The Walking Dead Season 3

[RP]

I do not like where they are going with Axel. I really hope we dont have to see Carol or the hot blonde girl get raped.

[YOUR Hero]

Yeah, but I think that's where it is heading...

[YOUR Hero]

And yes, the preview took a bit of the cliff hanger out of the wait

[Tom Guycott]

Horrible Women Character Highlander

Would this be similar to Black Guy Highlander?

[Innovator]

I'm positive Tyrese had more dialogue in one episode than T-Dog and Oscar did combined all series.

[Hanso Amore]

Would this be similar to Black Guy Highlander?

It is.

[Hanso Amore]

Its also known as "poor writing"

[Adder]

avatars are confusing me

[Miotch]

what why

[Lock Jaw]

Why would Michonne, instead of opening her mouth and telling Andrea of the seedy activity that The Governor has been up to, just stand there and silently walk off?

[Kalyx triaD]

I think she was in disbelief of her former best friend siding with the Gov, and if she isn't asking questions by this point (in that bizarre setting) than she probably figures Andrea made up her mind. From Michonne's POV, who's to say Andrea didn't already know and was fine with it? Then there's having a gun pointed at her, and all the shit going down that night.

A dramatic exchange of ideals and revelations had no time that night.

[Lock Jaw]

Sure it did.

[Sixx]

Why would Michonne, instead of opening her mouth and telling Andrea of the seedy activity that The Governor has been up to, just stand there and silently walk off?

Not the first time she chose to be quiet instead of saying something for no reason.

Like when she got to prison, she never mentioned Andrea to them, never mentioned Merle's name (although Andrea told her about her group and Daryl being Merle's brother).

Her not talking is not making her look mysterious or anything, just retarded.

[Lock Jaw]

Maybe she is a "gifted" retard. Like Rain Man. Only instead of being really good at math, she is really good with a sword.

[Crimson]

Yea it's hard to root for her when she's playing a dumb mute.

[YOUR Hero]

I believe they are making her characer hold back info. Playing it as a type of leverage. Theres a balance though and right now, they seem to be pushing her silent side too much. The whole Andrea / Michonne stand off was good though, that wasn't the time for chitting and chatting

[CSL]

I feel like they spoilered some shit in the preview for later this season
They show Glen say "What is HE doing here?" while outraged. Must be Merle. So its seems like Merle is going to end up at the Prison somehow trying to make appends. So I would HOPE this means Daryl makes it too. He better not die. I will lose my shit.


they showed Darryl running through some trees in the preview also

[Hanso Amore]

Oh I missed that.

[Skippord]

big fan of this guy

[Next Big Thing]

I think this is going to end up being some elaborate rouse between Merle and the Governor. I remember the Governor saying something about them needing an "inside man" for the prison. Although he said Daryl could be that guy, I believe the public denouncement of Merle was to win his brother's trust knowing that Daryl would take Merle back with him and lead to the eventual double crossing or something to that effect. I just don't see the Governor being that irrational all of a sudden.

He just 'lost' his daughter and his eye.

[Next Big Thing]

Michonne is more obnoxious than bad ass to me. I know the Governor is supposed to be the big baddie, but I was hoping he'd beat her ass after she killed his kid in front of him. Maybe they are holding back and she'll have some kind of origin story in the second half of this season, but right now, she just seems like she's got permanent PMS and half a brain.

[Kalyx triaD]

She does seem dark for dark's sake but if this show taught us anything is that people, in the end, have their reasons. Her backstory is largely unexplored and even the comic didn't address it for a long while.

[Next Big Thing]

Damn. I forgot that Merle told told the Governor Michonne was dead. While I still maintain Merle will pull a double cross, my original thesis may need a little revision.

By the way, I really hope Rick doesn't go soft dumbfuck again when Merle returns to the camp like he did on the farm with that kid with the group who tried to kill him, Herschel and Glen. There's no way anyone in that group aside from Daryl should be in favor of Merle not eating a bullet when he eventually shows back up.

[Kalyx triaD]

After what happened with Glenn, I doubt Rick's group will be friendly to Merle.

[Tom Guycott]

Why would Michonne, instead of opening her mouth and telling Andrea of the seedy activity that The Governor has been up to, just stand there and silently walk off?

They've already established she's not in the habit of explaining herself.

