First time watcher! Season 3 thoughts

Season 3

Previous seasons are in my post history.

1. “Oh look more survivors! And the best way for us to kill walkers is to have more survivors. Let’s work together and nope can’t do that let’s be hostile to everybody else! That should do it!!”
2. Merle!!! I was missing him all S2. Can’t wait for him and Daryl to meet back up.
3. How is everyone such a good shot? 99.9% accuracy to the head with ease. Never picked up a gun before? Just take the Shane Crash Course and you’ll be hitting bullseyes with handguns from 600 yards out.
4. “You know what would make this ordeal so much easier? Let’s bring a newborn into it. It’s a cake walk for all us adults, so how about something that has to literally be carried everywhere? I’m basically a genius!”
5. Damn killing off 2 main characters in the same episode like that? And so early in the season? (Or 3 apparently? Carol just disappears?) That’s pretty bold, but it also appears that a lot of the season will split time two main settings and groups, so not as much time for the individual characters.
6. Man they really ramped up the gore this season.
7. Okay so Carol is alive. So then who did they bury??
8. Lol at the townspeople ready to bail like there’s something better out there. “Well we have electricity, water, and a clean bed in here, but out there is totes better.”
9. In the Old Guy with a White Beard category, I’m on #TeamDale. Hershel just isn’t as cool.
10. I really like Merle as a character. Very well written and acted. He is who he is. At first I didn’t like the Governor being the one to kill him, but it being a shot to the chest so that he turned and then Daryl having to finish him was really well done.
11. I think they had too many things going on with the Governor. Is he power drunk? Is he wanting revenge for his zombie daughter? Is he just unhinged period?
12. With that said, I liked that he survived the finale. Too many shows have a single season Big Bad that is intro’d in the season premier (or briefly in the prior finale), then get killed off in that season’s finale to close the season out. It’s so formulaic. I liked the deviation.
13. Along the same lines, I expected them to leave the prison because the season is over so time for a new setting next season, so the twist that they actually stayed to defend was pretty cool.
14. I do feel like they intro and then kill off characters a little too quickly. I would’ve liked more from Axel, for example.
15. I had hoped for more flashbacks to get some backstory, but I realize that Fear the Walking Dead is filling that role more, even if it isn’t directly the backstory of the current characters but rather the outbreak as a whole.

That’s it for this go round.
