The Walking Dead Season 3 Finale Review: They Never Could

"Welcome to the Tombs" was a good episode full of post-apocalyptic platitudes but a lot of senseless death, and it tied a ribbon on the season quite nicely.

Slightly dissapointed

7.0

By AshleyNewstea, May 11, 2013

It's a shame that this episode was the last episode of the season as I feel there should have been a much bigger send off for a season finale. I still enjoyed it but feel that they maybe should have aired a double feature episode or added an extra just to create more suspense between seasons. Feel somewhat indifferent about Andrea though. I mean, she was REALLY starting to annoy me but I can't help but feel the show has lost a good character. Don't know though. Bring on season 4!!! :)moreless

Not as bad as people say it is

I liked it. I liked every episode of TWD. I hates Andrea but she was good for the show. I didnt want to see her die as I didnt want Merle to die. If Darryl dies I join the riot. I love that guy. He is a warrior. With this being said, the way they killed of Andrea was extremely tense. What I didnt like was the prison shootout. How do Glenn and Maggie miss everyone? Carl who I cant stand finished with a cliffhanger. Will he be a cold blooded killer? Or go back to his father's roots. Where did the Governor go? Will the people from Woodbury prove to be too much to handle for Rick;s crew? Will Rick star a romance with that new chick? Will Darryl lose focus? Is Rick sane again? Will Glenn and Maggie get married? Will Beth ever have a line? Will Carol be the new leading lady? There is enough to look foward to for me to keep watching along with 12 million other Americans. So stop complaining. IF you didnt/dont like it then dont watch it. I can say enough about it. I dont read the comics but I love this show. My favorite show since 24moreless

Shouldn't have liked it but I did

8.5

Seeing this episode wasn't overly loved I didn't have high expectations, but I was totally engrossed. I liked Andrea but the amount of time she spent faffing she kinda deserved to die I have never shouted at the TV so much in my life, earlier in the season we saw Glenn in a similar situation but the walker was fully zombified and he managed to kick butt so have no idea what Andrea was playing at but ah well. As for the lack of fighting I think the messages in the episode made up for that, we've seen Rick on a really dark path this season like leaving the guy on the side of the road but I think the end was really significant to him realising he needed to show Karl humanity again, and was so contrasting to the downfall of the governor. Looking forward to season 4, really one of the best shows around along with Justified the acting on both shows is unrivaled!moreless

Season finale

6.0

By Arska, Apr 18, 2013

Yeah as much as I wanted to like this episode I just didn't. The assault on the prison was way too short. And why would the Woodbury guys leave the 50 cals? And how did a few guys on a catwalk manage to drive 10-20 armed men away WITHOUT killing one of them?

IT WAS A GOOD EPISODE but it was nowhere NEAR as good as 'This Sorrowful Life'.

Anticlimatic is the best word to describe this as it is true. If this episode would have been like the 13/16 episode it would have passed. As a season finale... Not so muchmoreless
