= Gary except that... the end of last season clearly showed us that they were going to stay in the prison. BUT, be sure that (considering how things are starting to get f@cked up) they'll end up leaving, and prolly even splitting the group (last chapt teaser).
I really like the show. First, I wasn't interested at all, but my best friend made me watch the first season marathon and well, it was really enjoyable. The 2nd season was the highlight, no one can deny it (prolly cause it was, apparently, really close to the comic). The 3rd season was just different, as there was actually a real villain, the craziest character ever in the comic was introduced (...you know who, lol) and a lot of people came back. Honestly, I really liked it, but some characters (Merle and Andrea to be more specific) became so.. dumb. The last 3/4 chapters were a bit of a pain for some moments, and the last chapter didn't seem like an ending, no climax at all. There were a LOT of differences compared to the comics, that's what a lot of people complained about... the rest just complained because Andrea was a dumb b!tch but that's a different story.
The first chapter in this season was OK (I don't mind the side-stories, those just spice up the main story a little, somehow), I was expecting more, but I can't complain (except for the helicopter in the roof, that was retarded). The second chapter was definetly better. It's said that this season will follow the comics a lot more, and that there's a different director and everything, so if the ending of season 3 made you stop watching it, I'd consider twice.
I dunno, I would never call the series mediocre. It's actually very enjoyable, the plot is good (nothing amazing right now, but it has its moments) the characters are unique... yeah, i'd go on but it's too muh I believe
And Kat, I still dunno why you don't like the zombies, I dunno what has changed tbh
