The only thing I wondered is the time frame that the governer is lurking about what happened to all the walkers that were accumulating, I know they mowed down a large amount, but the area seemed full of them, now the guv can lurk about , outside the prison,with nary a walker to be seen.

Okay, let's put this one to bed. It's not that people think the characters should leave the prison. Similar to Herschel's farm, there's no reason anyone would want to leave. However, fans are tired of the location and the scenario because the prsion has turned into Herschel's farm 2.0 and that feels redundant. So fans feel the writers have taken too long to come up with a compelling reason for the group to be forced into abandoning the prison. If the Governor pushes them into that very situation, it's unfortunately a whole season too late but may be the only redeeming factor of the last two episodes.

It also doesn't help that they did little to nothing to develop the new prison arrivals so the whole flu storyline was boring as shit. I don't care about Tyreese or his daughter so her being sick meant nothing to me. Same for Tyreese's girlfriend. The creepy little girl can end up under some tank treads for all I care. Glenn I like but for some reason have not been invested in his survival this season. All that leaves is Herschel and his whole giving people comfort reasoning came across like a veiled death wish since he seems to have forgotten that he has two daughters to take care of.

So out of all the sick people in the prison, only one matters (three if you count Glenn and Tyreese's daughter). Hardly compelling storytelling.

If the show is to remain anchored on the prison, they need to make those dwelling in it more than red shirts with the ocassional line of dialogue.

Yup, I enjoy it too but it is very flawed. It is poorly plotted - as you say nothing has really happened this season. The sickness was a good development and a new threat they hadn't written in before, but it didn't really amount to anything other than Carol leaving. And now we are supposed to be interested in the governor again, but they already exhausted this character's potential last season, and he came back way too soon for it to be interesting and feel organic.

It was probably expensive expensive as hell to build the set too.

Better than last week's snoozefest but only because I knew it was leading to the prison.

I am curious to why some are so concerned with how much the "prison set" cost? If they are not making money on the show then it will end because it is not profitable...not because they built an elaborate set.

Bravo!

And, as someone else mentioned already, that is why he kept saying "I don't want this" over and over as we was feeding Martinez to the biter pit.

Huh... it's actually a cool set. I'm curious why the walkers just don't invade from the side where all those production trucks are. I mean, the whole back is just wide open! -rolleyes-

Sort of like how, if they were trying to really make the situation real, they would be out slaying zombies daily. The Gov would have been shot in the head long ago and that fence would be much stronger. The group would be onto restarting civilization, with zombies and larger factions (like a possibly still-existent US government) getting in the way.

Can I be the showrunner?

Cool link. I like seeing the proximity and different directions the prison, farm and woodbury are from each other. Can't believe they haven't traveled outside of a 50+/- mile circle. The CDC seems to be the furthest they have been from the prison

Clever of you to figure this out since we saw him near the prison three weeks ago.

Right? I heard such great things about this character from comic fans and was expecting an awesome badass to buddy up with Rick and snap him out of his crazy funk. Instead, all we get is Tyreese being a whiner. That moment where he was surrounded by walkers wasn't even as badass as it should have been because, frankly, it was a totally different character (just played by the same actor) and I just new it'd be a cocktease.

At least Michonne is still cool. I hope they don't ruin her or kill her off.

So is the woman with the M4 supposed to be a lesbian like the other girl the Governor brought?