And Andrea was dense enough to question the woman who kept her alive all winter instead of scanning the room and seeing beyond her one-eyed fuck buddy and noticing all the suspicious gasping walker heads and the very turned Penny or even putting 2 and 2 together on the fact that The Governor was constantly steering her away from something.

Either that, or he just put it on her hardcore.

It seemed like they are going to either make each other fight or kill both of the brothers. I doubt they plan for Rick to comeback and make the save with their entire town being on alert (And out numbering them by a ton). I don't see the Governor being like "These are the terrorist and for their crimes we will let them go!"

[YOUR Hero]

He just 'lost' his daughter and his eye.

...to a chick that Merle told him he had killed...

[YOUR Hero]

so I highly doubt it's a swerve play. If it is, then thats poor writting.

I see them getting away,(as the preview gave away) I see there being a possibility of Merle joining the group ala his brother, as he fights off the Gov & C0. I see that falling apart and Merle dies Or Merle goes off on his own - only to resurface somewhere else down the line in a new story arc.

[RP]

That was horrible that they let that preview air. I honestly didnt expect a preview. Respect spoilers gosh!...

[Mercenary]

I be fine if Andrea was killed.

[RP]

me too. What a turd.

[Innovator]

Lori 2.0

[RP]

It's really just horrible writing to be honest. They need a good female writer.

[RP]

Any female that watches this show, can tell a man wrote the Andrea charachter for the show. It's bad.

[Ruien]

Her whole gimmick last season was trying to become more like a man.

[Kalyx triaD]

Because she excelled at guns and didn't want kitchen duty?

[RP]

she didnt want to make sandwiches

[YOUR Hero]

and now look at her

[Kalyx triaD]

Alive and dating a town leader.

[Blitz]

Until the last episode, Andrea's behaviour was pretty explainable. We think it's fucked up because we see things that make it blatantly clear that the Gov is a villain. She don't see that shit. Continuing on after everything that happened in the last ep is fairly idiotic though.

[YOUR Hero]

she's processing the info

[Blitz]

I'm somewhat skeptical as some of the scenes from the teaser for the next half of the season seem to show her fairly ensconced still.

[Next Big Thing]

The Governor did give her that explanation that he kept the heads as a reminder of what's out there and dude keeping his daughter around perhaps makes him seem less of a bastard to her and him giving her that excuse, however weak it sounds to us as viewers, is much better than Michonne behaving the way she did while giving Andrea no real explanations for her actions other than we need to get out of here.

She's definitely not Lori 2.0 for me.

[Disturbed316]

Finally got round to seeing the final episode of this mid season, can't wait for it to start up again.

[Razzamajazz]

amc said they'd show every episode in order on new year's eve, but instead only showed this season. lying bastards

[Kalyx triaD]

Okay.

[Razzamajazz]

uh huh

[Big Vic]

yeah

[PapaGeorgio]

Wish the governor shot andrea instead of the wounded guy

[Blitz]

Shots of Wraith Lori at the end were kinda genuinely unsettling.

[Kalyx triaD]

Rick's fucking losing it big time.

[RP]

OK. Just gunna throw this out there. I liked the episode, but there's some seriously concerning directions they may or may not be going, that were strongly insinuated.

The biggest one for me was the cute little blonde taking care of Ricks baby and then kissing him gently on the cheek when she see's him.... I can see what's going on there. Carl vs Rick eventually? I dunno. I dont think i'm looking to far into that scene. I thought it was obvious. That's a future issue right there.

[Kalyx triaD]

lol Nah.

[RP]

Stop it. It was clear as day. This show is all about foreshadowing things. They've done it since day 1. You have to admit, that's what that was.

[Kalyx triaD]

I noticed it, figured at best a crush thing which may get under Carl's skin but 'Rick vs Carl' my ass. I mean, squash match is squash match.

[RP]

I'm not saying Rick vs Carl literally you dingbat. I'm saying, that's gunna be problem.

ok maybe i literally said Rick vs Carl, but you know what I mean.

[Kalyx triaD]

Have at it, man, have at it.

[RP]

What are you talking about right now Kalyx triaD. I feel like i need cliff notes to read your posts right now.

[Kalyx triaD]

What do you mean what am I talking about? I've posited nothing and merely responded to your ideas. And then I let it go.

So... what are you talking about? Explain.

[RP]

Have at it, man, have at it.

HAVE
AT
WHAT?

What are you talking about here?

[Kalyx triaD]

You doubled down on your theory and rather than retort I figure let it go and see what happens. Or rather;

"Have at it, RP."

