He was such a piece of shit that he didn't deserve to die by Michonnes sword. So he just left him there to suffer and hopefully get eaten alive or turn. We never saw any of those as he got shot in the end. What a shame.
lX Reddin Xl only some versions show it I never saw it on the cable or Netflix versions where I live in the US. They only show the governors drained pale dead face for a few seconds then that’s it
Herschel smiled during Ricks speech because he said essentially the same thing to Rick in episode 1 of this season. When Rick was telling Herschel about Ciara, the lady in the woods, Herschel said " you tried to help her, she was too far gone, you're not". And something like, "you came back, you get to come back, we all do", or something along those lines. As always, another fantastic reaction! Your facial expressions alone were priceless and ran the gamut from fear and sadness to rage and loathing.....you weren't alone....feel better and always remember spaghetti Tuesdays!
Well no, because they shouldn't have been there, they should've been on the bus. Teaching the kids to defend themselves is fine, but I wouldn't say it was 'good' in this instance. However, only putting the weak (children/elderly) and sick on the bus was a bad move too, there should've been at least 1 adult in good health that knew how to kill walkers on the bus.
@@mtq2527 yes I know, everyone on the bus was sick, a child, elderly or infirm. No one on the bus was actually capable of defending themselves, that was the point I was making.
Back when this episode aired, (before i actually watched the show) you couldn't go anywhere without people talking about this episode. I just remember this episode having such a huge impact on people. I was in 6th/7th grade at the time, (now graduated, oh how time flies) and i just remember hearing for an entire week about how Hershel was dead. I had no clue what the show was but thats what made me want to watch it.
Mattel love oof. I was a junior in high school but no one in my classes watched the show. I still remember the night this aired b/c I watch this show w/ my dad and when the Gov looked at Rick and the music started playing. I was like he’s not gonna do it and then I was like he is and I kept flip flopping it and my dad was like yeah he’s gonna do it. Hershel needs to be the one to die to get the shooting started and then when Gov went for the throat slash my jaw literally dropped. I was a gov fan and was hoping that he’d become good but once he slit Hershel’s throat. I wanted him to die slow and painfully since there was no coming back from killing Hershel.
@@pyr1412 Oh man maybe it was just where i lived that a lot more people watched it, i just remember groups of people talking about it and even some teachers lmao. and i agree, BUT i also knew there was no Gov turning good back in season 3, like they gave him so many chances to just stop being an asshole and trying to kill them all and he just didn't care, he was definitely not gonna change.
the prison is too far gone... all the remaining survivors are roaming in the woods .. what will happen next? i remember the exciting time we watch it in our living room ,the whole family crying over the death of our beloved Hershel who sadly the actor died too RIP Scott Wilson Oct 6 2018 in his battle with leukemia.
@@amyfender1 let me know if you can't find it and I'll locate it. He's said it in a few interviews. I'm a tad obsessed with this show lol. I've heard and recorded pretty much every interview on this show. I have every episode on cd audio. My cd player in car went out. So now I play Netflix while I drive. Started at first episode last week. Currently on episode where Hershel saves everyone :) I won a contest to see the premiere for episode 8. So the wife and I flew to LA. Got to see it and talking dead afterwards. Have a picture video on my TH-cam. Have 10 different shirts and other memorabilia. I have read the graphic novels about 15 times through now(the compendiums). I know I could win any TWD trivia contest show or comic. I have all the novels as well about The Governor. Excellent reads! Love this universe! :) I The novels are based on The Governor in the comic not the show. Brian and Phillip are both real people not just a made up New name. I'll leave it at that for anyone interested in reading the novels :)
Rick's speech while Hershel is smiling at him because he's so proud of Rick. Breaks my heart. 😭 And than that goddamn violin playing in the background. It just hurts my soul. (Bear McCreary doesn't get enough credit for the shattering music in this scene) At least he was smiling in his last moment because he knew that Rick understood his words. But still...still the one that hurts the most. 😭😭I love Hershel
Bear McCreary doesn't get enough credit in general. His God of War soundtrack is absolutely awh inspiring as well. If you haven't heard it - even without playing the game - I'd HIGHLY recommend it.
Let's all lift a parting glass for Hershel, the Dad of the TWD universe. He was wise, strong, brave, selfless, and full of hope, even in the darkest moments. RIP Hershel Green.
This hit me harder this time then the night it aired. Scott Wilson done such a great job playing Hershel. He will always be remembered as Hershel Greene 😭😭😭
David Morrissey who plays the governor said in an interview that when he is punching Rick's face He is really punching his own face and the world for what it's done to him. Rick is the embodiment of every obstacle in Philip's life so here at the end he just wants to destroy him .
