Nope, you'll notice one or two episodes a season like this for a lot of shows. They're called bottle episodes, where they take a few of the cast and isolate them from everyone else and shoot that episode with just them, usually all at one location to keep the costs down for that episode, in order to spend more of their budget on the high costing episodes with big booms or other crazy expensive things.

melbar 03-04-2013 10:47 PM

Best episode in a while. May have been said, but they wanted to do this last season but Lennie James was booked. Great job. Sad he couldn't join the rest of the crew.

mcaj22 03-04-2013 10:57 PM

Morgan is booked for another episode, I wont spoil which one specifically but you have not seen the last of him.

I just hope they dont kill him, such a great actor and I think could be awesome with the group and it seems Rick is at his most sane when he sees Morgan the guy who saved his life when this all started, and Rick looks at Morgan and thinks "I dont want to end up like this guy, I have to get my shit together and bring this guy back also"

But i dont know how much turnover there will be at the end of this season into season 4 in terms of characters, I assume there is a character purge coming in the four episodes

AussieChiefsFan 03-04-2013 11:00 PM

Good episode. I was wondering when we'd finally see Morgan again. Also seems like they're making Michonne more of a person that we're warming up to.

That is what I took it as, even before they showed him 'clearing' away the dead bodies of the walkers.

His only function left is to "clear" the area/world of zombies.

Bottle episodes are not limited people, it's one location, when the Community crew [all or some of them] spend the ENTIRE [or near entire] episode in the library, or the majority of a FRiENDS episode 89% in a ATM carrel new girl he met, it can also be where they only stay indoors on existing sets.

Deberg_1990 03-05-2013 08:04 AM

Loved this episode. Its interesting just how "hardened" they have all become to their new world. A zombie approaches and they basically just shrug their shoulders and shoot or stab it. No fear, no remorse....


I liked how they showed them getting a pack n play for Judith. That makes sense considering its portabable.

Its too bad about Morgan. I was hoping he would somehow come back with them to the prison.

Nice to see them lighten up Michone a little bit. It does make me wonder though, hours in the car with her, and Rick and her dont talk to each other and get to know each other a little better???

blaise 03-05-2013 08:13 AM

Morgan's little setup seemed like a better deal than the prison.

IM still trying to figure out the zombie cycle. Why are there so many zombies hanging around if everytime we see them get a hold of a living human, they devour him/her? There would not be enough body left for a fully functioning zombie walker?

that might have something to do with it then. In the last episode, I noticed Morgan marked a lot of territory with arrows. Rick's gang tagged walls with arrows while they reclaimed the prison.

I guess this could be attested that most zombies become "weaker" the less they eat brains.

I noticed this two, and thought WTF? Maybe because of muscle deterioration?

In any event, the real WTF for me was that dumb **** kid Carl.

1. Shouldn't it be obvious by now that you don't go anywhere by yourself? ANYWHERE!!!!

2. Not clearing the area completely before hoping up on the bar. I wanted that little ****er to get bit so bad.

3. Standing with your back against some glass windows that could break because there are roughly a dozen or some zombies on the other side. Seriously, why not just rub yourself down with some A1 while you're at it.

My wtf was the hitchhiker. How the **** you going to live that long. Then gwt taken out on theroad like that. He was in pieces. He dropped his bag obviously to run faster. So how did he get caught by slow zombies. And if it was a horde how did he not see them?

I’ve noticed that too. First season they were also running, sprinting after live flesh and now they’re just kind of shuffling around.
I think they’ve actually touched on this though. Remember when Michonne and Andrea were taken to Woodbury and the Governor and Milton were discussing the walkers Michonne kept? Milton mentioned that when they can’t feed they become more docile. The Governor asked “wouldn’t they starve” and Milton replied, “They are starving, they’re just doing it much more slowly than we do.”
I think they also expanded on this with the bar/restaurant patrons in the last episode and is why they were just sitting around until live flesh came in. During the after show they mentioned the writers had a long, drawn out debate as to whether the walkers would be milling around or resting and I think that is why they chose what they did.

Carl is definitely getting too big for his breeches, Rick had better rein him in a bit or he’s going to be walker bait.

Ceej 03-07-2013 11:09 AM

I think it was Land of the Dead where some zombies also started dying off because of hunger.

Don't even get me started on the hitchhiker. First thing I noticed was his tin cooking/eating dish hanging from the backpack by a metal carabiner. That thing would make so much noise, you might as well be ringing the dinner bell for the zombies as you walk by.

And I wondered the same thing. The guy has made it this long and then all of a sudden is taken out for no reason in the middle of nowhere in the wide open woods. I mean, I know why the writers put it in there, but it just doesn't make any sense what so ever.

allen_kcCard 03-07-2013 12:12 PM

Maybe he (hitchhiker) had a really good spot in an underground bunker with a good supply of food and water. Supplies ran low after all this time, so he packed up his stuff and ventured out into an unknown world to try to find help, oblivious of how bad things really were, and how people that have been out there since it all started might react after what they have seen and been through.

ThaVirus 03-07-2013 12:14 PM

Last episode was pretty good.

Was great seeing Morgan again; really sad about his son though. He should have killed his whore wife when he had the chance. That's just the world they live in now.