[Kalyx triaD]

Chillax, bro.

[RP]

Are we beefing right now? We got beef? Wanna make sandwiches?

[Kalyx triaD]

I ain't got time for that, nigga.

[Razzamajazz]

tyrese is gonna fuck some honkies up

[Savio]

Rick vs Carl......HELL IN A CELL!

[Innovator]

That big bald zombie was apparently Hines Ward

[Disturbed316]

Great stuff last night, Rick is completly loosing his mind but hopefully it wont last long.

[razorblade kisses]

Great stuff last night, Rick is completly loosing his mind but hopefully it wont last long.

Yeah I'm already over the whole Rick being mental thing.

Does anyone else think Rick is really daft driving all the real muscle away? I mean, Merle is like a really vicious guard dog. Give him something to do, preferably bloody away from all the weaklings and he'll be fine.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I think keeping the mentalcase away from the people he's grown to care for and trying to protect is probably the best logic he's shown in the whole show. Them reluctantly accepting Merle into the group would seem like a pretty easy route for the writers to have gone in terms of creating drama and tension in the group, but "realistically" nobody would ever have brought him in, given his history.

There could still well be an arc down the line of minor redemption for Merle, before he's accepted into the group, then leading to that tension I just mentioned, but I'm glad they didn't try and force it in now.

I suppose when you put it that way.

I am getting the same foreshadowing with that little blonde girl that everyone else is. She has a serious crush. It's a bit cringy actually.

[Triple Naitch]

Can't wait to see Cutty kill more zombies.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Cutty needs to not take that shit off Rick. Needs to get him down to the boxing gym and show him what for.

[Blitz]

AXEL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Kalyx triaD]

Just when he started to get interesting.

[Blitz]

This was a seriously great episode by the way.

[Kalyx triaD]

The 'Walker Bomb' was wicked.

[Blitz]

It was, but I was a little confused on first watch, because it looked like the driver A) was Andrea, and B) walked into the prison. But on second watch it seems clearer.

There's a lot to love in this episode.

-Andrew Lincoln still doing the best work on the series as Rick
-Glen stepping up
-Daryl single-handedly saving a woman and child from a walker horde whilst gorily destroying all of them was a scene designed to wet panties
-David Morrissey has made the Gov all his own. For the most part, portrayals have hewn close to the comic counterparts. But Morrissey is hitting all the beats the Gov needs while creating what feels like an entirely different character from the book. Very well done.
-AXEL :'( Carol just can't catch a fucking break.
-The interaction between Andrea and Milton in the street was a nice little comic beat.
-Merle at the prison will be an interesting dynamic, though I'm still feeling like he'll be done by the end of the season.
-The Grimes Gang has been getting straight complacent. And they paid for it.
-Michonne really needs to be served better next season. She's got all the depth of a kiddie pool right now.


Only thing I didn't really like was the treatment of the Lori apparition. At the end of the last episode with her all shrouded in shadow, it looked like her face was fucked, which would've been a cool direction to stay with. But from a character/story standpoint, it makes sense since it's Rick imagining his perfect image of his wife.

Curious how the season will end. Kirkman says there's still a major comic character to debut before the end of the season. Abraham perhaps, or maybe Aaron, which could open the door to the Alexandria storyline, but it feels a bit early for that. The return of Morgan is a possibility, as I think he and Rick would have an interesting dynamic right now.

In closing, RIP #CAXEL :'(

[YOUR Hero]

What bugs me a little

When the Gov and company were able to take out the national guard in a mater of seconds, but at the prison they 'only' get Axel. Hell, they managed to get a guy set up on a tower, yet he kills no one/the rest of them fire from outside the prison.

They made the Gov&Co. seem like such capable killers with the national guard, but since then, they have managed only to shoot 2 prisoners

[Savio]

Its like everyone forgot how to shoot that day, Ricks gang are pretty good shooters as well.

If I was the governer I would have shot Axel in the chest so he becomes zombiefied

[YOUR Hero]

I understand Rick's roup as they are caught off guard, had no weapons, hadd gun troubles... They shouldn't have made the Gov's team so good with the national guard and then follow it up with the last couple of outings. I'm being somewhat nit-picky perhaps, but stuff like that always stays with me

[Savio]

I'm kinda wondering why they couldn't kill Hershel since everyone else had some cover. Did they not see him? They were able to hit Axel like 7 times.[/nitpick]

[Corporate CockSnogger]

It's pretty much just Stormtrooper syndrome. You've got a team of highly trained marksmen, who can't hit anything because if they did there'd be no main cast. It's just one of those things you have to accept in most movies and TV shows.