This is another one of those tentpole moments that I love watching people experience for the first time. I’ll tell you, the pride in Hershel’s eyes as he’s looking at Rick trying in vain to use reason breaks my heart every time. And that Michonne is kneeling right next to him and can’t do shit to stop it.
Literally one of the best episodes of the series still to this day. Carl & Rick’s performance at the end of the episode when they realize Judith was eaten right out of her car seat STILL give me chills to this day. I’m so excited for you 2 to continue this show! I feel so bad for everyone but Carl especially because he tried warning rick about the gov & told daryl he had a shot & they just lost everything. Within a couple months he lost his “uncle” Shane had to put the walker one down after rick killed him, lost his mom & had to put her down, & now lost the prison & nearly everyone there 😭
My favorite scene by Chandler Riggs in the whole series. Did you know that Chandler was only in the shots with his face showing? All the other scenes with him walking with rick in the distance were his stunt double. Chandler was in school when this episode was filmed so he didn't have as much time for shooting the episode
R.I.P. to Hershel, great character who brought so much, love his theme song, R.I.P. to the actor Scott Wilson who played this character and who sadly passed away a year ago, R.I.P. to the Governor as well who was a great villain and did a great job at making us hate him, great work by David Morrissey portraying this character, would love to see him giving you guys a shoutout that would be something :)
@@Nevi234 she did kill him. did you not see her stab him through the heart? it was pretty clear on screen. it's game over for him regardless. it was a fatal wound and the place was surrounded by walkers, so what do you mean?
she left him because he doesn't deserve to die and rest peacefully he deserves to walk the earth as the nothing he is. oh Lacey I just wanted to give you a hug, and Steve you look so genuinely pissed, that's what I love about this show it brings that out.
This was THE most heartbreaking EVER in the show.....thanks Scott Wilson for your portrayal of Herschel... Rest in Peace, my friend and I will see on the other side!
There’s an interesting backstory to that climactic scene with the Governor killing Hershel. The new showrunner Scott Gimple wanted David Morrissey, who played The Governor, to yell the word “LIAR!!” and then cut off Hershel’s head. But Morrissey felt it would be more chilling if he were to whisper “Liar” instead. Scott Wilson, who played Hershel, agreed with Morrissey. Gimple and Morrissey got into a very heated argument, a screaming match no less, right during the filming of that scene, but in the end Morrissey got his way and his whisper 🤫 Morrissey was right too. The whisper was much more effective. To this day whenever I watch that scene and see The Governor appear to consider Rick’s words and then quietly whisper “Liar” I get goosebumps.
I've seen people complain that Rick got his ass beat by the governor but it makes sense .Rick was shot in the leg which really reduces his ability to fight hand-to-hand. Plus the governor is in pure rage so he fights more ferociously.
Plus Rick was in shock, from the attack, from Hershel being killed, and a week of running himself ragged caring for the sick and fighting to jeep the fences up. If you consider everything, it makes sense.
There's also the fact that the governor's a psychopath - and psychopaths don't hold back when they decided to take someone out. Even a hardcore fighter who's psychologically sound might have some second thoughts or is emotionally/mentally vulnerable in some ways.
@@sallyatticum I thought of one more thing too. Rick's been a farmer for a while and he's been living a more peaceful life since Woodbury. He might have gone rusty while the governor's been living it rough and fighting for his life, which breeds a hardened fighter.
I've become desensitized to alot throughout this series but some of these character deaths get me every single time, and this is definitely one of them. I'm crying with you! Hershel was such an amazing character. While everyone around him was changing, including his own daughters, he wanted to hold on to what humanity was, and do the right thing. So hopeful, wise and optimistic. I could go on and on with positive adjectives describing this man. RIP Hershel AND Scott Wilson. You touched all of our hearts.
No it doesn't. There is a breech lock that prevents any objects or the blast traveling into the tank. How do you think it fires rounds that have 500 times the explosive power of a grenade without the blast entering the tank.
@@jcarlovitch well I've seen footage of battles in Syria and other places where someone threw a grenade down the tanks barrel and it exploded exactly like that. The tank burst and Fire coming out the top hatch and out of the barrel.
You guys didn't disappoint with this reaction. Losing Hershel was heartwrenching. I bawled like a baby. An hour after the episode ended, I was still dabbing my eyes. The fandom of TWD is unique. You go on an emotional roller coaster with these characters. And when you lose one? Its a gut punch. RIP Scott Wilson aka Hershel.
One of the most emotional episodes. I was sobbing when I saw Hershel. Such a brutal death for an amazing soulful character. Actor has passed away which makes it more emotional for me. I'm right there with you guys, this was an emotionally exhausting episode.
