A lot of people like me actually love these "filler" episodes. I've watched this last episode 5 times now and love how perfectly it set up the story. I think this season has brought in even more fans and a lot more people who actually enjoy back stories and tension build up. These episodes are necessary to add to the emotional power of what's about to go down in these last 3 episodes of the season. I love getting to know these characters and watchin them converse. You can't remove all the politics of a finely crafted drama without making it overly repetitive and heartless. It's part of what makes the complete season so amazing.

 

I can't wait to see the deleted scenes from S3. I have the patience of a jelly bean - and want the DVD NOW!!

 

I really don't get this type of criticism. Talk is what all movies and TV shows are about. It's the dialogue that moves the plot forward and develops the characters. If a person has criticism of a particular scene, and they think the dialogue was not in continuity with the character, or that it could have been better written, that's fine. But otherwise who wants to watch non-stop action? That might work for a Bruce Willis film that you watch for 2 hours and leave the theater, but any show that builds an audience and runs 16 episodes and is now going on to its 4th season, just can't keep throwing zombie attacks and gunfights at you constantly.

 

I respect everybody's thoughts, people see things differently. I just wanted to say I've loved season 3. It has jumped to a higher level and is sooo much better than season 2. It's not going downhill. It's movin' on up... to a deluxe apartment in the sky-y-y, oops wrong show, but as like The Jeffersons, it looks like we finally got a piece of the pie. And I'm eatin' it up!

 

it's just the calm before the storm

 

So a good handful of folks say the show is going downhill, but the ratings are getting higher. There's a missing link.....

 

in IMDB board they say they should cancel it lol, with so many viewers and a gigantic fanbase why the hell AMC would cancel it, their most succesful show?, bad, trolling is bad.

 

I find it hilarious that people are fans of a show that doesn't get a lot of viewers so they complain not enough people are watching this "Great shit", and when that happens, "Oh it's mainstream, it's a disaster." Cry me a river dummies.

Anyways, TWD's fanbase is so diverse that we have some intelligent fans, and not-so intelligent fans. But I see the dummies all around the web, especially facebook.

 

I'm psyched about Carol's deleted scene with Merle, and the one with Daryl and a horse. Looking forward to cast interviews as well.

 

I like what you said here. But is it really calm? I think the meeting of Rick and the Gov was probably more mentally violent than any other espisode. It was fantastic. These two wanted to rip each other apart.

While I love a good shoot-out or zombie-pile, there has to be some character development or who the hell would care if someone got killed?

Loving this season.

 

Don't stop posting. You always make me laugh my arse off.

 

I am so stealing this phrase. I'll make sure I attribute it to you though.
