The Walking Dead Season 3

[MailMan]

No it's not, many of the characters are so thinly characterized that it's impossible to care about them (who else had to look up the guys that were arguing with Tyrese cause you had no idea who the hell they were supposed to be?) and some of the episodes have almost no progression of any sort. I sorta liked that one with Michonne and Rick and Carl on the road trip cause it progressed character relationships, but for example the last episode where Andrea tiptoed around like she was in a scooby doo episode had nothing good about it at all and at the end of the episode nothing had been learned or progressed except "now the governor likes andrea less."

I agree, most of the characters are just not that likeable imo. Andrea is the worst of the lot, Lori was the other before her. Was I the only one who cheered for the Governor to shoot Andrea, or for the walkers to get her? If she was not utterly stupid, she would've seen the Governor for what he was long ago, at least when Michonne attacked him. Glenn was OK, but he's not the same recently. Daryl is the only one who's badass and doesn't annoy me to hell at least once in a while.

And yeah, the Rick-Carl-Michonne episode was the best in this season.

Totally agree about actually being annoyed with some of the characters. Lori and Andrea especially. For Andrea if her friend who saved her life all winter decides she shouldn't trust someone... you'd think she'd listen to her.

Awww fawk.... anyone see to nights episode?

 

[iRaiseTheDead]

^of course not. Why would we?

Haha xD
I had to catch the second premier. :/ so I'm a bit late here but so far... pretty intense

 

[wankerness]

I've got to say that Rick in the beginning of this episode hits a new low for stupidity, I don't know how anyone can possibly like that character anymore. It's too bad he's ostensibly the hero. The best possible finale would involve him and Andrea getting eaten by zombies.

Last ten minutes was great and made this the best ep since the first few this season, just cause Daryl is by far the best actor on the show and about the only character I really like.

Spoiler

It is certainly becoming a cliche how character development is grounds for death in the same episode, though.

Pasted from another board (can't take credit for it!):

Spoiler

Drinking whiskey while listening to Motorhead in a stolen car on a suicide run in the zombie apocalypse may very well be the manliest thing one can ever do.

 

[Overtone]

agreed on that last part. I was thinking later "does he carry a tape of badass tunes around?"

 

[MetalDaze]

Yeah, based on the type of car he stole, I would have expected to hear some hip-hop... not Motorhead

Fake PSA time (credit goes to some dude on AV club):

"Hi, I'm Michael Rooker. I played Merle on The Walking Dead. You know, we had a lot of fun here tonight, what with the shotgun wedding proposal, and me shooting those guys. But one thing that's never fun: Character development.

Every season, handfuls of Walking Dead characters contract character development, and in most cases, it's fatal.

*Pulls up photo of Lew Temple*

This was Axel. He started deepening his relationship with other characters and defining himself to the audience as something more than a stock archetype...and he was shot twelve seconds later for it.

The fine people running The Walking Dead have done their best to keep the cast stuck in stasis for 16 episodes, while AMC bleeds this pig dry for all it's worth. But it's not enough. So please, like us on Facebook, play the mercenary cash-in of a video game we just released, and by the soundtrack for a show that only started using music when it was decided a CD would sell really well.

With your help, we can ride this cash cow into the ground for, like, at least three more seasons."

*Chris Hardwick's face streaks by, leaving a rainbow in the wake of his unctuous plastic smile*

 

[MailMan]

Finally, another absolutely enjoyable episode Lots of fingers were lost I think it would've been even better if Merle's character development had started sooner...

Waiting for the finale!

 

[iRaiseTheDead]

Finale is going to be WAY TOO INTENSE!!!

 

[stuglue]

But more importantly, why didn't Lori give birth to a zombie baby!

 

[Aztec]

The only thing I really dislike about this series at the moment is the Governor. Most of the time he has some kind of magical intuition.

 

[emperor_black]

Very intense last episode! Loved it and watched 2 times already!

A little around the beginning of the last episode, a pickup truck drives into the prison and 3 people get out...michonne, hershel and Glenn get out. The white haired woman driving the truck gets out. Who is that? It cannot be Carol as she's with the baby and Beth is blonde.

 

[flint757]

I don't recall, but it probably is Carol and is more of a flip flub than anything.

 

[emperor_black]

I have to confess, they do come up with some really interesting ways to kill them walkers. Each episode has a different way of killing. I really liked the way Michonne killed the lady walker using her rope.

 

[soliloquy]

haven't seen the last episode yet, but this is fucking brilliant!

Undeniable Proof That "The Walking Dead" And "Toy Story" Have The Exact Same Plot

 

[soliloquy]

So, what will happen next?

Based on the Toy Story model, we're all going to cry our eyes out while Rick gets adopted by a little girl at the end. AAAAAANDY!!!!
