Missing hand... favors kicking @ss to punching it...
So far as they know, most of humanity is wiped out. They've picked up people along the way already. Sometimes for the good. Sometimes for the bad. They have to take those chances. Everybody does in this situation.
The prison situation was a great example of weeding out potential friend from foe. Greaser guy was bad news, they pegged him as it and took him out. They took out the guy who reacted the most violently to his death too.
That may or may not have been the right thing to do. Maybe that guy was pals with greaser guy. Maybe he was just protecting the security he had in his own group. To them, Rick's group are the outsiders. These are the choices people have to make.
Yup. The dude with the bat had to die. If he is going to respond violently at all, he's a threat to the rest of the group. And like the ginger guy with the thick accent was saying, the two they killed were in prison for violent reasons whereas the two still alive were there for non-violent offenses.
Doesn't make sense because they were so worried about that other group finding the farmhouse and they they meet a group of prisoners and they don't react the same. Just weird to me I guess my guard would be up all the time.

Rick tends to not kill unless his hand is forced or he feels an immediate threat to his family. The other two prisoners, if locked in their own block can't hurt them as the group's block has its own doors with its own keys. That's how I'm seeing it, hard to go to the comics as this is different from the books.

Is it just me, or is Andrea more hate-able already than she was in the first two seasons?

Not as hate-able as Lori, but she is next on my, "Must be mauled by a horde of zombies" list.

Ditto. She's very different in the show vs the comics, and not for the better.

I didn't catch it. Blew me away when I heard that interview and his British accent.

I saw an interview as well and noticed the change, but I don't think his change is as impressive as Hugh Laurie's. Hugh has a super thick British accent but does an amazing job covering it.

Yes but Lincoln is doing a southern accent which most actors fail at faking.

Just caught up on this thread and noticed a few things:
1. For you guys arguing over psychology degrees and condescending tones...thanks for including all of us in your bickering.
2. The over analysis of the "mistakes" the show is making needs to stop. The show is awesome, enough said.
3. Lori is a whore and their son is a little b!tch
4. I love that crazy guy is back...

Must be the virus that gives him the ability to talk like that. I had no idea he was so affected by the infection.Am I the only one that thought this past episode [S3E3] was the worst one i've seen in a while? "The Gov" is so bad I almost can't take it, he's got a massive case of Liam Neeson wanna'be, and loose the vest. It's the south and hot as hell. And as a personal pet peeve, I don't like not seeing my main characters for an entire episode.

I agree, with such a strong start to season 3, this episode really cocked it up. Horrible.

I like to watch Talking Dead after the episodes, after the last one they had a producer from the show who explained that the main reason they allowed an episode that focused on the town was so that they could give the viewers a good idea of what it was all about without making you learn little bits over a prolonged time. I disliked it, especially since I've hated Andrea since Day One (her sister was cute, wish she'd have lived), but I think it will be nice if it means the rest of the season can keep up a good pace. The slow pace of Season 2 has always been my biggest complaint about the show.
Indeed...the show reminds me of Battlestar Galactica in that sense: rich story with complex characters, but also serious difficulties with pacing. In survival shows, it's hard to keep the plot moving in times of relative stability.

Except Season 2 really dragged on the awful love triangle. It just killed me that stuff was continuously popping up. I was very happy when Sean died because I knew the story wouldn't be stuck on that crap anymore.
Wow, I actually felt the opposite. I liked this episode. I found it interesting to see what type of world the Governor had created. I expected something more "road warrior-esque," more militaristic, like in the Stand, The Road, or some of the other post apocalyptic stories, instead we kinda see a Jericho type "idyllic" town, but of course with a underbelly of something.
Plus it was nice to finally get to see more about Michonne finally. Plus the whole Merle thing.
I thought the Gov was quite well cast actually. That slightly honeyed southern drawl covering up the ruthlessness. And WTF with the heads in the aquarium?
I'm kinda a little tired of the other group, so to get away for awhile and see what else is going on in the walking dead "world."
I actually think it was one of the best "un eventful" episodes in awhile.
I hear you. Don't get me wrong, I still love the show. Just wasn't as impressed with E3 and for me the Gov character just seems tired. Oh, and as far as the heads in the tanks...kinda cool, but I thought for sure it was going to be his wife and kid all zombied and locked in a room since he took special care to look at their picture just before going in there.
I thought the same thing, or even their heads in the tanks (trying to preserve their brains and maybe re-attach them to zombie bodies in a way to bring them "back.") But they didn't look like family, so it was more surprising to see that.

I just can't get past associating the Govt with his role in the "The Reaping." But then againg he is not that different in either role

I thought it was cheesy an one of the worst episodes of the series yet. IMO