Oh Hershel's death _devestated_ me when I saw it. My niece and I literally _screamed_ when it happened. Hershel was such an amazing character, one of my absolute favorites. He didn't deserve that. R.I.P to Scott Wilson who played Hershel as well. Fantastic actor.
*I think the prision is the best option to live in the apocalypse as they were surrounded by walls and fences, there is a small infirmary inside, an industrial kitchen, lots of showers, and also, the most important: people could sleep inside the cells with the doors closed, so that if someone turns into a walker overnight nobody would get bitten. Anyway, sooooo sad to see Hershel dying this way - I was hoping he would be always there!*
I agree that the prison is a great place. Once inside there are still many more boundaries of walls that you can put between you and people /walkers. But one thing I always wondered is why didn't any one decide to live in the trees as in tree houses and up in the air tree forts etc. It would definitely keep walkers away but I guess not so much other humans who want to hurt you. Plus I guess you'd still have to fence off/wall off your areas. Even so I always felt like at least when they were on the road that they should be sleeping high up in the trees lol
This episode is definitely one of the most-epic ones in the entire series. It's always sad to see the gang lose a home and get split-up again. While it was sad to see Herschel get killed, it always leaves me in tears when Carl breaks down at the end. Chandler did such a good job showing Carl's pain and anguish in that moment. You get a feeling some of that was grief over losing his Mom too.
Did yall see that female walker... she was the one Rick found in the woods with her husband's head...lol I think tht was her...as always thanks for another great reaction for someone on the way to work lol...everyone stay safe and blessed much love from San Antonio
Dammit, this episode still gets me to this day because of Scott Wilson aka Hershel. He already passed away in real life and watching him on one of his last performances always gets me good. He was a good man and a good actor on this show. Everybody loved him. RIP Scott Wilson.
I felt like Andrew Lincoln was really about to get choked out there, like his face was REALLY purple. What an amazing actor, honestly the whole cast is amazing. I'm really enjoying watching the show with you guys, I know I'm late but I started watching you guys when y'all started watching The 100 and now I'm a fan and I even do a little reacting myself. Partially inspired by you guys!! Hopefully I can catch up with y'all on this one when part 3 of s11 comes out in the fall. ✌️💜
What makes this episode effective is that Rick was told in the beginning of the series about how we can't come back from what we have done. And he does try to forgive the Governor and tries to make peace. But the moment when The Governor kills Hershel, there is no going back. It was The Governor's last chance to turn everything around. But after that, he is so far gone, he finishes Megan with no remorse and just wants to hurt anyone he can which both destroys the prison and and everyone in his camp.
You can see the governor was really considering Rick offer he really wanted to accept his offer and was actually very close into accepting but then he remembers "that Rick guy because of him I lost Woodbury, Andrea and my daughter, I lost everything" you can see his hands were shaking and hesitating before the kill.
This episode was very painful, the scene of Hershel trying to crawl away to die away from the gunfiight is heartbreaking. The Gov is dead though at least..but sadly he killed 2 of my faves, Andrea and Hershel.
No Merle? That was such a HEARTBREAKING fight. Merle was one of my favorites in the early seasons. Man, I imagine if Merle was still alive in later seasons, he'd be Negan's right hand man and they'd be besties. Their personalities would match so well. Merle is such an underrated character.
Angel Colores , I didn't realize that it's the 1 year mark of Scott Wilson's death. I wonder if they put the premiere on that date on purpose. I hope they have a memorial of some sort
The Irish girl in the woods that Rick found a few episodes ago was one of the walkers as the prison fell. Little Easter egg. This was without a doubt, ONE of the most intense episodes. Buckle up going forward. It's really great.
Aren’t you depressed?! This show, either lifts you up, or knots the hell out of you down! I guess that means it’s a great show! I cry all the time, or I’m happy as can be for them, like they are family; but their not, well they are good actors❣️😭
@@CGCentralHD I think your breakdown is pretty accurate. In my mind I've always split it into two parts. Season 1 through 4a and then 4b and everything afterward. I like your four chapters better now that I think about it.
I think Michonne not "finishing" him off is kinda a callback to her conversation with Tyrese. She told him that she was searching for him because it needed to be done and not because she was angry. At the time, I think it was a lie. Her killing him like the way she did, leaving him to die instead of cutting his ass up like we all wanted to was her way of moving on from him. She didn't NEED to because job was done. He was going to die regardless and that was what she wanted. Also, he happens to suffer while he does, well consider that a fateful bonus...
