[Smitty Is Our Savior]

I was re-watching some episodes from season 2 today, and I'm getting so pumped for season 3.

Gonna re-watch the first two seasons before the next starts I think.

Oops, this was supposed to be in the Game of Thrones thread. Not sure how I made it in here...

It's odd that I haven't read ANYTHING on this weeks episode.

I usually know what's going to happen by now.

My hunch is something big is going down this week.

Spoiler

there is an unconfirmed rumor on the other forum Maggie dies this week.

Here is why that rumor started.

Spoiler

Most likely started because the person who plays her character is supposed to make an appearance on Talking Dead after the episode next week. The person who plays Beth on the show was on the Talking Dead 2 weeks ago, but she wasn't killed off. However the actor who played Axel was on the show after his character was killed off, likely being what caused the speculation about Maggie

If they killed Maggie off imagine what Glenn would be like. I got my money on Glenn killing the Gov off anyway.

I don't want Maggie to die. She's the hottest woman in the show and is the best female character.

Well, they didn't kill her. They just banged her.

Given the context, that probably wasn't such a great idea, but hey, they got away with it.

[XClown1986]

Great episode. The tension was palpable. Seems to be Andreas plan to turn the people of Woodbury against the Governor in order to save Rick's group. Im sure she will find a way to fug that up too.

I'm curious as to who people would choose for that task.

Merle makes sense to me. Truthfully, he and the Governor could wind up killing each other.

If it were up to me, I'd choose Rick. I think the show writers will choose Andrea, and probably at a "make a choice" moment where she either has to shoot the Governor or Rick.

Would be fun to watch the Governor arrogantly expecting her to save him only to get blasted instead

Oh, and call me sadistic but I hope the bastard dies slowly and painfully.

If you hate the governor that much, read the comics and what michonne did to him...

I'm hoping Andrea can turn Tyrese back to the prison group, if that is even possible anymore given that Rick didn't trust them when they had no ties to Woodbury. Tyrese is awesome in the comics, would love to see his character in the show, only problem is there isn't much room for him in the prison group seeing as him and Daryl fill roughly the same character type.

[CarolinaNCSU]

Personally I think they let Tyreese kill the Governor. During the preview with Andrea telling he and his gorup that the Gov. isn't who he says he is or whatever that was, I feel like there will come a moment where the Governor is about to kill someone (Rick?) and Tyreese saves the day...in the process earning trust and joining the group to replace whatever members are killed off during the fight.

I haven't read the comics but I've read the wiki.

I think Tyrese and Darryl together could work story-wise. At least for the moment, TV Tyrese doesn't seem quite as jaded as Darryl, so there's some contrast to play with.

[Meltfaces]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if the governor dies(and defeat the woodbury forces)and they keep the prison, what could possibly force them out of it in the future? The story would never progress, and they would just sit around in their fortress forever.

Unless...

Spoiler

If they follow at least a little bit of the comic, they would have to skip the Alexandria storyline, and have Negan come be the next to come after the prison.

the spoon... hes gotten off easy in the show so far haha

[Darth Biscuit]

They're def playing up the split in Woodbury imo.

Daryl talking to the guy after they did the mutual zombie kill.

Herschel joking with Milton.

Andrea (in the preview) plotting with Milton and talking with Tyrese.

Something big is coming for sure...

Spoiler

I think the governor will get it from someone like Andrea and that something bad is going to happen to Rick. That's solely my opinion, I have not heard anything anwhere...

[bramizzle]

I've changed my mind after seeing the confrontation and preview for next week I think Milton is going to kill the governor.

[Bronn]

My opinion:

Spoiler

Over the next two episodes...

Andrea convinces Milton and Tyreese's crew to split with her and make a break for the prison. They do so during the night, on foot.

Michonne learns of the offer that the Governor made, and doesn't give Rick the chance to respond. She leaves on her own, seemingly headed for Woodbury.

Rick and co. feel helpless, and just dig in and reinforce. With Michonne gone, they have no alternative.

Andrea's group intercepts Michonne. Michonne learns that the Governor wants everyone dead anyways, and decides to return, with Andrea's group, to the prison.

The Governor realizes Andrea's group has gone, and takes whomever he can rally with him to the prison.

The assault begins. The Gov. brings a trailer full of Walkers to let into the inner gate (which they ram much like they did the outer). It looks dim for Rick's crew, as the assault is pretty heavy. Woodbury folks are launching mortars and giving heavy fire.

Andrea's crew plus Michonne show up just in time. Tyreese and co. take Andrea into the prison yard the way they originally got in. Michonne disappears. Early in the assault, Tyreese's sister takes a bullet or gets got by walkers... Tyreese rages and goes hammer time on all the walkers that were let loose inside the fences, allowing Rick's crew to focus on the Woodbury folks.

Andrea takes up a sniping position and offs several Woodbury crew. This allows her character to have some sort of redemption in the series.

Michonne appears, and gets the Governor, who has just shot Tyreese.

What's left of the Woodbury crew either dies or flees.

Rick and co. casualties:

Carol
Hershel
Beth
Judith (who was being taken care of by Beth)
Milton
Tyreese
Sasha
Alan
Ben

This only leaves Rick, Carl, Andrea, Michonne, Glenn, Maggie, Merle, and Daryl at a destroyed prison that is no longer safe.

The group sees little choice other than to move on, especially considering the number of people and who they have lost at the prison.
