Great episode. Didn't want to see Herschel get killed off but at least that asshole Gov get gutted by Micchone. I also don't think Judith is dead but inside the prison with the kids and Tyresse.

So who is alive?
Lily and Tara from the outsiders
Beth & Daryl
Maggie, Sasha and doc
Tyrese and the girls
Rick and Karl.
I honestly thought that Tara and lily would die, but I'm guessing they have more in store

My biggest beef was the idea that the Governor and his people could drive an M60 tank and a bunch of SUVs up to the front gate of the prison without being seen or heard. Which means, not only is everyone in the prison deaf, they've also apparently abandoned the idea of having anyone on watch.
And then, when they are confronted with a group where the key people are standing out in the open fully or at least partially exposed (the Governor, the people with the guns on Herschel and Michonne, and the two guys on top of the tank), the prison people, who have rifles and are in positions of concealment, don't start shooting until it's too late. And when they do, they can't hit the broad side of a barn.

I thought the episode was pretty lame and completely unrealistic as usual, but although I watch I am not much of a fan of the show. Almost think I am watching just to see annoying Carl die a horrific death, he is one of the lamest characters on TV

I liked the episode but didn't love it because it had some pretty lazy writing.

You're right. I totally misread that. And, yes, Lilly's careless attitude towards Meghan's safety was ridiculous. Especially when you consider that her daughter was almost bitten by a walker the day before.

That shootout was a great scene.
While Rick was making his speech about living together and Herschel started to smile, I knew he was dead. Going to miss him, but at least Michonne finally got her revenge on the Gov.
Very happy to see the tank driver get an arrow. Surprised to see the Gov's "daughter" get bit. You don't usually see it when a child dies from a zombie.
I guess the second part of the season may be about all the splinter groups reconnecting.

Although I enjoyed this episode, I had these same gripes. Also, other than Mitch (who was basically a loon as well as the Governor's bitch), why were the Governor's crew so kill crazy? When Mitch started blasting the tank, I would have assumed everyone else would have left the Governor and Mitch to wage their little war on their lonesome.
I hope the lesbian cop is added to the permanent cast. She seems smart and capable, not to mention kind of cute. I was a little disappointed she didn't come to her senses and join the fight for the prison group a little quicker.

I'm not sure about Judith. My initial thought was that she's alive because her body would be in the car seat if she were dead. But maybe they (producers/AMC/whoever) decided not to show a dead baby. 
So, Tyrese is with the children. The writers are going to make him follow their lead, right?
What was Tyrese trying to show Daryl and Rick? A hole in the wall? An altar?
The "army" walks right past the bus where everyone saw Rick ran behind?
So a sick Glenn is with the remaining Woodbury redshirts? He's toast.
With Daryl and Beth, I wonder if they go looking for Carol.
Currently watching Talking dead:
- Lauren's hot
- Alisha's death in slow motion is awesome
- A 31 year old woman is Carl's stunt double
- What a great preview clip for the 2nd half...

I agree she's kinda cute. But "smart and capable" is the total opposite of how I would describe her. This is the dumbass that left her sidearm on the table where the Governor (a total stranger to her at the time) could have swiped it and shot her and her family with it. She's just a dumbass and a bit of a boaster. Also, she wasn't a cop. She was an academy washout.

Very similar to the comics I'm guessing:
I do have to wonder if they will ever address the MASSIVE group of zombies that the team found when they went out for the medical supplies.

It was a dissected animal, I believe a rabbit, laid out like you would a frog in biology class.
This follows a similar storyline in the comics, which along with a comment made in the episode by Daryl, leads me to believe a supposition I and some others had a few episodes back about who really killed Karen and Frank, may be more on the money than some folks may have thought. I'm going to spoilerize this, as it contains some elements from the comics storyline, but most of it is my reasoning why I'm thinking where this might be going.

I kept thinking that Bob was the one doing the rat thing. He's having his problems of trying to keep his mind occupied that he tried to drink his way into a stupor. I mean what was in that box he was looking at and grabbed before Sasha came to talk to him?

I would've assumed everyone would have second thoughts after Rick mentioned his group had children then the Gov killed Herschel in cold blood.

Great mid-season finale. Like others said, this should have just been the end of Season 3 with Woodbury attacking, so i'm annoyed that they wasted half a season just to stretch things out.

I had a thought last night and I hope I'm wrong but... Does it strike anyone else as odd that they seem to have made an effort not to confirm the death of the Governor? Sure they had the symbolism with the chess piece being trampled but, Michonne never confirmed her kill (at that point I assumed we'd at least see the walkers chow down on the Governor) and then when Lilly supposedly finishes him off, we only see the gun fire (and not even from the Governor's POV). Heck, even Tara's booty call got an onscreen death during this episode. It's as if they left the door open for themselves to bring him back (however illogical) later down the road.