I thought watching Dale die was hard. Hershel dying was so much worse. This is still one of the best episodes of the series. Hated seeing the destruction of the prison in this episode because it was my favorite "home." RIP Hershel RIP prison.
What i really love about this show is even though it's called The Walking Dead, the walkers aren't even the real enemy it's the other humans who are the real villains, this is just getting started! amazing and sad episode, RIP Hershel :(
The Governor only cares about people as far as they can make him feel important and respected in the way he feels he’s owed. He cares about his image of himself, not other people’s lives. He sees himself as a savior and hero, but because he’s only serving himself, he’s the opposite.
I think the Governor feels threatened by Rick because Rick doesn’t try to get people to respect him, it just happens organically. Nobody would actually like or follow The Governor if he was himself.
I've been waiting for this episode. Damn is it a good one but so heartbreaking. I've still not got over the loss of Hershal, so sad. Carl's breakdown at the end is also gut-wrenching. Kudos to all involved on this one, such a great episode and FINALLY the governor is dead. It's only gonna keep on getting better from here.
I’ve been waiting for this reaction, and it didn’t disappoint. When I first saw this episode, my reaction was a mix of both of yours: Sad and angry. I had tears in my eyes just watching you guys watch it. Hershel was my absolute favorite..
the crazy walker lady from the 1st episode (Clara) was the walker we see walking at tbe end.. different actress playing the part though. and they show a walker stomping on the king chess piece.
I loved Hershel. But when he was killed. And by phillip! I just started crying. I had to pause the show. And wait a few to watch the rest. I was kinda shocked how bad it effected me. He was such a fabulous character. So kind. So wise. And since this, the actor has passed away. May he rest in peace.
tama yeager gibson moral compasses don’t last long in this show Dale was the first and now Hershel and there’s still more ppl that’ll die later that’ll shock them.
I've seen this episode countless times and yet I still cry every time, especially seeing you guys' reaction to this. End of an incredible chapter of storytelling in the show though with more to come -- I'm interested to know how you think this will impact everyone, especially Rick, Carl, Michonne, Beth, Maggie, Darryl, etc.
Wow another great reaction. Having watched this for the first time years ago watching it again with your reaction makes me relive it again. You guys are in for quite a ride with this show and I love every minute of it.
Steve: "We're gonna' dive into this and we'll dissect it at the end... If we're emotionally ready." Me: Okay, there will NOT be a dissection at the end of this episode. And Steve? It's okay to cry, buddy. We've all been there. I will see you cry before this is over. And I know just the scene that's going to do it. Miss you, Hershel.
I remember crying, literally bawling my eyes out over this episode. Things weren’t going to be the same, I knew that-Rick wanted to believe in what he said, that you can back from things but sometimes you can’t. The upcoming episodes and season will change everyone, you know that from the very last scene and the only joy comes from the actors performances.
It ended at the right time, I agree - that was an intense episode! Thanks for your reaction and discussions, always very thoughtful! It's always so stressful when the gang gets separated too!
One of the few good things to come out of this episode is the possible potential the groups allow for several characters who haven't interacted much to form relationships.
I just started the Walking Dead a few weeks ago and honestly, I haven't had such an intense reaction to an episode like this since Ozymandias from Breaking Bad
That was a brutal episode. I just started watching The Walking Dead 1 1/2 years ago, so like you guys, we are able to watch these episodes one right after another. Imagine how crappy it would have been to wait the weeks and months between the finales and premieres?!
It was horrible waiting lol but the theories and speculation for what was coming was always fun....that is until the spoiling dead fans came into the picture. Now you cant get on social media without seeing a spoiler to the latest episode.
Comic Comparisons : in the comics It’s Tyreese who gets decapitated his comic counterpart is actually introduced much earlier than in the show before they get to the farm the battle for the prison goes down a bit different The Governor is presumed dead for a while before he randomly shows up at the prison gates It should be noted that the Governor never kills all of his people or burns down Woodbury so he still had an army with him him becoming Brian Heriot is completely unique to the show I can’t remember exactly but I think their first attack failed Nonetheless they eventually bust through and kill a lot of people Hershel does die in this battle in the comics but not in the same way He begs to be killed after his son is shot right in front of him and the Governor grants him that Rick tries to escape with Lori and Judith but Lori who is carrying Judith is shot and falls to the ground killing both her and the baby after the Governor successfully wins the prison Lily who was already a member of Woodbury and dealt the killing shot on Lori realizes she also killed a baby and gets mad at the Governor when the Governor shows no remorse she shoots him dead in the head after that nothing more is said about the Woodbury group.
