The Walking Dead season 3, episode 14, Prey is all about war. As we left last week both camps, Woodbury and the Prison we’re preparing to go to war. We were left with each side not believing the other’s ultimatums. Tonight’s episode opens with a flashback of Michonne and Andrea spending time together on the road. One night at a campfire, Andrea inquires about Michonne’s undead companions. We learn from a glimmer of her reaction that she may have known them in life before they became zombies. If you read the comic book you know this has a completely different turn of events and the two walkers were people close to Michonne.

The Walking Dead season 3, episode 14, Prey is all about war. As we left last week both camps, Woodbury and the Prison we’re preparing to go to war. We were left with each side not believing the other’s ultimatums. Tonight’s episode opens with a flashback of Michonne and Andrea spending time together on the road. One night at a campfire, Andrea inquires about Michonne’s undead companions. We learn from a glimmer of her reaction that she may have known them in life before they became zombies. If you read the comic book you know this has a completely different turn of events and the two walkers were people close to Michonne. By Christian Kern The Walking Dead, season three, episode 13 Arrow on the Doorpost, starts this week ‘in media res’, something Robert Kirkman has become good at with his television interpretation of his The Walking Dead comic book. The episode starts with Rick and the gang arriving at what looks like a factory or farm silo for a clandestine meeting between Rick, Andrea and the Governor. Both leaders have come a long way in their journeys; both are healing from recent events and also coming to grips with their world. Of course even if the Governor claims that he has come in peace he still has a weapon taped under the table. It is obvious that the Governor is ready to assassinate Rick Grimes at this meeting. By Christian Kern What we have with this season of The Walking Dead is two men dealing with their own personal demons. You have both Rick Grimes and the Governor who are broken men trying to fix themselves while still holding their own along with their people. We begin episode 12 of season 3, Clear, with Rick, Carl and Michonne looking for supplies out on the road. As they drive past a living hitchhiker who they try hard to ignore, we see just how removed and isolated they have made themselves as a group even as the hitchhiker catches up to them; they simply leave him once more. By Christian Kern The 11th episode of the current series, I ain't a Judas, is an interesting episode in this second half of season 3. It picks up a little after the previous episodes explosive cliffhanger; for those of you who didn't watch last week, shame on you again, there is no reprieve for spoilers of episodes a week old, so if you are wishing to be surprised then read no further. By Christian Kern Again, The Waking Dead proved to be an amazing piece of Sunday night television. Both Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) and David Morrissey (The Governor) continue to be two of the best things about The Walking Dead adding to its weekly success of being a fantastic television show. This writer may have included some spoilers but he promises that he did not spoil the end for you! By Christian Kern Once again, Robert Kirkman and Frank Darabont have proven with The Walking Dead that a television show can, though incredibly rarely, be far superior to a comic book. So, Season 3, episode 9 kicked off the second half of the season with a bang. Entitled "The Suicide King", this episode lives up to it's name quite nicely. Having found Woodbury, Rick and his crew were faced with having to go back inside to spring Daryl from a death match of brother vs. brother in an arena gauntlet of walkers. |
