Man, what the hell is up with the suddenly appearing zombies. The one in this episode was some ninja type zombie or some shit.

Seriously, right? They use noise when entering buildings and listen all quietly and the zombies are like "Shhhhh ... dude, ninja walk THEN make noise the last two feet"



Also, I really freaking loved Rick's dazed and stone cold look when he had the gun pointed at that cop's head. That is the face of man on the verge of insanity.

Yeah, this was great.

Was kind of a filler episode though, the whole "car out of nowhere" and recover could have been streamlined to just one battle and actually went in.

And fucking Jesus H Christ at whats-her-name being duped. Really? You are just going to "buy that"? But then again, such a really great season so far that even the 'lows' are still really good.

Kind of. Seriously, you don't turn your back on him. I knew it from the second she says "really, could you find him so I could put myself in an awkward situation and you can possibly escape?". I had my doubts before but that sealed it. Oh, yeah ... she's fucked and he's the bad guy we knew he was.

My guess is the other two cops are the 'good ones' and they'll probably flip their leader switch in the mid-finale.
 
Can't wait. Wonder if something happens to Beth. I'd like to see Maggie's reaction considering she mentioned her sister's name like twice since the prison went up in flames.

Only T-Lion got the axe in the Season 3 midseason finale but I suppose that was enough... ;_;
wasn't sophia's death in a midseason finale?

I know she technically didn't die but the reveal that she was dead and then rick killing her for good was awesome. Or was that not a midseason finale episode.

Beth
gone i think
I also think beth is gonna die. I feel like someone's gonna die (should have gone with Rick's plan). It might be carol but it would be weird to put her in a coma and then kill her. That only leaves beth. Noah wouldn't have enough impact. Sasha would be harsh. No one else makes sense.

I think T-Dog didn't die in a mid-season finale. Iirc:
Season 1 Finale: Jacqui, Jenner.
Season 2 Mid-season: Sophia.
Season 2 Finale: Jimmy, Patricia.
Season 3 Mid-season: Donna, Penny, Oscar
Season 3 Finale: Milton, Andrea
Season 4 Mid-season: Hershel, Meghan, The Governor
Season 4 Finale: ?
 
killing either carol or beth at this point in the story would be outrageously stupid even for this show

one of the few things this show does really really well is the reunions between characters that haven't seen each other in a while, and i really want to see that moment between beth and maggie

that does kind of bother me a little bit. on one hand, she did ask Daryl about Beth in the very first proper scene of the season and definitely seemed relieved to hear that her sister was alive. but i still can't understand why she would join Abraham's group and straight up leave without a resolution to that situation unless she was supremely confident that Beth would eventually be recovered

basically this whole thing would be extremely ridiculous if Beth just died at this point. if it's either/or, it has to be Carol. i guess killing people off right when they actually become fucking actual three dimensional characters is par for the course here though, so i wouldn't really be surprised either way

kind of wish they buck the trend and don't kill anyone off in the mid-season finale and save the deaths for a moment when it actually fuckin means something

So I kinda still dont get how people think that the last episode was a filler episode. I mean its about Rick and co trying to come up with a plan on how to get Beth and Carol back which they then execute part 1 of which is get some of the cops out so they can trade them for Beth and Carol. I guess you could say the Glenn groups part was kinda of filler but then again it them coming to terms with what happend and what they are going to do next as the only plan they had was get to D.C.

I've been watching this show since the beginning and I'm sure those deaths were shocking at the time, but honestly I barely remember most of those characters now. Donna and Penny I don't remember at all.

They weren't shocking, Donna was the woman of Tyrese group and Penny was the zombie daughter of the governor. It was a very tame episode in losses.

My philosophy going into tonight is that
__Carol__
is more likely to get killed off... so long as Maggie and company stay away from Atlanta.
If they double back to the church, find out about the Beth & Carol rescue plan and dash off to join the cavalry then - well, it won't look good for
__Beth__
.
The distance between the sisters and the needed reunion is the one sole piece of plot armor Beth still has up her sleeves.

Why are we using spoiler tags for baseless speculation again?

I really hope they don't kill off Carol tonight just because it feels so damn predictable. It's like they have been building up to her death for 3 or 4 episodes now so I'm hoping they do something totally unexpected instead.
 
Midseason finale tonight:
Coda

New enemies disregard rules and morals; although Rick wants to find a peaceful agreement, the enemies seem to prefer a more violent resolution.
After tonight, TWD is off until February 8th.

Seriously wtf @ that list

Where's Shane? Dale?
Shane and Dale were killed in the same episode, the one before the season finale.
Edit: Wrong, Dale was killed in episode 11 (Judge, Jury, Executioner) and Shane in episode 12 (Better Angels) with Beside the Dying Fire (episode 13) closing the season.

I think we get the infamous comic scene that I will not be spoiling (even with a spoiler tag), yup that's how awesome that scene will be guys

If we're thinking about the same thing, that definitely won't be for a little while - maybe season 6/7. Also, judging by Kirkman's remarks, I think it'll happen to a different character.

No kidding. I have picture perfect memory and I don't remember anyone on that list except for Sopgia, Andrea, Hershel, and the Gov.

Show is full of forgettable characters.

It's either going to happen to either Daryl or Carol then.. maybe

Imagine if they go a whole other route and just kill off everyone in Maggie and Glenn's group.



Dammit Tyrese! Always go with Rick's plan.
So so stupid they didn't go with Rick's plan. Could've gotten in and out without any casualties most likely. I blame Daryl more then Tyreese tho cause the dude could've sided with Rick and his plan but decided not to.

Very curious to find out in that spoiler I accidentally read in TVBTN's comment section a few weeks ago proves to be true...

Also, HYPE for the midseason finale tonight! Whoop whoop! >:O