[Rammsteinmad]

Fucking incredible episode! After all the bitching and shitty reviews people were posting on the internet about the last episode (which I enjoyed), this episode should shut them up. Not every episode can be so explosive like this one, it's all in dynamics. But this episode was brilliant, so many interesting plots going on, and so much action etc.

[Savio]

The pre-season review some critic gave said that the first half was good and the second half petered off. But the past 2 episodes were pretty damn solid.

[RP]

I feel like Maggie needs to kill Glen and start doing a manlier man. Glen is horrible.

[Blitz]

Because I don't think that's what it was about. The Gov wants to inflict terror on these people who took the one thing he loved. This was a raid, not an all out attack. That's why he took a skeleton crew instead of rallying all of Woodbury. He wanted to inflict some pain and see exactly what he was up against. Towards the end you can see him firing indiscriminately, because he's trying to attract walkers, not necessarily hit anyone. He wanted to hit them, damage them, and keep them occupied until he came back for real.

[Savio]

I think it was more than about terror, he wanted to fuck their camp up but also acted with caution because he knew he was out numbered. If it would have been easier he would have killed them all.

Someone important drove that truck, no other reason to put them under a mask and all those clothes. Don't think its Andrea though.

[Adder]

Wasn't Andrea, because she was back at Woodbury asking where the Gov was.

[Raven Reaper]

I suspect that driver of the truck with walkers was the same woman Andrea asked in the Woodbury barriers.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I'm pretty sure the woman was just any old woman and isn't significant. She could've been covered head to toe in body armour possibly because she was driving a truck full of flesh living zombies.

[Blitz]

The same woman she asked after the Governor's party had already left.

I'm pretty sure the woman was just any old woman and isn't significant. She could've been covered head to toe in body armour possibly because she was driving a truck full of flesh living zombies.Why not let us see her face though?

So people on the internet can make a bigger deal out of it than it is.

[Kalyx triaD]

This.

[Tom Guycott]

Just when he started to get interesting.

Literally, JUST when he started getting interesting. I still wanna know what "that sumbitch" (his brother) did.

[Kalyx triaD]

He probably shot Rick and put him in a coma.

[mitchables]

wonder if this will push carol more towards her terrible comic counterpart. i really hope not. when she started off i really didn't like her but she took sophia's death like a champion and has kind of grown on me a lot as a not-awful member of the group

so i hope she doesn't just chuck it all in and ice herself

[mitchables]

i think we've reached a point where the show has sufficiently diverged from the comic that, really, it's a bit stupid to say that it's automatically a spoiler because it happened in the book

consider this payback for coulson, either way

[Kalyx triaD]

'lol'

[YOUR Hero]

LOL, really?

[RP]

i thought it was funny...

[Ermaximus]

I think Carol will end up killing Merle to be honest.

[Next Big Thing]

Just finished watching the first two episodes. Shit just got real.

Daryl might be the best "good guy" on t.v. right now. It would be a sad day if he ever got bit. Also can't wait for Merle to meet Tyrese. I'm sure he'll have nothing but good things to say.

It's Merle's southern charm.

The end of the second episode was definetley the most intense the show's been since the first episode of season 2 when the herd walked thru the cars.

[Next Big Thing]

And can't forget... Lori continues to be a bitch. Even from beyond the grave.

[Eklipse]

Atleast we didn't have to hear her constant nagging. She could have atleast made Rick a sandwich. He has to be starving.

[Disturbed316]

Great episode. Loved how Rick is loosing his mind one minute then completly snapped back in to badass mode once the attack took place. His little talk with Hersal was really tugging at the heart strings.

Poor old Axel, I found him creepy to begin with but his interations with Carol, who is also turning into a better character, won me over. It seems Carol cant catch a break with her men, abusive husband, abandoned by young hunk, T-Dog getting eaten and now creepy water pistol robber.

Loved how the attack played out and how Michone got to slicing and dicing again, Glenn can just go and fuck himself though, trying to be a big angry man, attempting to lead the group and fill Rick's shoes and failing big time.

It will be interesting to see who Merle's roll in the prison will play out, was a pretty good mark out moment when he and Daryl saved the day.

[RP]

I feel like Glenn is on the clock.

[Savio]

this show is all about foreshadowing. Glenn is gone.

