Walking Dead - Season 3

[CasterTroy]

it was good, but seems like a throw away episode as well since we dont realy see anything withthe governor and the impending battle.

The talking dead hit on that, and said the producers wanted to bring him back much earlier but he's a busy man. He was unable to fit TWD into his schedule any earlier. Also...like Rick he's British. And they showed an interview with him him on the set. Freaked me out like it Did learning Rick was British as hell.

This episode was meant to sort of bring "closure" to what happened to Morgan as well as show Rick what can happen when you push people away like Morgan has (you go fookin nuts)

This episode was well timed in the fact that it makes Rick now seem less nuts compared to Morgan, but also a wake-up call FOR Rick to see what could happen if he continues on the path to nutsville. What you'll see now is a more clear and decisive leader, and Michone now having a more trustworthy and integral part in the team.

The dead hitchiker was also critical in showing the transformation of Rick from a "saver" to a "survivor". he's no longer out to serve and protect as his officer training has taught him, but instead to be a protector of what he HAS currently and that's it.

[tommymac]

guess I should have watched the talking dead too, skipped that on the DVR. I kinda figured that they used the show more for character development than anything else. ZI thought he may be more likely to bring in some people since he will need bodies for his fight with the governor.

Being its like a year out since things startred many of hte survivors are going to go a litlte nuts to varying degrees. Some will realize being a scavenger will only get you so far. If theres no government or village to save people you will have to start living off the land and hunt and farm to survive.

What I find odd too is why they dont kill all the walkers outside the fences, thats a known and viable threat that can be easily eliminated so why not draw them to the fence and just kill them?

[LeeNetworX]

I wonder if the hitch hiker was still alive if they would have picked him up on the way back.

I don't think so. They didn't even think twice when they passed him the first go around. I think they have all grown to fear the living must more than the dead. It takes a lot to trust people in a world such as they are living in.

[LeeNetworX]

Also...like Rick he's British.

Is he? I thought he was Australian. Anyway, I like the guy that plays Morgan; he was really good in Jericho.

They all seemed to be changed people going back, plus michone was driving and it seems like shes becomming part of the group and is def a person who can earn their keep. Plus she was out on th eroad by herself for a long time so i ma sure she can sympathize with him to an extent.

Last night's Talking Dead was almost as cool as the damn episode. :dthumb:

I've tried watching Talking Dead but it's too boring and the guests the get are generally idiots.

Due to budget cuts, American shows set in the South can no longer afford actual Southern American actors. When they were talking about how Glenn had become such a badass and she said "That's what a good woman can do for you!" I cracked up.

While also endearing

She was born in Philly.

[Adeptus_Minor]

She was born in Philly.

So she's a Pennsylvania-born Aussie who does a damn good Georgian farm-girl voice?
Makes perfect sense to me.

There are an awful lot of people who do accents, that aren't their native one. Andrew Lincoln ("Rick") is English, for example. Former "Fringe" hottie Anna Torv is Australian (and reasonably intelligent, belying her blood relation to that dick Rupert Murdoch).

The requirement that the actors be able to read a script is also a big problem.

You misread my agreement. :wink: I'm well aware of how adaptable many foreign actors are. On the whole, I'd say noticeably surpassing the poor attempts a lot of American actors make at the reverse.

As cheap shots go, that was dollar store on double-coupons day :whistle: :lol:

[tommymac]

interesting episode def setting the stage for an exciting finale. Andrea has been annoying as hell but now almost feel bad for her since shes in the governors torture chamber. Not sure if any of you noticed when he wa slining up his "tools" but he had a metal speculum in there. Guess hes going to give her a pap smear while hes at it LOL.

[CasterTroy]

Talking dead had some interesting points.

The Gov's not in it for death. He's all about keeping you alive and trapped like a rat! (see daughter, walkers, even the towns people)

You noticed the thread and hook for stitches? Maybe he's gonna "open her up" and cut her good, then sew the wound up :tremble:

Sick bastage! :rockwoot: But damn I'd take JOY in seeing Andrea tortured. Just for that "look" she gives coupled with the squinted eyes and head swivel she does when she's giving a smart-ass retort. That's my ex-wife up one side and down the other. So it'll be easy for me to imagine Andrea having dark hair and big tits receiving what I've imagined in my head for years :lol:

I was wondering about that too, that was a huge ass needle/thread there. Stuff we use is much smaller Also liked the bone saw and that funnel device. He def was ready to have some fun.

I see him as a control freak but is hard to read as to what his agendas are at times. I think milton may crack and be the one to kill him, hes the only one who could save andrea anyway, no one else knows shes there and I am sure he will find out sooner or later. I think hes the one who supplied the gas for the zombie BBQ as well.

[Papa_Complex]

Needle and thread for Andrea? No one realizes that it to SEW HER BIG MOUTH SHUT?!

.... or maybe something lower down, since she can't seem to keep her legs together.

