I think it's an award winning performance.

 

The worst acting performance to date has been Tomas.

 

Is it just me or we have more complainers on Season 3 than Season 2 had?

At first I thought when he said "Oh no" sounded silly but I never really had anyone in my life died so now I understand how heartbreaking he is and he sounded so confused.

I hope Andrew Lincoln wins an emmy for this.

 

Really? I personally don't think anyone has done a bad job. Tomas was a believable asshole to me.

 

I think it was Andrew's best performance to date.

 

He tried to hard with words instead of actions in my opinion.

 

I thought it was 'over the top', but that is the opinion of a single guy without kids. So that's all I'll say.

 

Well Ill share my personal experiences. Ive been a Police Officer for 12 years. Ive gone with Homicide and Traffic Homicide to make notifications of the death of loved ones. Ive responded to scenes where someone is dying or has died. Everyone reacts differently. Ive seen people display no emotion, Ive seen people go hysterical. People feel an avalanche of emotions when they lose someone...disbelief, denial,anger. Its a strange thing to witness. Andrew Lincoln was very believable.

 

Im a Deputy in Miami-Dade county...theres no shortage of human misery here.

 

Wow, this scene was pretty much universally aclaimed and yet you'll find a few who actually thought this was bad acting

The scene is so believable, it's exactly how many people reacts. So glad they didn't follow the Hollywood clichés - people are too used to them.

 

There's definitely more complainers this season, but that's a good thing. It means more viewers. TWD is getting huge, and that flushes the trolls and nitpickers.

 

I think Andrew Lincoln is brilliant and that scene just so believable. Heartbreaking to watch. As Rick he really was suffering hurting and in pain. Damn.

 

To be fair, at first I felt the same way. But after watching it a few times, I realized that my initial reaction to it is mainly due because it is highly uncharacteristic of the Rick character to openly break down like that. It is awkward seeing Rick behaving in such a fashion (weeping and falling in the fetal position). Remember though, he just lost his wife!! It's not like he is crying because his best ascot was lost & Elton John Tribute Day is the following week...

 

People react differently to deaths. I for one am usually emotionless for a while.
I had a friend that died when I was 12 in a car wreck and I was numb til the memorial and funeral.
My grandpa died in June and it was the same case.
It might sound or look silly to you, but I think it was spot on.

 

I thought Rick was good up to the point when he started rolling on the ground. I was believing it until then.
Good, but it could have been better.
Remember Al Pacino in The Godfather when his daughter was shot?
Pacino was over the top in that scene, but the WD directors could have taken a page from Coppola on that one!

 

Wow, another thread about Andrews acting, just what we needed , lol. Just like Rokassan stated, unfortunately in my line of work I have seen many people react to the death of their loved ones in many different ways, including the way Rick reacted. I have said it several times, and I will say it again I think he was spot on.

 

I think Andrew did a fantastic job here.

In one of the extra videos that AMC post Andrew explained that he wanted this to represent the moment that Rick breaks and Rick falling down on the ground is supposed to represent him fall apart.

I genuinely think it was amazing scene. Andrew Lincoln is much better then many of the actors in some of the blockbuster films out there.
