I was just looking through the walking dead wiki and apparently Allen, Donna, and Ben were in Tyreese's group.

Speaking of The Walking Dead...
This is from last Sunday's Wizard World Comic Con in New Orleans..
Michael Rooker "Merle" came to our charity booth, plunked down some cash then took some photos with us (me in the stormtrooper costume).

He is one hell of a nice guy too.

Considering how much of an ass he is on the show I'm sure that's good

Well, it's only a TV show and he is acting.

I know, I was just saying, he's not 'playing himself' in the show. A former friend of mine did that in a school play. He's a complete ass himself and he always auditions for the asses of the show.

So I was re-watching the earlier seasons and I noticed something odd. Jenner told Rick at the CDC that no matter how someone dies, they turn. Yet in the first part of the 2nd season, when they're camped out in the car "grave yard" there's several dead bodies that appear to have died by natural causes. Was this an oversight or did they just hope nobody would notice?

They addressed that in the Talking Dead. They were killed in car accidents and suffered fatal head injuries.

Revival for the return of season 3.

Yesterdays episode was just insane. Not exactly the way the siege of the prison started but it was awesome nonetheless.

Anyways I've been thinking a lot about season 4. The show has been renewed for October, but what will this upcoming season be about?

If i remember correctly, the characters are stuck on the road for several issues before they come across the other town run by the black guy. Would this be it, or will they invent their own storyline for season 4? It would certainly be tough to make a 15 plus episode season about them being on the road.

I'm sad to say I'm starting to find it a bit stale. I loved the 1st 2 seasons, and even the beginning of the 3rd season. But the new episodes just aren't doing it for me for some reason. I wish they would have kept the story on the core characters, instead of going off and putting The Governor and his town in there. Kinda reminds me a bit of Jericho. That was a really good show. I just wish this show would have more zombie altercations and move the story of how and why this happened forward.

stale lol, not difficult to see why, as a lot of the characters in it are ZOMBIES

Ironically, more zombies would probably make it a bit more enjoyable it seems to be dragged down by all the dram. Where's the suspense? The action? Maybe even conspiracy. It feels like I'm watching a soap opera. I have a much better program for that. It's called Dallas.

here that's a thought, JR could come back as a zombie, in The Walking Dead, a CG one, it would have to be

And reminded me as to why I shouldn't come to like ANY character on this show because you just know at some point they'll probably end up dead.

I agree.

I understand they can't just follow the comic exactly due to it not really having much of a surprise factor, but this business with Governor, he's starting to look like a pussy, Andrea I want to die horribly and Rick's craziness, well, I don't find it believable. It seems forced and as if its a side note.

They needed to build it slowly. The introduction of the new group also seemed to convienant.

There needs to be a good cull and focus carefully on the main characters, not keep introducing more and altering others.

Though Axel's death really surprised me. I was inwardly hoping he'd turn out to be nasty. like the fella in the comics who decapitated Hersle's twins, they could have had him kill off that blond girl.

SPOILERS FOR LAST TWO EPISODES IN THIS POST.

Genuinely surprised that there hasn't been more discussion about the strongest season of Walking Dead so far.

Merle's redemption arc was wonderfully done, if not a little bit too 'talky' for my tastes though it worked because it was presented as Merle almost talking himself into it. Who knew that the Governor was so able when it came to close combat?

The season finale was a massive disappointment for me. The attack on the prison was disjointed and a massive anti climax which resulted in the Woodbury contingent's eventual slaughter by the Governor himself. I know that this served as a plot device to signal the Governor's final descent into insanity yet it simply didn't sit right with me. Despite everything that has happened to him so far, the Governor has always had a measure of self control which was just cast aside in five seconds.

It'll be interesting to see where they go in the next season. There's a number of character arcs that I'll be interested in seeing such as Carl's own slightly psychopathic tendencies, the Governor's fate, Daryl dealing with Merle's death and many more besides. Despite the finale, this has probably been the best season of the Walking Dead so far.

Can't wait for more!

I am wondering what next season will hold..
My speculations..

Rick will have some issues with woodbury residents and they will somewhat "let their guard down".
The governor will somehow raise a new army and attack the prison by mid season killing all of the woodbury residents and most of Ricks group then will be killed himself.
Rick and Carl escape and somehow find Abraham.

Que mid season finale

Beginning of second part will be the trek to Washington with the season ending as the group arrives at Alexandra.

That makes sense to me.

Agreed.

I was thinking that given the popularity this show is gaining that they'd have the dosh to do an all out, well executed battle. It honestly just felt like a side thought, disorganised and out of character for the Gov. I appreciate his crazy, but it has to be level headed and revenge focussed without some sort of slobbering lunancy.

To be honest, I was hoping Andrea would be tortured longer, that we'd see more of that; not for the sake of torture, but more for the sake of "look at Gov, isn't he nice and brave and helping us Woodbury citizens... but we don't know he's actually a monster".

I'm wondering, given his fight with Merl and the zombies, that maybe they'll pin him more as some kind of lone wolf shadowy figure who swoops in and ninjas people to death.

The rest of the Woodbury people, I think they just let them into the prison so they can spend next season with a majority of time on the "they eating too much, they too old, they useless, lets kick them out" moral delimmas.

I love the comics because it focusses on the morality of humanity, human action and nature within the context of a zombie apocalypse. But it seems to be something they're having difficulty translating to the screen on occasion. Dialogue seems forced, characters change too abruptly without adequate backstory. They chop and change characters as if they're only after the shock factor and to remind everyone there's zombies and crazies.

Looking forward to season 4 though.
