The Walking Dead Midseason Finale Review: "Too Far Gone"

  Wow just wow. Everything that happened in "Too Far Gone" really went "too far" pardon the pun, but in a good way people. We got a lot to talk about here in this episode. So lets do this! (SPOILER ALERT: if you haven't watched this past Sunday's mid season finale episode do not read this review! You have been warned!

Let the battle begin!

  When you see the tank at the prison you knew that things were about to get crazy. We were going to get the big war between the two major groups. Which we should have seen in Season 3. Someone was going to die in this episode. The question is: who is going to die? Sadly Hershel died. To me he was the "Yoda" of the group. The wise one, the calm and collected person, and a great role model to everyone. Of all the characters to die I honestly thought Michonne was going to die by her own sword from Brian aka The Governor. I know she's a fan favorite but due to the fact that she was searching for him earlier this season to get revenge on him and she killed Brian's zombie daughter from last season, you'd think he would kill her. But we did see her stab Brian right through the chest, which was a glorious sight to see. This show needed to pick up the pace and this midseason finale showed it still has guts to take incredible risk.

Watch out Megan!

  Speaking of which; did you see the zombie come out of the muddy ground and bite Megan and then the Governor shooting her in the head or how about Lizzie shooting Alisha right in the face; Daryl putting a grenade in the tank; Carl using the rifle to protect his father; Maggie's will to keep on fighting to remember her father. There was tons of action packed moments throughout this episode. 

  Lets talk about the Rick and Brain's confrontation. We knew from the two episode story arc about Brain, how he was trying to change to become a better person, transforming in a more positive state of mind, so that he wouldn't go back to his bad ways as the Governor. We all knew in the back of our mind that, that really wasn't going to happen. Rick tried to make peace with Brian and his group. He even gave them the opportunity to drop their weapons and come to the other side where they can all "live together". But once you saw Brian's point of view, looking at Rick, and him saying "Liar", you just knew everything was going to go downhill from there.

My Final Thoughts:

  Is Lizzie the real killer in the group? I say this because Carol was the one that taught her and the children to protect themselves earlier this season. So does that mean banishing Carol was a bad idea overall? What happened to Judith, Beth Judy and all the other survivors, are they still alive? Will the group find each other in the next part of season 4? Overall, this midseason finale brought it's A game and I liked it! I hope you enjoyed it too! February cant come fast enough! 

Score: 9.0/10
