Walking Dead, It's Starting to get Better

I'm now in the third season, and my oh my is there a stark contrast in the quality of season three, and the first two. Sure the special effect still pretty much suck, and the guns don't have any recoil. Plus the zombie blood is still pretty obviously fake, but these are just minor details in the grand scheme of things. Thank the lord that Shane is gone and that Lori is too. That love triangle was terrible. It only served to make Carl a weaker character because his main purpose was to create tension between Shane and Lori. Which culminated to Shane being killed by Rick, which was fairly lackluster. Then this had to be followed by an enormous swarm of "walkers" conveniently making them vacate their current domicile. Where will they now you ask? Where else but a prison.

The prison seemed to be safe, but clearly wasn't. If there are gates that keeps the zombies out, logically speaking wouldn't that keep them in. And good lord there were a lot of those zombies being kept in. When that drama of that wore off they found some prisoners to drive the plot forward. Don't get me wrong clearing those tunnels would be the freakiest dang thing ever. I can't imagine legitimately doing that. The wow factor of those dark, dank, cramped tunnels was off put by two of the prisoners. After being locked up in a pantry for 10 months those men would have become puppy dogs and kissed anyone's ass who had just saved them. Plus I have to say it, how is anyone keeping up a well defined muscular build? Where is anyone getting their protein? This only made sense when our lovable gang of misfits were on the farm consuming eggs, and beef. But those prisoners lived off of bread crumbs, and other non-perishable food stuffs. In order to preserve there stock of food, they wouldn't have been working out either. So how did they come out with perfect builds? Sorry, that, and the lack of any realism in the guns just rubs me the wrong way. In light of all my knit picking I really enjoyed season three. Season two was just, oh lord... That still gives me nightmares, oh the horrible everything...

I enjoyed a lot of season three, but I had some complaints. With a bigger budget this show was truly able to flourish to a higher standard. This allowed them to make a large set, purchase plenty of firearms, hire more actors, buy newer and more expensive vehicles, and have a larger production value over all. However, the two bit comic villain with a dang eye patch slayed me. He's some wacko that stares at severed heads, and has a creepy relationship with his imprisoned zombiefied daughter. When he got that eye patch, lord have mercy. I lost the ability top take a sadistic, and highly deranged villain seriously. An eye patch, Honestly? Then there was his plus one. The horribly gullible Andrea who was riding her high horse with a stick up her butt. Her taste in men has left the audience collectively shaking their heads. Because this show has an extreme aversion to letting any of it's so called protagonists being seen as bad, she'll redeem herself a minute or so before she dies.
