Storyline

The Governor convinces his new community that it is in their best interests to take over the prison and if necessary, use force to do so. Not everyone is comfortable with that approach - Lilly and Meghan stay behind, with tragic consequences. The Governor and his crew appear at the prison and has two bargaining chips with him - Herschel and Michonne are his prisoners. He tells Rick to be out by sundown. Rick for his part tries to reason with him but the die is cast. In the ensuing battle, many - from both sides - are killed.

User Reviews

Last two episodes help this one look AMAZING! Eventful half finale !

i just finished watching this one. The less I talk about it the better, but many things from this episode pulled me to write a review.

Honestly, last two episodes needed so much of fine tuning and editing and not much story telling was there in those. But the last two episodes mis-led the viewers and at a same time the expectations for the upcoming episode will be less.

Well, the intensity and seriousness of TOO FAR GONE are insanely high. They kept my heart hitting my rib cage so hard. There are so many moments of pain, agony, regret and pity. At the end making the viewers feel like they need counselling to get back to the real world.

There is still bright side to this. Waiting for February badly.
