To add, that same season they already killed Glenn.
He dies, but the show doesn't really address it. The characters do, but the show at this point was SUPER clear when a character died. Extra slow motion, special music, the works. Then they spend like 6 episodes with him dead, but you really just don't believe it. Then they reveal how he survived and it's just ridiculous, it's basically "the zombies just sorta give up for some reason". (Or is it like a dozen headshots, I forget at this point).
Anyway, ALL that happens, then the season ends on a big cliffhanger. Unfortunately the tension is all wrong. The show was moving at a glacial pace where basically if you watched the season opener, the mid-season finale (see, above) and the finale, you'd be mostly caught up on the story. And so this finale robbed us of that too.
Also the Internet was full of spoilers saying it was Glenn (from the comics) such that all excitement was lost between seasons.