Told yall it was gon be nuts... This episode held Alotttt of cool pieces straight from the comic pages .. And i love that shit when they nail those moments
The end of the prison, and Hershal, was devastating to fans, and you're reaction was the same as ours. We had to wait a few months before the next half to get answers, and at least you'll have yours in a few days of watching. Season 4 was one of my favorite seasons, and I still miss the prison, and Hershal.
Michonne left the Governor basically to suffer until he either died, or was eaten by walkers. He wasn't surviving that wound.
He was such a piece of shit that he didn't deserve to die by Michonnes sword. So he just left him there to suffer and hopefully get eaten alive or turn. We never saw any of those as he got shot in the end. What a shame.
@@LaredoIsntSoBad Walkers probably ate the body
True. She left him on purpose to suffer.
in the opening to episode 9 they show his body, its ripped apart
lX Reddin Xl only some versions show it I never saw it on the cable or Netflix versions where I live in the US. They only show the governors drained pale dead face for a few seconds then that’s it
When Carl was crying about his sister that got too me especially after Hershel
Me too. I even got teary eyed w it on this episode. Such a sad episode. I was in total shock w Hershel.
Me too best acting on the show since Rick finding out about Lori's death.
Connor Larkin me too, and people claiming he can’t act are another kind of ignorant
spoilers
even after knowing judith is alive now, this still makes me tear up
@@FreshZCORD In the comics, it’s a lot different. Especially for the governor’s fate and judith’s fate and lori’s fate.

Morrissey was right too. The whisper was much more effective. To this day whenever I watch that scene and see The Governor appear to consider Rick’s words and then quietly whisper “Liar” I get goosebumps.
I've seen people complain that Rick got his ass beat by the governor but it makes sense .Rick was shot in the leg which really reduces his ability to fight hand-to-hand. Plus the governor is in pure rage so he fights more ferociously.
Plus Rick was in shock, from the attack, from Hershel being killed, and a week of running himself ragged caring for the sick and fighting to jeep the fences up. If you consider everything, it makes sense.
movieman175 also his hand was broken from beating the shit out of Tyreese.
There's also the fact that the governor's a psychopath - and psychopaths don't hold back when they decided to take someone out. Even a hardcore fighter who's psychologically sound might have some second thoughts or is emotionally/mentally vulnerable in some ways.
Also, the Governor has 4 inches and however many pounds on Rick.
@@sallyatticum I thought of one more thing too. Rick's been a farmer for a while and he's been living a more peaceful life since Woodbury. He might have gone rusty while the governor's been living it rough and fighting for his life, which breeds a hardened fighter.
I've become desensitized to alot throughout this series but some of these character deaths get me every single time, and this is definitely one of them. I'm crying with you! Hershel was such an amazing character. While everyone around him was changing, including his own daughters, he wanted to hold on to what humanity was, and do the right thing. So hopeful, wise and optimistic. I could go on and on with positive adjectives describing this man. RIP Hershel AND Scott Wilson. You touched all of our hearts.
VERY well said. ♡♡♡
The old grenade down the tanks Barrel trick actually works. I've seen footage of it. Very effective.
No it doesn't. There is a breech lock that prevents any objects or the blast traveling into the tank. How do you think it fires rounds that have 500 times the explosive power of a grenade without the blast entering the tank.
@@jcarlovitch well I've seen footage of battles in Syria and other places where someone threw a grenade down the tanks barrel and it exploded exactly like that. The tank burst and Fire coming out the top hatch and out of the barrel.
movieman175 to gullible
One of the most nail biting intense episodes of the season
Each time I see this episode, my heart hurts. I was so sad that Hershal was killed. Rick was so desperate to make a deal. Great performance.
When ppl say TWD is a stupid show about zombies...really 😐
@@CraigKostelecky Damnit! You keep making me laugh! And this is supposed to be a somber moment. Lol ♡♡
It gets like that later. Just like Game of Thrones.
kissedbyfire I disagree
locomojoboy2 it didn’t get stupid
locomojoboy2 I completely disagree. I haven’t felt that way in the slightest bit.
You guys didn't disappoint with this reaction. Losing Hershel was heartwrenching. I bawled like a baby. An hour after the episode ended, I was still dabbing my eyes. The fandom of TWD is unique. You go on an emotional roller coaster with these characters. And when you lose one? Its a gut punch. RIP Scott Wilson aka Hershel.
Daryls grunt before he opens fire, Maggie's face as she screams and shoots.. gets me evertime. Herschel was the daddy of the group, solid and wise.
One of the most emotional episodes. I was sobbing when I saw Hershel. Such a brutal death for an amazing soulful character. Actor has passed away which makes it more emotional for me. I'm right there with you guys, this was an emotionally exhausting episode.
