Just watching this weeks episode at the moment...

good episode which is all about setting up for a big season finale!

Hank Scorpio · 18-03-2013 03:34AM

That was pretty awesome

The warehouse scenes were very intense

JayzuzHowiye · 18-03-2013 04:07AM

Meh.

Andrea can do one.

Kirby · 18-03-2013 08:50AM

For a split second I thought they may actually kill her off. Fans don't like her, shock value, she has seemed pretty annoyed in recent conventions and interviews. It made sense.

Then I came to my senses. :P

Jason Todd · 18-03-2013 11:44AM

I did think she would be killed off there, but it's interesting to see what'll happen with her now. I don't have this big Andrea-hate everyone else has. I hope she can integrate into Rick's group again.

As it stands 'Spoilers' isn't in the title of this thread, so I'm not going to give anything away, but I enjoyed the episode. More music over the end scene but I'm getting used to it now, and it was a decent tune by itself anyway! :P

Think it's getting pretty boring. The first half of the series didn't develop enough plots and now we're left with an excruciatingly slow build up to the finale. Even the last episode with Rick and the other two back near their house was good, but now it's just slow and pretty boring.

Looking forward to the finale, better be worth it, because there has been a serious build up to it.

There were a few ham-fisted scenes which were disappointing.

The opening flashback felt out of place and irrelevant to a large degree.

The torching of the walkers in the pit, followed by the Gov quizzing Tyrese, and the immediate pan to Milton with a shady suspicious look. It almost felt like "ok children lets take this slowly 2 + 2 = ? ...then flash a big FOUUUUUR across the screen" well done kids!!

Also The Gov surrounded by what 20 walkers with one clip in the gun and a shovel, he manages to escape and track down Andrea who had a massive head start and who, for the life of me, i will never understand why the fcuk she walked when the truck was parked outside the building, I guess it is Andrea.

The scenes with Tyrese chatting to yer man (so important dont even care what his name is) felt so flat and pointless. Discussing an event which is meaningless, not least because the aforementioned dude is clearly canon fodder by the end of the season. The "tension" between the 2 men was almost laughable, as was any chance of Tyrese pusing him into the pit.

The bit with Tyrese missing with 4 bullets felt like a shoe-horned wink to the fans. Yeah, we get it they never miss....oh wait Tyrese misses by 8 feet with a slow advancing walker!!

I've been a massive supporter of this season and have saw the good outweigh the bad, but this episode fell flat for me. It had some redeeming qualities but overall wasn't impressed.

The lasting impression the episode left was that the Woodbury-centric episodes are just not enough on their own.

Am I expected to believe that the two white dudes are supposed be father and son?

Another meh episode.

mrbrown69 · 18-03-2013 04:28PM

Yer wan could have at least pinched the Guvnor's truck while he was busy in the wharehouse rather than wander off on foot.....little things like that bug me

expectationlost · 18-03-2013 05:42PM

could the torture chair be another fake out, governer not quite as evil as some expect, he wants somebody to sow up his eye...?

mariebeth · 18-03-2013 05:55PM

I enjoyed this weeks episode, in as much that it was another build up episode. Really feel like they're dragging this out because they didn't know how to end it.

I think this is the first time I've commented on an episode thread in here, but Andrea, for F*** sake!!!

There was a perfectly good jeep outside that warehouse. Why would you not take it?

He probably had the keys with him anyways , it would be far from my biggest issue with the episode tbh .

cjmcork · 18-03-2013 06:56PM

I actually enjoyed this ep - it wasn't until we were 20 mins in when I realised

no flipping daryl AGAIN :mad:

that Andrea's a flipping gonk though - does the blonde go all the way into the brain cells (and I say that AS A BLONDE!)

Only if we also get someone to say "Sheeeeeeit" every now and again.

Felt it was very strange that The Governor knew exactly where Andrea would be. First going across the field, which may be the most direct route. Then going into that building. It was very much a slasher movie setup.

cjmcork · 18-03-2013 07:08PM

Cuddy was in House (so to speak), Cutty the Wire

they CUT in TWD (and slash and crossbow, blah blah) :-)

sparkthatbled · 18-03-2013 11:44PM

So the penny finally dropped for Andrea, this is a bad man... Then she makes the worst attempted escape ever! Have to echo the "take the trucking truck, you idiot!" sentiments already expressed. I actually just assumed that she did, because to not take it, you know, would be kind of stupid... Also the whole

Milton and the pit thing was pretty poorly handled, i knew it was him as it was happening, given how Andrea was just telling him he can't just sit on the sidelines anymore.

But then they had to spell it out in big flashing letters... I think that deserves one of these:

Overall another sparse episode, I really hope this is the last buildup episode because I can't take much more of this filler crap...

Grimebox · 19-03-2013 12:08AM

What is up with the direction in program... Michonne used to have a constant disgruntled look on her face and now tyresse is confused-worried-disgusted at all times

5starpool · 19-03-2013 12:36AM

Didn't particularly enjoy that episode I have to say, and most of the reasons have been covered already.

colly_06 · 19-03-2013 12:55AM

Anyone else spot the Irish flags at Woodbury?

and she hasn't learned on to hotwire cars yet?

so did she go to the meeting place in order to draw in the governer and fight him there rather then nearer the prison, or why did she go there?

Wanted to get out of the open and that was the nearest place of refuge?

and he arrived moments after she did.

Lovely Bloke · 19-03-2013 08:19AM

I wasn't sure if it was the meeting place or not.

Penn · 19-03-2013 08:47AM

Even if she didn't have the keys to The Governor's jeep and couldn't hotwire it, she could have at least popped the tyres with her knife or messed up the engine or something. She essentially left him to die in the warehouse, and knew if he survived he'd come after her. Making sure he couldn't drive, whether it be to drive to catch up to her or drive back to Woodbury, would have helped weaken him further.

Overall, not a great episode, though nice to see Tyreese starting to get some actual plot other than "Can we stay here because we don't want to go back out there"

Shane St. · 19-03-2013 09:22AM

Is next week the finale? Can't add to what other people have said, was a poor enough one but hopefully the finale will be good

No, two more episodes. This was episode 14/16.

I liked the build up & tension of the warehouse scenes but there were so many holes it this episode for me... The 'sudden' turn around of the nerdy guy (sorry can't rem the name) & then what was with him backtracking...

The flashback at the beginning seemed clumsy but was good to get a bit more insight into michonne...

I'm sorry but HOW THE HELL did the gov. 1) find Andrea off the road 2) find her after she escaped into the trees... There must have been so many places she could have gone/hidden 3) know which abandoned warehouse she went into?? 4) find her in there 5) escape certain death from the walkers 6) and this is the worst for me... How did he possibly catch up & find her in the bushes around the prison...??! He must have some sort if supernatural abilities!!!
Don't even get me started on her not taking the truck.... In fact I just presumed she did... And why didn't she find an abandoned car right from the start rather than running all the way to the prison?!!
The whole 'I'm getting out of here, don't try to stop me' thing seemed clumsy to me too...

On another note, I think I missed something in a previous ep... Did Andrea go to the prison at some stage to set the meeting up between rick & the gov??
And when exactly did the other guys leave the prison and join woodbury...?

I'm guessing they happened around the same time & I missed a few scenes or part of an ep...??

I'm looking forward to & dreading the end of s3....
