And last one is from Nathan Mattise at Ars Technica on why Season 3 is the best yet: With S3, The Walking Dead is a “different show”—the most interesting one yet
Is there an alternate ending where Andrea does NOT die??
Yes, the comics. Haha. Where she is also grows into a badass sniper.
With a freakin’ badass scar.
And a piece of her ear missing.
It’s always interesting to read what WE are saying/debating & then read the creator’s & producers’ take on it. Thanks for posting these articles on the site!
It would be interesting to see Carl be a mini me for the Governor. I am sure that is who he might become if he does not get a good ole’ fashion ass whooping to make sure he is put into place. There is a pecking order and he is trying to climb that ladder way too fast.
Heated debates about whether or not the finale sucked? Must feel good to drum up so much emotion, both negative and positive.
I’m on the side that the finale was good. Not great, but good. I know we’re used to the big cliffhanger or epic battle, but sometimes an understated ending can pique the interest, too. Either way, the show keeps us guessing, even those of us who are familiar with the fact that EZEKIEL HAS A TIGER.
Any word on the premier date for season 4? 🙂
I DON’T KNOW WHY SO MANY PEOPLE WERE HATING ON ANDREA THIS SEASON… SHE DIDN’T KNOW THE GOVERNOR WAS WHO HE WAS AND SOME PEOPLE WERE JUST TO STUPID TO REALIZE THAT HER ARC WAS THAT OF A WOMAN WANTING SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN OR TO HOLD ON TO… IF YOU KNOW ANDREA FROM SEASON 1 TO SEASON 2 TO SEASON 3 YOU WOULD SEE THAT SHE WAS A FIGHTER AND CAME FROM A PLACE OF DEFEAT AND HORROR INTO A PLACE OF HOPE AND OPTIMISM AFTER AMYS DEATH AND THEN THE CDC AND ON TO THE DEATH OF DALE AND LOSING THE GROUP AT THE END OF SEASON 2 AND FINDING MICHONNE THEN GETTING TO WOODBURY SHE JUST WANTED IT TO BE REAL… SHE WAS HOPING FOR THAT SINCE OF CIVILIZATION… IT REALLY UPSETS ME THAT PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE THAT FOR HER CHARACTER BECAUSE I WISH THAT SHE WAS STILL GOING INTO SEASON 4 BECAUSE SHE IS SUCH A MAJOR CHARACTER IN THE COMICS AND I REALLY FELT SHE WAS ON THE SHOW AS WELL… SO HERE IS TO HOPING THAT HER DEATH HAD MEANING AND ROBERT KIRKMAN IS SAYING IN A LOT OF INTERVIEWS THAT HER DEATH HAD TO HAPPEN FOR THE THINGS IN SEASON FOR TO HAPPEN AND BE MEANINGFUL AND THAT HER DEATH REALLY HAS INTERESTING EFFECTS ON THE CHARACTERS ESPECIALLY RICK IN SEASON 4
Ricky, you make excellent points and then hide them in a sea of CAPS LOCK. Can we do something about that in future comments?
I didn’t mind the season finale but I really am confused about the amount of old woodbury people are going to be in the prison, I really want to see how he plays this…
Deja-vu there, “I really want to see how he plays this” is exactly what I said with Ezekiel!
I think the final of season 3 was a bit lame it could be more exited.
Andrea died a good dead that was good.
But i realy missed the so cold clifhanger at the end.
What makes you wondering why what and how.
Now its just a bit to simple.
people were saved and the governor is still out there so he is comming back.
I think it would of been much more exited when the governor and Rick would stand in front of each other in the prisson at the end so you have to geuss what will happen now
I don’t know why Rick left the Machine guns and that box of assorted Hand grenades when he took the weapons from Morgan’s place. I guess none of them have the training to use them. Too bad would have given the Gov. a bigger surprise when he showed up.
Has netflex have season 3