Oh Hershel's death _devestated_ me when I saw it. My niece and I literally _screamed_ when it happened. Hershel was such an amazing character, one of my absolute favorites. He didn't deserve that.
R.I.P to Scott Wilson who played Hershel as well. Fantastic actor.
*I think the prision is the best option to live in the apocalypse as they were surrounded by walls and fences, there is a small infirmary inside, an industrial kitchen, lots of showers, and also, the most important: people could sleep inside the cells with the doors closed, so that if someone turns into a walker overnight nobody would get bitten. Anyway, sooooo sad to see Hershel dying this way - I was hoping he would be always there!*
@Feanor But how do you know who you can trust? :( Those people thought the Governor was a good person and look what happened...
I agree that the prison is a great place. Once inside there are still many more boundaries of walls that you can put between you and people /walkers. But one thing I always wondered is why didn't any one decide to live in the trees as in tree houses and up in the air tree forts etc. It would definitely keep walkers away but I guess not so much other humans who want to hurt you. Plus I guess you'd still have to fence off/wall off your areas. Even so I always felt like at least when they were on the road that they should be sleeping high up in the trees lol
@Feanor The first thing that I would do in an apocalypse is make Feanor the leader of my group!! lol, fr.
This episode is definitely one of the most-epic ones in the entire series. It's always sad to see the gang lose a home and get split-up again. While it was sad to see Herschel get killed, it always leaves me in tears when Carl breaks down at the end. Chandler did such a good job showing Carl's pain and anguish in that moment. You get a feeling some of that was grief over losing his Mom too.
Did yall see that female walker... she was the one Rick found in the woods with her husband's head...lol I think tht was her...as always thanks for another great reaction for someone on the way to work lol...everyone stay safe and blessed much love from San Antonio
Carl breaking down realizing his sister is dead always gets me bad....no matter how many times I've watched it.
Dammit, this episode still gets me to this day because of Scott Wilson aka Hershel. He already passed away in real life and watching him on one of his last performances always gets me good. He was a good man and a good actor on this show. Everybody loved him. RIP Scott Wilson.
RIP Mr. Wilson, Love you😘
I felt like Andrew Lincoln was really about to get choked out there, like his face was REALLY purple. What an amazing actor, honestly the whole cast is amazing. I'm really enjoying watching the show with you guys, I know I'm late but I started watching you guys when y'all started watching The 100 and now I'm a fan and I even do a little reacting myself. Partially inspired by you guys!! Hopefully I can catch up with y'all on this one when part 3 of s11 comes out in the fall. ✌️💜
This episode still brings a tear to my eye after all these years smh Hershel was a great man.
What makes this episode effective is that Rick was told in the beginning of the series about how we can't come back from what we have done. And he does try to forgive the Governor and tries to make peace. But the moment when The Governor kills Hershel, there is no going back. It was The Governor's last chance to turn everything around. But after that, he is so far gone, he finishes Megan with no remorse and just wants to hurt anyone he can which both destroys the prison and and everyone in his camp.
@Feanor Yes. But he wasn't gonna wait for her to turn like Penny.
This episode and "Pretty Much Dead Already" from season 2 are the best mid-season finales of the whole series imo.
You are now about to enter one of my favourite periods of the show. The post prison stuff is amazing!
You can see the governor was really considering Rick offer he really wanted to accept his offer and was actually very close into accepting but then he remembers "that Rick guy because of him I lost Woodbury, Andrea and my daughter, I lost everything" you can see his hands were shaking and hesitating before the kill.
I've seen u guys show emotion in the past,but this is by far the most,especially Steve,wow! GREAT reaction guys!!!
R.I.P. Hershel 😞😟😧
This episode was very painful, the scene of Hershel trying to crawl away to die away from the gunfiight is heartbreaking. The Gov is dead though at least..but sadly he killed 2 of my faves, Andrea and Hershel.
No Merle? That was such a HEARTBREAKING fight. Merle was one of my favorites in the early seasons. Man, I imagine if Merle was still alive in later seasons, he'd be Negan's right hand man and they'd be besties. Their personalities would match so well. Merle is such an underrated character.
One of the best episodes of the series, also one of the saddest, I cry every time I watch it. RIP Hershel.
Rick Speech was of the best in TV history. Andrew Lincoln is up there with coolest character's on tv too Imo
Too far gone is one of the best episodes, it's a top 5 episode for sure.
