The Walking Dead season 3

Here's my issue. If they try a frontal assault on the gates, that's just dumb. Sneaking in, between some buildings or in through the sewer... that's ingenuity.
 
I expect they'll sneak in, perhaps unleashing any captive walkers to slow down attempts to chase after them. I do kind of worry about all the families in there though. They don't know the Governor's a loony.
 
Our heroes wouldn't purposely try to hurt the innocent townsfolk but there's always a lot of collateral damage with Rick around. It's gonna be a bloodbath.

They only have 70-ish people there. How many guys were in on the raid against the Army remnants? Do they have families? Do they keep the lunacy a secret? I don't think it's really all that possible. They know the Gubner is shady. They have to. Of course, they could just be a town of potential red-shirts-in-waiting, like all the LOST people without tarps or last names.
 
is the Guv in denial about his daughter being a zombie? She's not interested in any thing but that bowl o' brains....
 
Not everyone got to see the CDC brain scan that the main survivor party did.

It's obvious the people in this town are ALL clinging to some sick problem or hope that the zombies will just turn out to be sick "like the doc thought" before he was shown otherwise.
 
I have no idea why I just put that in quotes.

I think it might be that I'm buzzed, in anticipation of this new episode.
 
Yeah, it was pretty fucking good. It's been a while since a TV show could get my heart pounding like that.

There were some down moments, mostly for dramatic effect, to cut up the suspense.

Axel hitting on the single women was mildly amusing, if not simultaneously creepy.

One major nitpick was the gunfight at the bus wall. All those rounds wasted and there isn't a bloodbath!? Yea, it's smoky, but most of those guys were firing automatic weapons. Daryl and Merle were both holding full-auto weapons and didn't hit squat. Those guys are THE best shots on the show. How is it that they both went through multiple magazines, pulling a spray-n-pray, and not hit one guy? Were they trying to miss a lot because they both knew their brothers were on the opposite sides?

Adrea had Oscar dead to rights with a 9mm at about 50'. She's a good shot, too. She couldn't manage to hit a big ol' black dude moving slowly, at full-profile.

It took some random moron with a shotgun to finally shoot the biggest guy after he did the classic action/horror movie mistake and stood on the bus in the middle of a gunfight. I was thinking "yep, time for someone to get shot!" Sure enough, Terminator-style some nobody with a 12ga puts one in Oscar's gut.

I had to look this up as to why Rick paused after shooting Oscar's killer, but apparently he had a hallucination of Shane? Wut?

These people are supposedly the most badass people in the zombiverse; and a gunfight with automatic weapons at pretty close range nets a total of maybe five deaths? One for the good guys, four-ish for the bad guys. It's an even badguy:goodguy ratio, but that was just terrible.

Suspenseful, but terrible.

Seriously, though, a zombie bone shiv? Glenn keeps finding new and improved ways to be a hardcore motherfucker. Think about it for a second. You get stabbed anywhere with that bone, and you're gonna turn. That's like walking around with a poisoned knife. Only it's made of a bone that you ripped out of some dead zombie you killed in a brass-balls grudgematch.
 
Don't even get me started on the whole Governor vs Michonne heavyweight bout.

I will admit that I had a fairly large smirk on my face when Michonne pincushioned Penny. That was pretty cool. That bitch is stone-cold samurai.
 
When the show started last night, I had to double-check to make sure I was on the right station.

It was pretty good. I'm still sick of Andrea and her idiocy when it comes to the Governor. Sure he has this Jim Jones thing going for him, but the heads in the fish tanks should have been enough to want to make her get the fuck outta dodge. I'd brave the zombies before staying there one more minute.

Creepy prison dude hitting on the 17 year old. What exactly is he in jail for I wonder.

My dad told me when the zombies finally attack, he too will stock up on huge swords so he can cut fuckers heads off. I <3 that man.

I guess Michone would assume that was a normal girl in the cage, but didn't she hear her growling and grunting? I would think her Spidey senses would have gone off.
 
The Mcihonne/Governor fight was good until Andrea showed up and Michonne failed to say "he killed the national gurad, sent people to kill me, keeps zombie heads in a tank and has little zombie girl in his closet!" and opted to just walk away instead.

NEW BLACK GUY SO KILL THE ONE WE HAVE.

Glen and Maggie are the best characters. And Carl.

The cliffhanger felt completely tacked on and I'm PRETTY SURE it's all a set up and he hasn't really turned on Merle and it's so Daryl will trust him and then etc.
 
The new people was a little left field for a MID SEASON FINALE FINALE FINALE!! but I guess they need to stock up on red shirts for when the prison gets attacked by the Guvna.

The gun battles really did require a suspension of disbelief, but they could've solved that by adding more smoke. You could tell that some of it was added in post production already, they just needed up the opacity level. I know the gang are used to shooting at dumb, fairly predictable and slow moving zombies, but with the visibility level they had they shouldn't have had much trouble picking off people who for some reason were standing bolt upright.

If Michonne could talk as well as she can swing a sword she wouldn't get in so many tight spots.

Lesbian. Hah. I suppose Carol cut her hair like that to make her husband find her less attractive?

When Rick gets back to the prison is Carl gonna stand outside with his hands on his hips and declare that there's a new sheriff in town?

Over all another very good episode. Pity about those less realistic bits, but nothing's perfect.
 
In the comics Tyreese (the new black guy) is a major character and becomes almost as key to the group as Rick. No guarantees in the TV version, but I'm thinking he'll be a leader figure while Rick continues to melt down. Meanwhile, I don't predict happy endings for Andrea, the white prison dude, Merle, and either carol or the teenage girl Carl is hot for. Tyreese and the other girl (who is likely his daughter) will stay, but the two who came with them are redshirts.
 
Oh I forgot that Merle lied to the Governor about killing Michonne, so I guess that's why he thinks Merle is a traitor. Still a bit fishy though.
 
@ Conchaga: well that explains the extreme cliffhangeriness....so many bloody shows have them now I've lost track
