The Walking Dead Season 3 tonight! (NO SPOILERS ALLOWED!!!)

While I still think the show would be more aptly named "The Unlikely Survivors" I'm glad to have some zombie goodness back on TV.

One of the many cool things they said on the Larry King interview (and per big#44, yes, King sucks but Andrew & Sarah were excellent ) was how the title has always had a double meaning. The more meaningful aspect was how some of the survivors become a sort of walking dead at times in their own right.

"Holy ****!!" The end was awesome! How come the samurai lady's zombie pets don't try to attack her?

Just watch it, woooooow. Rick ain't playing any games this season, I like it!

I noticed the double meaning early on because horror often seeks to make the scarey creatures a dangerous feature of the setting and focus on the people as both good and bad. Zombie novels especially focus on the often deadlier threat of survivors. I read entirely too much crap.

What I meant of course was that the survivors are stumbling idiots that should have died by now. The reasons are too many to bother listing though ill point out the loud motorcycle and the fact that they attack zombies with knives, on purpose, as examples

Ah, never made the connection with the title though—I like it. I just finished watching it.

Likely they've learned (I guess even zombies can learn) that they can't. In addition to hacking off their arms she has removed their lower jaws also, so no biting/feeding.

1. Here I am sitting and thinking about how zombies move. Like where do they get the energy to move. Do they even digest? If so then the longer they go, wouldn't they become weaker? Then I remember that I have to suspend disbelief to enjoy a show like this.

2. I'm just a sucker for maggie yesterday. Low cut tank top, working up a sweat killlin' zombies=kinda hot.

Pretty solid episode last night. Definitely think the inmate twist will add some excitement this season.

Also did you notice that when she was walking them that they were wearing backpacks? I am thinking she is using them as supply mules. Someone else already mentioned about the no arms and no jaw thing.

When she figured out how to kill the armored ones was a special moment, I got misty

[Skinz4Life12]

i was hoping the third season picked up right where the second season left off (like season 2 did after season 1). I usually prefer when shows transition like that but this episode was still awesome despite skipping the winter and fast forwarding a few months.

below. Can we post stuff specifics that happened in the episode last night?

I'm really bummed about Hershel. Is there any chance he survives and doesn't turn into a zombie?

Also, I really hope that Andrea and Michonne meet back up with Rick and the group. I'd be really disappointed if they never reunite by the end of the season. It looks like Andrea and Michonne are going to meet up with another group that will keep them occupied for a while and there will be two separate story lines going on.

If it has already aired, it should be fair game here.

I always think of the biology of zombies, and I realize that it just isnt possible the way people have created them. Especially after the last episode of season 1 when the doctor showed the MRI and pointed out that there brains are almost totally inactive. Any one who's taken a basic brain anatomy course can point out the flaws with this idea. After that I just accepted that evolution would have to take an extreme detour for zombies to ever happen in real life.

Agree on both points! Now that we seen our survivors have made it through an entire winter, im starting to question how long the zombies will survive. As you said, where are their bodies getting fuel?

And Maggie was killing me with that tank top. Mmmmm.

From seeing previews of the season at the end of the episode, I hope this season's "the governor" theme doesn't get cheesy...
