Ugh, what a letdown. How do you let literally the THREE WORST PEOPLE in Woodbury get away scot free? You couldn't at least have killed that big black dude? Where is the justice?

Seriously, that was a really non-satisfying season finale. The have completely gone off the rails as far as the comic goes. Rogue governor on the run? Still in the prison? What? Why?

Just kill that SOB already. I can't sit through another season of his repugnancy. I'm glad you guys like the actor and all but everyone liked Andrea and Dale too and it didn't stop you from killing them.

Agree that was like the worst strategic plan EVER going into the prison. I was shocked Rick and co were even still there. And did they hit ANYBODY?

I'm glad Allen got capped and I'm glad that woman lived, but yeah, why go back to the prison? And what about the rest of the Woodbury peeps? All they took was the elderly and infirm?

I probably would have felt a lot worse losing Andrea in Season 1 or early Season 2. But all her terrible decisions make it hard to care as much at this point. I almost felt worse about poor Milton. Maybe she should have felt a little more sense of urgency than to stop and have a chit chat with him every five minutes. Not sure how a pair of pliers gets you out of handcuffs either, but I'm not even going there.   

Carl, right or not, is back to being a snotty little punk. Rick should have slapped him right in his sassy face for all that backtalk. But yeah, he kind of had a point. I think it would have been a much more convincing argument if he had explained that when they told that stupid kid to drop his gun he said "Take it." Dumbass. What part of "Drop your gun" do you not understand? Drop it already! Don't offer to hand it to them! That just makes it look like you're trying to be shady. I'd have shot him too, just for being too moronic to follow simple directions.

You gotta kill those last 3 guys early next season. It will be hard to truly enjoy the show again until they tie up that loose thread.

According to the SWAN Facebook page, the first wave of 6" figures has been sighted at WalMart in Idaho.  The price is $19.97

And just like that, I'm officially out.

Yesterday over lunch I scored Darth Malgus, the INC, and TCW Captain Rex @ TRU for $5 each. Bazinga.

27 deaths in this week's season finale?   :o

Give me Rick, Daryl, and Glenn, and anyone else can go. Although I'd like to see them keep Maggie just so we don't have to endure more Glenn-struggles-to-adjust stuff.

God, when Phillip gets it I am totally doing my best Tom Cruise couch-dance...

LMK if you find any cheap jetpack troopers Pete, I would like 1 for openers myself if the price is right.

I picked up the original TCW Dropship Class I set today at Marshall's for $10. I was pretty suprised to see that because A) it seemed like SW stuff has been drying up at discount retailers lately and B) I never heard of this particular set being found anyplace like that before. So I was glad to pick that up on the cheap.

Perfection!

Zero complaints about last night, completely excellent from start to finish. All I can say is I'm more disappointed to have lost Merle than any other character so far. He was by far one of the most interesting characters remaining IMO. That last scene with Daryl was freaking epic. The whole episode really highlighted all the strengths of this show, the acting, the writing, and most especially the interaction between the characters. (Glenn/Maggie, Glenn/Hershel, Merle/Rick, Merle/Daryl, Merle/Michonne, etc)

Think Rick has a little bridge-building to do with Michonne now, kinda going to be a little awkward at first, but from her conversation with Merle she seemed to understand he would not have gone through with it either. So hopefully they will be good going forward.

So who was that kid Ben that took the bullet for Phillip? Was he the son of the whiny doosh that was beefing with Tyreese? Or was he the sickly kid with Asthma that Andrea was trying to exempt from the Woodbury militia? I don't have a good recall for the more minor characters...

Loved Merle rocking out to Motorhead, that was a nice touch.

I'm hoping we spend tonight's episode just in the prison, and are not forced to endure a one hour gore-soaked torture session like something out of Saw or Hostel. I'm really not up for that, as much as I find Andrea's character tiresome.

Anyone watch "Bates Motel"? I thought it was really good. The actors playing Norman and Norma really had the characters down well. Excited for episode two.

I was debating it, but felt like I would only commit if it was 100% faithful to the original movie. I could have sworn I saw a scene showing the kid with a walkman on though, which would place this out of the 50's when he actually would have been growing up based on the Hitchcock timeline.

Maybe I'm wrong, but this strikes me now as more of a re-imagining type of thing, which might be well done but not what I was hoping for.

Edit: Pulled the trigger on one each of the 501st Trooper, R2-D2 and Battledroid figures via a Canadian seller on Amazon - at least now I'll have one of each of those open. I'm okay with not having one of each of Savage, Maul and Cody to open since I'm pretty sure those three are straight-up re-releases.

Cody is actually a little different. The paint apps have been tweaked from the original release. It's not terribly noticeable, but it's different. If you hold the two up side to side it becomes more apparent.

Well, I got my package from the UK today and surprise, surprise, the seller sent me the wrong $#%^ Boss. I got the regular old white backpack version.  >:(

I contacted the seller but am probably going to have to file some kind of claim because I fully expect he will ask me to foot the bill for the return postage which is completely asinine given the fact that the screw-up is all their fault.

This sucks!

Dr Manhattan arrived today...not quite as thrilling as Rorschach, but a quality effort nonetheless. No accessories or anything like that, though to be fair there really aren't any that would make sense for the character.

Looking forward to Silk Spectre in May!

That's pretty much the idea that got Darabont fired.

Sounds to me like he got fired because the AMC suits were a bunch of cheap aholes.

That's an interesting piece though, I forgot Starkiller was the walker in the tank. And I now understand why all those WD actors were in The Mist, because that was a Darabont thing too.

Still think it's a good idea.

I think Continuum is decent and enjoy SyFy's Being Human for what it is (if all three characters get reset to their original conditions, I'm going to be annoyed...only one left that hasn't.) I don't watch any of the (old) Big Three's shows. Not sure why...maybe because they are cancel happy. I watched the mediocre THE CAPE and the better THE RIVER last year and both got the axe.

LOL, ditto here. I watched both of those too, but I can't say I miss them.

I had to drop the Following after 4-5 episodes too because it literally just made me angry every time I watched it. The FBI just come off like a bunch of clueless jackasses and I got sick of watching the creepy-loser-of-the-week keep punking them like they were some kind of criminal mastermind. But I digress.

I almost hate to say this because it has become somewhat of a cliched plot device, but at some point soon, maybe next season, I kinda think it would be cool to do a WD flashback episode showing what each of the main characters experienced during the pivotal day(s) when everything fell apart. Laurie, Merle, Daryll, even Phillip and Milton could be interesting.

Got Clutch next week and bought Zakk tickets this morning.

Nice, I hope Clutch plays some of the cool old stuff like "Rats" or "Juggernaut".

Found Malgus and the INC at Target this morning, fresh case on the pegs. Forgot to check if they were still ringing up at the clearance price. Dammit.
