[Show Spoilers] Andrea's slowness as plot device

Missed riding with Rick off the farm by seconds (can't fully blame her for that one but from a writing standpoint it's the same).

Missed getting back to the prison late in S3 by seconds 'cause she stopped to admire her move of setting walkers on Philip instead of just getting outta there. She'd have made it into the prison had she just set off immediately.

Missed escaping Milton by seconds 'cause she seemed to think she had all day to get out of her handcuffs.

They tried to smooth over the Milton one throughout by having him appear to be dead and then talking to her again, a bit like a cry wolf situation, but it didn't work that well TBH. She didn't look any less like the horror movie blonde in that situation.

Ugh, I loved Andrea. The missed by seconds in S2 wasn't a reflection on her, just bad luck, and I don't even take unkindly to her S3 arc as a whole of trying to be peacemaker like some people do, but her two big screw-ups in S3 by way of the same plot device (slowness) is probably the most unfortunate blemish on Season 3 as a whole.