They also had about 20 people that day. Today they had 3?

[itsmeJD]

I'm just glad Cutty made it out of B-more. Them boxing lessons definitely paid off.

[Kalyx triaD]

Last episode was probably the most self-aware of the series.

[Disturbed316]

It was nice for Andrea to have her little reunion with the group, glad they told her to fuck off though.

[Adder]

She looked pretty good all naked in the moon light though. Gotta give her that.

[Skippord]

she looks great when you can't see her face

[YOUR Hero]

interesting how it seems Tyrees's group are going to give prison diagrams to the Gov. Drawings they coud easily google....

you guys give me a sad

[Innovator]

Morgan!

[Kalyx triaD]

Michonne is a fucking ninja.

[Tom Guycott]

Michonne is a fucking ninja.

I believe she is Snake-Eyes specifically. Stays silent and swings swords. Also, it gives me a reason to shout "... because it's fucking Snake-Eyes!"* whenever she does something cool.




*Origin: in the first GI Joe film, there were a couple of instances where, had literally ANYBODY else pulled a similar stunt, such as using a snow cat to wreck a launched missile, I would have called bullshit so hard. He gets a pass, though. Why? BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING SNAKE-EYES!!! He is well versed in badassery.

[Skippord]

how rad would it be if Snake Eyes showed up on The Walking Dead?

[Blitz]

Excellent episode.

[YOUR Hero]

No saying this is how it will go but

It would be kinda cool if Morgan pops up in an episode every year or so.

[Savio]

I liked the episode but in the big scheme of things it was a filler episode.

[Kalyx triaD]

He's totally doing an 11th hour save c'mon. Realistic and gritty as WD is, it still throws in cliche tropes when warrented, not that it's a bad thing.

[Innovator]

I liked the episode but in the big scheme of things it was a filler episode.

Filler episode which built the Michonne/Rick dynamic and gave us Morgan's return. Filler is the first half of season 2.

[Savio]

It was more of an appearance than a return. Good filler episode but Filler none the less.

Filler episode which built the Michonne/Rick.
Yeah I liked that they got more screen time together. I hoping later on in this season or the next, Rick/Merle go on a run together (and don't try to kill each other).

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I really enjoyed that episode. One of the more haunting episodes they've had.

- Carl calmly shooting people now.
- The way they left the guy at the beginning, then find him torn to pieces at the end and go back to take his bag.
- The whole of Morgan's mental stability.

And we finally got some personality shoved into Michonne which is all well and good.

[Kalyx triaD]

A commentator noted humorously that Michonne is the first character to make Carl stay in one place for a minute. They could run with this as Michonne being new mother/big sister figure who puts a stamp on Carl's unstoppable growth into the ultimate zombie killer. Rick has more or less forgotten he's a kid, and damn there accepts him as some kind of lieutenant (just below Daryl in rank honestly). But Michonne's 'No I'm the adult here' approach was refreshing.

Also note this episode was written by the guy who will run the show next season. A full season of character stuff like that would be great.

[Blitz]

I liked the episode but in the big scheme of things it was a filler episode.
Any episode that doesn't significantly advance the main plot=filler.

He's totally doing an 11th hour save c'mon. Realistic and gritty as WD is, it still throws in cliche tropes when warrented, not that it's a bad thing.
Bet you he won't.

[Kalyx triaD]

Why would I bet that? I have no investment in my forecast. If I'm wrong then whatever. #postmoderngeek

[Razzamajazz]

amc with the spoiler on the "previously on the walking dead." they showed a clip of rick talking in to the radio from the first season so you knew there would be something involving morgan

I was not seriously asking you to bet me on one of the plotlines of The Walking Dead.

[Kalyx triaD]

You totally were.

[Skippord]

I'll bet you 9000 dollars there's a Zombie next week

[YOUR Hero]

I really enjoyed that episode. One of the more haunting episodes they've had.

- Carl calmly shooting people now.
- The way they left the guy at the beginning, then find him torn to pieces at the end and go back to take his bag.
- The whole of Morgan's mental stability.

And we finally got some personality shoved into Michonne which is all well and good.
yes

[Lock Jaw]

I probably would not have recognized him if they didn't do that. My initial reaction to his unmasking would have been "Hey it's some guy", rather than "IT'S MORGAN".

[Next Big Thing]

Filler episode which built the Michonne/Rick dynamic and gave us Morgan's return. Filler is the first half of season 2.

