Season 3 Just Wouldn't Be Season 3 If...

Spoiler

Michonne does not hack up Merle in the Woodbury Zombie Arena (especially if Daryl and Michonne start hooking up)

[CreepMeOut]

I really hope there won't be a time jump and because of that I also hope the first half of the season doesn't drag on like the last. As long as there is suspense,shocking surprises and kills and lots of walkers, I won't be disappointed.

I don't understand the appeal, and this is coming from the guy who tends to prefer (kickass) supporting female characters in media over the female lead (See: Thirteen in House over Cuddy, Lady Sif in Thor over Jane Foster, Maria Hill in The Avengers over Black Widow, Andrea in TWD over Lori, and on and on).

I'd most defiantly prefer some Scarlett Johansson Black Widow over Maria Hill any day.

Hope Lori does not die.....awesome actress Sarah Wayne Callie's playing a very difficult role.

[OFFTOPIC] Please.  Cobie Smulders rocks a SHIELD uniform spy catsuit like a boss where Scarlett Johansson just looks ridiculous.  Plus, much better acting, but that's getting even farther off-topic.[/OFFTOPIC]

Anyways, I agree with there being no time skips between the Season 2 finale and the Season 3 premiere.   I want to watch them discover the prison, work to clear it out, and so on and so forth.  And it's be interesting seeing how they manage it missing two "fighters" (Dale, who's dead now, and Andrea who's missing).  Maybe Maggie can actually make herself not useless and do something for a change.

S'right... she's not a particularly sympathetic character who many have warmed to nor is she balls-to-the-wall mental, a la Alan Rickman, Shane or, hopefully the Guv; it must be hard to play someone so bathetic, and well, crap.

[AdTheAccountant]

I really want to see

Spoiler

the housing development they run into in the books.  Maybe on the way to the prison, with the covered over "Do Not Enter... Dead Inside" sign.

  I'd love to have them start feeling safe again, only for a night, then realizing once again they'll never be safe.

Also, this is a little bit beyond season 3... but I NEED to see

Spoiler

the hunters, and them eating tainted meat.  And then them meeting their end in gruesome ways on Rick's orders.

What Season 3 should really include...

1. Daryl meets up with Merle and hijinks ensue.
2. The governor does some serious harm to one or more members of Rick's group.
3. Daryl gets laid (preferably by Michonne).
4. Zombie fetus kills Lori!!!
5. T-Dog gets lines and, gasp, possibly a character arc!

What would kill the show for me...

1. Daryl or Glenn dies.
2. Lori lives.

They have to get the governor right.

Spoiler

He has to be a complete bastard. Even if he doesn't cut off ricks hand, he should cut off someone's. Even if tyreese isn't in the show, he should cut off someone's head. Lori needs to die, although maybe they'll make it so that the daughter survives. Also he needs to make out with a little zombie girl.

The governor is the most evil son of a bitch Rick has ever fought. It changed their group, and made them more willing to do horrible things to protect themselves. The governor has to be done right, or it'll ruin the season for me.

Kirkman said in an interview at Arizona Comic-Con that the housing development in the episode Secrets, where Shane and Andrea are searching for Sophia, was the TV equivalent of the Wiltshire Estates.

[Akhet]

If Tyreese dosnt show up.

They dont clear the prison

No hack and slash murder mystery.

Spoiler

They get captured, and Rick DOSNT get his hand cut off. Come on people that was cool, surprising and he was never the same after.

The one thing that could be a 'break', could depend on how many times i have to hear 'you follow me?' I may well go insane. I don't know how the characters didn't.

B-b-but its his catch phrase! Not having Axel say "you follow me" would be like not having Shane say "you can't keep them safe, Rick."

But it lost its charm over time!!! I'm sorry to blaspheme against your namesake, but it got old fast, like 'wasssssup' and 'that is boss.'

No worries.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I guess its up to Kirkman to decide if Axel will join the ranks of those with famous TV catchphrases and if so, maybe it'll be used a little more sparingly than the comic.

[Ciren]

"Oh hell nawwwww" cannot be TWD's only official catchphrase...

[HockeyMike24]

If T-Dog and Merle don't have it out.

I think, m'man, it can...

Just think, it's so concise and evocative of the whole z-poc. There's feeling, there's emotion, there's fear... There's immense acting ability on display, there's this whole thing about T-Dog being the strong silent type.

It's perfect.

"When sh*t hits the fan, direct the fan so it splatters on everyone else." Sounds sooooo much better

I agree. I'd plus-one you for both your command AND your awesome username (tip o' the hat to Game of Thrones, I see--my *other* favorite TV show) but unluckily I am tapped out on my plus-one ratings for today--dammit!

Maybe I am biased b/c I've read the graphic novels, but...

Spoiler

Maggie is definitely not a useless character in the comics. In fact, without divulging a *whole* lot of spoilers, she finds her own badassedness and puts it to good use, particularly in the prison.

IMO, Maggie is one of the more likable characters in the whole TWD TV series, male and female. She's still got the human heart and the optimistic spirit that Glenn shares--which is probably why they're so perfect for each other in both the show and the comics. She also is very useful as a member of the group, from a pragmatic sense--she makes regular trips into town, sometimes by herself (at least until Glenn started tagging along lol), so she could mine the pharmacy for medicine and other needs for the group. Turns out the merry band of misfits ended up relying on those meds, quite a bit.

On a related note, why the hell did Glenn toss out the tampons in the episode where he and Maggie get it on in the drug store? Come on, I mean, I know he's looking for those "morning-after" pills (horribly executed plot point IMO, but that's another topic); but wouldn't he be on the lookout for things that would be useful to the group as a whole, especially with all of those women of childbearing age? Dude, I'd be stocking up on those things like there was no tomorrow (so to speak), but then again, I'm a girly, so maybe I don't have pizza delivery guy brain. :-p

Well if

Spoiler

Rick gets his hand cut off, HATED HATED FUCKING HATED THAT in the comic, had to stop reading for awhile out of sheer dismay. He was the Chuck Norris of the zombie world and then just became "the guy with the stump" in terms of psychical capabilities. Plus Andrew Lincoln as Rick is too badass now to get crippled. If it happens I will stop watching for awhile. But Kirkman himself said he regretted the decision so it's probably not going to happen but if it does

I will go into a blistering rage, smash the fucking windows, beat down and torch a local dog, rip my hair out and eat it, defecate on my walking dead comics before promptly bashing my head into trees until I pass out and/or crack my fucking skull. THAT is how much I hate that plot twist. The one blemish in a near perfect saga.


Also if Tyrese isn't introduced soon I will be very upset as I'd take him over Daryl anyday and plus he's an awesome character. My 2nd fave besides Rick.
