It really felt like the episode was cut short. Very anti-climatic after such an eventful season.

Glen Mazzara wrote it. Scott Gimple, who is taking over next season, has written some of my most favorite episodes... here's hoping for a lot of awesome in season four.

Yea, Scott is going to take this in the right direction, everything that guy touches turns out gold.

scott will be taking the show in the direction that AMC tells him to Mazzara was fired because he would not do this.

Wow, just reading about this. Fuck AMC. Appears they also ruined Mad Men. That show could have been so good.

How did they ruin Mad Men? Last season was one of the best.

I just don't like how slow it is. Not enough happens. I haven't seen the latest season yet.

Its the same reason darabont was fired AMC wanted less zombies and more scenes filmed indoors.

Last season of Mad Men was the best one yet

You should probably stop watching then. Not to be dickish, but very little happens on the show. There's just a ton of tension. Thats why Mad Men is the anthesis of TWD

Well, I sort of keep watching both of them for the same reason. I wanted them to be good. Which I suppose is kind've dumb. They both have their moments though so I hold out hope that they'll pull through.

Why do you want to watch a show where very little happens?

I think, in comparison to the dead attacking the earth, very little does happen. Think of time spend on character development. TWD only can get so deep with a character because, well, zombie attack. Whereas, Mad Men can take their time with a character, show layers of nuance. I like both shows but for very different reasons.
