Okay episode, but the show is starting to get stale. Feels like Rick going insane is being forced in as a desperate attempt at making it more interesting. Also, they're very good at making pretty much everyone unlikeable.

My biggest issue is the Governor. They never provide motivation for him. He sets up this community, but seems to pick who he's going to allow to join and who he will kill based on the flip of a coin. Someone said it's because he's afraid of groups who have the capability to defend themselves, but then he takes Andrea and the black chick in. It makes no sense. He's part humanitarian setting up the town, and part psychopath collecting heads and randomly killing people who could make his group stronger. It's like they just wanted a villain character because the zombies are boring, so they created a person with absolutely no human characteristics.
Bro, if you can't figure out why he took Andrea in then I can't help you.

He takes in people he can control. He can control Merle, he can't control a squad of NG fuckups.

its basically the same thing all the time. the group gets attacked then finds a place to hang out for a while and trade dialogue then their group is threatened, a character(s) dies then they find a new place, new characters (a token black person included) are introduced, throw in the zombie fights here and there and then the cycle repeats.
I said the exact same thing to my wife last night after the show. It's like they don't know where to take the show next. They just follow the same cycle.

Agree with this and everyone else.

Here is my theory on this.

Correct me if im wrong but did they not extended how many Episodes this season from 12 to 18-20 some?

Im pretty sure they did, so to of doing what you said above, they now this season due to this are haveing to way, way,way strectch their shitty writing for the shows to water it down even more.

So their are like hmm, we cant have Rick go Organize and head to battle the Governor to soon the main Villian this year, lets have the Bat shit Crazy annoying Lori who is dead now take up most of the next 3-4 Episodes.

Producers Brilliant!
Hey we are going to promote you to head Writer now!

Can you blame them for wanting to drag this show out? I'm pretty sure it has more viewers than Breaking Bad, Mad Men and the next five of this network's shows combined.

It is following the outline of the comic. If it didn't, then you would have people QQing about that.

I thought people were already upset that it wasn't following the comics.

Not that I've read the comics. I would imagine the comics are pretty much the same sort of terrible circular plot arcs though. Nothing is ever resolved and the groups finds themselves in the same uninteresting zombie fights, caused by the same carelessness, and interspersed with soap opera dialogue.

Last night's episode was boring from start to finish, jesus what a let down. If you're coming back from a mid-season break at least have cool shit happen. I wish Andrea and her stupid DUMBASS facial expressions would get killed. When she did her little speech in the town all I could think was "Fuck, this is Lost all over again." Another dumbass bitch getting involved in all the drama where she doesn't belong.

I don't like crazy, poltergeist seeing Rick... Well, to be honest, I didn't care to much for the sane version of Rick either. The mid-season kick off episode was underwhelming. Which is PAR FOR THE COURSE!

I think the main point of last nights episode was to show that fundamentally, Rick and the Governor aren't that different at this point.

thats true. both are now equally bad. for a while there rick had some purpose, his best moments were towards the end of last season. this year hes just coasting and now the wheels have come off the train and hes dead in the water. the first thing he should have done after last night's rescue, was tell his crew. ok guys get your gear, we are getting the fuck out of here. woodbury is going to retaliate. hi new people. you want this prison? have at it. say hi to the governor for me. govenor same deal except his fail came much faster. dude starting falling apart almost right off the bat.

Rick's fall down the ladder of sanity really isn't off base. I mean the dude has been betrayed and almost murdered by his best friend, had his wife killed by his own son while she was having Shane's baby, is responsible for keeping the group alive and moving, and let alone all the shit he's had to do and deal with. He pulls himself back together in the comics, so I assume he will here too.

According to some stuff I read, I think Tyreese is going to help him get back on track. He's going to be the new heart of the group.

I must of missed the whole Rick seeing a ghost thing. I wasn't really paying attention when I watched the episode. Looks like I really didn't need to.

I had stopped watching midway through the first half of season three and caught up yesterday to then watch the premiere and the writing is just sobad.Whoever is choreographing the action needs to be fired. The show's attention to detail is piss fucking poor. I hardly understand why anyone is doing anything and after repeated character assassinations on Rick by the writers he is clearly the villain of the story. The best thing the newcomers could do would be to leave and go to Woodbury.

Yeah, I saw that. I don't fully understand why it gets the ratings that it does. It would be like if the season premier for Star Trek Voyager got the highest ratings ever in UPN's history. Really? This mediocre mess is your highest rating programming?

You people nitpick way too fucking much. This is almost as bad as reading talkbacks at AICN.

Because people who shout about how much the show sucks can't stop posting and watching it. It's a fucking zombie show, half the fun is making fun of some of the stupid and absurd shit and praying that person you hate dies.
