Sana man lang nagamit si Merle sa final prison battle.  His death was an episode short.

I think what he meant was that it's become a tad too 'talk-y', especially in the last 3 episodes. Obvious na dina-drag on na lang towards the season cliffahanger, which is of course the prison battle.


Exactly what I meant... too much wasted time on talking and talking, the story is not moving it's just goes around and around...

Come on let's get on with it!!!

Yup it is obvious that the producers are milking the series for all it's worth ..... too many dragging moments and filler episodes.

Some of the filler episodes/scenes had some nice moments to them (Rick, Carl & Michonne's trip) ...... while some are simply dragging e.g. Glenn's endless rants.

Looking forward to the season finale ...... just to see some potential shocks and some finality to a few storylines.

Some of my hunches for the season 3 finale (regardless of what I've read from comics series):

The deaths of Carol, Hershel, Beth, Milton, Martinez, Tyreese's sister & Ben's dad.


Also, Judith, since her guardians will kick the bucket ..... or killing-off either Glenn or Maggie ...... Judith's death will still be a shock since it's obviously more graphic on TV & Glenn/Maggie's death just because they just got hitched (and one would expect such sorrow from the ZA universe).

I've read that there will be TWO major deaths before the season ends. Whether or not Merle counts is unclear. I'm near 100% certain that Ben's dad will die the next episode.

You also can't use the comics series as a basis to guess because the TV series is quite radically different.

True. If they don't speed up the story a bit. Viewers might just get bored because the suspense is now much lesser compared to season 3's first half. Just like Prison Break, after season 2, the series just got less interesting. Most episodes became slow and got boring.

Awesome penultimate episode! Redemption for Merle! I just hope Daryl eventually pieces everything together and realizes what Merle did for him.

Also, great discussion about Merle on The Talking Dead.

Ok lang yan, probably most of us following this series have already watched the last episode :) Hopefully the finale episode will make up for the past boring episodes. I hope the 'war' between Rick and the Gov wont disappoint. I think to stir-up the interest for next season, Rick's group will move out of the prison and much like season 1, they will be on the move again - which I think provided a lot anticipation in terms of where they will end up, who they will come across, and who's gonna turn.

baka itong season 3 finale will set up Season 4.. pero sana ay may satisfying end naman...maybe rick's and the group will leave the prison and will find a better and secured settlement na mas maganda don sa Woodbury.. then find new characters to increase their force... di ba ang saya pag ganyan.

Zombie-inspired TV themes are becoming popular after the success of The Walking Dead. I even saw a preview of a zombie TV series from UK the other day. Wala pa lang accent ang mga zombies, because the UK zombies sounded exactly like the ones from the US. :)

Season finale spoilers are already popping out in the usual places.

If it holds true, then it's a curveball from what most of us expect from the finale.

Lower your expectations for the finale...it was okay, but I certainly didn't see one major character death coming, which marks another radical departure from the comics.  :(

At this point, both the TV series and the comics are now two separate divergent realities.

Season finale ...... and still the producers are milking TWD for all its worth.

Nice build-up to the prison assault ..... then .... that's it?

All of a sudden, no one can seem to hit any living thing ...... well, I suppose Carl still has the shooters touch.  ;D

Some viewers think/theorize that the anticlimactic prison battle was just meant to open the doors for yet another confrontation between Rick and the Governor, the latter this time with a bigger, badder army of followers next season.

But one commenter on a US web forum said it best that this would amount to nothing more than "just pure stretching of one season storyline into another."
Going 3D, at last! (And I don't care it it's a fad.)
