I'm not a writer but I play one on TV. Ha!

I would've asked which show, but you deleted your account

Wow. Reading those articles has me nervous. What was Glen's real reason for leaving? A lot of the articles I've been reading are leaning towards AMC being cheap. And that is evident by the second season's first half, which coincidentally had a different showrunner then. Glen picked up the second half of season 2, and boy did it pick up.

What do you guys think? Do you think it'll be good anymore?

Personally, I think it'll still be good. I mean, they are based on the comics, so the writing has technically been done. I hope that by them sticking more closely to it, it'll be as great a show as it currently is.

If you have a disposable cast it would make sense that everyone behind the camera is disposable too? Oh well. The show won't suffer because of it, in my humble opinion.

Put another way, the zombies in seasons 1 and 2 were frightening. With the exception of the episode where Hershel is bitten they've only been annoying props this season. The zombie apocalypse needs to continue to evolve -- why didn't winter slow them down, do some of them have any intelligence, how did the plague start, is the only route of tranmission being bitten, where is the herd going, etc, etc. Oh, I think Woodbury would have been truly frightening if the Governor had turned to enforced but hidden cannabalism to feed his town (idea borrowed from a Syfy movie). That would have given great weight to Michonne's "Nobody leaves this town on their own" statement.

^^^YES^^^ I love those ideas...too bad you aren't a writer on TWD

I had a problem with Michon not warning Rick and Daryl that Andrea and Meryl were there. I spent the last episode trying to figure out why someone so smart and survival oriented would omit such a vital piece of information because the element of surprise could kill all of them.

 

[hellcatedy]

FUCK. Jon Bernthal was so fucking hot. Guys, will there ever be a character as hot as Shane on TWD? I THINK NOT. Ugh, that beard, that swagger, that errythang. So gorgeous.

Jon sure was the hottest guy on the show. Andrew and Norman are easy in the eyes too though, so all is not lost.

 

[GamerBear]

I think with Rick being crazy and fucked in the head we will see more Shane illusions in the near future of this season.

Because as far as I could tell she does not trust Rick's group virtually any more than Woodbury and she was just using them as a way to get in so she could try to break the place's hold over Andrea. She used them for an end, that's why she abruptly ditched them mid-mission to go to the Governor's house.

The problem with that theory...the element of surprise could have cost Michon her life as well as the rest of the group so she basically handicapped them...and she doesn't seem like the kind of girl who would handicap herself in any way. I was also thinking...if she didn't want to tell them about Merle or Andrea...what could possibly be her motive?

I think she had a respect for Rick and company that she didn't have for the Governor because Rick didn't trust her and showed her that...and that is something Michon can respect versus the psycho phony bullshit the governor laid on her. I see her character as the sharpest knife in the drawer which is why I had a problem with the inconsistency.

I like this, and agree with it very much. Now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Why on earth would the governor trust them just like that with no remorse? I mean, even Herschel took Rick's group in, but he was still trying to set boundaries.

This assumes Michonne cared anywhere near as much about what happened to Rick's people as what happens to herself and Andrea. Which as you yourself said, her actions do not support believing.

She very nearly all but instantly drew her weapon on Rick for touching her... these are people she supposedly trusts and knows are good guys? I don't think she trusts anyone but herself.

I love this show and just wish it wasn't so long between seasons or "mid"seasons.

Bottom line... I think the writers dropped the ball ...or maybe bad editing left the part where she warned them on the floor...

I don't think she necessarily trusts Rick completely...or anyone for that matter...but I do think she knows they are basically good guys.

The problem is they wrote her as a very bright and capable survivor and they didn't follow through. Had they used Andrea as bait and pretended they were gonna harm her they might have all dropped their guns...I have to think Michon would have been smarter than that. As you said...she might not care about Rick but she does care about herself and Andrea.

Yeah...at this point in the game...anyone who has open arms should be viewed as suspect. It is a different world and Michon seems more aware of that than anyone. Well...Michon and Carl.

I figured that maybe she just trusts women but after Andrea drinking the crazy water and being a lost soul it makes Michonne give up hope on trusting people. I just hope that she stays alive for Season 3 because she is my favorite character.

 

[GamerBear]

I think whatever happened in that secret room with Andrea aiming her gun at Michonne I think she might be extra careful with trusting Rick and the gang. I hope Andrea goes, cause she has constantly made more dumb moves in the entire series than any other character has.

I just don't get what the show is doing with her character. If fans were supposed to like her as some kind of strong female character, almost no one I have ever talked to about TWD likes her at all, and most want her dead at this point. I feel like all her character did was spend 2 seasons absolutely whining about wanting to be recognized for what Michonne came in and was right from the start in season 3 without even trying. And she still isn't independent or strong, she just seems to delude herself that she is. (Andrea, that is.)

 

[GamerBear]

The thing I saw was that from Season 2 she wanted to be one of the guys with balls, she wanted to watch after the farm but she was reduced down to house maid and she didn't want to be like that. She ends up having a gun given to her and fucking shoots Daryl in the head and she continues to make stupid decisions. If I was Rick I would just let Andrea die with the village of idiots who are so fucked in the head.

From the beginning I wanted Carl to die the most but now I might have to cancel out of that decision and hope that Andrea is the one to die.

My TWD watching buddy and I call Carl the "5th Column of season 2", the primary antagonist of the season. lmao.

I went shopping for a TWD wall Calendar yesterday. I went to the Books a Million, no luck. Went to different malls' calendar kiosks and no luck!

So I decided to shop online.

This can't be right!

That's exactly what my mouth did!

 

[justdra]

I would hope Rick or Daryl would come wrapped up in the calendar because that is the ONLY way I would pay those prices. Someone has had their brain eaten by a walker, lol.
