The Walking Dead season 3

It was certainly a well rounded little bottle episode. I liked Carl and Michonne's story and it was a nice surprise to see Thingy back again, but extended Rick scenes don't really do it for me.

Poor hitchhiker dude. :(
 
It's a shame they can't get Morgan as a regular character (I think the actor's too busy.)

Michonne actually seemed like a proper character in this one!
 
Yes, Michonne's finest hour was rescuing that precious... Whatever it was. It'll really brighten up the prison.
 
...and back to boredom this week.

The Rick/Governor scenes just went on and on and then in the end...they just decide to kill each other anyway.

The scene with Hershel talking to Smithers and the Maggie/Glen sex scene were good, but it was just a filler episode.

And Andrea told the Governor that Lori had an affair with Shane? What a bitch.
 
I wasn't bored, but it was 95% less action packed than the trailer last week made out.

Some of the Rick and Governor scenes were quite similar to the Rick and Thingy scenes last week. Particularly when the Guv highlighted that his wife and child were both dead. Anyway, not much tension since we knew they'd both make it out without a scratch and the actual negotiation didn't go down many avenues.

No one seems to be considering just hitting the road again. I reckon I'd choose that over a fight with the guy with the eye patch and collection of heads.

Hah. Andrea.

The sex scene was fun. They're such a nice couple. But I kept mistaking their groans for approaching zombies.
 
Well he looked like a set up for a trap the first time (how did he end up on his own, why didn't he take one of the many empty cars?) and the second time he came screaming at them in the middle of a zombie attack. But on the other hand since he ended up dead at the end he probably was just a harmless simpleton.

They seemed to be going for "RICK IS JUST AS BAD AS THE GOVERNOR" which I find kind of lazy and would prefer to see more of a struggle to try to keep some kind of ethics (within reason) in this horrible world but WHATEVS.
 
it is a horrible world.. every week I start watching it with the minions and have to leave before the end...so the poor hitchhiker ended up dead, then , damn.
(I'd hoped he'd show up ten episodes later and shoot them all in the legs and let the zombies catch them. oh well).
 
They saw him dead at the side of the road at the end of the episode. Then took his backpack.

They should have kept him in it for the rest of the series, always showing up just as they're leaving some place.
 
The scene with Andrea and the Governator in the building was well done with the creepy music and sound effects. But then the Governator uses his magical teleportation powers to appear behind Andrea at the prison and it's pretty stupid.

The hook for next week is "tune in to see Andrea get tortured!"
 
The cat and mouse scenes were very tense and well filmed, but I was completely distracted by questions of how the hell the Governor was supposed to have known where she was. The first time in the field was pretty unlikely, but ok, I guess he just happened to see her as he was driving past the field. People would be very attuned to noticing shambling figures in their peripheral vision, so that's not beyond belief. But then he guesses that she'll go inside the building, rather than merely walking around it, or having changed direction at some point. And then he manages to find her at the prison, which is probably the least unlikely encounter of the bunch, since he knew she was going there at least.

Anyway, the line of the episode was Andrea asking Michonne "you wanna talk about it?" No, Andrea. This is Michonne.
 
Didn't Rick decide last week that he wasn't going to hand over Michonne because it would be wrong (and the Governator would kill them all anyway?) But this week he's all "let's hand over Michonne lol" until Lori's Ghost talks him out of it?

It's just annoying when characters seem to get moved around by the plot rather than characters moving the plot. Like with Merle. Yeah, his death scene was really good, well acted, well directed, well shot, thrilling...but he's been an utter shit up until now. So the "MAYBE HE'S NOT SO BAD" bit didn't ring totally true. Maybe if they'd shown some sing of it earlier, but in show time he was being racist about Mexicans about four days ago. Still, good scene...

Of course since Merle was, it turns out, a tactical genius who managed to kill eight of the Governors' men by himself, if he'd only teamed up with Rick, Daryl and Michonne they could have killed all of them.
 
It wasn't exactly boring, but it was a frustrating episode to watch. We knew Rick would eventually back out of the plan, as he always does, so that was a good 20 minutes of tensionless tension wasted. And we could be fairly sure Merle wouldn't do it either.

I agree, what was most annoying were all the missed opportunities for them to work together. When Merle decided to let Michonne go I expected them to hatch a plan to make it look like he was delivering her to the Governor, only for them both to attack, or something of that nature. But she just got out of the car and stood.

Merle's attack was pretty cool, though.