Speaking of that, seeing how cold everyone has become is pretty different as well. The hitchhiker was the most obvious indicator of that, but also when they got to Morgans fort. He ordered them to drop their weapons and Michonne said something to the effect of "we need that gun". They were fully prepared to do whatever it took to steal the mans weapon (and probably his only means of survival).

My opinion is that when Rick and Co. left him the second time, he just gave up and let the walkers take him. Suicide by Zombie, if you will.

blaise 03-07-2013 12:48 PM

The hitchhiker guy stuff I kind of let go. It doesn't seem plausible that he would be out there that way, but who knows what kind of random, unexplainable stuff you'd see if that was the state of the world.
Maybe someone left him there. Maybe he got turned out of somewhere.

bowener 03-07-2013 02:05 PM

A simple fix for the hitchhiker would have been to have him limping down the road.

mdchiefsfan 03-08-2013 04:58 AM

Man, I want Morgan back just because he is a great actor. That episode was quite gripping due to his abilities to play his role perfectly. The show could benefit with an actor of his quality around.

This show has progressively become more awesome each season. The first season wasn't really that great at the time of airing. I almost became a little disinterested and didn't care about it too much. Then I heard they were going with a different writer for each epidose of the 2nd season, which i thought was a great idea. The 2nd season was good. Some episodes were meh, but towards the end of it I was really hooked.

Now the 3rd season so far has just been badass. I'm loving the shit out of it. It's the only show right now that I actually watch live as it airs. Usually I'll DVR shows and watch them later. I loathe commercials.

1 hour that could have very well been condensed to 10 minutes (if that long).

1 scene killing 5 zombies and the rest of the show with Rick sitting at a ****ing table.

Lumpy 03-10-2013 09:46 PM

I thought the episode was pretty good, but it didn't go the way I had hoped. I was really wishing that the Governor would have pulled that hidden gun and Rick would have owned his ass by having a faster draw.

That was a nice touch by the writers having the members of each group socialize outside of the meeting. I have a feeling that will play heavily in what happens when they go to war.

I also thought that Glenn and Maggie were going to put on a show for the zombies. :hump: Nope. However, steamy scene was steamy.

Can't wait to see the next ep.

I had a running record in the first two seasons where something along the line would straight choke my shit up, a situation, a facial expression, an outcome, . . . every episode.

The first two seasons are top notch drama, top notch.

I'm curious as to what you thought was fantastic about it.

I literally got two dudes sitting at a table for a ****ing hour. This was interrupted by the occasional banter/mini zombie attack and concluded with some Maggie/Glen action.

Fishpicker 03-10-2013 11:23 PM

you know what would have been fantastic?

The governor should have agreed to a ceasefire on one condition. Turn over little ass kicker Judith.

Demanding Michonne in exchange for a ceasefire doesn't really mean much other than instant revenge for the Gov. If he had demanded Judith, that would guarantee Rick's group would never attack, the Gov's paternal instinct would be satiated, Rick would be relieved of caring for Shane's daughter, and Judith would be raised in a proper home.

KevB 03-10-2013 11:33 PM

I liked the episode, but the back and forth with Rick/Gov didn't quite live up to what I'd hoped. Rick was fine, but not sure the Gov is bringing the necessary dread in his scenes.

Asking for Judith was the thing I thought the Gov was going to ask for. I thought it would have made the most sense as you stated above.

In my reading, the governor isn't interested in strategy, peace, or fruitfulness. He's now driven purely by revenge and sadism. I knew as soon as he started talking that he was going to ask for Michonne. She killed his daughter and destroyed his eye. He wants to inflict some serious pain on her. I also don't buy for a second that he's going to leave Rick and Co. alone if they give up Michonne (which I think was pretty straightforwardly spelled out when he returned to Woodbury and started issuing commands to his soldiers).

This is one of those situations where I think the people who read the comics have a slightly different take on the governor than those who only watch the show, though. In the TV show, the main really screwed up thing we've seen him do so far was his treatment of Maggie, and even with that he stopped prior to actually committing rape. Of course, he killed all of those soldiers as well, but that's more about survival of the fittest than downright sadism. In the comics, he is a much, much more vile character.

The first two seasons are top notch drama, top notch.

She made a sacrifice for me.

I will have to make one for her and watch GA.

It would have been a much more effective episode if the writers would have developed Micchone instead of her being some brooding background figure the past season. Make the viewers care a little.

Yep. They finally melted the ice on her a tad last episode, just so they could talk about sacrificing her this one. Lazy.

that's correct and i think that is why some people feel that the Governor's storyline doesn't make much sense. In the comic books the Governor is a outright villain. On the TV show, the governor is a creep. He has been softened a bit because he did things in the comics that wouldn't (couldn't?) be aired on TV. The Governor asked for Michonne and we know Ricks answer will be no, just as the answer would be no if he asked for Judith.

No is the answer that the Governor wants to hear. Demanding Rick turn over Judith would have resulted in a more definite no. Oh well, we can see where this is headed. I just wish the writers for TWD would stop telegraphing where the plot is headed.

Anyone read Rise of the Governor? It explains why when Andrea asked him what his real name is he is hesitant to say what it is.

I wonder if they are setting this up to give Michonne a little bit of the treatment she got in the comics.
