The Walking Dead: Season 3

Good

I did get a bit frustrated with the slowed pace in character's and plotline while on Hershel's farm. Almost the entire 2nd Season had action, (if much) come to the farm. Were it not for the fruitless search for Sophia, nobody had much reason to venture out. Besides the runs to the pharmacy, (why not raid the entire pharmacy all in one big raid?), there was little Action! It became more of the "love triangle drama" more than it's namesake.I held out hope. Reading the graphic novel, I knew of much more to come. And the Season finale was a jaw dropper! After Rick declares that "this isn't a democracy anymore", low and behold, the prison looms just over the horizon. Yeah! Action again! Of course taking the prison will not be easy. Besides the Walkers that surround the prison, within the gates and out, they must contend with whomever might still be lurking inside. Just when you think how else can a Walker be fought off, they show up as prison guards in riot gear. Can't get the head through a helmet.Yet this amazing ensemble cast has come together in ways that have their wits make up for lack of numbers. Fabulous casting places these "survivors" in situations, making choices and doing deeds they could never have accomplished in the 1st Season! Outstanding teamwork and artful thinking gets them through step-by-step.It was a real tear jerker when Carl had to step up and shot Lori after child birth. He knew the alternative and at that moment, we see a boy grow into manhood. In the worst possible way!Cut to Woodbury. A quaint little town of ignorant people. Living as though THEIR world has not changed. Leave that to "The Governor." A man whose head belongs inside one of his many fishtanks of heads! He is utterly ruthless, maniacal, certifiably crazy and absolutely okay with it. As long as the town folk follow his commands, he is a God unto himself. He would have a statue of himself in the center of town were it feasible. The complete polar opposite of Rick. In every way! And as soon as The Gov learns of Rick and his group, no matter how small in headcount, he feels threatened. For good reason!All through Season 3, we see the most bloodshed and violence. The Walkers have a greater role. More of them. Not as easily drawn away by some diversion. No. They are here to stay! The Gov uses them to his advantage as well as sport. Target practice and throwing the first volley. As this Season progresses, the growing tension between The Gov and Rick leads to more than one showdown. But isn't this a reflection of real life? The tough guy's who make loud noises tend to do so over and over again? And when they don't get their petty ways, they ready for war?Eventually, Rick decides to NOT decide for the group anymore. "I'm not you're Governor." And it is the groups decision to stay and do final battle with The Gov and his merry band of idiots. In the end, the prison stays with the occupants that took it in the beginning of the season. Yet compassionate enough to take in the remnants of souls that were NOT SHOT by the Gov as he fled like a spoiled kid... With a big gun.This is what makes The Walking Dead work so well. Its not always so much about the Walkers or the gore. It's also about the hope and compassion, the sentimentality of the few living people left. That drive to keep pushing on. Sure, we know from Dr. Edwin Jenner that EVERYONE has this thing that makes EVERYBODY into Walkers as soon as they die, no matter what. But does this mean they should all lay down and put a bullet into each others heads? Of course not! Jenner was ONE point of view. Maybe another Dr. In some secluded lab has another theory?Just a thought, on the show, "Lost In Space." They knew they were never getting home. Did that mean they might as well settle on some deserted planet or crash into a sun? No! People must drive on to find a better way for a better day. Judith is the newest member of the cast. It means babies can be born! Start over! Find a safer haven and rebuild. This is life...

Wonderful service. Great product, absolutely no problems.

I love season 3&4 with the prison and The Governer! Classic Walking Dead

A gift for the Husband he's a huge fan of this walking dead and was very pleased to have gotten this gift.

I was eagerly awaiting the first season of The Walking Dead as everyone was. And it looked like it was going to be one hell of a ride after the pilot episode, which was directed by Frank Darabont, a fabulous director who gave us two brilliant films, The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, both superb movies. And Darabont's directing of the first episode of season 1 is brilliant. But by episode 2 something seems to slack off a bit. It's actually still a great episode but it's missing the director of the pilot, and though it's subtle you can feel it. By the third episode things actually start to feel underproduced compared to the pilot and it feels more like a soapish sort of style, with a lot of time, too much time getting to know all the character and their lives and all that goes with it. But there simply isn't a lot of action or zombies through much of season 1 on through till the final episode, which is interesting, but I kept waiting for the magic I saw in the pilot to continue onward, it didn't happen and I was left feeling that season 1 was an overall disapointment. Decent enough but not great. I decided to not take the plunge any further and did not watch season's 2 or 3 until just a few weeks ago when one night I decided to just give it another chance, and folks am I glad I did.Season 2 hardly resembled season 1 at all. Even when things are slow it's much more interesting, but there is a lot more action and a lot more gore and horror than season 1. The mood of season 2 is solid all the way through, and until season 3 I was left breahtless and convinced that I have never seen anything else as good about zombies. Prior to that all there was to enjoy that were truly great zombie pictures were Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead (and also the remake), and a few here and there that were worth noticing like The Horde, a French take on the zombie genre. Even the older Italian movies like 'Zombie' were good in their time, but though there have been dozens of zombie movies over the years nothing really blew my skirt up. That is until now.Season 3 of The Walking Dead in simply superb. The characters are all great, the shocks and scares are some of the best ever put on film, and the gore is absolutely the most brutal I have ever seen anywhere. It's amazing that AMC could actually get away with all the brutality they have in season's 2 and 3, so much so that I can't believe the FCC isn't nippin' at their butt's over it. If you saw season 1 and like me were not that impressed over all, hold onto to your guts, because season 3 is one hell of a ride. You won't be disapointed, I can pretty much promise you that. Hands down the best zombie story ever told. And season 3 will leave you breathless.

