US: The Walking Dead Season 3 (contains spoilers)

So, now that we have the US section (many thanks Thundy!) we can discuss this show earlier than before. I have left the other thread since people who wait for the UK release will want to discuss it there.

First episode was very good, and very gory (more so than usual I felt), but one thing confusing a friend and myself, was Andrea being ill. Have we forgotten something from the last season or missed something in this seasons first episode?

I didn't understand that either - hopefully it is something they will go back into in a future episode, but it really didn't make any sense! There was nothing that I remembered from the end of season 2.

I do like the new zombies though (the armoured zombies)!

Seems I have two episodes to catch up on

That was an incredibly emotional episode, actually surprised they did that - good to see though, it is shaping up to be a fantastic season.

She was shot by one of the Governor's men (a woman actually I think), and crushed the baby as she fell.

Pretty dramatic event, that helped turn the Governor's forces against him.

Seems they are changing the story quite a bit then?

Not much of a cliffhanger, but a decent episode nonetheless

I wonder where this will go now...will they go down the brutal comic route? I know they say they won't, but they certainly seem prepared to push the boundaries.

This season started off well, but it has been so so slow since the mid season break. Season 2 was a disaster IMO and I can't see the show lasting much longer. Season 1 was absolutely brilliant, I just wish they could refresh the show like that. I know they are probably saving the best for the end of this season, but it is no good if most people have already switched off.

Bring on game of thrones I say.

Just saw that, sounds good. Can't wait to see this tomorrow

CaptainRAVE · 2 Apr 2013 at 15:24

What the hell was that?

So a whole season, where basically nothing happens with little to no ending. The governor is a very good character, so they decide to drag it out for another season!

It sure pulled in good ratings, but I bet most of those people won't bother with season 4.

I am surprised they haven't tidied up the prison yet - seal the gaps, empty out the zombies? Maybe they will for the next season. The governor will be back.

I expect that when season 4 starts we'll see a new prison emerging, I imagine the gates will be sealed, and the prison fortified and also the prison cleared of any remaining zombies. Maybe they'll move to a different part or more some people into the tombs. I can't imagine everyone living in that one prison block.

Hopefully

Am I correct in thinking that this story is diverging from the comic books? Or are they just filling in a gap a little bit more that wasn't covered in the comic?

Thanks for the summary

- I think I prefer the comic book storyline tbh.
