Yeah we need some Abe. I don't know yet we still haven't seen to much Tyreese action. I read that the next season will be more character development, especially between Rick & Carl.

 

As long as it's nothing like Andrea's crappy character development, I'm down.

From CBR

 

The fourth season of AMC's adaptation of Robert Kirkman and company's Image Comics/Skybound comic "The Walking Dead" may be the first where readers of the comic have absolutely no idea of what's coming next.

 

After a third season that featured some shocking deaths not seen in the comics (and at least one major new survival as well), next fall's episodes of the zombie-fueled drama will have a lot of original story beats all their own.

 

Today, The Hollywood Reporter debuted a video spotlighting work on the season premier by new show runner Scott Gimple and director/zombie effects master Greg Nicotero. Check it out below for an early glimpse at where the drama may swerve next.

Been saying for months Kirkman is going to go the "fightback route".

Abe,Ros and Eugene show up with 30+ marines, more survivors join and Woodbury expands.

The prison is used as a 'protected farm' as it has land, and more importantly fuel, 50 seater vehicles and a generator - plus kitchen, OR etc.

Woodbury to live in - The Prison for food, hospital, jail etc, all protected by fences and watchtowers.

The Marines know of a national Guard depot 10 miles away which allows the prison/Woodbury people to rearm and restock.(sound familiar)

Eugene was a science teacher who can make bullets etc.

Then its time to clear out a town and in the process find that other survivors are established.

Mid-season break - The Govenor is head of a group terrorising settlements for food, and now calls himself Negan......

 

Allows Kirkman to bypass all the Alexandria stuff which is just Woodbury with a different name.

 

There was a rumour Michelle Rodriguez had been approached. Rosita...?

 

That would be a show worth watching I reckon.

Finally up to date on the series, loving it. I really like that they are not going exactly as the comic. I only read the first 20 comics and skimmed a few others, I like that it is some what different. I think I am enjoying the series more because I didn't read the comics. Seems like a lot of the hard core readers are disappointed with the changes, I like that. I enjoyed the Kicks@$$ comic but I only watched 1/2 the movie before I turned it off, it was exactly the same thus boring. I really like the changes as it kept me guessing, now its all new material for me...good stuff.

 

I can't wait for the new season to start.

Some news for Season 4.........

 

“Walking Dead” fans should definitely be worried about Rick Grimes when the AMC series returns for its fourth season this fall. Photos from the Georgia set have leaked online, and it appears that the Sheriff has suffered a potentially gruesome injury.

 

The leaked season-four photos can be found on “Walking Dead” Facebook fan page, DEAD TALK. The pictures show Rick and Carol with some supplies in their trunk, and Rick is crouched on the side of the road. While the shots initially don’t look too interesting or “spoiler-y,” a closer look at Rick’s hands will definitely have fans in a tizzy: His right hand is bandaged.

 

If we look to the graphic novels for clues, Rick’s hand could have been injured in either of two situations. In the comic books, Rick breaks and mutilates his hand in the prison when he attacks a character named Thomas as he believes the man murdered Hershel’s two youngest daughters, and attempted to murder Andrea. While Rick doesn’t kill Thomas, the group does decide to hang him. However, before they can go through with it, a woman named Patricia lets him out of a cell. Maggie ends up shooting him multiple times, and while the group debates what to do with Patricia, a separate group in the prison tries to force Rick’s group out.  

 

The AMC TV series doesn’t exactly follow the comics, but if Rick’s group was kicked out of the prison after a fight, that could be why the car is packed with supplies. Another possible explanation for Rick’s injury is that his hand was chopped off; in the graphic novels, the Governor chops off Rick’s hand when he refuses to tell him where his group his hiding out.

 

While that doesn’t follow the current timeline of events on the TV show, the Governor IS still lurking out there. As creator Robert Kirkman explained, they still have plans for the Governor in season four. “We always knew that it was a bigger story than would fit into one season,” Kirkman said to TVLine after the season-three finale. “There’s still a lot more to be done with this guy. We’ve known from the very first minute of season three that we would be keeping the Governor around for a while.”

 

Judging by Kirkman’s slight spoilers for the upcoming season, we’re leaning more toward the theory that Rick was injured vs. his hand being chopped off. In 2011 Kirkman told reporters at San Diego’s Comic Con that he didn’t think they should cut the character’s hand off on television.

 

“When I’m writing a comic book, I don’t think about what I’m doing,” he dished. “I go, ‘Oh, it’d be pretty cool if they cut his hand off right now. That’d be pretty shocking, right?’ Then I do it, and five issues later, I write, ‘Rick opens a can of beans,’ and then I look at the -script and think ‘He can’t do that now.’ I don’t even think that through.”

 

Assuming Kirkman sticks to his 2011 comment about Rick’s hand, another comment he made to TVLine in April can’t be ignored. The creator said that Rick’s group will definitely “start” season four at the prison. “We may be there the whole season and we may not be … But there are going to be some big differences from season three.” Was Robert Kirkman hinting that the group could potentially be kicked out of the prison?

Kirkman's comments were kind of shocking. He decided to chop off Rick's hand on a whim? Is he really just winging it? It would explain a lot about the meandering storyline for the past couple of years.
