Truly this is the most intense and explosive episode yet. Mind blowing. Shocking. Epic battle. The second time I watch it, I was still sitting on the edge of my seat. No wonder, The Walking Dead continues to be number 1 in the ratings.
What I like most about this episode is Rick's transformation. In Season 3 and beginning of season 4, he was unstable and could not lead properly. Buth through Hershell's guidance he gained his humanity back. Too bad Michone didn't have enough fight scenes. But overall it's worth to be called mid season finale. It will make you want for more.
For those who miss it, here's the recap.
By telling lies, the Governor has convinced his group to attack the prison. He has captured Michone and Hershel and plan to use them as ransom to get the prison. Hershel tries to convince the Governor that their groups can live together in the prison peacefully but the Governor disagrees.
Back at the prison, Daryl confronts Rick about Carol's banishment ( I'm a little bit disappointed the scene is very brief ). They decided to tell Tyreese but were interrupted by an explosion. The governor and his group arrive.
The governor starts to demand that they leave the prison otherwise they would kill Hershel and Michone then attack them and destroy the prison. Rick negotiates that they all could live together in the prison. It may not be easy but they could do it. Hershel smiles showing he's glad to see that Rick has come back. All his efforts to influence Rick for the better has paid off.
The group seemed to agree with Rick but the governor is not happy. So he slits Hershel's neck using Michone's sword and the battle ensues. Michone was able to escape. Infuriated by the death of Meghan ( bitten by a walker in the camp ), the governor ordered an all out attack. The tank has taken down the fences.
Glen and some of the group managed to escape with the bus. But it was not seen whether Judith and other children are safe. Tyreese almost got killed but was saved by Lizzie. Thanks to Carol's great training.
By strangulating, the governor almost killed Rick but Michone stabs him through his back using her sword. Rick then returns to prison and found Carl killing walkers. They search for Judith but only found a bloody baby carrier.
Lilly finds the wounded governor lying on the ground and kills him by shooting in the head. With one man's bad leadership, everything is gone. He promised them survival, but his uncontrolled anger killed them all.
Devastated, Rick and Carl retreat from the prison. Rick tells his son " Don't look back Carl. Just keep going."
The long wait for episode 9 starts now. we would have to wait until February 9, 2014 for the second half of season 4.
What do you think of the mid season finale? I am still shocked by Hershel's departure. Good thing though, he has imparted everything that Rick needs to know to lead again. What do you think will happen now? Share with us your thoughts.

Carol will be back in Episode 10. A lot of people who live down there post what they saw during filming. Those sites are not hard to find.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's great news. I am looking forward to her return.
