If someone can elaborate on Woodsbury and what they think lies in store for this season, that would be great. Also, could someone explain what follows after the Prison and Woodsbury chapter ends?
After Woodbury and the prison my understanding is the remaining group moves on to the Washington DC area. Or at least that's the the synopsis of the comics says.
My best guess is season 3 will be by far the best season of The Walking Dead. From what I've read The Governor is by far and away the sickest, most brutal antagonist of the entire series. If people think Shane was a bad guy they've seen nothing yet.
I don't think Merle was even in the comics but if I had to guess I'd say chances are he'll be working for The Governor when he re-emerges on the show.
Today I met Jon Bernthal (Shane) at AdventureCon in Knoxville. Super nice guy!! He informed me that he is currently working on Martin Scorsese's next flick (The Wolf of Wall Street). I'm definitely looking forward to that

He has a very interesting bio. In addition to acting he played professional basketball in Russia for a time. Which I found a bit off since he;s not an especially tall guy at 5"10.

At the beginning of this year’s panel for “The Walking Dead” at New York Comic Con, moderator and “Talking Dead” host, Chris Hardwick played a clip from tomorrow night’s third season premiere.
In an entirely dialogue-free sequence, we see Rick, Daryl, T-Dog and even Carl clear out the walkers inside of a house before ushering, Beth, Glenn, Carol, Hershel, Maggie and a very pregnant Lori inside. Without saying a word, Rick expresses his extreme displeasure with what they find in the house in a very gripping and intense way.
Following the clip, Hardwick brought “The Walking Dead” creator, Robert Kirkman on to the stage along with executive producer Gale Anne Hurd and series stars, Andrew Lincoln, Chandler Riggs, Norman Reedus, Danai Gurira, David Morrissey and Michael Rooker.
“I think everyone would agree after the way we ended the second season, backing off in any way and slowing the pace down would have been a mistake,” offered Kirkman when the cheers died down. “I think that this is something that showrunner, Glen Mazzara feels really strongly about. We kind of hit the ground running... and it just kind of goes from there. It’s just absolutely nonstop... We really come back in a big way and I’m really excited for all of you guys to see it.”
It was also noted that the third season premiere has more zombie kills than in the first season combined.
“It’s been pretty intense this season,” offered Lincoln. “I made the fatal error this year of going into the writers’ room and saying ‘what do you think Rick’s breaking point is?’ Well, that’s the worst thing I could have said. We find out this season. It’s been brutal, it’s been intense... Because we jump forward in time, you meet this group of people and they have evolved beyond all recognition.”
Lincoln also praised his young costar, Riggs for portraying a very different Carl this season.
“It’s really cool for me to play more of a dark character,” related Riggs. “It’s like playing two different characters. From season one to season three, you can definitely see the changes from that. And it’s really, really so much fun.”
There was an odd trend of very young fans asking Riggs questions about his character and Kirkman seemed a little taken aback by that before suggesting that they were perhaps too young to be watching his show or reading his comic. Reedus also drew a lot questions and applause from the fans for his character, Daryl Dixon.
“I think Daryl feels value in these people relying on him,” shared Reedus. “I think this is his new family and he’d do anything to keep them alive. He’s more sensitive and more aggressive at the same time.” Reedus even seemed to make Lincoln blush when he added that “Rick is sort of becoming the brother that [Daryl] lost.” Then Reedus revealed that a running gag between himself and Lincoln on the set involves Reedus whispering “love you” to Lincoln; to which Lincoln replies “f*** you.”
As one of the newcomers to the cast, Gurira expressed her admiration for the show and the cast before offering some insight into her character, Michonne.
“I think the moment that people go through when they become survivors... I think Michonne is a bit of a thriver,” related Gurira. “Getting from pre-apocalyptic world to pos-apocalyptic world, whatever happens there is something where you do or you die. Her choice to ‘do’ was a very intense and powerful choice that allowed her to recreate herself into a formidable force in this realm. One that is not going to go down without a fight and figure out how to actually make the realm work in her favor. Or at least make sure she’s ahead of the game.”
Morrissey is the other main addition to the cast for season three as the Governor, whom fans of “The Walking Dead” comic book series recognize as one of the most formidable adversaries to date. In crafting his take on the character, Morrissey cited Kirkman’s “The Rise of The Governor” novel as his starting point.
When asked by Hardwick if he sees the Governor as evil, Morrissey answered “It’s an interesting term, evil. Isn’t it? Depends upon what you want it to be. I don’t think whether anyone says that about themselves.... He runs a community called Woodbury and it’s a great place... if you abide by the rules.” Morrissey joking spoke about his admiration for the Governor; which earned laughter from the panel and the crowd.
Rooker was quiet when it came to specifics about the return of Merle Dixon after being absent since the third episode of the series. When asked to explain Merle’s appeal to the “Walking Dead’ fans, he said that his character is “a tough a**hole.”
During the question and answer session, Reedus was quizzed about Daryl’s burgeoning relationship with Carol. Reedus indicated that Daryl is not a romantic figure and he wouldn’t be the one to take the first step in that direction. This led to perhaps the funniest line of the panel: “It’s love, man! Not an owl you can shoot.”
Unless Otis was also a warlock then I still don't understand how he did it
does it really matter? if it helps you get over it assume that they had a contraption like in the original day of the dead film (a small "room " with an inside and outside door, so he opened the outside door, put the zombie in the cubicle, closed the outside door, removed the lasso, opened the inside door and then the zombie was in the barn.
Still catching up on the second season. Was hoping to do a marathon but can't miss watching football and baseball today. Will DVR tonight's episode and hope to be caught up later this week!
Anyone else think it was odd Otis and his family always lived on a farm (in the deep south) yet he hates guns? I believe his son had no clue how to even use one until Rick and Shane were training people.

What does living on a farm in the south have to do with guns?
Also... Otis isn't the one who hates guns... Herschel is the one who hates guns... Otis shot Carl, while hunting... and then was shot by Shane (and then eaten by zombies).
Lots of people in the south, and on farms, who don't own or like guns.
Nearly every show I watch now in on Sunday night - Dexter, Homeland, Boardwalk Empire and The Walking Dead. All most of them overlap with their air time.
But that doesn't fit the stereotype some around here have of southerners and/or folks that live in the country.
What do you know. Different username same old nonsense. For a minute there I was wondering why someone I've never heard of showed up on my (and I'm sure many other peoples') ignore list. Now it all makes sense.
