Season 3 continued its excellent start with an episode that turned our expectations against us in really cool ways.

This series is starting to get good, less talk and more action. I prefer it when the show focuses on the drama of a situation and not the character relations.

it was an absolute horrible episode, it was so bad my dog can come up with a better script than that, speaking of that my fish can come up with a better series. Rick kills alive people, he is 'special', he should be fed to the walkers and then eaten for brunch .

On the heels of last week's amazing premiere we get no insight into Michonne and Andrea. After meeting the prison survivors Rick and the group whisk Hershel back to their cell block for treatment but they're not optimistic and they even handcuff him to the prison bed. Rick says that the prisoners can help them clear out a cell block for themselves. The prisoners had managed to maintain relative sanity, despite those already insane. When CQBing with the inmates back to back and hand to hand one prisoner is bitten and their leader, a Latino with long hair who seems to be their leader, cuts the bitten guy to ribbons without any remorse. Later on, when clearing out even more Rick almost gets hit by the guys weapon and when the guy says it was an accident and Rick not looking to make any new psychotic enemies he puts his machete through the guy's skull and another flees the scene. Rick locks him out of the prison gate and he is eaten leaving only a white petty burglar and a hardened African American man. The white guy begs for his and life and says that he knows nothing about the other guy trying to kill him. They give them a cell block and tell them to burn the bodies in there of the inmates and guards. Things didn't look good for Herschel but he came out alive because Rick acted quickly under pressure which can keep Herschel around for a little while longer. Caryl getting Glen to find her a walker to test out the surgical cutting to deliver Laurie's body as practice was believable from a practical standpoint since she wants to be prepared as possible obviously and needs a cadaver that has a uterus she can practice cutting into. Daryl, T-Dawg, and Rick showed caution with the inmates which was rightfully deserved. The inmates did seem a little naive after having spent 10 months in that cafeteria but I guess that would be something to cling onto is that help would come for them in order to stay sane. A decent follow up episode and from the looks of it Michonne and Andrea appear to be in for a world of trouble next week.moreless

Sick Review

7.0

By thefanof, Oct 25, 2012

It was better than the premiere, but I am just not impressed with this show as much as the fanatics of it are. The acting is atrocious across the board, and there's too many storylines and characters I have zero interest.

Rick trying to be a tough guy is also coming off as really lame.

- Oscar: He-Man couldn't get through them.
  To imply how tough certain doors are to get through, he cites the super strong cartoon hero He-Man. He-Man was the lead character of the 1980's cartoon series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
