First off, comic book people should not comment on my post if there's a spoiler that exists for what I'm about to say haha.
1. Michonne is some kind of freaky badass character! I can't wait to see what kind of gang/crew she's a part of, if any. A sword as a primary weapon!? Awesome. Just awesome.
2. Introducing a prison to the fold is ingenious. I'm wondering if that prison is maybe already populated with maybe a prison raider gang OR it's unpopulated altogether, which is pretty damn good place to set up camp OR it's extremely populated with prisoner zombies. So much interesting speculation can be made about the prison.
3. In this episode of Talking Dead one of the director/writers said that one of Merle, Morgan, or Morgan's son Duane will reappear in season 3. Each one could bring an interesting dynamic to the group. a) Merle would force Darryl to choose between his old self and his new self; b) Morgan would add a good character to the group which would be a nice addition to a Rick/Darryl/Morgan trio; c) Duane could become a friend of Carl's, maybe helping him get back to living a childhood. Either way, I'm glad one of those three characters are coming back.
4. Glad to hear Darryl doesn't feel Rick is using him. I don't really want the whole group to split up.
5. I found it interesting that they kept Hershel around. I'm interested to see what he brings to season 3. I like the fact that he's struggling with a whole new kind of morality. He used to think he had the world figured out, but now he's developing a new view of the world which doesn't fit into his Christian worldview.
6. I liked Rick's speech at the end. It sort of set everyone straight (I think). They've accepted, and probably don't care, that he is without a doubt the best leader they have.
7. My one hope as a viewer of this show is that they find a base home and do ALOT of scavenging. I enjoy it when they scavenge because they it keeps the show moving (i.e., find new characters, more zombie killing, the killing off of characters, and just overall conflict and good viewing).
Anyways, so excited for October. This is going to a loooooong summer haha.