accurate description, fast delivery, good price, great seller

A five disc dvd box set which contains all sixteen forty minute long episodes of season three of the Walking Dead. A story of people trying to survive after the world is overrun by zombies.There are four episodes to each of the first four discs. The fifth contains various extras.Although this season might work reasonably well as a jumping on point, there's a fair bit of backstory by now, so you're better off starting with season one.As with the first two seasons, It follows the comic on which it is based somewhat loosely, taking characters and storylines from it, but going a different path with many of them.The season opener picks up months after the end of the last one. Rick and his group are on the road, and running out of options. When they spy a prison. A place with walls and fences like that would appear to offer perfect sanctuary.Meantime, Andrea and her new friend Michonne, whom she met briefly at the end of season two, have also been on the road for months. They stumble across seeming safe haven as well. A town called Woodbury. A seemingly normal place. Run by a charismatic man called the Governor.Can they all now relax? Or will they find that some humans can be bigger monsters than any zombie?This does try to address the criticisms of season two. Anyone who thought they didn't see enough zombies in that one will be satisfied this time around. As there are plenty of undead encounters. As before, the makeup and costume department do a great job of making them each look different.The pacing of the first eight episodes does go very nicely, mixing character drama with zombie action, and steadily building a certain threat.The characters aren't invincible. A fact which leads to some powerful bits of drama you won't forget in a hurry.David Morrissey delivers an incredible performance as the Governor. A man who, in case you haven't read the comic, let's just say has a lot going on under the surface.Although there are plenty of zombies, the Walking Dead has always been a character drama first and foremost. It does that again here. It's all about the way Rick changes as a person as a result of the moral dilemmas and choices that trying to survive in this strange new world forces on him. Which does push him very hard here. Andrew Lincoln again makes a great lead. Tv drama can, if episodic, often just brush off and forget things as shows move on. But that isn't the case here. The things Rick goes through have an effect on him that is very convincingly portrayed.Other characters do develop superbly. Michonne, a fan favourite the comics, does that very well over the course of the season.The second half of the season is a bit of a slow burner, as it leaves a big threat slowly developing whilst individual episodes deal with individual issues. Although they do tie up one loose end that has been hanging for a while. But there are moments in this batch that are downright disturbing and memorable and that you won't forget in a hurry.The finale doesn't quite have the budget to be as epic as you might expect it to be, but it does what it needs to do. Completing character arcs nicely. And setting up a slightly different status quo for year four.This is quality tv character drama. With great acting. And zombies every so often. Even if the latter isn't really your thing, the quality of the former makes this a show worth getting hooked on.The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:Languages: English.Subtitles; English.Five of the sixteen episodes do have commentaries.The extras on disc five are as follows:Deleted scenes: not quite as many of these as on season two. Just six. One each from different episodes. They all run no longer than three minutes. And can only be watched individually. But there are some very good character moments amongst them, so they are all worth a watch.Featurettes:All of these run from four to nine minutes. And can also only be watched individually.Rising Son. All about Carl and the actor who plays him.Evil eye. All about the governor.These two are general promotional pieces, but decent enough viewing.Gone, but not forgotten. All about a big event that happens in one episode. This one will stay with you for a little while, so it's worth a watch.Heart of a warrior. All about Michonne and her character arc over the season. There are some very good interviewees in this one, in particular the lady who plays her, so it's good viewing.Michonne v the Governor. An involving look at a certain set piece from one episode and how it was done.Safety behind bars. A very interesting look at how the prison set was built.Making the dead. All about the aforementioned excellent makeup and costume work on the zombies.Guts and Glory. About characters who weren't invincible. A memorable watch.

Abbiamo iniziato a guardare questa serie tv con un po' di distacco, ma alla fine ci ha conquistati. Vengono analizzate molte sfaccettature di un’umanità che pare non essere più tale. In realtà solo lo scenario è cambiato perché l’essere umano è sempre lo stesso.Vivendo e nella continua lotta contro morti vaganti, scientificamente inspiegabili, le persone sopravvissute sembrano dimenticare quanto cattivi possano essere i viventi. Il nemico comune non riesce a portare gli uomini ad un’alleanza, ma ad uno scontro per accaparrarsi qualche provvista o qualche arma.La vera natura di tutti verrà così amplificata. E davanti ad un futuro totalmente senza speranza, ci sarà chi ci crede ancora e non cessa di cercare. Bellissimo il “mosaico” formato dalle micro storie.
