The Walking Dead Season 3

What a let down. I agree with what others have said. The writing has just been off this season. I really hope the writers get replaced or miracousley get their stuff together. I'll give it another three episodes into next season. I could see no reason for keeping the Governor around another season with how poorly things have played out this season. Cripes.

I'm glad I have the comics. Unbelievable.

The writers WERE replaced. Scott Gimble will be the headwriter next season.
 
I think this whole episode should have been titled "DAMN CARL!" :lol

I have more problem with Rick leaving the helpless backpacker to be eaten alive than Carl shooting an armed attacker. Take no prisoners. Good job Carl!

Same here. The kid was there to kill them, no question. The backpacker, as was pointed out, needed help and could have been an engineer, doctor, etc. I think if you are thinking practically about survival, then Carl did the right thing. He's also right that Rick should have killed the Governor when he had the chance. Morally though, if you're Rick, you have to draw the line at killing a surrendering enemy. So it depends on your point of view. I think Rick has to teach Carl the difference between what you need to survive and what you do as a human being.
 
About Carl shooting that guy... (Spoiler tag added since I am referring to events taking place later in the comic.

I wonder if it was meant to allude to that scene in the comic when he gets up in the night to shoot that kid? (His name escapes me). Sort of the same thing... was seeing him as a threath so got rid of him.

Hershel was right, the kid was just scared out of his mind. He wouldn't have been stupid enough to try and take Carl's gun, not with 2 other people pointing guns at him. Unless he thought he could quickly shoot at them after taking Carl's gun.
 
I wonder if the reason they left Woodbury is because it would take more people to man the walls. We only saw two walls in Woodbury, but there has to be more as big as it was and with the Gov on the loose you'd want all the walls manned all the time. Between the two groups there are only 8 or 9 able-bodied adults left(depends on if we count Carl), so if we guess there are 4 barriers (one on each end of the town and a cross street) they wouldn't be able to have 1 person on each barrier each doing an 8 hour shift. The prison on the other hand, seems to only require one or two people to watch. Also with Tyreese at the prison they should be able close up the hole that his group originally got in through.

Another thought I had:
In season 1 episode 3 or 4, the one where Glenn steals the red car and Rick gets the others out of Atlanta in the box truck, we are shown walkers climbing a chain link fence to get at Rick and Glenn. If walkers could climb a fence then, why aren't they climbing the fence of the prison? They wouldn't afraid of the barbed wire or razor wire at the top of the fence. So, unless zombies are afraid of heights it doesn't make sense that they simply walk into it rather than climbing it like they did in season 1.
 
I was totally disapointed in the finale. I mean really Andrea, c'mon now, dudes dying right infront of you, pick the dam plyers up and free yourself. She had more than enough time. Plus I didnt understand the whole thing with Carl shooting that kid and being so disrespectful to Rick. He's a little kid, not a badass.
 
we too were disappointed with the finale.
I dunno, just isn't as entertaining as it used to be...and we really enjoyed sitting down and watching the previous two seasons.
But the mid-season break...the commercials...the show just seemed so boring with the exception of 5 minutes worth of action.
We didn't even watch the show since the Morgan episode(which btw we really liked)...despite the Morgan episode, well...the show just wasn't that important to us anymore and we only happened to watch the finale because we were all in the same room and figured what the heck.
The Milton/Andrea monopoly of the finale was annoying to sit through...just get the plyers and get out of the cuffs already, jeez.

Finale = meh

Not one bit interested in Season 4
 
Guess I can chime in now the season is over:


As an episode it was decent but for a finale it was pretty bad. But a couple things did come out of it.

Karen is now part of the prison group and will be made a supporting member of the team.
Tyreese is back with the prison group finally!
Andrea is dead....finally!


As for season 4, expect a few things....

Filming starts May 6th (I may or may not post filming updates this season since what happened last season.)
Crews are already down in Senoia working same at Raleigh Studios (Prison location)
Don't expect them to be at the prison for long in the season
Majority of the 4th season will be getting back to walkers being the most important threat.
Possible herd might be making its way to the prison which could force them to leave in a hurry ;)
 
Seems legit

You should be interested in Season 4 if you liked the Morgan episode. The guy who wrote the Morgan episode will be the head writer for Season 4.

If someone attacks my group with guns during a zombie apocalypse, there is no surrender. What are they going to do? Go through that same drama they went through with some wanting to execute their last prisoner? you can't take chances in this new world, and you should be prepared to face immediate consequences for your actions. That kid was part of a group attacking and Carl took him out.

I have more sympathy for the backpacker they abandoned.

Herschel has been annoying lately. Don't like him. Now that Andrea is gone, he is on his way to becoming the new Andrea, meaning the annoying character I want to die.
 
Carl saved at least 3 episodes of dramatic arguments by pulling the trigger and eliminating Randall 2.0.... now we can get on with life.

I don't think they could live at Woodbury, because of the horror that they dealt with there on a personal level. What Glenn and Maggie were out through, Andrea offing herself, Daryl finishing off zombie Merle, etc.
Too many bad memories.

They live in a world where people get torn apart by monsters on a daily basis. I think they could learn to live with a few bad memories when you've got fresh air, bright lights, nice groomed yards and gardens as opposed to scorched concrete walls, no lights, no real ammenities.

Yah I've wondered if the plumbing works in the prison. If not, do they just "go" in the cafateria freezer like the other prisoners did?
 
Those were different situations I think. The guy they took prisoner was a member of the gang that drew on Rick. If he escaped he could lead the gang back to the farm. The boy that Carl shot was just a frightened citizen of Woodbury that thought he was fighting terrorists, when he learned what their Governor was really like, I doubt they'd have to worry about his loyalty. I think it just show's Carl's ability to analyze situations, being just a kid, are not as developed as Hershel's, through no fault of his own.

As for town or prison, I'd go with prison too. It's literally a fortress , not a vast area surrounded by boards and car tires. Sure it kept zombies out, but it was crap at keeping people out.
 
I will be watching the finale again, but I am struggling to see how the Governor is going to make a dent in the prison now, seeing as he killed most of his own cannon fodder.
