Walking dead season 3

[Bronn]

First line is a bold statement.

A LOT of people disagree with it, actually.

Wasn't Martinez in the back?

A large number of the people who DON'T like it right now, probably have more of an idea of what Walking Dead is about than those who like it. The problem with the Gov is they ruined him many shows before the finale, to the point where he wasn't that interesting as a villain, and no one cared if he survived etc. Same with Andrea. Most people hate both characters, and then you have a finale where you kill over the most hated character (sans Lori, maybe)? Then you have Rick not learning ANYTHING from the first 3 seasons and loading up a bunch of strangers on a bus and taking responsibility for them? It comes down to AMC trying to extend this show for a ton of seasons and also the constant changes with show runners, etc. This show can't find an identity, it changes each 5-7 episodes. In the end, people are upset because they have squandered so much potential for an amazing show.

TBQH the only way they can salvage my waning respect for the show is by either starting season 4 as being months and months, maybe even almost a year, after the end of season 3. The group has left the prison, or is getting ready to, because most of the Woodbury refugees have been killed/died off because of age or something...Maybe they are just going to give the survivors the prison and Woodbury to do with what they will, but Rick's group decides to move on in search for a safer place. Also, we'll need to see the Governor get into a car crash (Martinez and Ed Reed dead in their seats) and crawl out of an overturned vehicle only to be mobbed by a horde of walkers and ripped limb from limb.

Or something along those lines...

I don't really care for the group to remain at the prison. I want the Governor dead. Both of these things need to happen FAST.

I kinda really want Judith dead too, as dark as that seems, but this really is Rick and Carl's story.

shows have a life time! you don't want to end up like Lost and The Sopranos!

The prison was a great idea for them and a good storyline, but it appears that all the interesting shots and plot devices it offers have been explored, so yeah, lets move on.

But I disagree with Zaximus takeaway regarding letting the strangers in, that seems to be the entire point of Ricks arc this season - that shutting off his humanity has proven more disastrous for the group.What good is survival in and of itself?

To me, not being a comic reader, it seems that all they've done is taken what has been described as a totally evil villain from the get go and gave him a backstory that he became evil from which is going to make him more interesting long term instead of just some crazy killer pirate guy.

I must be an easy target for this show, as the only real bitch of mine I can recall is the farm episode from last season where they felt compelled to put in the well zombie so we'd still know the end of the world was going on during the episode.

to be honest, i've often wondered while reading the comics, if rick isn't the true villain in the story

[Bronn]

I thought about starting a thread for it, but I am really starting to buy into the conspiracy theory that Rick is still in a coma and all of this is just a terrible dream... That, or he died in the shooting that put him into the hospital, and he's in some sort of purgatory.

Man, that would suck... I hate that kind of storyline.

[Bronn]

I can totally see how it would be true though... A lot of the characters in the comics have biblical names... Some of the injuries sustained are a little supernatural... a lot of the time the group's lengthier travels are basically skipped over and happen off-page/off-screen...

If you think about dreams/post-body experiences people describe moving from one place to another in a "changing scenes" type fashion... or those they know and love interacting with them in their dream/after they are clinically dead...

It's just a theory...

Oh it makes perfect sense, I just wouldn't like it...

The governor should have been killed by his own redshirts.

[lightsout]

They have 8 episodes to kill the Governor and get out of the prison, as well as dive into a couple new characters in preparation of losing one or two significant ones in the last battle with the Governor. I want the last half of the season to be a bit more transitional for season 5 to snap necks with The Saviors storyline, honestly.
