Totally agree, I was expeting the kid to raise up and shoot

This is the reason while the Gov is still alive in the first place ( see the 14 or so failed opportunities to kill him in my post from the other week ) Gov has actually been in crosshairs 3 separate times. If I had the gun on that guy, and told him to drop it, we don't play the " count to three" game. No thirty seconds of Jeopardy Music while you make a decision . Drop or Die. It's easy ! Especially when I am the guy with the gun. Lil Buckaroo did the right thing.
About time.

Glad Andrea is gone, I was really surprised they killed her off since she is such a big part in the comics.

I knew they wouldn't kill the gov, I expect he will die in the 3rd episode of season 4.

Not really much else to say about the season finale, it wasn't a very spectacular finale imo.......I have to say I am not that excited about season 4 as I was about season 3
