    Ultimately though, the audience doesn't care about the baby.

    Wouldn't Herhsal died instantly from him nearly cutting his head completely off? He was crawling as if nothing happened. I am guessing those 2 girls, the sisters, are joining Ricks group.

    Some valid criticisms...
    -Michonne doesn't use guns. There have been tons of situations where she could have, but it's not her TM. Very comic book of them...
    -The Governor would kill Hershel rather than Michonne because (1) Michonne has no relatives to piss off inside of the prison. (2) Hershel was part of the decision-making group (3) He probably figured he would take care of her soon thereafter. (4) It was not yet a convenient time to kill her for the screenwriters.
    -I don't think the grenade entered the tank. It looked like it landed 5 feet in front.
    -There are very neglectful parents in the series. The same could be said of Rick and Carl with the babe.

    That's who I have always thought it was. Especially after the episode where she finds her favorite zombie dead.

    Daryl threw a grenade into the barrel of the tank and it rolled down to the cabin.

    Did anyone mention that no one seemed to check if Herschel actually died? I mean...if he crawled away after the initial hack at his head...then he might have survived if that were his only wound albeit doubtful. But, nobody even checked on him. Then, the Governor cuts off his head and now Herschel's head is a zombie head because no one took his head out. I suppose Michonne could have taken care of it when she got her sword back but I didn't see them show her take care of Herschel's head. Did I miss something?

    Also, if Michonne did take care of Herschel's head after getting her sword back (which the Governor dropped close by where he did the deed), then it seems like Michonne would have just chopped the Governor's head off to return the favor. Why would Michonne leave the Governor to come back as a zombie and possibly kill more people as a zombie? Seems like she would have wanted his head to zombify but not be able to hurt anyone else by removing the body from the head?

    I guess in all the mayhem everyone just assumed Herschel was dead after the initial blow or could not advance to find out because of all the zombies and war going on. Did I miss a scene with Michonne taking care of it? Also, there was a shot when the zombies were advancing where I thought I saw Lori as a zombie. But, that was wishful thinking on my part as it couldn't be because she died in the prison and was presumably all eaten up.

    That was pretty obvious, but that's my point. They could have worked around that, like by having herschel provoke the governor. It's a simple fix.

    I get Michonne's thing is to not use guns, but she basically went AWOL for the whole fight. I don't think it takes that long to free herself and find her sword. Carl was gone too. All they had to do was show them actually involved, even only once, to plug those holes. Michonne could have been dealing with walkers that crept up from the woods and carl could have been trying to take cover or something. I get we're suppose to assume that, but why not just show it? Instead they gave tara too much air time to show she was too scared, which was much more obvious and easier to assume without showing us.

    You obviously haven't watched any beheading videos. It can take a LONG time...

    This season has absolutely sucked so far. I was hoping for every character to die. I honestly feel dumb for watching this show. Why do I keep torturing myself with this terrible, terrible show?

    I thought so too at first but then I remembered Carl finished her off before she became a zombie.

    I'm assuming the Governor did the job as far as Herschel's head goes, he hacked at him numerous times as his girls were firing and crying after him, so they could obviously see that he wasn't coming back.

    I think Michonne wanted the Governor to turn because she really wanted him to suffer since he would be undead and not with his little girl in the afterlife?.... All assumption on my POV.

    Lori was shot in the head by Carl, so she wouldn't turn. That's why when Rick came back he started crying hysterically, cause he knows how traumatizing that was to his son.

    I don't think the Governor ever had any true intention of moving into the prison regardless of what he said. He knew Rick wasn't going to leave even with Herschel and Michonne as captives. The Governor was using his new people with him as pawns in his end game. They were just too stupid to realize and were playing follow the leader. We knew from before that he didn't really change. He was just pretending he changed. The biggest idiot in the lot was the guy in the tank who Daryll took out with an arrow. He wouldn't even stand up to the guy who killed his brother rather than just play his #1 guy. He could have taken the Governor out and the rest of them could have just moved into the prison. Those people lacked common sense and deserved to die...every last one of them except maybe the Governor's girl and the other girl who wouldn't fight. Somehow, I see them joining up with Rick and company after they explain themselves.

    The new group were too easily swayed by a guy that showed up 2 weeks ago

    considering the mysterious deaths of the previous 2 leaders

    I thought that was the crazy lady from the first episode..that tried to kill Rick. Rick didn't finish her off so that she could turn and be with her zombie husband. and now she's one of the zombies invading his home. I thought it was a good point about how they often leave single zombies alone..yet eventually, that single zombie becomes part of a more deadlier herd that they have to face later.

    This.

    Yes, it is really dumb to torture yourself into watching this show if it's so terrible.

    No kidding!

    I do enjoy watching it for its badness and to angrily discuss it with a few friends every week. I still feel dirty after the show ends, though.

    Considering you are a guy that watches be-heading videos and forces himself to watch a show he destests, you might wanna seek some help.

    Lighten up.

    A guy asked if Hershel could have been alive after being hacked up like that. He could have been.

    Again, lighten up.
