Some thoughts on season finale of walking dead

I was really expecting this finale just because of the big fight I thought I would see at the end of the season. And I was hoping it would redeem everything that had happened before meaning all these 40 minutes episodes with real action of 5 minutes or even less, episodes that were just filling gaps.
So what we've got. My man Rick and his homies stay at the prison and there are some new people from Woodbury. One-eyed psycho governor with his homies are gone in an unknown direction but will strike back I hope. One blonde is dead (she wanted to die anyway at the end of the 1st season) because of the four-eyes walker. Carl is a badass kid. Glenn is still banging Maggie)
I don't like that they stayed in the prison, I think that is a bad move by screenwriters. It feels like the show needs some changes and they just don't happen. It would be interesting to learn something more about how it all started. I'm tired of zombies being like walking trees who are no danger anymore. The governor was a cool idea which turned out to be not so cool. He looked kinda creepy the first time we saw him (it reminds me of Jack Nicholson who looks kinda crazy and because of it Stephen King tried to talk Stanley Kubrick out of casting him for The Shining). I hope the next season will rock my world)
