The Walking Dead

[Quiddity]

I think Michonne would make more sense. With Rick, it's just politics; he would end it with words if he could. But it is personal with Michonne. In the comics it was really personal with Michonne, I almost thought that was where they were going with it when the Governor set up his torture room. Who knows, he isn't dead yet.

I suppose because I see the Gov. as an arch-nemesis to Rick. It seemed like Michonne was almost designed to unite with Rick, for that reason. I'm guessing you know it's going to be Michonne already? I'm cool with that.

I don't know it's going to be Michonne. With all the twists and turns they are throwing at us, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Beth or Carl. I have no idea where they are going with the story now, they are at one of those points where the TV story has nothing to do with the comics, but they usually bring it back together at some point.

I can't wait for the next season!!!
Is it just me or does the "governor" seem to resemble an "anti-christ" like figure; with the one eye and everything....?

The anti-christ will have one eye?

 

[Tranquil Servant]

The anti-christ will have one eye?

Muslims believe he will. The Bible mentions something about a beast who has has a fatal wound on his head which was healed but IMO this has a symbolic meaning so IDK...I was trying to be funny about the anti-christ thing. But the thought did cross my mind when I was watching the show.

How the heck are the going to feed all those townspeople? Also, why wouldn't they have just taken over the cushy town instead of bringing everyone back to the decidedly un-cushy prison?

 

[SkepticThinker]

Yup, I was getting a little irritated with Andrea spending the whole hour talking to Milton and taking her time with pliers. She can't talk and free herself at the same time? And then she waits until he wakes up as a zombie to actually make an effort and I find it hard to believe that someone who can take out multiple zombies with a pocket knife would let zombie Milton get the better of her.

I like that Tyrese is in the group now. Be interesting to see where they take Carl's storyline now too.

I was literally screaming at the screen during that whole thing. She kept stopping and just staring at him for like 5 minutes at a time! It was infuriating! :areyoucra

Infuriating is the right word for it.

Not really, but then again, I wasn't looking. Have you come up with anything?

 

[futilethewinds]

How stupid is it that they moved all those people to the prison? THERE'S NO FOOD THERE!

 

[Sir Doom]

Yeah. Leave the community in the area designed to house a community. Waste of gas moving everyone anyway. A ridiculous amount of gas unless I miss my guess. I don't think they should necessarily abandon the prison, but the town is a superior choice, imo.

 

[MysticSang'ha]

If there was any reason behind choosing the prison over Woodbury, my best guess would be that the Governor and his two henchmen are more familiar with the town than the prison, and because of the possible security breach by three expert marksmen who are maniacal killers and know all the holes in and out of the town, that everybody feels much safer in the prison where the Governor doesn't know his way around.

I know. I'm trying to make sense of it too.

 

[Father Heathen]

According to Kirkman, the prison is more defensible against the living as well as against the undead, whereas Woodbury, while effective against walkers, would be more difficult to defend against living humans, especially those intimately familiar with the compound. On top of that Woodbury had more able-bodied people to defend it than what the prison has.

IF I recall, there was a large amount of food storage there. And presumably, they could bring food and supplies in from Woodbury.


As for season 4, I fear they've written themselves into basically redoing season 3 (prison . . . governor . . . repeat).

I do not like television to begin with except for some animation, all of the shows I watch can literally be counted on 1 hand.
After Season 2, The Walking Dead had nothing to do with zombies and I ignored it. My tolerance for drama of any kind in television has come to an all time low. I do not enjoy never ending plots that stretch on for years until the ratings drop which leads to cancellation. I am not going to wait for a story to end after 10 dreadful years.

If you want to get a dose of zombiefication then just watch a George A Romero classic

This!

A town gives a false sense of safety and comfort where people can make mistakes. A prison, not so much. It's all around you and it forces normal folks to always be on your toes.

As far as food, it's not like Woodbury had an endless supply of things. They still had to make trips out of town to get things; the same would be for the prison.

I think the ending was more symbolic than practical. Kinda saying like we won and we are offering our protection to those of you that remain.

Not that I'm completely lost on the series yet, but I have to agree with you for the most part. The first season was very typical of the genre and exactly what I was hoping to see and it's slowly become a relationship drama from there. I was really expecting something different from it, I guess. The zombies seem to be a non-issue at this point. They just kill them at will, because they are only there to stretch a scene. It's not the plot anymore. It's the scenery.
