Sigh.
10 million people love and watch the show, and either don't care about or don't like the comic. Characters will live or die or be generated out of thin air, plots will twist or turn (or go nowhere) in order to please them.
By contrast, less than 100,000 people are fans of the comic (myself included), and are either lukewarm to or tolerant of the show's deviations from the source material.
Kirkman allegedly oversees the script writing to some extent, but is content to let the show go in its own direction, different on occasion from the comic, for whatever reason -- he claims to keep the fans guessing, but fans have limited interest in such things, frankly. We like adaptations to be as pure as possible...
Anyway, so that is why we are still at the prison, the Governor isn't dead, Andrea is gone (and conveniently replaced by a new chick...) and so on.
Notwithstanding my grumblings, this was a generally good episode (see further, my 2nd comment above...), well directed, well paced, etc.

Show is starting to get boring - the finale left me very disappointed.

Yep.
They have yet to introduce the problem of zombie "herds". That is how Kirkman eventually forces them to move along in the comic. That is until
