US: The Walking Dead Season 3 (contains spoilers)

Yeah it was kind of odd to see Rick hold off 2-3 zombies with only a bit of a struggle. Perhaps they are weakening though? Also it was kind of ridiculous that guy standing on a watch tower and only getting shot once, it should have been more like the last scene in Scarface :p Also I can only assume that the Gov didn't actually want to kill them all but make them scared and show them who's boss and then hit them again.
 
I don't think the governor actually wanted to kill them all, simply to make them suffer and take away their "safe zone" as otherwise he would have obviously killed more if he really wanted, he had the element of surprise, organisation, man and fire power. If his agenda was to kill them all then he wouldn't have left so soon.

Recoil has never been a part of this show, only Rick's handgun seems to have recoil :p

Also maggie doesn't seem to have the best shot as shown in the last episode with shooting Haley and again when under fire by someone who has the high ground (as well as the other guys shooting at them) it would be pretty difficult to get a good shot.

Rick didn't drop the hand gun, he kept it and used it against walkers as a melee weapon. He dropped the assault weapon as he had no ammo and carrying it would only get in the way, slow him down plus it's not like he could do anything with it anyway.

Yup that was a bit stupid, however, if it weren't for Merle and Daryl, they would have bit him, remember T-dog was able to hold two back for about 5-10 seconds before getting bit and he had a chunk of his shoulder torn out. And these walkers are rotting away, they are dead after all, so muscles etc. will be wasting away.

I would say that it is much harder to get "perfect headshots" when they are under fire by a group of people (with heavy firepower too, not just pistols......), of which they don't know where exactly they and how many there are, getting headshots on walkers is no problem since they are slow, can't attack/kill you unless they are literally right in your face thus you don't panic/worry as much.

Walkers have never been a danger by themselves or in a small group in the open but when in a large group enclosed somewhere i.e. like when they were taking the prison then that is where they are extremely dangerous.

I thought it was realy good, I think you are taking the "its not real enough" a bit too far. It is a tv show about zombies ffs. Look at all the zombie movies they all have different zombies, some fast some slow, some pathetic some bad. The best zombies was the 28 days later because they ran and would break down doors etc. These zombies remind me of the slow zombies from the dawn of the dead. The only time they are realy a threat is when you get over run, when you run out of ammo and fall down on the ground or something happens like that. As for wasting assault weapon ammo, I agree. They should all be expert swords man by now and just run around like ninjas chopping off heads ?? I do think though that they could put more thought in to things, but that is always the case in tv shows/movies. It is also based on a comic book so it is only ever going to be real to certain extent. I don't think it is cheesy, but if govner wanted to finish them off he had a great chance to just sit their and snipe them all, they had ran out of weapons etc. But they decide to drive away only to be killed in the next episode...

But i still think it is a great show, probably best on tv at the moment. Realy intense and acting is good. I have not read the comics so have no idea which direction it is going to go.
 
Yup, unfortunately you can't win. Some people just want non stop action like l4d and others want it to be more realistic in some areas. Neither of which would work for a TV show, imo AMC have got the pace etc. just perfect for this season.

And has been stated many many times before, this show isn't just about zombies and headshots, gruesome kills etc. but it is largely about the characters and how they are having to change/adapt to this new world. Just look at how the characters started out in season 1 and now look at them, completely different, Rick is no longer playing by the old rules, Daryl has actually become someone who cares about people and will even put his own life in harms way to save strangers, Glenn was a "kid" who wouldn't hurt, kill anyone, now look at him, same for pretty much every other character.
 
What's going on with the Governor's eye? I am sure it is his right eye that is damaged yet, in next week's clip above, it shows his left eye is the damaged one :confused:

Surely the writers couldn't have made that big a boo-boo.

umm, looking in a mirror?
 
Oh god please stop the hallucinations bs. I fully expect her to talking to Rick and guiding him by the end of the series, they seem to love that bs over the pond.
 
yeah im kinda expecting some magic rainbow riding unicorn **** soon :p they do need to either straighten him up or kill him off.

episode was atleast a bit more entertaining and more action. so not to bad

KILL THE GUVNOR!!!!! :p
 
No one was keeping watch, remember when everyone was in the prison planning what to do with the wall that had collapsed and best thing to do if the governor was to attack, Glenn said something like "who is keeping watch..........just great" i.e. no one, so they could have easily had tools and cut a way in.

I think I missed something, but what happenned to the group that was with them in the prison they took whilst Rick and the rest where attacking Woodberry? I heard the big black dude say " Its okay man well just leave" when Rick went off in his first breakdown", then nothing of them after that. Was that it?..they just went with nothing else form them?

LOL, yeah they are just gone, wtf :D

Pretty boring episode up til' the end. It's possible for a show to be good without action though (Breaking Bad!), so it's nothing to do with no non-stop zombie killing.

Rick's freakout was a bad idea IMO, as was this rubbish with Glen and Maggie. It's just dragging the show down.

I see Rick was able to kill zombies with his pistol whilst T-Dog was not! T-Dog never heard of pistol-whipping before? :p
 
Oh dear. I was just starting to like Rick, especially after his no nonsense skull cracking scene I thought he'd finally manned up. Guess that was a premature thought.

The only scene I watched and enjoyed was Darryl and Merl. Every other character in this show, with the exception of Rick when he's not such a puff, and Hershal when I can be bothered to listen to him, absolutely stink.

The ending was intense? No...It really wasn't.
 
I think overall they are doing a good job.

Yes there are aspects I don't particularly like (i.e. hallucinations) but overall I'm enjoying this season.

Interesting to see how the Darryl/Merl storyline will play out
 
So slow the last few episodes, waiting for something to happen...

I already know how it's going to go roughly (as I've read all the graphic novels which go very far into the future) & they have turned the Governor into a pussy-cat in the TV version.

The Lori thing is being dragged out far too long - as is the whole wood-bury thing.

They really really need to up the pace - as when you think "what happened in the last episode", I think "nothing" - apart from the pace I do still like it, but find myself tempted to fast forward some scenes (which isn't very good).

While I dont disagree, rape is a little too much to have on a tv show. It was handled well.

True, but they could have made him more sinister without doing the scene the way they did.

I dread to think how much they are going to water down Negan.
