The Walking Dead Season 3
- Thread starter MooCriket
- Start date
The phone thing wasn't done nearly as well as it was in the comics. In the comics it was only Lori and he doesn't find out for a while. Then after he figures out it is his imagination he still carries on conversations with her seeking justification for his actions.
I noticed that as well

My Dad did too. In fact, my Dad thinks the Governor suspects that Merle is lying to him about what happened.
Got the same feeling and all I can say is "ugh." Maggie is the ONLY likable female character in this whole show and if they take her down the COMPLETE Michonne route... what will be left? I mean, really? I don't even want to think about this.
BTW, to me this week was a second wasted episode. This season started so strong and I am sure it will end strong, but the middle is falling a bit flat.
Can someone explain how, if Michonne had an open wound from the gunshot, & was then covered in Walker blood & goo, was she then not infected? From what I've seen & I remember, a bite or even a scratch can cause the infection. I assumed this meant the infection was transmitted by entering the bloodstream. If I missed something, please enlighten me.

this episode was better than last weeks episode.....zombie UFC????
i was thinking of the same thing...if you watch the extended trailer for next week...she actually touches her wound with her bloody zombie hands :facepalm
....and didnt merle and michonne get zombie blood in their mouths....thought that caused infection as well....
im curious....was the voices on the phone the real actors that portrayed the characters on screen....or were they just voice overs from different actors?
Not sure about the first 3, but Andrew Lincoln said in an interview on 'The Talking Dead', that that 'Lori' was actually on the other end of the phone call, & it was filmed live. Sarah Calles was filming something up in Canada, but she took the time to go to a studio & call during filming just to give him something live to play off of. Seemed like it meant alot to him.
I saw the same preview clip where Michonne touches her leg. I find it hard to believe that the writers are letting something like this pass unnoticed. I've even wondered if they're setting up something like they did last season, when they kept coming across walkers with no bites or scratches, just to set up the reveal that everyone is a carrier.
I guess that's what years of Moffat Who & LOST will do to you. Trying to make things that seem unimportant at the time, come back to be MAJORLY important. That's what caused me to shout at the TV tonight, when Daryl walked by the door with the 'weak walker' in it. When he said they'd come back later, I knew it was Carol. :facepalm

There's been plenty of times during this show where Zombie blood has splashed into the face of one of the main characters, even Rick and by Zombie logic, once that blood enters your eye or your mouth, you're screwed, but it doesn't work like that for some reason.

Sneak peak of next weeks episode
The Walking Dead 3x07 Sneak Peek "When the Dead Come Knocking" - YouTube
It should be a good one. Sometime on Wednesday I'll post up some info on the next episode.

It might be because they are all already infected.

Right they're already infected, but I wonder how much trauma you need to recieve before you turn. If it's just a simple scratch that can turn you but removal of the infected area is all that's required, would cauterizing wounds work?
See, I thought it worked like this-
All are infected with the 're-animation' virus. You die in any way that leaves the brain intact, then you come back & turn into a walker.
If you are bitten or scratched by a walker that has already turned, then you get a feverfrom the walker's bacteria or something that eventually causes death, therefore, you turn.
Before it was revealed that all are infected, folks thought it was the attack that caused the walkers, but now they know it's just the fever that leads to death.
So by logic, if any walker contact that entered the blood stream will cause the fever, then why wouldn't contact with an open wound cause the same fever?
I guess in retrospect, almost all the rules the characters have established have in one way or another been proven to be maybe based on circumstances.
It was said that the walkers aren't interested in those that are alredy dead, but one ate Lori, & there was the one that Andrea & Daryl came across in the woods last season. He had hung himself, but the walkers had eaten his legs.
Then there's T-Dog. It looked to me like he had been gutted, but I really didn't see much damage to the skull area. He had much less damage than the bicycle girl from the first episode, but we got no indication that he was turning. Even after the guys found him, they made no attempt to destroy the brain.
Maybe that's the point. Just like it'd happen in a real situation where survivors are cut off from communicating with others, you operate on assumptions based on your experiences, but you never really have all the facts or a complete picture of the event.

Yeah, he totally caught Merle in the lie but didn't say anything. The Governor is more intelligent than to just call him in it when it's just Merle and him. He's going to bide his time. Merle is useful right now to him, it wouldn't be beneficial to kill him off yet.

As for the phone calls for Rick, they are pretty much done with but it was a nice way for Rick to get closure on Lori's death and the death of others from the group under his watch. Like I said before, I'm glad they decided to tackle this now, it's a way to get Rick back to reality. I thought it would be funny if Hershel, when asked if he could wait with Rick, then went over to the phone and pretended to start talking to someone, maybe break the ice and pretend to order a pizza?
I agree that the Gov knows that Merle lied to him, but at the same time last nights episode confirms that Merle is the same guy from way back when. He definitely thinks he's smarter than the Gov and seems to have his own agenda that will directly conflict with the Gov
