Anyone Watching "Walking Dead" on AMC?

[phork]

Ugh. My head hurts.

Check.

 

[Walter White]

I can't believe they didn't kill the Governor.

Otherwise a great season finale.

 

[IrishinTN]

So the governor and his henchman just drive off into the sunset? Yeah, I know they'll be back but why don't they go to Woodbury? With?

 

[gkIrish]

Um...so confused.

I feel like we have absolutely nothing to look forward to next season. I can't believe I'm saying this but I wish we had a cliffhanger or two.

 

[magogian]

Did anyone else feel absolutely nothing over her death?

 

[irishog77]

Did anyone else feel absolutely nothing over her death?

I did. I felt happiness. She's whiny and irritating. Glad the show is going on without her.


Anyway, wouldn't everybody be better off living in Woodberry than the prison? WB already has/had secure walls, generators, gardens, etc. And I know I'm being pretty technical, but it seems like they didn't bring anything with them from WB-- food, fuel, guns, vehicles, (the abandoned vehicles and guns left from the Gov's massacre) etc.

Glad to see Tyrese, aka Cutty, on board, for what seems like a bump in stature for next season.

I feel like the powers that be with the show decided, "Hey, let's give closure for the Season 3, but not really, so we can kind of string the audience along til next season...all the while pretend like we're making a bold statement by killing off a major cast member." I didn't really dislike the episode, but I didn't really like it either. It seems like the producers have made the decision to switch from making the show into a harsh, compelling, sobering, suspenseful, quality show that may only be 10 episodes or 20, 30 episodes (in the process, going all out and making the best episode they could each week), to instead making it into a milquetoast series that they can keep churning into more seasons and more money. It's like they've already decided they're CSI or something-- "as long as we can keep making money on this thing, let's keep making episodes. We'll do 20 years of this if we can. Who cares if we may be turning the entire show to sh!t...as long as we can keep making money."

Season 1 of this show was probably one of my favorite seasons of any TV show that I have watched. The show, however, has just been brutal the last two seasons. Literally the entire 2nd season was based around living on a farm and trying to find a girl who everyone knew was dead. This whole season has been just about having a fight with a town that was really over nothing.

As was mentioned above, the show gave the viewers nothing to look forward to for Season 4. They could have at least showed the Governor trying to re-group or plan out another attack or something. Instead, its seemingly all the same characters stuck at the prison with no enemies and no way of getting bit by zombies. There are also about ~20 new "old" people who were already pretty much deemed useless in Woodberry.

I watched Walking Dead and then Game of Thrones (and thought back to end of season 2 in Game of Thrones), and the two shows literally do not compare.

 

[phork]

The shows decline was precipitated by Darabont leaving. Mazzara has been ok at times but in both the last 2 seasons we got stagnated at the farm and then at the prison. My outlook going forward is not positive, but with Mazzara leaving perhaps it will improve. I don't hold out hope.

The story line from the comic is being completely obliterated.

 

[irishpat183]

Easy

Marry Maggie, bone Lori and kill Andrea. I've wanted her dead for a season now. Her whiny bitching act got old after two seconds.

YES!!!


I'm not the only one. She is probably the most annoying character on the show.


It was good to see her go last night.

 

[gkIrish]

This may sound silly but I would be shocked if Maggie, Beth, or Andrea die because they already killed off one good looking character this season. Hotness=ratings

So much for this theory.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

So much for this theory.

Maybe not, I heard Kate Upton is hired for season four. Her outfits require special effects magic, because they are so revealing. Just for what it is worth.

If this is an April Fool's joke I will find you.

 

[Irish4Life09]

That was such a terrible season finale that is almost impossible to put into words.
Thank God they finally killed the dumb bitch.

The Walking Dead in one animated gif:

 

[gkautz10]

Ya, the big battle was a total dud! Why build up something for 6+ weeks to have it last for 4 minutes and have the more aggressive party completely run away? It did shock me that the Governor killed all those people though. Looks like season 4 will have the same dynamic as this season did, Governor pissed at Rick and them plotting against eachother. Yawn

This, pretty much exactly. And as soon as I saw Rick and posse roll up to a now presumably occupiable township, I literally said, "son of a bitch" to my television.

Awesome (1) -> Farm (2) -> Prison (3) -> Township (4)?

Rick going to play Sherif, err Governor? smh


At least Mad Men is coming back!! It's Christina Hendricks Season again!!

honk honk

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

One of the worst season finales for any show ever. I might be done with this crappy show for good now.

You won't. None of us will.


Zombies are too cool.

 

[goldandblue]

The finale did suck. All those filler episodes for the big battle which turned into nothing. Show is going to **** quickly...

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Actually, if someone good took over, this show could rise back to the top. Twenty new people in prision, the governor wants in, he has a spy inside, securing the prison, etc, more new people, so on and so forth!

 

[Walter White]

I really don't think it was that bad, and I am highly critical of the show overall. It was pretty shocking and their current situation is now drastically different.

I think they could have given a few more spoilers as to what next season will hold and made the Andrea/pliers scene shorter more realistic. Overall, though I think it was a decent season finale. It would have been a really boring battle had they actually decided to fight. What was presented was very realistic given the inexperience of the town people.

Carl's interesting character development. Rick looks like he will start to be cool again (no more Lori visions). The Governor went completely psychopathic. Tyrese and his wife seem reasonable which are people the group needs more of. Elderly and children will slow the group down but is a really humane cause.

What it needed was the Michonne introduction the season 2 finale had. Something from the comics that gave a prelude to next season's story line. Not necessarily a new character, just some sort of mysterious detail that would require research.

 

[betecd]

The only positive from the finale is that I am interested to see how the Tyrese storyline will play out compared to the comic

 

[leppycole]

really never understood why Rick did not secure the rear of the prison where Tyrees came in originally - Gov really could have snuck in anytime

 

[johnnykillz]

Carl is turning evil.

I sense his head is about to be split in the beginning season 4 episode: my best guess is the Governor does it.

I would also bet Daryl will die too. Maybe Glen instead.

But Carl has to be a goner...

Daryl is probably my favorite character, so I really hope he doesn't die.

Carl's gotta go.

What's the comic book storyline with Tyrese like?

He and Michonne become an item. And he does eventually. Lol.

Tyrese is in it long before the show.

 

[goldandblue]

Carl is turning in to a mini Shane...

 

[Whiskeyjack]

It would have been a really boring battle had they actually decided to fight. What was presented was very realistic given the inexperience of the town people.

They successfully lured the Woodberry force into the Tombs, nailed them with flash bangs, and then set some Walkers on them. Why not just kill them all? If there was a conscious decision not to kill anyone, why?

really never understood why Rick did not secure the rear of the prison where Tyrees came in originally - Gov really could have snuck in anytime

That's always bothered me. They made virtually no effort to secure the prison against attack, even though they knew it was coming for most of Season 3. Either leave, or prepare to defend yourself.
