***OFFICIAL 'The Walking Dead' TV Series Thread*** (8 Viewers)

EW) -- With just four more episodes of "The Walking Dead's" third season to go, this would officially qualify as the homestretch. So what should we expect to see as we head toward the inevitable confrontation between Rick and The Governor?

Is Rick sane again? Has Michonne proved her mettle? And should we assume that not everyone will make it out of the season alive? We spoke with exec producer Robert Kirkman, who offered up some cryptic clues and teases for what lies ahead.

Entertainment Weekly: Is Rick past his hallucinations now? Did that encounter with Morgan refocus him? Where's his head at as we get closer to the big showdown?

Robert Kirkman: He has started to get a handle on it to a certain extent, and a big thing that helped him with that was his interaction with Morgan in this last episode. He sees this fun house there, who he could eventually be if he keeps going down this path. I think that's going to help rein him in a great deal and set him on the path to healing. Now, he could have a relapse, but I think right now he is getting a handle on what is going on within him.

EW: We last saw Andrea standing over the Governor with the knife and not being able to go through with killing him. How pivotal a role is she going to play going forward?

Kirkman: The rest of the season really is about what Andrea is doing and how she's handling this situation. The scene where she stands over him in the bed is really the beginning of her plan and what she's going to be doing and why she's doing what she's doing. The fact that she wasn't able to kill the Governor is really going to play in to a lot of the upcoming story for the rest of the season. Andrea is in a really horrible position. She has relationships with people in Woodbury. She knows there are good people there. She knows that the Governor is instigating a war between those people and other people that she has a relationship with that she also knows to be good people. She's kind of stuck in the middle and can't help either group win because that would mean the destruction of other good people but she's going to have to do something to try to make this situation resolve in a way that not too many people get hurt. So that's really what she's going to be trying to do moving forward.

EW: Tyreese and his group now seem firmly with the Governor. Is Tyreese, like Andrea, a swing character in this conflict?

Kirkman: Tyreese is a character coming into a very explosive situation with not a lot of information. He got a lot of misleading information from Rick and his group, using Rick's behavior as an example of what that group is like. Certainly an inaccurate portrayal of those people, and having that information, he is being easily wooed by the Governor. We've always tried to maintain that Tyreese is this big-hearted character. He's someone who — like Dale in the second season — still sees the humanity in the world and still sees the need to do what's right as opposed to what will help us survive. And that's something that will either be subverted by the Governor and used to his benefit, or something that may eventually turn Tyreese against the Governor.

EW: Let's talk about the Dixons. Daryl started to seem to realize that maybe Merle was no good for him by going back to the prison, and then Carol told him straight up that Merle was no good for him. Where is the relationship between the brothers headed?

Kirkman: I think now the real question is, can Merle be affected by this group the same way that Daryl has been? That's something that Daryl hopes will happen. He does see that being with these people and being a part of this group has helped make him a better person. He still loves his brother and sees the value in having his brother around, but he's hoping Merle can come around the same way that he did and calm down a bit and be a little bit more of a reasonable person. That's really going to be the main conflict for those two moving forward for the rest of the season.

EW: What about Daryl and Carol? They obviously have had something of a flirtation. Now that Daryl is back and Axel is out of the way, are we going to see some movement with those two romantically?

Kirkman: All I can say is that those two characters are extremely close, and I would imagine that the more time they spend together that they would only get closer and closer. They definitely have a unique bond that is formed over their time together and whether or not that evolves into an intimate relationship remains to be seen, but they do certainly like each other.

EW: Michonne was able to make a connection with Carl this week. Is she becoming more a part of the group?

Kirkman: Definitely. That was by design. I think Rick took her on that trip to feel her out and get to know her better and test to see if she was the type of person that would be a valuable member of that group, or if she was going to continue to be somewhat problematic. And I think he got a very positive answer out of that and Carl was a big part of that. And coming out of that trip, I think she's going to be a much more integral, welcomed part of this group who will continue to become more invested in this cause and be a contributing member.

EW: You made us wait 30 episodes to bring Morgan back. So now we can reset the clock on me asking you that same question all over again: Are we going to be seeing Morgan again?

