This episode marks the conclusion to the prison story arc in the television series, as well as the conflict with The Governor, which had begun in the third season. It features the most character deaths and final appearances, which prominently include The Governor (David Morrissey), Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson) and Lilly Chambler (Audrey Marie Anderson). Commentators lauded the episode, while many particularly praised the climactic ending, deaths, the demolishing of the Prison and the performances, particularly from Andrew Lincoln, David Morrissey and Scott Wilson. In addition to its positive reviews, the episode also saw a rise in ratings from the previous episode, with 12.05 million viewers watching its original airing. ==Plot== The Governor (David Morrissey) captures Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson) and convinces his camp to help him take the prison. Lilly Chambler (Audrey Marie Anderson), however, is not convinced, but The Governor reassures her that her family will be safe. While Michonne seethes, The Governor dismisses Hershel's proposal for the two groups to coexist peacefully. He says goodbye to Meghan (Meyrick Murphy) before leaving her and Lilly near a river bank, where Meghan gets attacked by a walker and is killed. At the prison, the remaining sick are recuperating. Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) is upset at Rick (Andrew Lincoln) for exiling Carol after learning she killed Karen and David, and the two decide to tell Tyreese (Chad L. Coleman) about her involvement in the murders. Tyreese discovers a dissected rabbit and believes whoever did it was the killer. Rick tells him otherwise, but before he can explain, the three hear a large explosion, signaling The Governor's arrival. While Daryl formulates an escape plan, The Governor gives Rick an ultimatum to leave the prison or be killed, using Michonne and Hershel as leverage. Rick tries to reason with The Governor, who becomes frustrated and holds Michonne's katana to Hershel's neck. Rick appeals to the militia claiming that everyone isn't too far gone and they could still peacefully live together and resolve their differences, echoing Hershel's statements. The Governor calls Rick a liar, and swings Michonne's sword at Hershel's neck, partially decapitating him, and prompting Rick and the prison inhabitants to open fire. Michonne, taking advantage of the situation, rolls away and unties herself. A severely wounded Hershel attempts to crawl away, but The Governor catches him and repeatedly strikes him with the sword, severing his head and killing him. Lilly, who witnesses the execution, arrives at the prison with Meghan's body. The Governor takes her in his arms and coldly shoots her in the head. With Meghan dead, and his family no longer trusting him, he has no use for the prison, and he orders his militia to run down the fences and kill all the prison inhabitants. Mitch (Kirk Acevedo) destroys the fences with his tank, leaving the prison vulnerable, and the militia infiltrates the prison. Rick ambushes The Governor and the two struggle in a fist fight. With the tank blasting holes in the prison, the inhabitants begin boarding the evacuation bus. Maggie (Lauren Cohan) takes a sick Glenn (Steven Yeun) aboard the bus, but quickly departs to find Beth (Emily Kinney), who left to find Judith. Maggie, Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green), and Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard, Jr.) flee the prison after the bus drives off and Bob is shot. Tara (Alanna Masterson), shaken by the gunfire, runs off. As a large number of walkers stream through the downed fences, Tyreese is cornered by Alisha (Juliana Harkavy) and another soldier, but both are killed by Lizzie (Brighton Sharbino) and Mika (Kyla Kenedy). The children then run towards the prison, with Tyreese following them, telling them to go the other way. Daryl blows up the tank with a grenade, kills Mitch and flees the prison with Beth. The Governor nearly strangles Rick to death, but Michonne stabs him through the chest and leaves him lying on the ground to die. Searching for Judith, Rick and Carl (Chandler Riggs) find only her empty, bloody baby carrier. Devastated, the pair limps off from the prison. Meanwhile, The Governor lies dying in the field as walkers, among them a reanimated Clara (Kerry Condon), move into the prison. Lilly approaches the wounded Governor and bitterly shoots him in the head. Carl and Rick walk away from the prison, watching as hundreds of walkers stream in. Rick turns Carl away and tells him, "Don't look back, Carl. Just keep walking." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Too Far Gone (The Walking Dead)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
