The Walking Dead season 3

So last season ended with a shot of the prison quite near to wear the group were camped out and we jump six months...and they still haven't found the prison. That was a bit weird. But the time jump worked because it gave everyone time to become better at the zombie killing business. Carl was less annoying too. And at least Lori's pregnancy will be over soon...ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

That leg chopping was really graphic.

I'm glad they had the prisoners there at the end because I thought they might leave them out the show (they were in the comic) and it adds an element of human drama different from the group bickering with each other.

Andrea's still annoying, still wants to die.

GOOD EPISODE.
 
Does Andrea have the flu? Cancer? I didn't quite get what the fuck was wrong with her. I guess we're not supposed to know everything about the past six months yet, but that just came out of nowhere.
 
Happily I had just finished eating before the leg-chomping/subsequent chopping....poor old bugger.
Intro of female Tyr - with sword, naturally.
 
One question: they've theoreticaly spent six months wandering around outside the prison and getting much better at making stabbytime with zombies. They can behead and cleave skulls and chopsuey deadheads with one swing.
So when it comes time to perform an emergency amputation, why does Rick choose what must be the dullest axe in history? Holy crap it took him like twelve whacks to get that thing off there. I expected Hershel to stop screaming and say "dude you suck at this. Let the crazy mexican prisoner do it!"
Lizzie Borden thought that was excessive choppery...
 
Zombie bones are dry and brittle. Herschel's femur, which is the biggest bone in the body, was thick and tough. I doubt Rick's aim would be all that accurate each swing either considering he was charged up with adrenaline.
 
I loved this one. Mucho better than last week's.

My niece told my sister that if she was laying her head on her chest she would have an axe with her because she doesn't want to become a Walker.

She's 8. And yes, she watches it.

Anyways, I think I might have a clue as to who's watching what's her name while she disects that zombie woman. I don't want to spoil it for anybody though.

Karl is still a twat.

I think for the sake of believability one would assume that (1) all weapons would be kept VERY sharp in a world full of zombies that can only die from a direct smashing of brain matter and (2) a world where pinpoint accuracy on the first swing is the difference between life or death and (3) a time period set after a harrowing several month period in which the SEASONED TRAINED POLICE OFFICER would have faced hundreds of such situations where quick and calm-under-pressure reaction would be needed, and (4) would instinctively know even under the worst circumstances that taking a leg off at the kneecap, aka "nature's lightbulbs" would be much easier, cleaner and less relatively destructive that playing hacky hack with a solid support bone like the femur. Especially since time would theoretically be of the essence while zombi saliva was coursing toward the main femoral veins and arteries to spread through the body. If that were the mode of infection youd have seconds, not minutes.

Besides all that: if the people are already infected, it would seem like chopping a leg would hasten, not delay, the inevitable. Now he's much more likely to die, and when he does he's still a walker. They should have plugged ol' Hershel and moved on.
 
He's seasoned at crushing zombie egg shell skulls, not chopping at a friend's living flesh.

It's pretty unlikely that an old guy in an already weakened condition from malnutrition and exhaustion would survive field surgery under the best of conditions, so yeah, he would have been dead in the real world. But this is the magical world of zombie apocalypse so we're blessed with Scott Wilson's presence for another season.
 
I don't even like Lori and I was still yelling at her to stop giving mouth to mouth to what I was convinced was now a zombie. Very good episode!

If I had any complaint it'd be that they killed off too many of the prisoners. Or not enough. It was interesting having a largish group of new characters, but with only two now they don't pose any tensiony threat. May as well have killed them all.
 
they always kill seemingly interesting characters off quickly. Like those two guys in the bar last season. But THEN AGAIN it as good how we didn't have six episodes of the prisoner plotting to kill Rick and Rick agonising on if he should kill him first and instead Rick just killed him twenty minutes after meeting him.
 
Lol wacky that's what I was thinking. Almost word for word.
On the other hand, all continuity holes asides, it's a very good show. As opposed to last night's American Horror Story which was so awful I had to leave the room. I don't know what happened to it since the supposedly amazing first year, but that might be the worst-written show I've ever seen.
 
Was that not the weirdest AHS? And that's saying something. It's nothing like last season, and I'm so confused that they have the same actors but they're different characters. GRRRRR.

I never saw the first year so I didn't get the awesome buzz of it or the jarring effect of character switches (which seems to bug everyone). But I was watching the first two weeks with all the shit they were throwing in there, and I kept thinking of this horror parody I watched where they just kept addkng evil things to a place until it was ludicrous. There is, at last count: an evil nun, a mad scientist, an asylum of lunatics, a serial killer, corrupt government, monster animal-people in the woods, UFO's, conspiracy kidnapping theories...and now the devil shows up. Whatever happened to indian burial ground? Is that week three? Wrongfully burned witchcurse couldn't be worked into that mess?

Worst hour of tv I've seen this year.

That show started out so good... the very first episode where he discovered the brothers were sealed in a Tupperware equivalent each night to keep them young was brilliant. The show kind of went downhill about mid season but it was sharp and funny till then.
 
I haven't seen it since I was a kid, but I reckon it's one of the few shows that would actually still hold up pretty well. Unfortunately the spin-off show "The Other Dimension" lacked whatever spark the original had.
 
I'll go back and watch the first season but I'm taking as pass on the rest of this one. Not enough hours in the day to waste on bad tv.
