OT: Walking Dead Season 3 trailer; Discuss
Title says it all. The Internets are abuzz with the new four-minute trailer for season 3 of The Walking Dead.
Although I have not read the comics, I am excited to see Woodbury and the Governor. Check out the surprise at the end of the trailer. Enjoy and discuss.
EDIT: SPOILERS for series up to this point discussed below.

Wow, I can't wait for this!
Or you can go to Amazon and buy the first compendium for around $20 and support the people that made it. That way they can keep making cool things.
Merle!!! Shall be an interesting watch, that is for sure.
but it did not show, and he was holding a weapon with something.
The weapon IS his right hand.
Kind of like Ash's chainsaw arm in Evil Dead 2. Anytime you can turn a stump of an arm into a weapon, I like it.
The weapon is his right hand.
but I thought season 2 was a little underwhelming. I felt like there were times when I wouldn't see a freaking zombie for 2 episodes. I know they were building storylines, but I was a little disappointed with the suspense it brought. Hopefully the new season will pull me back in.
I thought season 2 was superb, especially the last three episodes. The battle for the farm was some of the most tense and exciting TV I have ever seen. I think some people forget that zombie movies/shows are not really about zombies at all, but how the humans handle the grim situation they are in and how the situation can determine who is good and who is evil. Zombies are never the antagonist, its always a human or the human element. That being said, I can't wait for the new season to start.
And, on a side note, Breaking Bad starts tomorrow, so that will whet my appetite until the fall.
If they came from a military base there probably are more military support out there resisting.
The crew had on military gear and they had a door gunner. TV choppers are usually painted white.
The news must be a bit different where you live...
***SORT OF SPOILER***
Kirkman said that the group would not be as safe in the prison as they are in the comic, whatever that means. I've never read the comic.
I've been wondering about that helicopter for a while now. Is that the same one that we see every so often?
And Woodbury looks interesting...and very safe.
Hopefully Merle isn't just part of his brother's imagination like he was last season! Love the show but havn't read the comics yet
I would love to go to Comic Con. But the wife and I just bought a house so it's hard for me to justify the expense of flying from Florida to San Diego.
The trailer looks amazing. I have read all of the comics and so far from what I can see on the trailer, the show will be very different from the comics. In my opinion this is a good thing as it will keep people, who have read the comics, guessing on what will happen next.
I've come very late to the series, last month in fact, and still haven't seen the first season or read the comics. Why is it that only head shots kill zombies? And this is picky I know, but isn't the solution to go somewhere no one else lived before the plague broke out? If zombies are made up of former people, then can't the surivivors go into country where no towns existed before, build a new town, and be relatively safe? Sorry, I'm not up on zombie lore.
Its always been that head shots kill Zombies because they are already dead, but their brain activity allows their motor skills to still be active. Kill the brain, you kill the zombie.
And I think the last episode kind of showed why you can't get away, because those hordes of zombies will continue to wander in any direction that they hear noise. That is how they found their way through the woods and onto the farm in the first place.
I actually missed half of the last episode unavoidably, getting back to it in the last 10 minutes. bummer. My new solution after your explanation: walled city. But I suppose after a few weeks there'd be thousands of zombies camped outside the walls and you'd never get out again. Damn zombies.
The reason head shots are the only way to kill zombies is because the brain is only organ that is partially active. The heart and other organs are dead as is the rest of the body. The brain is only controling basic motor controls which allow the zombies to move.
I'm too much of a chicken to watch this show but I want to
I always wondered about the brain partially functioning theory. If the brain is partially working and all other organs are dead, why do the zombies always try to eat people? if their stomach is no longer working shouldn't they not feel hungry? Or is their brain somehow making them think they are always hungry causing them to always want to feed? If thats the case why arn't there a ton of really fat zombies walking around! And where do they poop!!
Please kill Laurie in the first episode.
First, she drove off in the car without telling anyone and then crashes like a dummy.
Later, she tells Rick that Shane "needs to be stopped," but becomes angry when Rick admits to killing him before he himself was killed.
I'm just waiting for the writers to give T-Dog some lines or kill him off.
My fault. Will amend title to indicate it has spoilers.
I absolutely love this show. Making do this summer watching Falling Skies, which is good, but not at the level of Walking Dead. The whole "thriving town" scenario looks interesting!
Missing Breaking Bad tomorrow. They better get this fixed by October or I may have to do something drastic like get cable.
Already signed up for that. Dish is also giving out free Roku boxes AND credit for a season of BB if you want to go through the hassle. Supposedly they will also buy a season of Walking Dead if it's not resolved by then.
Man the whole farm run of episodes was sucky, but this trailer is freakin awesome. I love the comic series and without giving anything away I will only put forward that I enjoy the comic storyline much better. Well worth the time (and money) to read.
Cool to see Merle back again.
How does network TV compete with these shows. Breaking Bad, Walkind Dead, all the great HBO series.
