***OFFICIAL 'The Walking Dead' TV Series Thread*** (3 Viewers)

[cstu]

Whole season of meh so far.

Really? You are one of the few who does not like this season. I think it is the best overall

Each episode just feels more and more like filler, especially since coming back from hiatus. The first two seasons seemed much more large scale and epic. Right now it's a wild west soap opera with a few token zombie killings to remind you that it's still The Walking Dead.

I'm sure some episodes are filler now that the seasons are longer than 6 episodes. The last two episodes are setting up for the finale of season 3, especially last weeks episode. I liked at as it wasn't as intense, and both groups got to know each other some what. I would think its harder to kill someone in war that you know, than someone you don't.

FWIW there's a lot of filler in the comics as well.

I think the purpose of showing the taped gun was to point out what a great decision it was for Rick not to hang his guns on the wall. The govenor would have never gotten his hands below the table without Rick unloading on him. If Rick had hung his guns up the govenor would have killed him.

The gun's purpose was to add tension throughout the conversation. It worked.

 

[Disco Stu]

And no one every gets a cold either...this is BS!

He had the flu and everyone was trying to avoid getting it, since NO ONE EVER GETS SICK.

I understand the sarcasm but still want to point out that Andrea was sick in this season's first episode.

How many season 2 episodes were spent wandering around looking for Sophia and then sitting on the farm? This season has been much better imo.

Not sure how season 2 is large scale and epic compared to this season. I liked all of the seasons so far and really like this one. I think the pace is really good, plenty of fire fights, zombies and still enough pauses to have great scenes like Morgan and the meetings. How quick we forget the governor and Maggie and Glen killing a zombie while tied up to a chair?

More zombies coming next season though...

Asked how Season 4 will be able to top the human threat of the Governor -- if, of course, he is defeated by the end of Season 3 -- Gale Anne Hurd (producer) said that the writers are working on just that. However, she teased that the first eight episodes of Season 4 will remind audiences that the undead remain just as big a threat to Rick and his crew as the other humans populating the post-apocalyptic Georgia are.

"We are going to amp up the threat of the walkers, because they've started to seem like a manageable threat. They are not a manageable threat," she said. "But, it is the people who you think you can trust who betray you, that you have to fear. It is the monster inside you. We all have them. How do we keep them in check?"

Asked for elaboration, Hurd implied that someone from within Rick's camp is going to turn on him. "You never know who is going to, you know, who is going to be the one who's had enough. Like, Shane saw Rick as a threat to their survival. He's not the only one who's going to have those feelings."

More interested in this..... Wow. Can't be Merle. That would be too easy.

Sounds like T-Dog finally gets a storyline.

 

[FlapJacks]

Was browsing the IMDB page for the show and this actor head shot made me laugh: Milton.

Just realized that Milton is Miles from Rubicon.

 

[pollardsvision]

Y'all are crazy. There is no way scientist guy kills the governor. If anything, he will have a chance/choice, and will chicken out, and the governor will kill him.

There's plenty of hidden crazy with the scientist. He'll slit the Gov's throat and saute his #### in truffle oil.

 

[FlapJacks]

That was one of my favorite episodes of the series. Not sure how any fan of the show wouldn't like it.

Because it was filled with idiocy.

all the more reason, then - Not sure how any fan of the show wouldn't like it.

I'm guessing it will be Glenn.. he's getting a taste of being a leader, and power corrupts.. plus he is getting laid, and that makes him feel manly..

I was goingt o say Glenn as well for the all reason mentioned above. I cant see it being Carl at all.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

It would be great if Carl and Rick somehow simultaneously killed each other.

 

[SlaX]

I haven't read the last few pages, but I'm gonna mention what bothers me so far from this season. And it's how the TV show has depicted the prison. The comics gave the prison enough time to be home. Hershel has a garden, Andrea started making winter and summer clothing out of prison garb, they cleared the gym, infirmary and the prison's weapon's stash. In the comics, the group was at home in the prison. They weren't held up in one cell block like they are in the TV show. In the TV show, nothing has been done to secure the prison. Walkers still lurk in the tombs. Tyrese and his group showed us that there's an entirely unsecured wing that can be breached.

TV prison isn't home. Why should I care whether Rick stays to protect the prison? AMC hasn't given us any reason to care what happens to it. In fact, since turning away Tyrese nothing has really happened at the prison. All the complaints I saw made about the farm, magnified in the prison. I'd rather see them split and find a new home. But of course, we must have the war. To quote Ben Folds, "The Battle of Who Could Care Less".

I'm sure some episodes are filler now that the seasons are longer than 6 episodes. The last two episodes are setting up for the finale of season 3, especially last weeks episode. I liked at as it wasn't as intense, and both groups got to know each other some what. I would think its harder to kill someone in war that you know, than someone you don't.

FWIW there's a lot of filler in the comics as well.

SPOILER TAGS, ****!Jeez!

Yea you are right.. Really wish they would have spent 2 or 3 shows with them planting a garden and making clothes FYI.... the upcoming battle isn't really about the Prison..It's about the Guv wanting the people in the Prison dead and those in the prison trying to survive.

It's because AMC as a channel is the cheapest, penny pinching, scrooge of a company. The Prison is so limited because they can't afford anything. The whole season looks cheap.

The comics and the T.V. show have their own story going.. Similar in concept, but many changes, including Daryl and Merle..IMO, in the show they are defending the prison because it is safer then anywhere else right now, NOT because they made it a home.There is no way in heck the people watching the TV show want them to drag out the prison story line to the point the comics did.. All you had to do was be active in this thread during the 2nd season at the farm to know that.

