Yeah, that was ridiculous.

Actually what was worse is that they portray Madison as the vengeful bad ass (volunteering etc.). Only for when they get there she becomes the cliche damsel in distress and gets zombie-handled.

that fire scene was pretty intense. The brother is going to kill a lot of people I am thinking. What a mess.

The well regulated militia didnt notice the gunshots old man shot into the floor?

Anyway, this season has been awesome. If your not watching, you should. season 1 sucks. season 2 was ok. This season has been great.

You have a low bar for great. There are definitely better moments of writing but it's more like a toddler learning to walk. It's not long before it falls flat on its face within the same episode.

I've thought this whole season was really good. I did watch episodes 2,3,4 all in a binge period though. Better characters, plots, suspense, everything

I could see how that might help.

The episode focusing on Daniel was very well done. The rest of the season is just okay...

just finished the final two episodes of this half season, what an awesome 8 episode block. I hope they keep this up. I don't see it being as thrilling based on the conclusions that have been reached but I sure enjoyed this season so far. It is quite impressive how large of a jump in quality it was compared to the last two seasons. Still plenty of stupid decisions and head scratchers but overall I was very entertained, it got intense and was a lot of fun.

I am surprised Daniels story came to a halt after the hotel episode, his episodes were so good.

I think CB radios would be impossible to reach a satellite?

Seems like I have heard stories of Ham Radio operators talking to astronauts but not CB.

Maybe it was a ham, I'm clueless about ham so maybe that scene wasn't as stupid as I thought it was [emoji41]

I am just starting this tonight. Letting them build on my DVR makes watching this show a little easier.

Watching this show is sort of like drunken bar sex with someone you are not really attracted to. You know you shouldn't but they are there. You say what the hell during an inebriated, momentary lapse of judgement. Then during you realize what a mistake it is and simply hope it ends soon.

Haha. While I can't relate to your analogy, I'm also saving these episodes. Probably will watch 2 or 3 at a time eventually. Maybe even after this season's TWD when I start having withdrawals.

I didnt get to start the second half of the season until about 4-5 episodes in and am now all caught up. IMO, this season has been really good. I enjoyed the first half a lot, the conflicts and etc were engaging and entertaining. The two recent episodes where the dude lured the herd to the ranch were really good IMO. Im not sure how he would find that big of a herd but putting that aside, it was great TV. That episode and the episode in the bunker IO watched back to back and I thought they were good enough it could have easily been the finale. The part where alicia had to ask for volunteers to spare oxygen was messed up and gripping.

As far as the most recent one, I wish she didnt die just yet. I do not like taking nick back down the druggie path, he became a really good character and if they follow this arc too much he becomes useless again. Maybe the crazy guy will kick his ass and snap him out of it.

Alicia on her own was a good tale, very entertaining. I love the pick axe chick dropping that thing in skulls everywhere.

I imagine they will get to the damn, build up to major conflict and then either have a great finale or it will spill into next season.

Either way, IMO, season 3 did a great job and if the show was always this way, it would be far more popular at this point. I am liking it.

I can't believe I'm still watching this.

The Alicia character is so filled with fluff and feminism it's crazy. All of a sudden a group of people that she hasn't been around which includes several strong, capable men, starts listening to, and follows orders from, a teenage girl??? Piss poor. And when she and pickaxe girl are fighting in the streets against basically street thugs, she can single handedly beat them? Sigh.

On top of the dam, why didn't one of the Proctors just shoot Junkie Depp even after he pushed the button?

Why did the sniper wait until the last possible moment to start shooting, as if he could hear the conversation on the dam.

Just because someone meets Madison, they automatically revere her like she is Genghis Khan?

I just can't stop watching though because this is so freaking ludicrous.

I don't mind the feminism one bit. What bothers me is when they prop up a character to be this tough feminine character then she all of the sudden becomes the damsel or cliche falling down and that type of stuff like with Madison.

It's stupid writing. They keep propping these characters up only to completely unravel it just scenes later. It's frustrating. Especially, when there is actually some improved writing this season.