Kirkman: We definitely didn't kill him, so he's still alive and still out there. We checked in on him. Whether or not that's the end of Morgan's story, or we check on him again, or he shows up later at some point in a surprising fashion remains to be seen. But he's definitely still out there, so the possibilities are wide open.

EW: You guys are big on there being repercussions so that the action feels real. If there is a big battle or zombie attack, people often die. With this confrontation really gearing up, should we then assume that not every character is going to make it out of the season alive?

Kirkman: I'm afraid there may be a casualty or more still to be experienced by the end of this season. We'll see.

EW: Will this Woodbury vs. the prison storyline be resolved by the end of the season? Season one was the set up and going to the CDC, season two was about the farm, and season three has been the prison and Woodbury. Should we expect a new setting next season?

Kirkman: That would certainly appear to be settling into a cycle. I don't want to give anything away because we have some really cool stuff planned for the finale, but I will say that there is a resolution to the storyline at the end of the season, as people would expect. It becomes a whole complete story that you've been able to experience over the course of season three. And It will set things up nicely for season four. There are new places to go in season four, but whether or not that means a new setting or new story direction or simply new characters I can't really nail down any specifics.

Just a wild guess, but if Daryl and Carol have sex then Carol is walker meat.

This show needs an occasional max mad style car in it, or some super redneck mobile, since they are in Georgia. You know there are some good old boy F350's out there that would make for a great zombie crushing tank that some group must be using.

Has there ever been any talk of that other rouge group of people from the farm season that they were worried about? I wonder if they will cycle back around to that group again?

I heard Kirkman refer to them as "rouge cous".
 
Have to give it to the writers adding levity to an intense episode.

I ain't showing you my leg I just met you..... at least buy me a drink first. :lol:

ETA dang you badmojo.. beat me to it by seconds.

I've been thinking this as well. No idea if this is right or not, but I'm sure I've read/heard somewhere that fuel goes bad after a few months sitting around.

They have a stock pile of Stabil and other such fuel treatments to keep the gas fresh.
 
That whole meeting was set-up weird. Rick could've just shot the Governor and left with his crew before the other guys showed up.

 
There has to be a betting line on who gets it before the end of the season. Rick, Tyrese and Judith are the only ones I would put in the safe column. Merle/Governor/andrea/michonne seem the most likely to go. I'd put Herschel/Darryl/Glen/Maggie in the next group. Carl/Beth/Carol seem unlikley to go. I'd be surpirsed if we even see Morgan again this season.

The weasel scientist is the wild card.

Merle/Governor is where the sharp money is. Probably both kick it in the last episode.
 
I'm not inviting spoiler talk about the comics but isn't Michonne a pretty big deal there? If so, I'd be surprised if they killed her off but it would certainly be a big shock to the comic book fans. Andrea sure seems like a lock to be killed. I could see Hershel and Merle getting killed too. After last night, I'll be steamed if Beth gets killed. Besides, that would deprive us of the Rick-Beth love affair that is so obviously coming our way. :D

Great episode again last night. Loved the Rick/Governor showdown. Very well played and particularly enjoyed The Governor picking away at Rick's pysche and trying to lower his defenses. Also enjoyed the Daryl/Other Guy Who's Name I Can't Remember d**k measuring contest and the Hershel/Milton stuff.

Can't see Rick sacrificing Michonne to save the group. He knows that isn't just what The Governor wants so I'd be shocked if he took that way out.

Andrea going back to Woodbury was seriously :no:

Didn't like the episode. Too much talky talky. Token zombie killings for a few laughs. And every episode I'm waiting and hoping for Andrea to be bitten or shot, so every episode I'm a little let down.

Last week was much better.

I hope you are right as I liked everything about the episode except the ending.. Seemed weak to me for the writers to switch from Rick realizing that The Gov was going to kill them either way to..

"Please talk me out of giving up Michone".. :thumbdown:

 
It's a good thing that Rick and the Governor have assigned seating now at the meeting place otherwise Rick may have ended up seeing the gun the Governor taped on his side of the table.

Few interesting parts to the show:

- the development/interaction between the leutenants of the two groups;

- showing the gun taped to the table just to indicate that the gov. has something up his sleeve but leaving it go at that;

- the byplay between Darryl and the gov's Lt. when the zombies come.

Am I the only one here who wants to see Herschel being chased by a zombie?
