^Agreed. I also think the acting and writing has improved as well Ricks character has really grown, and shown some emotion, and its nice seeing that Liking the characters a lot..

Maggie and Glenn though..love them

and hershal and his daughter. Dude without a leg in a zombie apocalypse does NOT have high chances

Even the kid has grown on me this season. It's nice seeing him step up into the roll of becoming a little man

Even though the show is getting very "Lost" it's definitely the best it's ever been. I swear if my cable provider gets rid of AMC like they keep talking about I will have a fit (call them begging them to keep the channel).

The graphic novel adds and kills off character all the time, so I understand why the show is using this season to do the same. I am confused about the family in Tyrese's group, as they're characters in the graphic novel are much different in terms of age and appearance.

Old but relevant:

So what did you all think about the return?

I liked the last episode, though I was expecting something more intense, given the end of this season's first half.

But overall, this season has been much better thus far than the last one.

The "come back" of Lori as a ... ghost? Is slightly ridiculous.

And Rick should take a xanax and relax.

Lori as a ghost is logic. Rick has been really affected by her death, so...But I agree, it's not a good idea of the producer :yuckky:

I hated Lori before her death, and now, she's back as a ghost!

Concerning the last episode... I've been disappointed. Just five minutes, at the end, of action... Thanks to the Governor to have come

Rick was looking super pissed at the end... I wish someone cut the governor his balls & dick and throw them as an appetizer at the zombies.

/fair enough

My bet is on either Michonne or Maggie to do that. I really hope that Tyrese and his group will be back

I feel like the african american couple will be stayin...the guy and his kid are riskey!

Curious as to how Merle is gonna do now that hes back...I mean, hes a bad dude, but I think deep, deep down hes alright

Also, does anybody feel the black man with the beard in Woodberry which the camera keeps panning to is gonna be of significance?

I missed three episodes after this season's half first one.

Just watched them along with the new one today.

Liked those 3 better than last one. It got slower again, though it should be better again on the next episode. I hope.

I'm curious too about how things gonna be with Merle in the group now.

^Yeah I think the second half of the second season got slow too. Building up story lines, etc. Which I guess if the show just had action and zombies the whole thing, it wouldn't be as addicting.

I notice this season has focused more on how the zombie apocalypse has affected people. How people have changed, *in ricks case gone cray*, become used to this world where its everybody for themselves (like how they left that poor hitchhiker high and dry)

Its definitely a quieter season (at least the second half has been) but the season as a whole feels really eerie and dark.

^ I don't know if I'd call this season a quieter one. This second half for sure it is. But the first half was pretty intense.

Completely agree on the eerie and dark this season has been. I like that atmosphere so far.

Anyway, this season has been a huge improvement from the second one.

^Like I said, at least the second half of the season is a lot quieter. And IMO I think its just as good as Season 2, maybe a little better. Maybe for the fact that I liked the drama and tension that Shane created
