The Walking Dead Season 3

[WBE]

It's crazy how popular this show has become. I know it had a huge following for the comic but back in 2010 the show wasn't popular amongst the everyday household. Now, if I go on Facebook anytime on Sunday, everyone is talking about it. Good to see it becoming trendy instead of glowing vampires and orange, fist-pumping guidos.

Alot of people keep saying that Michonne is not talking up enough, I know myself that when I meet total strangers that I don't blab my life story to them you feel people out, and especially in the W.D. setting you really have to feel people out to find out who they are and it doesn't help when you get locked up right away or have guns pointed at you, yeah that really breaks the ice and makes you feel welcomed Lol.

The host of The Talking Dead covered this really well. She only talks when she needs to. It adds a lot of mystery to her character. Love it

Who said anything about life story?

Michonne wants to convince Andrea to leave Woodbury, wants to turn her against the Governor. If you want to convince someone of something, you provide a cogent and factual argument.

She's just hissed and grunted at best when it comes to conveying information to Andrea.

 

[allosaur176]

As of the episode where Michonne left Woodbury, she was done pleading with Andrea to leave...She made her choice and Michonne was done with her... When she seen her in the last episode, she had no reason to explain anything to Andrea... She wanted Michonne to prove her with proof that Woodbury and the Gov had secrets, well she left Andrea with a full room of them....

Andrea wanted to stay there, let HER figure everything out for herself and make her own decision....

To be fair, if these strangers came out of their secure compound to save your life from walkers and provide medical attention the least you could do is give them relevant information that may help when they are attempting to save their friends at the location you just left. No matter how you look at it, Rick's group saved Michonne. At the very least she owes them a forthright explanation and information about Woodbury.

I don't advocate spilling your guts and secrets to everyone you meet on the road but Rick's group at the prison is different from let's say the predators encountered at the bar.

Michonne's disappearing/reappearing act at Woodbury was pathetic.
Her demeanor which consists of monosyllabic grunting and sneering is a sad excuse for communication. She's is socially dysfunctional and has little value in Rick's group. More liability than asset.

 

[.:MirrorminD:.]

Since no more spoilers, time to dissect the trailer(s)

Looks like the group is divided...My best guess is that Rick and Maggie went back for Daryl and got Merle as well. It also shows Daryl has his crossbow back and that Michonne and Glenn aren't happy about seeing Merle either.

Looks like the folks of Woodbury are on the move somewhere...maybe their taking a vacation to the prison?

and lastly.......from the trailer.....these 2 interesting pics

Looks like it's the start of the attack on the prison. Just a thought,...wouldn't it be pretty crazy if the Gov decided to fill a truck of walkers and send them through the fences? Thats something I would do in that situation.

 

[MooCriket]

A truck full of biters?! Yeah. Oh yeah! Now that is something our "comic" Governor would definitely do! I hope your guess is right!

 

[Sir Angus]

Any redeeming "warrior woman" qualities Michonne might have are worthless since she can't seem to communicate even on the most critical issues. I get that it's even harder to trust people in TWD, but as an outsider to a group you need to engratiate yourself as quickly as possible. Make them see there's a benefit to keeping you around. I almost thought she was going to be human when she seemed to soften thinking Penny was a captive child, but she immediately went back to her stoiac act. Also, she's potrayed as such a bad a** chick, but did really poorly during her fight scene with the Gov. The MA women I know would've fought much better against the Gov; especially since he supposedly had no specialized training prior to the event.

I'm glad he got stabbed in the eye, but that shard looked long enough to penetrate his brain.

If Andrea (supposedly an attorney) doesn't pull it together after seeing Daryl, she is just a pointless character. I know she bought into his charm originally, but she's seen so much now around Woodbury.

Carl was great.

Tyrese seems to be a good leader, but needs to keep his sister in check. She had a shovel and is behind bars. Carl has a gun and demonstrated his capabilities rescueing them. Does she really think scolding him is going to somehow improve their situation?

I know it won't happen, but Oscar could've realistically survived that buckshot to the side. It would've been better if he survived.

