The Walking Dead Season 3 (contains spoilers)

I don't get why people rave about the comics so much. My bro bought me the Compendium which is a bunch of the comics collected together, but I could only read up to the prison. The writing was really lame IMO. The characters sounded like they were the same person (the writer) and didn't ring true - like Lori swearing at Hershel when she thought he was going to hit her.
Also, Shane going nuts was totally rushed. He had only spoken to Rick like twice before then suddenly goes on a rant and Carl shoots him. It was totally unbelievable.

Just seemed like standard writing about a zombie apocalypse, nothing really amazing about it.

DO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE COMICS, CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE NEXT SEASON

Basically, this is what happens in the comics and most of which, will be adapted into season 3/4

They arrive at the prison, clear the outside, open the main door, begin to clear the inside, the riot room, cells etc... then they get to the canteen, it's locked and seemingly no way in, they eventually pry the door open (this is where one of the comics ends)

The next comic starts with them opening the door to find......4 prisoners sat eating in the canteen as if no zombies even existed.

They talk with the prisoners who explain that when the prison became infected they were all working in the prison canteen, they had plenty of food (considering its a prison they would have had enough to feed the entire prison for a while) so they thought it best to lock themselves in there, since it's fairly secure, and just left the guards and rest of the prisoners to die.

They agree to help Rick & Co empty out the rest of the prison so they can all live there safely and securely (obviously since this is The Walking Dead that doesn't happen).

On a routine scouting trip for food, they see the helicopter (shown at the end of season 2) but the helicopter crashes, Rick, Glen and a few others decide to go and investigate, find the helicopter, but no bodies, they (probably with the help of Daryl in the TV show) track the foot prints to a town called Woodbury (this is where the Governor comes in, he runs Woodbury, keeps the residents safe etc..

Rick meets the Governor and attempts to build relations (and fails) turns out the Governor is bat crap crazy and makes Michonne find a guy in a brutal death match surrounded by walkers. Michonne, being the bad ass that she is, kills some dude and the walkers, finishing the brutal game.

The Governor, displeased with this, takes Michonne prisoner and repeatedly rapes her (interested how they're going to do this on TV) Michonne escapes and cuts the Gov to shreds, but he lives.

Rick & Co escape Woodbury with the help of someone (who later turns on them) and go back to warn everyone else about the Gov and Woodbury)..

That is pretty much how I see season 3, based on the comics

Have they stopped writting the comics? I've read all 94 issues and if 94 is the final issue then I'm disappointed

Sounds great! But knowing the writers and going by seasons 1 and 2 they will change how/when the things happen.

EDIT:

I just hope they have some more scenes where they have Hershel in god mode again!!!!!! :D

Care to elaborate?

I don't see how it's such a big deal, just means he had to use his other hand to hold a gun, based on the other limbs that get cut off the other characters, I highly doubt they're going to incorporate it into the tv series. After all, Dale was supposed to lose his leg like he did in the comic and they completely ignored that in the tv series

It's a big deal to the dynamic of the character and makes the reader/watcher question their investment in any given person as no one is safe and anything can happen. I remember when i read it and it literally made me think about how i would cope if i lost my main hand.
It's bad enough losing a limb and learning to readjust, but doing so in the middle of a zombie apocalypse? It's relevant imho :)
 
Ok, I think you're reading far too much into it lol

I would say Carl losing his eye or Lori and Judy dying is more important
 
Wait what?!

I've not read any of the comics, but I've heard the prison arc is great!

Everyone seems hyped for Michonne finding Andrea though wish they'd explain the two "pet" zombies a bit better than the walkers decide they can't do much just and accept it haha

Thought I'd best spoiler!
I've read The Walking Dead - Rise of the Governor and the back story is nothing at all like the character in next season. So is it completely different Governor? If so kind of ruins the books a bit! Though looking forward to the return of Merle

You can take your patronising nature and we'll agree to disagree, either way it'll be interesting to see if they implement it in S3 :D

Sorry, don't mean to be patronising, just my opinion mate, a lot more happens in the comics that I would consider more impact full, like character deaths, and new relationships

Ah no worries, i see where you're coming from and dont disagree, just think that Kirkman put it in the comics for good reason, to unsettle the reader :)
 
They won't have the budget for all the special effect limb losses and what not lol. No matter how bad the acting is I am always drawn to the show though, it feels much different form anything else on TV.

Wait until you see season 3, I hear on good authority that there will be a Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashion and Rhianna guest staring as zombies (well we can hope)
 
Not sure i'll even bother with S3, s2 bored the pants out of me. Theres only so much 'suspense' you can handle and when something did happen it wasnt of epic enough proportions to entertain me. Demanding, much?!

You haven't got a clue what is going to happen in season 3 as much as anyone else on the internet speculating.

As you well know they have not stuck to the same story lines at all really.

I find it amusing how you are the expert on everything TWD because you have read the comics!

You do realise they will probably change most scenarios to keep the TV series fresh? Would be pretty pointless if they followed the comics :p

...Don't tell me that you actually believed me when I said Paris and Kim where going to be in it? really? I mean really?

I never said I was an expert at all, but it's kind of obvious the direction that they're going purely because A) The Govenor's been cast already, B) Michonne appears at the end C) the Prison is the final shot

So yeah they might change parts, I mean in the comic, Dale doesn't die for ages and shane dies a lot earlier. But it's highly likely they'll keep the basics the same.

No, it really wouldn't, it would be better if they followed the comics. Can't tell me that Transformers etc... wouldn't be better if they just made a live action version of the original concept? Admittedly, the Adam West Batman was a bit crappy, but the Nolan films would be a lot better if they stuck closer to the comics

I didn't beleive you no, you speculate as much as anyone on the internet but like to come across like you know what's going to happen.

Like your ***Season 3 OMGZ spoilers*** thread, fact is you don't anything that is going to happen becasue it's not even been filmed yet.

You just like to sound like you know what you're on about because you've read a few comics :p

Well it would because everyone would know what was going to happen.

If they were going to do that they would have just made a feature film of the story from the comics, several of the writers have said and Kirkman himself that they have to deviate from the comics to keep it all fresh.

Sorry for the way I come across, but the majority of what everyone is speculating is going to happen in some form, they are going to prison, they are going to meet the Gov, I don't see any part of what I've said in this thread that the writers will ignore.

I've simply said what happens in the comic, and what we all know already.

The only reason I said "spoilers" is because this is what happens in the comics, so for anyone who hasn't read the comics, it pretty much ruins season 3 for them, whether they show significant things in the tv series or not, the only stuff I've written about is fact. The writers themselves confirmed they're going to do the prison part, but show the part where I said this will happen exactly like this, they will meet these people, this person will die etc, etc... I haven't

A Walking Dead film would be awesome!