Chandler Riggs (carl) is such an incredible actor!!!! i instantly bawl like a baby when he cries on screen
3:16
LACEY: THIS GUY IS PSYCHO
Me : Not anymore😁
Saw michonne leaving as she wants him to have a slow painful lonely death can be the easy way out
This episode was so hard for me. I still cry when I watch it. Losing Hershel was sooooooo hard.. great reaction!! See you tomorrow!! 💜💜
Even harder now since the passing of Scott Wilson 😭
Yup..me too. For Hershel but more for the man Scott Wilson. RIP.
lynn cantrell so true. The season 10 starts on the one year anniversary of his death 💔💔💔 so sad. I miss him.
Angel Colores , I didn't realize that it's the 1 year mark of Scott Wilson's death. I wonder if they put the premiere on that date on purpose. I hope they have a memorial of some sort
lynn cantrell I was wondering the same thing.
The Irish girl in the woods that Rick found a few episodes ago was one of the walkers as the prison fell. Little Easter egg. This was without a doubt, ONE of the most intense episodes. Buckle up going forward. It's really great.
Sleep well in forever peace Hershel Greene. Your messages and memory will always be with us😭😭.................................................🧟♀️
Aren’t you depressed?! This show, either lifts you up, or knots the hell out of you down! I guess that means it’s a great show! I cry all the time, or I’m happy as can be for them, like they are family; but their not, well they are good actors❣️😭
And that starts what i consider Chapter 3 of TWD.
RIP Herschel.. It never pays to be the Moral Compass in this world.
Chapter 1:
Season 1,2,3,4a
Chapter 2:
Season 4b,5,6a
Chapter 3:
6b,7,8
Chapter 4: 9,10
@@CGCentralHD I think your breakdown is pretty accurate. In my mind I've always split it into two parts. Season 1 through 4a and then 4b and everything afterward. I like your four chapters better now that I think about it.
O
Fun fact, I know I’m late but the walker that it zooms up on at the ending is the woman who killed herself at the first episode this season
I propose a new rule for our apocalypse group. If you get on the bus... STAY ON THE DOGONE BUS!!
Lol
😂
I was shocked when I watched this episode but with twd, there will always be more tears!
I think Michonne not "finishing" him off is kinda a callback to her conversation with Tyrese. She told him that she was searching for him because it needed to be done and not because she was angry. At the time, I think it was a lie. Her killing him like the way she did, leaving him to die instead of cutting his ass up like we all wanted to was her way of moving on from him. She didn't NEED to because job was done. He was going to die regardless and that was what she wanted. Also, he happens to suffer while he does, well consider that a fateful bonus...
I agree Ashlee! Tell me you're going to react to season 10? Ya??
@@Carrietbean I'm very happy to say I will 😊...
@@AshLee92490 good to hear! Getting pretty pumped for TWD return!
I thought watching Dale die was hard. Hershel dying was so much worse. This is still one of the best episodes of the series. Hated seeing the destruction of the prison in this episode because it was my favorite "home." RIP Hershel RIP prison.
What i really love about this show is even though it's called The Walking Dead, the walkers aren't even the real enemy it's the other humans who are the real villains, this is just getting started! amazing and sad episode, RIP Hershel :(
I loved the Governor. Im probably one of the only people who didn't want to see him go. Although killing Hershel upset me.
oh man ,that was a rough one ,i can't rewatch it without crying
The Governor only cares about people as far as they can make him feel important and respected in the way he feels he’s owed. He cares about his image of himself, not other people’s lives. He sees himself as a savior and hero, but because he’s only serving himself, he’s the opposite.
I think the Governor feels threatened by Rick because Rick doesn’t try to get people to respect him, it just happens organically. Nobody would actually like or follow The Governor if he was himself.
the governor: we got a tank
Rick: we got a Daryl
I cried when Hershel got killed and when Carl cried 🤧🤧
I've been waiting for this episode. Damn is it a good one but so heartbreaking. I've still not got over the loss of Hershal, so sad. Carl's breakdown at the end is also gut-wrenching. Kudos to all involved on this one, such a great episode and FINALLY the governor is dead. It's only gonna keep on getting better from here.
I will admit they episode made me cry....that acting is amazing
I’ve been waiting for this reaction, and it didn’t disappoint. When I first saw this episode, my reaction was a mix of both of yours: Sad and angry. I had tears in my eyes just watching you guys watch it. Hershel was my absolute favorite..
Herschel‘s death was particularly hard but I like the fact that in some small way Herschel showed a little pride in Rick at the end
the crazy walker lady from the 1st episode (Clara) was the walker we see walking at tbe end.. different actress playing the part though. and they show a walker stomping on the king chess piece.