 

[Team Legacy]

This is NOT a spoiler. This is a DELETED scene that transpired between Season 1 and 2. It explains why the group didn't go back to "The Vatos" after the CDC.

yeah but you can't stop and pick up a sofa or something on one of their runs? You'd think they would do something to make it a bit more homey, when they originally arrived they were talking about how dangerous the road was and how it was nice to settle down somewhere. I would have expected them to do something to make it "home".

Before they got to the prison they were desperate to find a safe place to live. Don't you remember how excited they were when they found it? I don't know how you can say the battle isn't about them keeping the one piece of security they've had since the apocalypse began.

To quote Ben Folds, "The Battle of Who Could Care Less".

Yea you are right.. Really wish they would have spent 2 or 3 shows with them planting a garden and making clothes FYI.... the upcoming battle isn't really about the Prison..It's about the Guv wanting the people in the Prison dead and those in the prison trying to survive.

Way to completely miss the point.

The comics and the T.V. show have their own story going.. Similar in concept, but many changes, including Daryl and Merle..IMO, in the show they are defending the prison because it is safer then anywhere else right now, NOT because they made it a home.There is no way in heck the people watching the TV show want them to drag out the prison story line to the point the comics did.. All you had to do was be active in this thread during the 2nd season at the farm to know that.

Still not getting it. Glad you're blissfully enjoying it.

I agree with Snogger, TRE is stupid.

This is NOT a spoiler. This is a DELETED scene that transpired between Season 1 and 2. It explains why the group didn't go back to "The Vatos" after the CDC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFOQZ6Sr_dI&feature=shareHope it's okay to post. I enjoyed it, I think you will as well.

Very cool. Thanks! So glad Dale is dead.

I haven't read the last few pages, but I'm gonna mention what bothers me so far from this season. And it's how the TV show has depicted the prison. The comics gave the prison enough time to be home. Hershel has a garden, Andrea started making winter and summer clothing out of prison garb, they cleared the gym, infirmary and the prison's weapon's stash. In the comics, the group was at home in the prison. They weren't held up in one cell block like they are in the TV show. In the TV show, nothing has been done to secure the prison. Walkers still lurk in the tombs. Tyrese and his group showed us that there's an entirely unsecured wing that can be breached. TV prison isn't home. Why should I care whether Rick stays to protect the prison? AMC hasn't given us any reason to care what happens to it. In fact, since turning away Tyrese nothing has really happened at the prison.

yeah but you can't stop and pick up a sofa or something on one of their runs? You'd think they would do something to make it a bit more homey, when they originally arrived they were talking about how dangerous the road was and how it was nice to settle down somewhere. I would have expected them to do something to make it "home".

You can't be serious with this. You want to see them pick up sofas and curtains to make things more "homey"? Jeebus!

You don't have to have an episode of them going shopping or anything like that. They have done nothing to improve the prison, or their situation there. When they found it the prison was a sanctuary, they were stoked to not have to be on the run anymore. At this point with the issues with Woodbury and the prison being a complete #### hole it's far more beliveable they would just move on rather than camping out and going to war.

Where would they go? They still had a supply of food up until recently. I hated them being on the farm for so long but haven't really had any issues with them being in the prison all season. It's a totally different angle involving the struggle between other humans. It's hard to do that if you're always on the road. Don't get me wrong. I'll be more than ready for them to move on after this season, but I haven't once thought about them making the prison more cozy or planting a freaking garden.

Little things like that wouldn't have taken much screen time and would have created a sense of attachment to the prison and added more drama to the battle with the Governor. The way they've treated the prison it's almost like if they were forced to leave they'd all just .

well.. Most of them want to leave.. They've been trying to talk Rick into leaving rather then stay and fight.. that to me leads me to beleive they see the prison as just a safe place to hole up for now, rather then a place they want to make their home.

But that's the whole point Slax was trying to make. If it's just another place to hole up for a while, then the whole "BATTLE FOR THE PRISON" angle loses a lot of drama. There are no stakes...they can just pick up and leave.

 

[babydemon90]

Where does everyone keep getting fuel for their vehicles? I'm thinking the guy at the Shell station turned off the pumps when the zombies showed up.

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.

I don't think so

As gasoline ages the parts of gas that make your engine go will evaporate. After a year most cars on the side of the road wouldn't start but the gas in them could run that crappy Hyundai they are driving around. Although it would probably run rougher and the fuel they are siphoning off from other cars would eventually gum up the injectors and their cars wouldn't start. A car with a carburetor would be better since it's easier to clean, also condensation in gas tanks would be an issue since some of the gas they are getting would have water in it.

Dunno - I know I start my bike up every spring with the same gas that was in in form the fall, so sitting around for a few months never seems to bother it. Maybe I shouldn't be doing that...

Perception I guess..IMO, they want to protect the Prison because it is the only safe place they know right now to hole up. Not because,as in the comics, they decided to make it their home til death.In the show, the prison is good, semi-safe place right now, and they want to protect it until they decide what they want to do. I'll give you , the writers haven't continued with the discussions they had at the beginning of the season where there was talk about moving on at some point to find other survivors.. and then the baby came, Lori died and things changed..I don't have an issue understanding why Rick would want to make a stand.. You don't need a "home" in order to want to protect what is yours.

If you're worried about the presentation of making the prison home, they could have done a lot of the stuff in between episodes. The show isn't in real time. A few days or weeks can go by between this week and next week. It's too late to start now, but it's something they should have done from the start of the season.
