Maybe he liked that Season 1 Dale quote, about how having a watch doesn't constrain you from time, it allows you to ignore it.

If it was new guy who ordered Andrea's death, I would still be pissed off at her pointlessness, but not nearly as much. He was trying to clean up shop for the next season.

Seriously, let's see Act 1 of this version of the show.

But they already fucked the story up and got the end game.

I want character arcs to come to fruition.

The despair in that episode was…I don't see it.

Maybe somebody died to zombies in the tombs? Maybe?

WAIT SHIT. Next Fall? Or this year's fall? I've got to wait a fucking year and a quarter to get that aftertaste out of my mouth?

I like to imagine that the writer in charge of Andrea actually IS Andrea. She's just that bad.

Probably the most incompetent the writers have ever been.

She did not kill the Governor when she had the chance. She nearly killed Daryl because of pride. She decided both the Guv and Shane were the best picks for some luvin'.

Andrea and Michonne being buddies is a TV show thing. Andrea and Michonne both stayed 'safe' in the prison.

The Kirkman comic book also keeps much tighter focus on a smaller number of characters.

woah man

Last two episodes before the finale were pretty good, although Andrea's escape episode was building up to this episode, which gave it no payoff.

Agreed. So was Dale. TV show messed them both up :(

You feel deservedly cheated.

Seriously, why wasn't Martinez just like

What gave you this emotional spark?

The season finale for season 2 was catharsis after all the stale melodrama and lack of action.
