None of the people I watched the episode with understood what the hell was supposed to be going on in that scene. It sort of makes sense now, but man was it confusingly executed. (And unrealistically clean if that is what was supposed to have happened.)

So I'm up to like episode 4 of season three. I'm starting to wonder how much darker they can go, and if I really want to be watching. I mean its gripping and emotional but man....

I think they're perilously close to "bad shit happening for the sake of bad shit happening." Which is not nearly as good as "awesome shit happening for the sake of awesome shit happening".

They have just started really getting into the comic level of how bad things are fucked. The comic is pretty brutal. The death of Lori in the comic is even more tragic than the one here.

It's been a while now since I started reading the comics, but I feel like the characters in the comics generally sort of did things that make sense, whereas the characters in the series seem to do a lot more irrational things for the sake of furthering the plot. Maybe the comics just did a better job of hiding the rails.

Yeah, it was fucked up and I felt the same way about watching the show.

Wow, all that didn't start happening till much, much later in the comics. I've not even seen the episode you're talking about yet, but I can see them picking the good bits and pieces. No pun intended.

No pun intended. Yeah, they're pretty liberally cherry-picking bits this season, it seems. It's kind of nice because a straight comics to TV adaptation would be too hard to do for anything but HBO or Showtime (in particular ).

I was wondering how close are we to being up to date with comics. It feels like we blowing through the comics at a pretty rapid pace and we will be past the comics next season.

Anyone else thought slaughtering the soldiers was the smart thing to do? I mean, just look at what happened with Rick's group for not slaughtering the prisoners.

Apple and orange. Plus, the Guvnah is batshit insane.

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

Not saying he's not, but a heavily armed group nearby is a bigger threat than the zombies.

Except that they are 1) trained 2) well-equipped 3) a last vestige of government.

1 and 2 are the reasons why they are too dangerous to have around and they are way past the point were 3 should matter at all. You are basically hoping a large well armed and trained fighting force will cooperate and be thankful for what you are willing to share with them rather than easily take it by force. Sorry, but that is an insane risk to take. Before considering taking in any group i would make sure a) it is a small enough group that they wouldn't be hard to deal with if they started trouble b) they have some women at least and c) they can be useful even if you disarm them.

The military is most likely not to go axe-crazy when the world ends so I don't see the military being a big threat to a group like Rick's or even when Shanes was leader. However for the shady Governor? Well they ain't idiots (i.e they'll suspect some shady shit is happening behind the scenes), so it'll just be a matter of relative safety, security, and normalcy outweighing the shady shit and taking orders from a shit head. Most people would pull a Andrea, trying to make the best of the situation, than go full paranoid "just because". So in that vein it is highly unlikely that that particular group of well armed men will immediately dispose of the Governor just because. They'd have to be crazy, power crazy, or just plain psycho axe murderers.

Really, the wholesaly slaughter of the soldiers is supposed to be morally ambigous?
They were not even en-route to the Governors town. If he would have just killed the pilot and ignored them they would likely never have met.

Lets see, people living mundane lives who never fired a gun being asked to aim for the head and shiv walking corpses in the brain vs people trained in life and death situations. Yeah when a soldier goes axe crazy its bad. Really bad. Now lets multiply that by the number of potential pyscho's working at walmart and your local bank, see which group is more likely to remain sane after a year.

I don't think it's supposed to be, I am just saying i personally consider it a good idea.
