10 Things I found wrong with last nights season finale of Walking Dead. WARNING: SPOILERS!

10.  Why would you be dumb enough to corner yourself in a jail when you are in battle with the people who know the ins and outs of said jail?

9.  Ugh, do we really need to make Carl any more unlikeable by making him rebellious?  He's a child on a TV show, he's already got a lot going against him. 

8.  Um, that guy is going to die and turn into a zombie in like 2 minutes.  Do you really think it's wise to sit there and have a conversation with him instead of trying to free yourself? 

7.  Speaking of, when that guy died and turned into a zombie why didn't Andrea just kick him back?  Her legs were free.  Then take the pair of pliers and stab him in the head with her one free hand.  I don't know, I just didn't buy that she got bit.  Sorry.

6.  Why did that group of people all turn around and run from the governor instead of using their guns to counter attack?  The show is making the governor invincible.  He's not.

5.  Can the governor really see well enough to nail a first shot to a guys head?  He has one eye.  No peripheral vision.  Again, he's not invincible.  He's not a super hero.  He's just a jerk. 

4.  Wow, that battle scene was just...wow.  LAME!  Anticlimactic!  I was like, wait, it's over?

3.  Can you possibly make Michonne any lamer?  She's supposed to be awesome, but she has about 4 lines an episode and no epic fighting scenes with anyone. 

2.  They brought back people from Woodbury?  Did they interrogate these people?  Weren't these the same people who weeks prior were having primitive fighting ceremonies in their town square where people fought to the death and/or were fed to zombies?  There is just something inconsistent about the way the people of Woodbury think vs. they way they act. 

1.  The Governor lived!  This is what I like to call pulling a Damien Lewis.  You know you need to off a character but the writers/producers/whoevers don't because the character/actor is popular.  So they sacrifice the integrity of the storytelling just to keep someone around.  It's always a brutal mistake.  The season was leading up to a showdown between the Governor and Rick (or whoever) and that didn't happen.  The season built up to a battle which turned out to be LAME-O.  It was just all around a let down of a finale and a season as a whole.  Here's hoping season 4 improves. 

One final note: The Game of Thrones premiere was awesome.
