Walking Dead Season 3

I thought last nights episode sucked dog balls. Nothing came of it...except for Glenn and Maggie getting it on in the docking bay. The whole "one upping" between Darryl and Martinez while they were knocking off zombies.

At first I was dissappointed there wasn't more action but as it went on I began to appreciate the episode.

I thought the writers did a great job of showing how the groups had similar roles with Rick/Gov, Herschel/Milton and Daryl/Caeser. I loved how each combatant found simililarities with their counterpart (though any similarity Rick found with the Gov would be fake, because that dude [the Gov] is as unauthentic as they come).

And to keep complete balance, you have Andrea still playing the middle and conflicted on which way to go. Now this is the part I don't get...after all she's discovered about the Gov, why would she still stay with that group?

Because she's a wh0re & Carl's too young to bang ... at least staying in Woodbury she gets humped on a regular.

It was good to see Rick see through such BS from the Gov. I was also glad to see the direction they seem to be taking with Tyrone.

On another note: When are they gonna come across a Cigar store, hole up for a few minutes as the Zombies pass by, and then hoof it outta there with a couple of boxes for later?

She could be hedging her chances with the Gov's camp, planning her own attack, not know what is up yet, or something totally different.

Governor is going down and it's going to be the guy with one arm. Could also be the black girl; either one would be awesome. They need to keep her around as she is a zombie killing machine!

Don't count out Andrea....or maybe even Milton?

Milton is my sleeper pick.

I'm betting it will be Andrea who takes out the Gov despite her earlier failed non-attempt. 2nd guess would be Milton as I'm betting someone close does him in.

If not someone close, my bet would be either Maggie or Glen.

Is Milton the nerdy guy talking to the one legged guy outside? If so, I could see that for sure happening. The Governor really lacks humanity.

That's the guy.

Really. I thought it played out a little corny too. That " let's kill zombies together" opportunity was, a waaaaaayy too easy and predictable, "continuity fix" for the writers as to why the two clans managed to stay outside timidly chatting in harmony without killing each other. Don't forget both clans already orchestrated horrific attacks on each others' "home".

The entire situation above would not even exist if Rick and Gov didn't just open up some whoopazz and be done with it. Someone commented here weeks ago, that hopefully they wouldn't milk the situation for all it's worth. Since "Prison vs Woodbury" was going on at the end of last season, after 3 episodes into season four, apparently that is going to be so.

TWD is still fun to watch. This episode was slightly disappointing in my book..

I say Gov dead in 3 weeks....

Three weeks left in the season....well, you're really going out on a limb there.

watch more, not like LOST, where I knew after one season that I was being jerked around (and STILL watched all of it
like a freaking fool.)

I called it, the writing on TWD has been on a decline. The repetitiveness is getting to me.

It's become too much family drama and losing the zombie apocolypse that hooked me in the first place. If the next 3 episodes are not redeeming quality, then I will have wasted my time with this whole half season after that wait. If they need to cut it to 10 episodes or less to cut out the boring parts and filler, then AMC please do so.

Season 1 (6 episodes) > Season 2 (12 episodes) > Season 3 (16 episodes)

Hope I don't derail the thread, but anyone watch Spartacus? This season has had me on the edge of my seat - Excellent so far.
