What a mid season finale.

(Herschel and Michonne are his prisoners) He tells Rick to be out by sundown. Rick tries to reason with him, but The Governor is unwilling to listen. In the ensuing battle, their are casualties on both sides.
I'm gutted about a major characters death, they will be missed,The entire end credits, plus various production company logo animations, are played in utter silence is very fitting.
I'm also still upset about the Carol situation, hopefully she will come back, and be reunited with her pal Daryl. If it were not for the two episodes about The Governor, Thai would have been a flawless first half to the season.
