Didn't want to start a thread on the new season like I did last year so early.

Anyway, season three starts on October 14th in the States. Not sure entirely on the UK one.

Here's the first trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShQz68Zkb3Y

And some production photos: http://blogs.amctv.com/photo-galleries/the-walking...

Looks really good. Seemingly more action this time round - which is what the fans want.

I cannot quite work it out. Does that woman have zombies on chains? Or are they slaves?

IIRC from what I've been told from people who've read the comics, they are her BF and BF's mate. Uses them to ward off her human scent I think.

Whoop Whoop!!!!

Why don't they eat her?

They don't have lower jaws and they're chained up.

To be fair though, judging by what I recall of last season's last episode, they weren't properly chained up, just on chains a few feet behind her.

Perhaps it's a sort of 'zombies-sort-of-know-their-past' thing which has been explored in the films.

[TheHeretic]

Never noticed the jaw thing.

Finally watched the last episode and I have to say after the reasonable promise of the first season, that was utter utter garbage. Boring, silly plot line, and characters who I now pretty much dislike to a man.

Hope to God they can pull it back in season three.

Whilst they have no arms, and I'm guessing she's removed their teeth, it still makes a mockery of Zombie lore. They'd still attempt to gum her to death and be constantly head-butting her.

Well, jaw or not, I was thinking the same thing

season 2 largely pedestrian, but the final episode fairly kicked it up a gear.
Thoroughly looking forward to season 3, to tide me over I have pre-ordered S2 on amazon.

Every version has it's own rules.
It is explained in the comic.

Andrew Lincoln displayed some cringe worthy acting in the final episode, but it had some decent action for a change.

At the risk of being in a minority, I ended up really enjoying Season 2.

I started watching it when it aired on FX but fell behind partly due to not particularly enjoying it.

However, when I caught up with it again when C5 aired it, my opinion of it changed.

It wasn't as good as Season 1 but there were enough elements to make the whole enjoyable.

For example, I particularly liked Rik's transition from noble lawman to a more ruthless killer.

I think the Season played the safe option by setting the majority of it on a farm so only hope Season 3 has more of a focus on the group actually trying to find a new sanctuary and any associated journey.

You need to go back an wath an episode of season 1. Apart from the same actors and zombies, the whole look and feel is completely different. The first season was beautifully shot, whereas the second....

The farm setting will have saved a considerable amount of money. No need to close roads, hire extras and private houses, build and decorate sets etc. An old farm with knackered outbuildings lends itself well to being trashed and set on fire. Doing the same on a residential street with houses costing a couple hundred grand each, not so much.

Hopefully viewing figures dropped enough from Season 1 to 2 that they won't cheap out for Season 3. I give the show a fair amount of stick, but it is still worth a watch for it's comedic element.

Judging by the preview trailers they're setting S3 around 2 main locations - the prison and a town, which will be a big improvement from them sitting around on that farm and talking.
