Ya, Herschel's head wasn't stabbed, so unless a stray bullet hit it, his zombie head will be sitting there for a long time ;p

actually looks like she missed the heart, he is still alive on the floor and you never see if she shoots him or misses
I'm still going with the daughters going back to get Hershel's head and bagging it, eventually it'll be used to bite the Governor :p

I'm no doctor but it looked like she got him through the heart to me. It would be pretty fucking stupid to have him come back yet again, but then this is The Walking Dead writers we are talking about...

They would have shown either the shot, someone watching it, or the aftermath of him turning into a zombie if the writer's wanted the gov to be officially dead. I don't remember seeing any of those happening. He's at the top of the Jump the Shark list.

He's dead. I refuse to believe otherwise. Not even this show is dumb enough to try and pull that horseshit.

I wonder if the last 8 are going to be fully split group funtime character development and then we get to the next set piece at the end like in season two, or are we going to get right into more real story before the end of the season. I don't like these actors or the characters enough to watch them roam around Georgia processing what just happened and then reacting to it for two months, even if that is what most shows would do. If we spend 120 minutes of actual runtime following Rick and Carl around while they both do their best Tom Hanks at the end of Captain Phillips impression that just might be the nail in the coffin for me.

He's dead, the actor who plays Hershel confirmed it in an interview, since The Walking Dead cast has a tradition of sending off killed stars with a "death dinner" and when they asked him how his was in an interview, he said it was cool, and that him and David Morrisey shared it since the Governor died as well, so they made it a bigger shindig than normal, etc.

The article is on EW.com if you really want to dig it up.

Governor is definitely dead.

btw, bob (the black drunk guy) is now never gonna die, he's about the only one left with medical training, so he'll survive the "black person" death curse. pretty much him/rick and carl are the only ones i'd put money on (like mortgage money) to never die.

And Obama said we could keep our plans. Its simply misdirection. Current and former actors aren't going to go out of there way to ruin anything for those watching.

Tank stuff was pretty much covered. The result was the only unrealistic thing about it. There's basically three outcomes.

Breech closed - Grenade at best damages gun, but unlikely since grenades don't have that much blast power. The fragments would have to be removed before firing the next shot however, else that would certainly damage the gun - but probably not the point of rendering it useless, mind you. it would just become horribly inaccurate, which isn't really a big deal since these people can't aim for shit in the first place.

breech open - Either grenade rolls inside the tank and explodes. Shrapnel takes out crew. Nothing else happens, tank just stops moving.
Or grenade causes a chain reaction by igniting the stored ammo inside the turret. The whole turret will explode in a giant fireball, as seen in the video Leijia posted.

The only thing that will certainly not happen is a small flame starting to burn out of the hatch.

tl,dr: grenades can disable tanks through the barrel.


The Governor seems to be capable of turning people into bloodthirsty psychopaths. But then again, this is Alabama, right? How many people who live there now are violent, hostile gun nuts? If it were Walking Dead in Canada, we'd be looking at a different show.
Of the m60 Patton, more than 15k vehicles have been built. That means throughout its service history of nearly fourty years, hundreds of thousands of people were trained on it. It's not that unlikely that in a random group of 50 adult people, one of them may have received M60 Patton training.

Nah I have seen MANY WW2 videos of the hatch flame fires. Usually in the lower caliber fires. I didn't pay much attention to the barrel during the episode, I assumed it had the 90mm? Also the powder charge of US tanks burned less explosively than the Germans or especially Russia. It was very common back then due to low caliber penetration such as a grenade would do. If it had been hit by a modern tank instead of the grenade into a open breech however the whole turret would look like swiss cheese.

This is why tank games such as WarThunder if you are in that closed beta right now model fires from the hatches as a kill.
