I have a lot to discuss with The Walking Dead season finale!

I'm actually writing this Tuesday night but retro posting it to Monday because I really wanted to take it all in and think it over.

I can't believe most of my predictions were right for the show.  I also can't believe that Sunday night's show drew 9 million viewers (the show's highest ever).

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE SHOW YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







On my halloweenforum.com website a whole bunch of morons are being picky and saying that the writer's either aren't any good or are inconsistent.  They say stuff like they're glad Dale died or want Lori to die or they actually like Andrea.

I've just about given up completely on that thread because those people are sooooo ridiculous. 
I should just tell them to try and write for a series and see how many viewers they get.  It's not easy to write as well as this show's writers do.

I'm fine with the fact that a couple nobody characters like Jimmy and Patricia died since we never got around to knowing them or caring.  I LOVED that Andrea got left behind!  I had only wished she got eaten instead of getting rescued by the new character Michone (who's apparently well loved in the comic books).  And she looks pretty interesting with jawless, armless zombies on chains attached to her.  I only hope she isn't like some weird anime ninja character....we will see.

I can't believe that Lori reacted to Rick the way she did at the end when he told her about Shane.  She was the one egging him on and being manipulative to him in the first place.  He did need to be put down, he was asking for it, and he was a trouble-maker.  Shane totally deserved it.

I like that they finally said what Jenner told Rick at the end of season 1.  That was cool.  So they will all turn when they die.  Interesting.....

I felt bad for Rick near the end.  He was so tired and stressed out.  It's not easy being a leader and being expected to always make the right calls.  I don't think it was fair for the group to go all crazy on him when he told them what Jenner said, or about Shane.  Of course, he didn't pick the best time to tell them all that either.....but he's really stressed.  Poor baby.  I just wanted to give Rick a big ol hug and tell him he's doing a good job.

Anyway, it took me a while to figure out that it was a prison behind them.  I'm not sure what's going to happen in there, but it depends on who's holed up in there as well.  Is it prisoners?  Bad guys?  Cops?  Good guys?  A lot of people, or only a small group?  No matter what happens, I'm pretty sure the group will fall into the fold of people in there and Rick will lose his leadership role.  Someone else will take over somehow.....hopefully without killing any characters I really like.

I can't wait for next season and it's shaping up to be quite the roller coaster from the season finale.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the show and this season.  I've been addicted since the first episode and I'm going to have to find a way to make it through the spring and summer without my weekly fix......