Also an easy way for the group to suddenly have more ammo.

Interesting how the guy they left behind was torn to shreds and they stop only to pick up his pack. Shows the frame of mind of Rick's crew. Michonne calling whatever the hell that animal statue was "delicious" immediately made her more likable to me.

[Razzamajazz]

I probably would not have recognized him if they didn't do that. My initial reaction to his unmasking would have been "Hey it's some guy", rather than "IT'S MORGAN".

yeah same for me, but once rick saw morgan's walkie would have been the big reveal moment

[Disturbed316]

Awesome episode, wouldn't consider it a filler, more of a development one. Nice to see Michonne have a bit more personality and drop her guard with Rick, had a bit of a chuckle when she brought out that ridiculous cat helping out Carl.

When Rick pulled the mask off I was hoping it was someone from his past, very happy it was Morgan reappearing, but god he is messed up. Maybe he'll snap out of it and search for Rick and the gang to hook up with them, but I doubt he will, he's just too broken.

[YOUR Hero]

They had to soften Michonne somehow. That was a pretty good way to do it. Better thn having her say "please" (which they cut out of one episode)

[RP]

She should of lofted that kids head off.

[RP]

The guy playing Morgan was amazing and they would be making a mistake not to have him be a regular. That was a fantastic performance.

[Next Big Thing]

Question for comic book followers of the show:

Did Tyreese and his group originally go to the Governor in the comics as well?

[CSL]

Lennie James. He's always great, especially as somebody "on edge" (Line of Duty, The State Within, Outlaw etc)

[Next Big Thing]

Holy shit! He's English too! It's a God damn invasion. English actors are brilliant.

[Kalyx triaD]

Best not to fish for spoilers or connections. The show and comic are fairly different at this point.

[Well Groomed Fox]

I liked the episode but in the big scheme of things it was a filler episode.

I think calling this episode filler is a great injustice. This episode, on top of some amazing acting, gave us strong character development for Rick, Michonne, and even Carl.

Rick saw in Morgan the path he could go down. He was talking more to himself throughout their conversation, and he really had a moment of clarity in realizing what his motivation is and how he's hurting people by not keeping himself grounded. His comments to Michonne made that very clear at the end of the episode.

How many times has Carl been told what to do, only to wander off and cause trouble? We started the episode with more deliberate disobedience, but ended with him finally staying put when Michonne told him to.

And holy shit, Michonne has a personality now. It's tough for an actor to get by when every line is just *INTENSE GLARE*. She's human now, with emotional attachments outside of that small range we've seen up to now. As mentioned in the episode, she's "one of us."

[YOUR Hero]

yup

[RP]

I thought Carl was going to say the N word at least five different times during this episode.

[RP]

by N word i mean nigger

[Innovator]

/Paul

[Savio]

lol no, definitely not.

I must say this now, after seeing last nights episode and seeing the Michonne stip the governor gave rick, last weeks episode wasn't filler because I think before last week Rick would have given up Michonne.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Loved the interactions between the two groups. Herschel is the most badass crippled, old guy ever. I did, however, think that the scene of Rick telling Herschel should've come before the war proclamation or early in next weeks episode. With the music playing and the "we're going to war" speech, it seemed like a great end to the episode, but then the extra scene seemed a little out of place. But that's me just nitpicking.

They've done a really good job with the music they've been choosing to end the episodes with this season.

[Blitz]

I just want a spin-off that features Herschel bartending at an old west saloon and dispensing sage advice.

[Blitz]

Anyone wanna guess who's gonna be dead by the end of the season? My money's on at least one of the Greenes. Maybe Carol too.

[Kalyx triaD]

Andrea looking doomed right now. Governor will probably do the deed, too.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I've got a feeling Merle will be killed off in a heroic manner, saving Daryl, Rick or Glen. Although there's a lot of potential in the series to be had by keeping a rogue in the group, so that could come next season or any time in the future really. It's really hard to pick out any one else since every character has it's place now, there aren't really any throwaway characters left. You could probably say Beth or Carol but I think they''re kinda necessary to have around as a foil to all the testosterone floating round.

Rick.

There's only so much they can do with him after this season, plus killing him off opens up a ton of options.

Plus, I just want to see teaser posters with Carl on the front in his hat being flanked by Daryl on one side and Michonne on the other.

[Crimson]

I'll say Merle for sure..Andrea, and either Herschel or Carol.

