Finally can comment, I stayed away from all the info of entire second half of the season and watched Ep 9 to 16 in one week.
The finale in one word -
underwhelming! I wouldn't say I was dissapointed because we did get to see the story progress and to good effect. It was just the decisions that were made for the finale.
On the finale:
1.
Andrea's death - while she might have been annoying, her death was very staged. It was one of those 'we-have-to-kill-somebody-for-the-finale' type things. After all the crap she been through, she had to die this way? Not a very real scenario, quite tense but felt staged.
2.
The Governor - from the start of Season 3, he was a force to be reckoned with. The finale... he seem to have lost it completely. I mean, really? I was so looking forward to seeing him in a 'proper' battle not stick his foot into the prison and then run for his life and then what... decide they were giving up and have to go back? WTH.
After all the crap he has put himself and his people through, that's it? We waited all season for him to lose his mind. I like the fact that he didn't die or something... evil lives on.
3.
Carl - maybe I missed out on something but why was he mad at Rick? Couldn't understand this part, I thought maybe Rick had assigned only a few to actually fight from within the prison and Carl wasn't in it. Kid needs a good smack, again. Also what were they implying with him killing that kid? Didn't really need to dwell on it imo... he killed him because he felt he was in danger. Move on already, they were speaking as if Carl had suddenly become a vicious killer. If they were implying so, it didn't really work too well.
4.
Walkers/Biters - so at the end of Season 3, lesson learnt was that
humans were far more dangerous that the walkers/biters. To me, this was something I didn't expect to engulf the entire season with. Typical TV-syndrome.
5.
Season 3 itself - Season 1 and 2 were stellar. Season 3 started stale and I really thought the whole Woodbury thing was a 'side' show. It became the central plot and the whole season was simply a battle against the Governor. From a TV standpoint, seem like a thinly spread butter. I don't know the source material (the comics) but once again the show has shown his knack for 'getting cozy' with a small subplot (Woodbury) and blowing it out of proportion. At least that is what it feels.
I got to say something about the walkers in the show thus far - some of the aspects of the show that really got my attention was in Season 1 with the doctor/scientist trying to find a cure. And then in Season 3, Milton and his experiments on them. This is a very intriguing part of the show, but unfortunately, they simply decide it may not work and cease to show anything further.
Don't get me wrong, it is a tremendously good show, you really want to know what happens next every time, but Season 3 seem to show a lot of weaknesses and suffered quite a few typical TV-syndromes including infamously 'holding on and then killing off characters' at important times to pull in the shock factor/viewer count.
They better buck it up for Season 4.
1. I consider Andrea to be a realistic and well-developed character(yes, she can be annoying, everything is not mutually exclusive), and for her to die like that is total BS so I agree with ya. Not to mention she could have just stab the thing she used to open the lock(forgot the name of that tool) into the zombie's head straight out and kill him. I remember she used a screwdriver to kill a zombie last time(s2?) and an improved Andrea could easily kill a single zombie.
2. For him to berserk in such a way is BS, especially when the entire season has built him to be someone that is calm and cunning. He might as well just kill a few of them and lead them back to the war OR just kill a few of them inside the prison, to force the others to stay still and fight on. He just suddenly snap for not much of reason but to allow the finale to go the protagonist's way. Just what the frat.
3. Carl is turning to be more cold-blooded than Rick, in a way. Rick has trouble pulling the trigger on critical moments that involve...well, another death or other big consequences but Carl is shown to have no problem doing so. This probably will play a part in s4.
5. S2 boring to me, dragged too long but its finale is much better than S3's finale(if you cut out the unrealistic display of the shooting, which I guess has improved a little bit this season but we never know since there's no big, long gunshot-trading here).

Now that all the woodbury folks are on Rick's side.
They should move in to woodbury. The governor has no supporters left.
Was kinda shock to see Merle turned into a zombie. Didn't feel anything for Andrea. Lol
That is true, Woodbury has much better defense and pretty much everything as compared to the prison(which is arguably in even worst shape defensively since the watchtowers are blown to pieces).

Personally, I think they could go for a full-out fight actually. While The Governor has size on his size, Rick has home advantage, which is freaking huge since he can set all sort of trap and it would be an equal fight. It would also be awesome to see whether Rick's side is really willing to gun down the amateurs/civilians, it sure as hell is a dilemma, it would be much more impactful to see them forced to kill those poor men and women instead of having them slaughtered by a psychotic Governor.
Also, we expect a new threat each season, but s4 I guess Governor is still in the run...and we are still in the prison? Darn, a change of scenary would be nice, no one wants to be in jail for too long.
