I'm starting to think that they work in different way than other shows. They make a big season break finale like they did this year which is the climax of the season and then for the rest of it they set up the next season.
I thought the episode was a major let-down. The point of having a season-ending cliff-hanger is that you build up to a storyline where the next piece of information has you hooked until the next season.
The way they played it out, we only got about 30 minutes of the new storyline before everything ended. It's impossible to get invested in a plotline with only that much exposure.

Yea, good way to put it. It's been kind of lame without the Governor. I have my doubts this Terminus thing is going to be a good enough villain to make the story worthwhile.
I hope next season Tyreese will have a much bigger role, maybe helping to spring the crew. But he is being really underused.
The main challenge to the writers of the show is that its core premise -- a zombie apocalypse -- is the most boring and predictable and least dynamic element of the show. The humans are the dynamic, interesting part. Zombies do the same shit over and over again and die the same predictable ways over and over again.