Just watched the season 3 finale. What happened? Did they get someone else to write the finale over their coffee break? It was all over the place in pacing, feel and was pretty implausible at a few times. Pretty much sucked.

A few flash bangs and the alarm scared all of those people away? Really? And not one person standing by watching the governor massacre those people had the balls to shoot him (even in his back)? Meh.

They are going to bring the Governor back... I have a feeling he's going to be the leader of The Saviors in a couple of seasons or The Hunters next season...

Also, you gotta remember, those weren't soldiers with The Governor... and if they were, they weren't the first choice or the best. When Merle ran his suicide mission, he killed off Woodbury's best (and inexplicably yoked) soldiers. Creepy prison, unfamiliar territory, zombies, and now some flashing lights, sirens, and flash bangs... "why are we doing this again? fuck this, I'm out." A couple of days before this, these people were tending gardens and milling about town like the world hadn't ended.

I kept thinking The Governor was going to get shot by one of those guys after he mowed down the others, but he's too cool of a character to go out that way. Like I said, he'll be back and hopefully he gets off'ed in dramatic fashion.

The thing that really got me was the shit with Andrea... hey, let's spend 10 minutes of our 40 minute season finale watching the dumbest fucking character in the history of television stare at a guy who's dying instead of trying to save herself... then let's expect her suicide to be something dramatic and sad. I'm pretty sure around 9:58pm EST on March 31 2013 if you shut off your TV and opened a window, you'd hear all of America saying "it's about fucking time you killed that idiot!"

[OneSickPsycho]

Oh and anyone else think that Daryl is kinda Andrea from the comics? Good soldier for Rick, provides insight every now and again, and above all... isn't a total worthless fucktard doing everything possible to fuck things up.

That's an interesting way to look at it.

I was hoping that they would let Andrea redeem herself and turn her into the character she can be. But I guess they decided to just let her die as a moron. It's too bad. The show could have used a female sniper.

All in all, the finale was pretty weak. I understand they want to make a somewhat different story than the comics, but they need to remember one important thing: The comics are awesome. So, straying too far from their story might not be such a good idea.

The whole prison arc in the comics took damn near two years to get through so it's not a bad idea if they spread it over 2 seasons I guess. The order of events is certainly all over the place though. I'm kind of interested to see how they will finally be driven from the Prison and if the Governor will have anything to do with it. He will obviously be back at some point.

EXACTLY...well to everything you said..but this especially

She should have died in season one. I hated the bitch when she was in the bottom level of the store in ATL and had a gun. And they had to kill Milton? Man DAMN! I wanted him to rise up and assassinate the gov.

Why did rick not take the army truck and expedition?

How do the comics have them leaving the prison? Also...how does the Gov die in the comics?

I almost felt bad for andrea in the end, even though I was calling for her to be killed asap like everyone else.

I was figuring milton would kill the governor, but I bet the governor will be pissed when he gets home and sees everyones gone. I think now he may be more dangerous since its more or less him, martinez and that black guy, not even sure if he has a name. I would have figured they would try to take over woodburry, seems like they have a lot more resources there than the prison.

[Papa_Complex]

I don't think that The Governor is going home. I pretty much killed every able bodied fighter in town except for the two most loyal, who were also apparently wondering if they should blow him away.

He pretty much killed the town already.

I think he will want to go back to see what happened with andrea. it was like th eold batman scenarios, locking them away with a slow means of killing them, thus giving ample time adn opportunity to escape. I never realy pictured the governor as a true survivalist though so i am wondering how he will do forraging around like the others have.

You can forage, or you can go around killing other people and taking their stuff. The Guv strikes me as #2 (in more ways than one).

I can see that esp since that was what he was doing anyway. Untill hes confirmed dead I dont think ricks group could move forward on anything, an dnow they have to feed and shelter a lot more people who realy arent that capable of fighting oir offering too much in terms of survival.

They're bodies that can stand watch, repair fences, and grow food. They're also 'ablative armour', for when walkers get inside the fence.

Good question about those vehicles... though, I stopped asking really specific questions like that a long time ago... it's TV, I never expect the best decisions or logical thought.

In the comics, the Gov is killed when Woodbury attacks the prison... he shoots Laurie and the baby Judith and horrified, one of his own shoots him and he's eaten by walkers... I assume that's the same character in the TV show that survived and took Rick back to Woodbury.

No doubt. That's why I think he's going to come back as a leader of one of the other 'bad' groups that Rick/Carl encounter along the way...

I dunno... After seeing that the Governor's 'army' was massacred by him, I probably wouldn't worry too much about him. And, as already mentioned, they can certainly offer something...

Like OPS said, the Governor dies in the final assault on the prison, killed by one of his own. This is what finally drives them from it too. It's a total shit show and not a lot of people are left alive after it. Which is what made the finale extra weird. Instead of most of the group dying, they pretty much doubled in size.

Well, There wouldn't be much past Season 4 if they ran out of people would there ?