Killing Rick off seems far fetched but it would be epic.

[Well Groomed Fox]

The man is an alcoholic, how could you be so cruel?

[Savio]

Carol, hopefully Andrea too....We can have some people from wood-bury join the group as well.

[Next Big Thing]

I don't mind Andrea to be honest with you. I don't mind her as the torn/hapless liaison between the two groups. I can see her dying at the hands of the Governor while saving Michonne. Furthering the beef between Mich and the Governor.

Interesting to see what impact Tyrese and his group has as well.

[YOUR Hero]

if Tyrese and his group are (supposed) to have any impact, I hope they spend some time building them up.

[Kalyx triaD]

There's only two episodes left, though.

[Next Big Thing]

Three eps left. Maybe they'll start building them up this week.

[Disturbed316]

Andrea can go, and thinking Merle will probably go too.

[Blitz]

At the beginning of the season, I would've agreed on Merle. But now he can be a valuable source of conflict from within the group itself. I'd keep him.

[YOUR Hero]

He's the new Shane you mean

[Innovator]

About time tyrese got some air time

[Tom Guycott]

Jesus, that boy is about a bad a shot with that sniper as Church is.

[Lock Jaw]

That Andrea/Governor scene was pretty intense.

[razorblade kisses]

I'm thinking Andrea because the governer killing her would be a great storyline.
I'm thinking either Glenn or Maggie, preferably Glenn because Maggie is the eye candy/ more feminine emotionally strong character (as opposed to Michonne who is just badass).
Glenn is annoying me a bit, when he used to be one of my favourite characters.
I don't want Beth to die because I can see potential in her character and her use within the group. She's pretty much single-handedly taking care of that baby and she's either going to be a love interest for Carl or Rick, which I fins interesting. Also, she's the only one out of the lot of them that has complete faith and innocence, she's quite sheltered and not at all jaded.
I agree that killing Rick off would be a great curveball.

Yes because Rick is clearly a pedophile being that he used to be a Sheriff and all.

IF anyone is going to die, it's going to be Herschel, Merle, and/or Beth. I also see Milton playing a much bigger role than he's been believed to be. Clearly he's the one who torched all the zombies in the pit.

Why would being Sheriff stop him from being a massive, dirty pedo? Plus, isn't she like 18 on the show? Not to mention it's the end of the world, the human race is on the verge of extinction, ect. Wouldn't they be more worried about not dying out and not when your 18th birthday is? Or maybe I'm just a massive pedo.

Edit: Also did not like that episode much. The Gov had some Jason Voorhees-esq teleporting/tracking ability.

[Blitz]

Milton is going to die, fairly sure. He just got cast in a new pilot.

Curious to see how far they go with Andrea and the Gov next episode. She seems to be heading towards what Michonne got in the comics, but I really doubt the show will go that far with it.

I did like the nod to the frame in the comics when the Governor was grabbing the chains last night.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Personally thought that was the weakest episode of series 3.

Ricks gonna get his dick wet

[razorblade kisses]

In the UK she'd be legal at 16.

Just over 100 years ago, the age of consent in the US was 12. 7 in Delaware.

Considering other social norms have gone out of the window in the zombie apocalypse, I sincerely doubt that you would be considered a peodophile for shacking up with a 16-18 year old girl.

[YOUR Hero]

he's 'the good guy", so he wont

[Savio]

I don't know he might get super horny one night, remember they don't have internet porn now.

[Adder]

Think the Gov will try to leverage Andrea for Michonne?

[Savio]

He might use that as a trick, but I think his emotions towards her now are as a jilted lover.

[itsmeJD]

Jesus, that boy is about a bad a shot with that sniper as Church is.

They didn't use sniper rifles in Baltimore.

[razorblade kisses]

We've not yet had a real crime of passion on the show. Maybe the Maggie scene was a hint of what's to come.

[Well Groomed Fox]

It's questionable how much the writers are willing to push AMC on that. They've definitely tested their boundaries with violence and language, and AMC has their $ blinders on to that. We'll see what kind of liberty they get, since that's definitely a logical facet of the post-apocalyptic world that needs exploring.

[CSL]

I wouldn't really say they've tested or pushed anything, Breaking Bad is a lot "darker" than The Walking Dead. This is pretty much a "put the under 12's in bed" family show.

[RP]

This week on Justified, there was a 3 minute rant from a guy wondering how many dick's Boyd Crowder's fiance sucked. He literally kept saying " How many dicks have you sucked???" in various forms of sentences.

