    Yeah the logic... A 1-on-1 for her should've been no problem for her, even with her weakened state. Curious about the void she leaves behind.


    The finale feels anticlimatic because its not the end of the story arc. You WILL know when the prison arc is over though.

    I agree with the above, but I daresay it could have been worse. This would have made a great penultimate episode of the season.
    I mean, too bad, because this could have been the best season so far, and they just... blew it, pretty much.

    Just found this, from Laurie Holden, about Andrea's death: I didn’t get the official word until a few days before we began [shooting] the finale. It was a shock to everyone. It was never part of the original story docs for Season 3. And it was rather unexpected.

    Seems to me like something changed their mind. :lol:

    Awesome - word is that Tyreese, Sasha and Beth will be regulars as of season four which is due to return in October. Source.

    Don't fuck up season four!

    Picked up Compendium Two for the hell of it. When the time comes Ireally hope they don't fuck up when Rick and Abraham start to bond.

    Tyreese, I can understand. Sasha, maybe. But Beth? What the fuck did she do for the entirety of season 3? Shoot a gun to stop a fight and kill exactly one walker? Oh and be a personal stereo (I like her singing, I'm just saying, come on!)

    Personally, I would have preferred Tyreese, Hershel and Carol to become regulars than what was chosen. Yes I love Carol. Don't hate! :p

    Edit: http://tvline.com/2013/04/04/walking-dead-melissa-mcbride-series-regular/

    Well, Apparently Hershel and Carol are regulars. Hmm.

    They teased something between Carl and her and seemingly forgot about it the rest of the season.

    I'm reading the comics... what's up with all the characters looking so different from Issue #6 onwards?

    Charlie Adlard replaced Tony Moore as artist on issue #7. If you're reading trades, you'd know that. If you're reading single issues, you'd know that. If you're reading Compendiums, you'd know that, and if you're reading onibuses, you'd know that: If you paid attention.

    Issue #7

    Which is why Adlard said 107 was the real 100th issue.

    And the alternate cover for 107 is like the most spoilerific cover ever.

    That's a stupid thing to say, it was all written by Kirkman.

    I see you are quick on calling things stupid, when in fact your ignorance or just stubbornest to see things as more than just as one sided is always quick to the draw.

    So, Adlard meant to him, it's the 100th issue because he had only did 93 issues himself when there was the issue #100 celebration. He felt like it wasn't actually fair for him to celebrate doing 100 issues, when he hadn't.

    If you count the Image Comics Holiday Special 2005, which contains a christmas special with Morgan, The Governor Special in CBLDF LIBERTY ANNUAL 2012, and the Michonne Origin Special in Playboy, things get a little bit more complicated.

    Anyway here's some walking dead news. Comic and show and adventure game alike.

    1. Telltale plan to release something to keep fans busy until season 2 of their game.
    2. There will be a new free Walking Dead comic at comicshops on Free Comic Book day that features Tyreese.
    3. The Governor is going to become more evil in season 4?

    Thank you for explaining, but I couldn't figure that out from what Ernie said.

    You're a bit rude, you know. You can explain people things without calling them ignorant or stubborn. Yes, I might be both, and I probably am, but it's better if you keep things like that to yourself.

    I know most of you guys are actually going to disagree with me...but I actually liked the finale. I mean, it's disappointing, sure, but I was still left satisfied. Andrea being a core moment of the episode was a mistake, but I grinned at the fact that the prison retaliation was a fake-out.

    Well to sum up the pros and cons season 3

    + Great acting from cast (at times), especially Andrew Lincoln, David Morrissey, and Michael Rooker.
    + Shows that the show can still make great drama
    + Unexpected actions sequences
    + "Clear"
    + Improved Carol and (gradually) Michonne
    + Interesting development of Carl
    + Experimenting, with good results
    - Experimenting, with bad results
    - "I Ain't a Judas"
    - wasted characters, such as Andrea, T-Dog and Allen
    - too many problems in second half
    - inconsistent and thin plot
    - disappointing finale

    Overall, I was still satisfied with the season. I wasn't thrilled, but it left me interested in season 4, even though it ended on a bad note. Despite the fact that the writers' weaknesses unraveled in this season, I was happy with the episodes that proved why they're one of the most critically acclaimed shows on TV today.

    I honestly can't think of a pro the show produced. The only pro the show has is that it's a genre that's in demand right now and people will continue watching solely for that reason.

    Dude, I can understand that you dislike the show, but there's no need to be that bitter about it.

    I'm not bitter. It's just bad. And I can't stop watching.

    No offense dude, but it's like saying you hate "Friday" while listening to it seven times a day.

    There's a void in my life that I'm looking for The Walking Dead to fill, it's just not filling it. I imagine it's what women feel like when they want a bigger weener inside of them. They'll keep coming back for more even though they always complain about it to their friends.
