The Walking Dead "Too Far Gone" After Thoughts

I am sorry that this post is so late today, and I will try to do better on putting things up earlier. Last nights episode of The Walking Dead was truly amazing, and I cannot believe the aftermath of the prison take down. We knew that the prison could not last forever, but the way it went out was something we wanted to see. It was an epic final showdown between Rick and the Governor, and boy oh boy did that final fight do them justice. The Governor was always going to go back to the prison, and when he found Lily, Meghan, and Tara he had a reason to go after it again, and that to him was all the reason he needed to kill all these people. The Governor has shown his real colors now to Tara, who is right on the frontline with him this whole time thinking of him as the man who saved them from the hole they were stuck in. Well now he has shown that he really does not have a soul because he killed Hershel. Yes, Hershel is gone and it was probably the saddest thing to watch. Maggie and Beth were there watching the whole thing, and it wasn't just a shot to the head either. The Governor got Michone's sword and cut Hershel's neck, and he was still moving along a bit but then the Governor got him and just decapitated the poor guy. I was sitting there shocked the whole rest of the episode because I could not process what I just saw. Then standing there watching him brutally kill this man was Lily holding Meghan's body close to her. I think that was when you sort of saw what humanity, and love was left in the Governor just leave his body. He grabbed Meghan out of her mother's arms and shot her in the head without hesitation, and that was just intense.

Meghan was playing in the mud while Lily was watching a walker drown in the water. The Governor had told them they would be safe there because the walkers couldn't make it through the water, but she watched to see if the walker would get them anyways. Meghan was playing the mud and a walker was hiding there and when she picked up a heavy sign that he was under, it got her and bit her. Lily was not fast enough to save her daughter, and then she took her to Brian. Man this whole episode was just a huge emotional mess, even for the Governor because all he wanted was a family. Yes he was a bad man who kill Hershel, and ruined lives but still it was sad seeing him just lose everything once and for all.

Daryl had a cool move where he used a walker as a body shield and threw a grenade at the enemies. Daryl is such a bad ass, and he shot Mitch right in the chest with this crossbow. Tyreese was under a lot of fire, and who came to his rescue? Lizzie and the other kids with guns. Carol taught them right, and Rick didn't want the kids to learn about it. This proved that these kids have what it takes to survive out there in this world, and the shot Lizzie delivered to Alisha's head was perfect. I thought it was the best shot of the night. Carol would be very proud of her girls if she was there to see them. Rick had a fist fight with the Governor, and it was pretty brutal. Rick got some great hits in, and this is why I thought the death of the Governor was done well. Rick got to get some punches in, and then when the Governor was strangling the life out of Rick, Michone came in and stabbed him in the chest. I thought Michone was going to finish him off but then she just leaves him there, and part of me was like "NO! What are you doing? Someone is going to save him." Then Lily came out of nowhere and just shot him right in the head, and they showed the king chess piece and a walker stepping on it. The fall of the Governor happened in a way that I thought gave justice to the whole story.

Now the whole group is separated, and they don't really know who is alive at this point. A group left on the bus, Maggie was with Bob and Sasha, Tyreese was with the kids, Michone just left, and Rick was with Carl. We just don't know where they are going to go, or what is going to happen. Something happened to Judith and we don't know if she is alive or dead. There was a lot of blood in that car seat so we just will have to wait and see if someone grabbed her. The season returns February 9 to AMC. Thank you for reading.

Keep Dreaming and Scheming! Till Next Time!