Just thought i would add that. Bye.

and it was fucking amazing

Justified is the best

I do agree they are too 'squishy' I mean one time they tear a person open but yet theirs head squash so easy. Not to over think it, but it's a bit of a quirk

Screeners for tonight's ep were not sent to critics. So I'm guessing there's something they don't wanna risk spoiling.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Damn this show for making me feel things :(

[Kalyx triaD]

[Skippord]

whoa David Morrissey's real accent is sweet

hadn't heard him talk before this episode of Talking Dead

[Raven Reaper]

R.I.P. Merle That's all I have to say. :((

[YOUR Hero]

really good episode, these seasons are too short. Hopefully there will be less time in between.

[Next Big Thing]

Wow. Amazing episode. I expect the finale to be epic.

[Savio]

This coming SundaySeriously its a big oneApparantly Maggie dies in the next episode.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Damn, should probably mention that's a spoiler for the next episode. I clicked on that thinking you were just hiding something from the last episode. Wouldn't want others to have to read that if they didn't want to know.

[Savio]

Yeah I dunno how true it is since I'm at work but my girl told me she has been hearing it off tumblr

[Ermaximus]

Hope to God that is fake.

[Savio]

Part of me thinks it is because i can't find anything on it myself, but part of me thinks it might be true because it would kind of fit with the story with the engagement from yesterdays episode

[Rammsteinmad]

Great episode, as always.

Interesting how (kinda) three seasons of being a "bad guy" can be totally ignored after five minutes of being a hero. As much as I hated Merle and wanted him to die etc, after letting Michonne go, and going after the governors men, I was like :( when Daryl found him zombified.

Oh well... one episode left, should be fucking awesome! Then comes the long wait for season four, if they do a forth. Will give me a chance to go back and watch all three seasons in succession I guess.

[Next Big Thing]

This show is a monster hit. There better be a fourth season. I can see them wrapping it after a fifth or sixth season though.

[Innovator]

It's already renewed for the 4th season, the guy who directed 'Clear' is taking over as the showrunner.

[Rammsteinmad]

This show is a monster hit. There better be a fourth season. I can see them wrapping it after a fifth or sixth season though.

It's a sad fact, but if it doesn't, it'll end up getting "shit" and everyone will whinge and complain about how it's gone on for too long, the whole series has been ruined by the latest series etc. Happens to every show. :-\

[Crimson]

Pretty much. But let's just enjoy it now while its good.

[Lock Jaw]

Just watched the latest episode. RIP Merle. I thought there was a lot more to be done with his character, especially with how he let Michonne go. I guess that was the point though. Make the viewers feel like their time with Merle was cut short as well.

Also, I am making my prediction now: Either Glenn or Maggie die in the finale. If not the finale, early next season for sure. Being engaged pretty much spells doom for one of them, is what I'm saying. When Glenn was asking Hershel for permission I was all "NO GLENN, NO. YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS."

[Sixx]

Merle went down like a champ.

Yup, I called this on facebook and to my wife last night when watching. As soon as he went to Herschel, he/she were fucked. I let out an exasperated "god dammit Glenn" when he finished with herschel.

[Sixx]

I don't like Glenn, if he dies like in the comics (at least in a similar fashion) I am all for it.

[Next Big Thing]

The second half of this season was the first time where not a single character annoyed the hell out of me. I'll genuinely be down if any of them get zombified.

[RP]

How in the world are you not annoyed by Glenn. Andrea is running laps around Glenn. Glenn is so horrible. Cant wait for him to die next week.

[RP]

I feel like Glenn is on the clock.

[RP]

I've been really strong on the Glenn dieing thing. It's looking obvious. I think i made a post about how every big death is strongly foreshadowed in other episodes.

I dunno how they're gunna pull that glenn scene off on the tv show, but i bet it happens sooner and not later because Glenn is becoming really boring and handcuffed. They've made Maggie come of so strong as a female that Glenn just comes off like a little bitch. Whats there to do for him other than be Maggies bitch right now? Nothing. I can see that scene playing out like next season.

[RP]

she's processing the info

I bet Andrea is still processing the info

( this thread is pretty funny to reread through )

[Chavo Classic]

Feels like they've spent the whole last half of this season building towards the finale. As good as it's going to be, I'm certain that some people are going to be disappointed.

Weird really, since there's as much action per episode this season as there was in the whole of the previous season.
