The Walking Dead SPOILER THREAD- Darryl's back. Again. But earlier this time.

[anonacfr]

OK I haven't watched it yet but will do tonight so let's start on all the spoiler-y comments!

[GhostOfTheRobot]

YY! Why was Andrea chatting away and not focusing on picking up the fecking pliers?
Love Daryl's Paul Weller hair. Michonne's reaction to poorly Andrea was generating the lip-wobble for me. I love this show. [satisfied sigh]

[JennyPiccolo]

October.

[ipswichwitch]

But when's series 4 coming out???

[NoHank]

Series 2 can be a bit slow but that is only my opinion.

Series 3 however was a blinder from the beginning. Again just my opinion

[RAFdad]

I'm waiting until they all come out on blue-ray while DW is out I can have me time. have watched series1. fantastic. I'm a huge zombie fan and series 1 didn't disappoint.

[CheerfulYank]

I know! Martinez should have ended it right there.

[Wickedgirl]

I didn't want merle or Milton to die.

I so would have shot the governor when he started shooting the "soldiers". I certainly wouldn't have got into the car with him afterwards

[MrsJaqenHgar]

I agree that it didn't feel like a finale but it did tie up a few loose ends while leaving plenty wide open for S4.

Poor Milton. I really liked his character. And I liked that he retained his decency to the end. He didn't go the power hungry, blood thirsty way of the Governor.

Andrea. Meh. If she'd spent a bit more time getting the pliers and a bit less time gassing, she'd have got out of there alive. Or if she'd knifed the Governor when she had the chance...However, her final scene with Michonne was well done. I almost shed a tear but that was more at Michonne's reaction than mourning the loss of Andrea.

Nice to see Rick's moral compass pointing back in the right direction. It'll be interesting to see the conflict between him and Carl as Carl becomes more and more affected by growing up in a ZA. His speech about killing the Woodbury kid to stop him killing one of them was exactly what the Governor said, wasn't it? Kill or be killed.

And why, oh why did Martinez not put a few rounds in the Governor's back when he had the chance? Neither he nor the other guy looked particularly thrilled at embarking on a road trip with the psycho so why didn't they just kill him? I guess we'll find out in S4.

So disappointed in that season finale - last weeks episode with Darryl and Merle was much better.

[M0naLisa]

It's cos he doesn't like not been the only leader but he fucked himself right up the arse in the finale!

[CheerfulYank]

Right? I mean, obviously one can't claim "that's so unrealistic" about a zombie show, but really, starting wars and whatnot?

[JennyPiccolo]

Aye, I wish the gov would get tae fuck as well.its gone downhill since he turned up. I hate all the machine gunny flighty scenes where they shoot 10 bajillion bullets but nobody dies.

[CheerfulYank]

Ugh, the Gov is such a bag of dicks. JUST DIE.

[M0naLisa]

I've just watched this online. Wow!! Didn't feel like the end of a series though. Felt more like the end of a show. Glad the governor has signed up for season 4. It should take off where season 3 ended.

[JennyPiccolo]

It felt like the end of a show rather than the end of a series. There wasn't really a cliff hanger.

[MrsJaqenHgar]

I think the world is trying to watch Game of Thrones and grinding the Internet to a halt.

[JennyPiccolo]

Am halfway through an incredibly slow stream of it as clearly everyone in Europe is trying to watch it online simultaneously. TENSION.

[CheerfulYank]

Watching it tonight but have already read spoilers.

[Aspiemum2]

Watching it tonight, hope it's a good one. Will avoid this thread until then!

[MrsJaqenHgar]

Oh. My. God.

Just seen the finale. Anyone else watched it yet?

[CheerfulYank]

Merle knew Rick would change his mind about sending Michonne to the Governor (and he did) so he took her himself in hopes that the Governor would give them some time. He wanted to protect Daryl.

[TwllBach]

Oh oh oh I'm watching it today! Did I miss something? I thought they had decided not to take michone to the governor?

I said on the other thread that I loved the exchange between carol and merle about being a late bloomer.

I'm only at the first break but I'm sure this is the most we've heard daryl speak all season. He manages to look so vulnerable and confused when talking to merle and he really didn't like the comparison between merle and Glenn and maggie and rick and michone.

[CheerfulYank]

I think because of the things she said. I thought she diffused the situation admirably. Also I think Merle, racist awful bastard though he was, would have a hard time actually hurting a woman. When the governor said he was going to "talk" to Maggie in a previous episode, Merle looked distinctly uncomfortable.

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Agree guv shot in chest so that merle didn't die but came back

Felt so sorry for Darryl - quite happy to comfort him

'Blondes hikes bosoms'

Didn't get why he let michonne go but glad he did :)

Last one next week :(

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Ahhhh

Read briefly someone for shot

Must not look at this thread till Friday night / Saturday when I've watched
