The Walking Dead Season 3

[John V]

Saw it last night. Wasn't that great. I'm glad Andrea died of course, but I think the Governor should have too. The last 3 or 4 episodes have been setup for the big showdown, so it should have been a big showdown.

My prediction: they bring the governor back after awhile, but he claims to have changed and seems like a good guy.

I will share a few of the memes that I found particularly funny.

That might have been the most bored I've ever been watching a show I really like.

I'm thinking it's not going to get better.

The problem, as I see it, is that the show has no overall goal or plot line (maybe the big-ass comic books do, haven't read them). It's just about day-to-day survival. It's supposedly a zombie show, but the zombies are just window dressing at this point. As they can't think, they don't make an interesting foe.

They need to introduce an end game, like a search for a cure. I was very surprised when they made it to the CDC early on and no long-term plot line came out of it. They could still do it with rumor of some private facility or something.

When you think about it, a zombie apocalypse isn't that interesting. Find a secure place (they already have), gather lots of weapons and food, fix/expand your fences, start growing crops. Once you get over the initial shock, zombies are just another predator, and not a particularly dangerous one at that. They're slow and knives go right through their skulls.