😔 this was one of the hardest episodes ever!!😩
6:38 is priceless LMAO
I loved Hershel. But when he was killed. And by phillip! I just started crying. I had to pause the show. And wait a few to watch the rest. I was kinda shocked how bad it effected me. He was such a fabulous character. So kind. So wise. And since this, the actor has passed away. May he rest in peace.
tama yeager gibson moral compasses don’t last long in this show Dale was the first and now Hershel and there’s still more ppl that’ll die later that’ll shock them.
@@pyr1412 Im aware.
@Feanor No one said "ONLY the moral compasses gets killed".
I've seen this episode countless times and yet I still cry every time, especially seeing you guys' reaction to this. End of an incredible chapter of storytelling in the show though with more to come -- I'm interested to know how you think this will impact everyone, especially Rick, Carl, Michonne, Beth, Maggie, Darryl, etc.
Hey, Duo, thanks so much for helping us all relive these amazing moments. Love yall.
This was the moment they needed Shane
Fax
I wish I could erase my memory and watch this show again for the first time. What a episode
Has to be the hardest episode to this point the tension never gets old you just want to say nooo everytime.
RIP Hershel
All my friends looked at me like I was nuts when I started laughing hysterically when Hershel’s head got chopped off lol
Wow another great reaction. Having watched this for the first time years ago watching it again with your reaction makes me relive it again. You guys are in for quite a ride with this show and I love every minute of it.
Hershals death was the one that effected me the most then his daughter Beth.
Steve: "We're gonna' dive into this and we'll dissect it at the end... If we're emotionally ready."
Me: Okay, there will NOT be a dissection at the end of this episode.
And Steve? It's okay to cry, buddy. We've all been there.
I will see you cry before this is over. And I know just the scene that's going to do it.
Miss you, Hershel.
I remember crying, literally bawling my eyes out over this episode. Things weren’t going to be the same, I knew that-Rick wanted to believe in what he said, that you can back from things but sometimes you can’t. The upcoming episodes and season will change everyone, you know that from the very last scene and the only joy comes from the actors performances.
The hardest death in TWD history! Hershel!
RIP Scott Wilson. Always will remember your performance.
It ended at the right time, I agree - that was an intense episode! Thanks for your reaction and discussions, always very thoughtful! It's always so stressful when the gang gets separated too!
One of the few good things to come out of this episode is the possible potential the groups allow for several characters who haven't interacted much to form relationships.
What your feeling is how almost every watcher felt.
Glad you guys did 2 parts. Great reaction. Brought back the shock of it all
Rick's speech gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it, Hershel was proud of him right before he died.
This is one of the most tragic episodes with Hershel and Judith and Carl crying and Rick almost dying - my heart still hurts.
I just started the Walking Dead a few weeks ago and honestly, I haven't had such an intense reaction to an episode like this since Ozymandias from Breaking Bad
That was a brutal episode. I just started watching The Walking Dead 1 1/2 years ago, so like you guys, we are able to watch these episodes one right after another. Imagine how crappy it would have been to wait the weeks and months between the finales and premieres?!
It was horrible waiting lol but the theories and speculation for what was coming was always fun....that is until the spoiling dead fans came into the picture. Now you cant get on social media without seeing a spoiler to the latest episode.
Comic Comparisons : in the comics It’s Tyreese who gets decapitated his comic counterpart is actually introduced much earlier than in the show before they get to the farm the battle for the prison goes down a bit different The Governor is presumed dead for a while before he randomly shows up at the prison gates It should be noted that the Governor never kills all of his people or burns down Woodbury so he still had an army with him him becoming Brian Heriot is completely unique to the show I can’t remember exactly but I think their first attack failed Nonetheless they eventually bust through and kill a lot of people Hershel does die in this battle in the comics but not in the same way He begs to be killed after his son is shot right in front of him and the Governor grants him that Rick tries to escape with Lori and Judith but Lori who is carrying Judith is shot and falls to the ground killing both her and the baby after the Governor successfully wins the prison Lily who was already a member of Woodbury and dealt the killing shot on Lori realizes she also killed a baby and gets mad at the Governor when the Governor shows no remorse she shoots him dead in the head after that nothing more is said about the Woodbury group.
Told yall it was gon be nuts...
This episode held Alotttt of cool pieces straight from the comic pages ..
And i love that shit when they nail those moments
The end of the prison, and Hershal, was devastating to fans, and you're reaction was the same as ours. We had to wait a few months before the next half to get answers, and at least you'll have yours in a few days of watching. Season 4 was one of my favorite seasons, and I still miss the prison, and Hershal.
Same!
And that's what I was thinking. How we (original viewers) had to wait aaaages to continue the story. ♡
Thing is you knew Hersh wasn't going to last much longer. Steves reaction in his eyes was anger
