Not sure why everyone is so down on that episode.

Darryl was going to leave with Merle. Remember the dream Darryl had? He's almost like an abused kid that can't help but follow Merle. Merle raised Darryl.

Andrea had always been annoying, but her speech was part of the governor's plan. He wants her to be a real part his group,a leader an important figure so he can manipulate her to exploit Ricks group. She's more part of Woodberry than the prison group now.

Glenn is my favorite character and the story line has me worried lol. Anyone who reads the comics knows what I mean, lol.

As far as Carol goes, it wasn't that long ago she was prodding Darryl to take the leadership away from Rick, so who knows what's in her mind.

Rick seeing Loris ghost was pretty cool. If anyone has read the comic, the story is all about Ricks downward slide into insanity.

I think the site is definitely going more like the comic now, which imo is a good thing.

The show is going more like the comic? Ummm.....no.

Rick is a bad ass in the comics for one thing, he has a bout with depression over Lori dying but it doesn't last long and isn't lingering on like it is this season or at least it feels like it is, he needs to get the hell over it and take the bull by the horns, he doesn't say much either, which is annoying.

I know there is alot left to happen but if I have to sit through an episiode of Rick talking to that stupid bitch's ghost, I'm going to shoot myself in the face. It might be part of the drama but fock that, the drama is to see who wins the battle of Woodbury vs the Prison of which Andrea played a very large part in helping Rick's group, she never even met the governor in the books.

They get little bits and pieces right and then they run off in some silly direction like Rick trying to decide if Tyreese can stay or not? What? is he retarded? Of course he can stay!! And so can Michonne!! They are 2 of his biggest allies and on this show he wants to throw both of them out on their asses? Really?

It can't get any different than the book and in my opinion, dumber in many cases.

And while they're at it, what the fock were they thinking with this baby? Just another distraction from what the fans really want to see.

Totally! I was confused as all hell that those two were the ones to bring Tyrese's group shovels. They let the convict around the young girl...while armed with a shovel???

I think a lot of the problem is that there's a TON of backstage conflict with the showrunners. Two have stepped down already (I assume at the behest of AMC) so it's a surprisingly drama ridden show, on-screen and off.

They could have made the first 3 seasons into a 95 minute movie, splattering zombies and useless story lines get old quickly, the guy who plays Rick is a $hitty actor too, what kind of moron would name their kid Carl?

Check out 'Video on Trial', now thats a show!

this part didn't bother me one bit. good call on that.

but this is so DUMB! she saw all the heads! the gladiator fights! all the warnings from Machionne and just because they've ****ed, she's rallying everyone for him?! weak.

Glenn is my favorite character and the story line has me worried lol. Anyone who reads the comics knows what I mean, lol.

spoilers? i've read it, but that's not exactly tough to figure out. hahaha. way too early for that, imo.

Rick seeing Loris ghost was pretty cool. If anyone has read the comic, the story is all about Ricks downward slide into insanity.

no! Rick's mental issues are WONDERFUL in the book. in the show he's seeing a ghost and yelling at real people about it?! come on!

I think the site is definitely going more like the comic now, which imo is a good thing.

totally, completely disagree. they should, but they sure ain't. spraying bullets all over? not understanding how useful Tyrese could be? Rick's reaction to his baby? how stupid Woodbury's residents are when three (3!) zombies make it in? and that's just in this one episode!

nothing like the comics. but i sure hope they fix that before i completely lose interest.

I wish I never read the comics. I was so excited when I heard they were making it into a show and after watching it I am so let down. I'm only about 3-4 episodes into season 3 but it doesn't sound like it gets better...

I'll never understand the thinking of the minds who make movies and shows based on books/comics and then feel the need to change everything. The material is all there for them, it's already popular for a reason...

"Let's take this really popular book and make into a movie, but lets make sure to change everything and make it worse."

They change things so that people that read the comics would have some surprises.

The key with Rick, and I didn't mean to rip on you cookie, is that in the books, he struggles with his sanity but nowhere near the degree they are doing on the show.

The reason Rick is a good leader is that he doesn't show his insanity in an insane world, that's what makes him so cool, and now he's waving a gun around and seeing Shane, Lori, who is next? Dale? It's retarded and upsetting that they are making the most important character into someone who needs a padded room.

Everyone else saw that, what are they supposed to think? He fell out of his tree? Of course! That doesn't make him a good leader so they are sh1tting all over it with totally unnecessary drama.

The key characters of the books are Rick, Carl, Andrea, and Michonne and while all 4 are still on the show, they are not together, they are scattered and divided and the only one that is stable is......Carl??

They are ruining the 4 main characters and trying to ruin Glenn too while they're at it and the one character they have added that brought something of value, Darrel, he's now run off with his long, lost psycho brother and ripped apart the group.

Yay.

I think it all might work out in the end but come on, they are doing so much unnecessary crap, it's not even funny. I can take some but this is too much, mess with one or two characters to make it different, I could understand and accept that but they've gone off the deep end writing these shows.

If he got more screen time, everyone would realize he's just as one dimensional as every other character and a pretty bad actor.

For the record, I meant to say "not like the comic"...Lol.My bad.

What I meant comparing the Rick going insane now, to in the comics is that in the comics, Woodberry is a bit away. So many other things happened before in the comics.

Shane trying to kill him and Carl shooting Shane happened way before. The question of who's baby it was didn't linger like the show. Glenn and the others stayed at the farm. Rick never went to the CDC and has to carry that secret around. He never had Darryl to lean on, which made him much tougher much quicker imo. Many more people died before they found Woodberry. Both Lori and the baby BOTH died together, not in childbirth, but by the Governor. There was no Merle to divide the camp and no body liked Shane from day one. There was no "moral compass" like Dale that kept Rick in touch with his old, good guy self. By time they get to prison, Rick is a much different guy.

The Governor raped Micchoine, not kind of Maggie in the comics, so that's why Glenn's character is different. Maggie gave Glenn a sense of worth he didn't have before, so not being able to protect her has caused him to feel vengeance. Remember the "need a guy go down the well, get Glenn" speech? That makes perfect sense.

The farm was much less important than on the show and Rick didn't have a wise old Hershal to rely on.

In the show, Rick has been forced to deal with things on a much different timeline than the comic. Remember, right now I'm pretty sure it's only been like 10 months on the show since Rick woke up.

In the comics, by the time the battle with Woodbury happens, the baby is like a year old, so in the comics everything that's happening now to Rick, he's much more adjusted to the new world.

I love the show and where it's going, but I get how some people might not.

[mikebflorida]

All I know is that I better not see Rick talking to that bitch Lori for 1/4 of every episode, that will ruin it for me, I couldn't wait for her to be killed off and now she's back? Ugggh!

Rick needs to man up and take charge of the group, not run important people off and be all whacked out, it's just retarded.

Do you think he ran Darryl off? Do you think he should have brought Merle back?
Did you read the comics Mike?

They already said it wasn't going to happen, so I'm not giving away spoilers, but in the comic the Gov tortured Rick pretty badly and cut off his hand. He turned pretty savage after that.

I think the show tries to humanize Rick a little more than the comics.

I'm not sure why everyone is so surprised and down on Rick going insane. He was talking to no one only weeks before on the phone. The writers say Rick has PTSD and one on the symptoms can be hallucinations, especially lost dead ones.

One complaint I do have is that is seems their mixing the Woodbury story line with the Alexandria Free Zone.
