Walking Dead Season 3 (3 Viewers)

[TravisR]

Yeah, I know some people have complained about not seeing Rick's group, but honestly, splitting episodes like this is a perfect solution to the monotony of the group being in one place for extended periods of time, since it's broken up with an entirely different location.

Definitely. Rick and company are temporarily OK so seeing Michonne, Andrea, The Governor, Merle and the town for 40-some minutes was much more interesting than cutting back and forth between the story/characters at the prison and the ones in Woodbury.

 

[Ray Gutnick]

can't claim this is my idea, but how cool would it have been to have this series starring the cast of Lost

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Man, this show is just unrelenting.
And does Andrea put her trust in the wrong people, or what? First she sides with the psychopath Shane over Rick and Dale, now she's siding with a man she's barely met over the woman who's kept her alive for months and months.

 

[mattCR]

Holy cow.

That's all I have to say.

 

[Sean Bryan]

Wow. That was rough. I can tend to be a bit empathetic when watching well acted stuff, and I have to say that Rick's reaction really got to me.
T-Dog
Lori
Carol (?) she may have made it.
They really made us pay for the hint of cheerfulness in the beginning of the episode.
I know Carl took a lot of grief from fans in previous seasons, but I'm really digging what this boy is being forged into.
Man, that was rough.

 

[Lou Sytsma]

Poor T-Bone. 3 seasons and what? - a dozen lines of dialogue. Terrible.
Can't say I'll miss Lori at all. Her dying is a good move from a story telling point of view - her relationship with Rick was damaged beyond repair. Really felt for Carl and Rick.

 

[Walter Kittel]

Not really liking the writing with Andrea. It seems so unbelievable that she would not trust Michone's instincts after surviving with her in an apocalyptic environment for so long. Just not buying into that scenario.
Having said that - Holy Crap! What a brutal episode to watch. I was completely wrung out by the end of the show. I'm surprised that Andrew survived long enough to sabotage the prison. Guess Rick learned a hard lesson about making sure that an antagonist is really dead. Shades of Bond films where the villains always assume their diabolical schemes to eliminate Bond will work without checking the results.
- Walter.

 

[Quentin]

Un-fucking-flinching.
I can't even think of more to say. That was rough.

T-Bone is the nickname of Neil Watkins from accounting at George's office on "Seinfeld". Of course, getting T-Dog's name wrong goes along with your Rodney Dangerfield "no respect" thesis.

 

[mattCR]

Who was the T- something in prison break? I was just thinking about that due to the setting as of current of Walking Dead

 

[Walter Kittel]

Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell, played by the great Robert Knepper. One of the scummiest inmates to ever grace a television screen.
- Walter.

 

[mattCR]

I always wonder. Everyone is always T-something. Why don't we ever run into S-dog? Or N-Dog?

 

[Sean Bryan]

Andrea seems to be drawn to strong men of a certain type. I don't see how that is interpreted as a problem with the writing. It's a character flaw.

 

[TravisR]

It took a little over 2 seasons but this show finally seems to be living up to its potential.

Andrea seems to be drawn to strong men of a certain type. I don't see how that is interpreted as a problem with the writing. It's a character flaw.

I don't think Andrea is even all that attracted to The Governor as much as she's attracted to a safe, well-stocked and welcoming place. After months of wandering through a literal hell on Earth where they might be killed at any second, I have to question the sanity of anyone who wouldn't want to stay.

 

[Walter Kittel]

I understand the arguments for why Andrea is behaving the way she does and I can kind of agree with Travis regarding the desire for safety as an overriding concern. But we will just have to disagree. I'm more of a bird in hand kind of guy and if someone saved my ass and kept me alive for months I'm pretty sure I'd be trusting their judgement and survival skills.
- Walter.

 

[joshEH]

Holy fucking shit. This is clearly not the same show as last season. Not by a long shot. Wow.
I think that was the most meaningful that T-Dawg has ever been in this show. Should have known T was a goner when he finished piling up all the bodies. And yay for Dead Lori! I had to resist the urge to cheer, since my wife was clearly choked up by the scene. There can be no doubt now that Darabont's departure was a positive thing for this show.
That said, I'm not looking forward to the baby-centric story-arc that is sure to follow....they better find some way to get that baby adopted by some nice hillbilly militia-family. I hope Hershel starts calling Oscar "T-Dawg," and feigns deafness whenever somebody tries to point out that he's actually a totally different black guy.
Frustrating to watch Andrea fall for the alpha-male again. I hope Michonne leaves her ass there, but that's unlikely. Also, +1 to Short Round for tapping the hot white chick onscreen again.

- Walter.

When I said how I'd question the person's sanity, I was basically joking but if I was Andrea, I really would be wondering if Michonne had really lost it or if she just 'addicted' to the killing and the adrenaline from the constant threat of death. And if I thought she may be mentally ill, I'd think that the best and most loyal thing I could do is try to talk some sense into her and get her to stay.

Let me toss this one out there for you: we never actually saw Carl perform his chore. All we heard was a gunshot. For all we know, Lori might be popping up again. Let's see Rick handle that one...

Eh, highly doubt Carl would purposely miss. What benefit would there be since he KNOWS she would just come back and eat them?

 

[Sean Bryan]

If anyone wants to check out a brief scene from next week's episode they can see it here. It's not the same scene shown during The Talking Dead. Not really spoilery, except there is a mention about the number of graves being dug. But I don't know that we can assume it means what we might think it means. If you know what I mean.
