That phone-bomb on the Talking Dead was awesome - loved how rattled some of the guests were while Hardwick was all amped up over it. LOL
As for the finale, while it didn't go out with a bang like last season, I think it did set us up for some interesting character arcs next season like:
Carl vs. Rick - clearly Carl feels his dad is just the biggest screw-up who makes decisions that get people killed and he's the one willing to step up and make the hard/right choices (in his mind)...him dropping the star on the ground at the end of the show was big
I think the twist at the end of the show where they bring the Woodbury people back to the prison was a genius twist on a season where their motto was "Fight the Dead, fear the Living." Rick & the rest of the group (except Carl) seem to get that going on as they had with their ever-diminishing numbers would lead to a fast and probably painful death. They have to learn to open themselves to others and grow the group to bring society back to what it had been before, or as close as they could get it.
Say what you will about Andrea, it was a great moment when Andrea was found and she was saying that people couldn't do it alone anymore and Darryl replied "You never could." They were both so good in that scene I sniffed once or twice.
I actually think it was smart to go back to the Prison - like it was mentioned above, Woodbury was strong enuf to keep walkers out but anyone with a minimum level of brains could infiltrate that town. It might be worth going back to continue to harvest the supplies etc from the town but I could see them using the numbers they have now to make the prison homier. And with the Governor & his flunkies having cleared the yard for the most part, they could repair the fences and look at planting crops to add to their stores.