I'm tired of seeing characters get portrayed as competent only to then make critical errors in judgement. Like leaving a huge hole (literally) in your security perimeter or learning to be a survivor only to become a mindless bimbo or anything Michonne has done thus far. In a WD world, I expect people that've survived this long to make better decisions and be mentally tougher.

 

[allosaur176]

I don't see the Gov. Sending in a truck full of walkers to a group that cleared out the entire prison of them

 

[SmilingOtter]

Carl is definitely stepping up, but so is Glenn: first he kills a zombie while tied to a chair; then proceeds to rip its arm off; then makes a pair of shivs from its arm bones.

Hardcore!

 

[El Duderino]

This strays a little off of the episodes but I have the EXACT same knife the Governor uses on the show, it was given to me a long time ago by a friend but it doesn't say what brand it is on the knife, pretty sure it's a KBAR, anyone know the exact knife he uses in the show?

You're right, it's the Kabar 1221.

You definitely could be right, but so could I....guess we'll have to wait and see.

Agreed about Carl, he has come a long way from not staying in the house.

The brand is Gerber,...pretty much almost every knife on the show is from Gerber

EDIT: Thought you were talking about his main knife

 

[Kerr Avon]

My god that's an awfully phallic picture.

 

[El Duderino]

You're right, it's the Kabar 1221.

Wow that's an expensive knife, I wonder how much I could sell mine for, I have this exact model. Thanks for posting this.

 

[Art Andrews]

Isn't that the same knife used in NuBSG?

 

[Sir Angus]

Thought you were talking about his main knife

Are you sure its a Gerber? They don't show it on their website and there's a discussion thread http://www.therpf.com/f24/walking-dead-governor-162482/ about it but as of yet no one has found the right maker.

 

[.:MirrorminD:.]

Not sure, I never really watched the show but I do know they used a Boker Magnum Cosmos Side-Lock Pakkawood Pocket Knife and a CRKT M21-04 knife

 

[Kerr Avon]

By the way, those suggesting that Merle is somehow acting as an inside guy to guy spy on the Prison, I doubt it. Merle lied to the Governor about killing Michonne, and she came back and took his eye and put down Penny. I can't see the Governor working with Merle after that. It'd be way too personal for him to want to work with Merle.

No I am not 100% sure on his knife, but I am 100% sure that almost all knives and blades on the show starting from season 2 were made by Gerber and some were custom made by them. They do have a bowie line, perhaps it was a custom job that they did.

The MA women I know would've fought much better against the Gov; especially since he supposedly had no specialized training prior to the event.

Just because Michonne knows how to use a sword doesn't mean that she knows to fight, we don't know enough about her and her background to really say that she should have been able to handle herself better against the Governor. Unless she's MMA trained or has taken jiu jitsu she's going to have a hard time on the ground, especially against someone who's both stronger and heavier than her and sword training and surviving a zombie apocalypse isn't going to help all that much.

I'm glad he got stabbed in the eye, but that shard looked long enough to penetrate his brain.

Agreed, it look like it was long enough to do more than just take out an eye although you do have take into consideration the overall size of the shard and whether or not it's narrow enough to go very far into the eye socket. Then there's the matter of the bone at the back of the eye socket, even if the glass was long and narrow enough to penetrate all the way into the socket it would have stopped at the bone in the back. But then again, as soft as they make skulls out to be in this show it's entirely possibly for the shard to penetrate the bone in the back of the eye socket and get into the brain.

I know it won't happen, but Oscar could've realistically survived that buckshot to the side. It would've been better if he survived.

In Woodbury maybe where they more proper medical facilities, a doctor, and, presumably, medicine but not Rick's prison. Even if they managed to somehow to keep Oscar from bleeding out from Woodbuy to the prison I don't think that Herschal knows anything about treating gunshot wounds, at least not much, he may know some as a country vet but I don't think that treating gun shot animals was a common occurrence. Then there's the matter of avoiding infection, something they managed to miraculously avoid with Hershal but I don't know that they'd be that lucky twice.
