discuss any criticisms or weaknesses of the series, which turns everything into asking the actors how they felt about shooting a scene and never getting anything more than platitudes in return.

Even if this show sucks at how they write for Minorities and Women, I LOOOOVE that the High Profile Blacks generally don't trust any of these muther fuckers. Tyrese and His Sister giving Andrea a hard time was great. Tyrese and his Sister are already giving the Gov the Side Eye. It didn't take them as long as Andrea to figure out shit is funky in Woodbury. Michone's distrust or Woodbury and Rick's people was another example.

I, too, have hated the music queues over the past few weeks...which have nothing do to with the episode (unlike the great use of "Civilian" in Season 2's "18 Miles Out"), but rather the fact that AMC is trying to sell a Walking Dead CD, so they're putting songs into episodes where they serve no purpose.
I thought last night's show was rather lame, but I haven't decided yet if that's because I hate Andrea's character or if it was simply as poorly written as I thought. The whole warehouse sequence seemed like something you'd see on network TV, and not something the writers of a superior drama would waste their time with...just very cliche. The idea that Andrea would not see (or more importantly HEAR) three walkers coming at her in the woods in the middle of the day was also pretty hard to swallow.
Anyone else read the online comparisons being made between the Governor and KILL BILL's Elle? Just for the record, Elle's got the better outfit and the better whistle.

If the Gov knew she was going to the prison anyway, why not wait for her there to begin with?
And Andrea, if you're being chased by a truck, go in areas a truck can't...not open fields and main roads.

Because if he did leave the keys, I would assume Andrea would have taken the truck. I don't need every little thing spelled out for me.

Yeah, I didn't get the point of that flashback. I thought it would have been more interesting to have Michonne give some back story and maybe show a stronger relationship between Andrea and her, but it was the same stupid stuff we saw when she was first introduced.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Prey" -- 3/17/13
I thought they were going to make out or something. No not for the lecherous or prurient element, but to show that their relationship was more than what we assumed at the beginning of season 1. That would have been a good reveal.

I assumed it was to point out that Michonne's pet walkers were people she despised before they became walkers and the parallelism in that the Governor was planning on doing something similar to her.
