I found myself really enjoying tonight's episode, despite the things i've said.
Though I did find the end a bit typical, I understand that she was deciding whether or not to kill the Governor and ultimately decided against it, but I think the same thing could have been conveyed with her just looking at a knife or something, and not doing it.
I think part of my problem is that this is the only season I've sat down to watch as it's aired on televison, I caught the first two seasons on a dvd/ripped from the internet combo sort of thing. I can't bring myself to sit through commerical breaks and wait a week for 45 minutes of new content and be on the edge of my seat the way most everybody is with this show, that I know, so I get sucked in to watching it with friends and family and what not. I had four whole seasons of Breaking Bad to junk out on available to me when I started watching that and it was great. -
Oh I'm definitely a fan, I'll still watch. It was just one of those things I remember being excited about for the people involved and the second season fell a little flat for me. The actors are top notch and whatnot, I enjoy their performances, and obviously the way AMC handled the show was bogus to me. I just feel like the writers could do more for the characters, some things don't work for me, but that's me I guess.

I agree with you on that, it's kind of overdone. Though it is a reference to the Tom Waits song "A Sweet Little Bullet From A Pretty Blue Gun" from Blue Valentine. I think I could see the arguement that the music is also conventional, indie garage rock stuff but I may just like them as people too and that's making me a bit biased. I don't know. I like it though.

Is there anyone else disappointed in this show now? The first season opened dramatically, had Darabont's visual style, it looked big. I've only read a handful of the comics, so it's nothing to do with that. I just feel like from the second season onward has been a let down to some degree. Second season was nothing but whining, and the third season isn't much better in my opinion.
It's almost like I can feel the bad writing, I mean for a zombie television show that's also character driven and a drama, you expect some of that and a little B-movie cheese, but sometimes it's almost unbearable, ironic or not.I think keeping Shane alive and writing him into Woodbury with the Governor and Andrea would have been far more interesting, especially with the baby and Lori dying and everything. I had a lot of high hopes for the show and it's not really coming off how I expected it. It's all new to me at this point though since I haven't made it to after the prison in the comics.

Anybody from Texas going to this in April? I may or may not be making it, I'm only really interested in seeing Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Black Angels, and a friend's band from South Africa, playing their first American show.
Good stuff.

^ That's kinda nuts, I'd still watch that shit though probably.
And I get this too, and maybe the way it was shot was the most cinematic, it got what it needed to across. I don't know why it came off so bad to me, I just didn't feel it. And then the walk to the window, looking out towards the prison. Totally get it, didn't really buy it.
