I'm a bit late with watching this, so here are my thoughts on episode 1:
- Have they never seen real pregnant women? They don't look like someone trying to keep a pillow under their shirt. They also can't wear skinny jeans.
- Apparently we're starving... but there's no way we're eating dog food! We'd rather die than eat dog food, seriously!
- Hey we've found the perfect way to dispose of zombies! You just lure them to a fence and stab them through the head. Now that we know that, let's waste all our bullets on them and when we have no more bullets, let's enter an enclosed area and try our luck in hand to hand combat. No one lives forever, right?
- I've asked this in season 2... but if you turn zombie, does the bone in your skull disappear? Apparently you can perforate one with the blunt side of a broomstick.
- Ok we abandoned the cars, have no food and are now in a square mile's field with no roof above our heads. Can we please stay here forever?? Pleeeease? If we had some seeds we could even grow some vegetables to stay alive! In the mean time let's sing songs around the campfire so the viewers will understand that we have found ultimate happiness.
- Weren't they like really good at hugging a zombie and then stabbing it to death? Why do they start running like a bunch of morons when they're inside and see some zombies come around the corner?
- I'm an Afro-American chick with a sword! My role in this series is to look angry!
- I'm a redneck badass with a crossbow, but when I get really scared I try to wave the zombies away with my flashlight!
- So one guy (as Vampyr already pointed out: let's put our only doctor on the front line!) gets bitten in his leg and it's bleeding. He's already infected so all we need to do is keep him from dying. Hmm how do we stop the bleeding? ... I know! Let's cut off his leg!!! He'll be forever thankful!
- Wait, we almost forgot the drama! What can we come up with this time? Eh ok so Rick doesn't want to talk to his wife, ok? Woah we'll have enough drama to last the whole season!
Ok that's about it. Apart from that, the episode was decent.

RIP T-Dog. I was happy he was finally getting more lines. Should have known.
Wasn't feeling anything during the Lori and Carl scene. Thought it was too bad since I usually get really emotionally involved in the shows I watch. But then that the flashback...and then seeing Rick's reaction.
Also really liked the Governor's twitch when he was speaking to Merle.
I'm just waiting until zombie baby. Has to happen.

Yeah, that is odd. This ep had Glen slice a skull completely in half with what was probably a dull knife.
Maybe I'm just over the whole nerd rage thing, or maybe Season 2 set the bar so low for absolute pile of shit, but damn!
This season is fucking good! And they are deviating from the comics.
I like it.
I have....nothing to really nitpick about. Sure, the show isn't Breaking Bad, but it never will be. They really turned this show around with Season 3, and I'm ready to eat my hat or whatever.
Also: Dexter. Another show that went to fuck-shit-fuck after Season 2 and cruised controlled into the crapper, and surprisingly turned it around big time this season.
What the fuck is going on? Who cares?! I have entertainz.
Also, RIP Lori. You were a proverbial thorn in my real ass. But we all loved you. And you lasted longer than the black guy.
Ok I'm up-to-date with the show again. What can I say? People had to die, it was time for a change. But I actually expected Rick to go before Lori. It would be nice to see what happens to the group when Rick dies. Daryl would probably go solo while the rest would try to find another 'leader'.
Anyway, I still think it's stupid how they handle the zombies. Like in the last episode, why wasn't anyone carrying his melee weapon? That was incredibly retarded and we saw what happened. More people dying needlessly.
I didn't expect to get emotion with Lori dying (I still think she was a psychotic bitch), but it was a pretty strong scene.
Just wondering: in the comics, was the Governor also in a town? I was under the impression he was ruling the prison. Not that it matters much...

I have officially tuned out those that complain about this show. It has been consistently great every episode this season. The tone is completely different since Darabont left, and you feel anxiety, fear, and desperation with each episode. They're also come to terms with the fact that these characters need to be unlikeable a good part of the time, because you can only be so nice during the apocalypse.
I'm pleasantly surprised how much better this season is compared to the last two. Really got their act together and has become quite an enjoyable show.

This season has been awesome, but you have to admit, Season 1 was inconsistent and cheesy, and Season 2 was a piece of shit. The writting was awful, the pacing was off, the soap opera acting was contrite and dumb, and everything sucked.
I pretty much checked out after Season 2, and I'm happy they did a complete 180 with Season 3.
Season 3 is really holding its own, and as I said...I have no real complaints. I have compliments, even! There are moments that are like, "damn."
I was one of the Darabont supporters, so I need to apologize. Apparently he was fucking everything up. It's good that he left. Best decision ever. Now here is to hoping for 3 or 4 more seasons of this! At the rate we are going, things are going to get really dark.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
Yeah, season 3 has been very good. No complaints.
Also I am up through compendium 2 of the comics. They are awesome! The show will never live up to that, but oh well. I've gotta get more, though I don't think the next volume is out for a bit.
I have to admit that I've found little to whine about in the last episodes. Sure, some characters are boring (Andrea, why are you still alive?) and it's like every episode needs to have at least 1 "let's get killed in the most original way" moment. But other than that, it's pretty good.
Edit: No Laurie where they left her... so Tim or whatever the kids name is didn't have the guts to shoot his mom after all?
