They're getting rid of the old to make way for the new:

"Twilight" star Christian Serratos will play a new character in Season 4: Rosita Espinosa, a tough, 20-something woman. Rosita is a character in the comic series, where she and two friends, Abraham and Eugene, meet up with Rick and his crew at Hershel's farm. Rosita, who is likely to be introduced later in the season, will also probably be introduced at the same time as Abraham and Eugene.

Actress Alanna Masterson is another Season 4 cast addition, playing a new survivor who will make her debut around midseason, Deadline reports.

Ok, you remove three interesting, quality women with 2-3 young trick whores. am i missing something here? guaranteed, there characters will have no substance. give me andrea, carol and karen any day.

Love the walking dead, sometimes it needs to move a bit quicker but overall it has a movie quality to it. The whole thing has so much scope it only ever feels its just scratching the surface. Personally i want them.back in the city, i like all the deserted buildings and streets and makes it more interesting than being in one location all the time. I heard once they leave the prison DC is the next stop, i think that was going by the comic book.

Sorry man. Walking Dead prides itself on spoilers... the actors are always tweeting, their filming scenes (from the second half of season 4) show us who is still going to be alive after the mid-season cliffhanger. The "death dinner" they always have to celebrate a person being killed off already tells us which main character is usually going to bite the bullet in the next episode or two.

Still, I'll work on it, or at least write SPOILER really big.

semi-spoiler ahead!

this season has been a disappointment, I agree there. I *know* they're trying to create that sad, sick era. After this, there's a HUGE ending to eipsodes 7/8. Then they hit the road. And I think THAT is when it'll get good again. The prison has gotten old. Once they leave there, the freedom to create ANYTHING will exist again. At this point, what can they do at prison? get attacked, get sick, or sit around being bored.

I never read the comic so I don't know if staying in the prison for so long was part of the history or a tactic to not spend thousands of dollars on portraying an apocalyptic city like the ones we saw on season 1. I don't think is going to get any better but I'll still watch the show.

WD is now the #1 most watched show on TV - http://blogs.houstonpress.com/artattack/2013/10/walking_dead_top_show_on_tv.php

AMC makes $8mil per episode. - http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2013/10/amc-makes-per-episode-of-the-walking-dead

They could film it on the moon and still be profitable. I would LOVE to see a return to the city for them, was totally badass early in season 1, and at the end when they went to the CDC.

Oh I see, they should film some episodes in a bad-ass scenario then. No more boring cells, they also should put more effort when portraying suburban areas. In the last episode the houses were pretty clean and the grass was cut, lol

They still have to follow the comic somewhat (Kirkman is supervising), so the cells are there due to the comic.

But things will change soon, and so can Kirkmans mood and vision for the TV-show

hahaha great point!!! that neighborhood was in damn good shape, all things considered.

the other thing is this...

Everytime I watch one of those "what if man disappeared" shows on History channel, I always notice the giant nuke meltdowns that will happen when electricity fails and all these nuke plants release shit all over the world. None of that happens in walking dead... or maybe that's what is causing the monster flu, who knows.

I dont know the spoiler to this one... but my guess is, he governor shows up in a tank, wrecks the fence, blows some holes in the walls, gets killed in the big battle... but then the damage is done, the walkers are everywhere, and they decide to hit the road. Who knows tho. I dont think a herd alone would do it... they're creative enough not to need to wreck their home over that. No way the gov shows up for an epic battle and doesn't blow some shit up.

residue · « **Reply #139 on:** November 07, 2013, 10:14:03 PM »

the tank scene is fairly famous from the books i assume that hows it gets done.

if they are fighting to hold the fence from 60 zombies what will happen when that super herd shows up from 50 miles away? remember at the pace they walk it will take a couple of weeks.

if there is a battle with the govenor, i agree that gun fire will bring the herd. my guess is, the herd shows up during the fight? that would be good.

New episode "INTERNMENT" - best episode of the season so far. Rick/Carl killing sequence of a few hundred zombies was awesome. 5 minutes left... will the governor appear in the closing sequence?

Edit: Yes. That was a little predictable

Yeah, Rick and Carl were cool but WTF didn't Glenn die?

There's no such thing as a hardcore Asian dude unless it's a Kungfu flick.

Self-righteous Rick is annoying. All of a sudden he decides to wake up after being in zombie farmer mode for so long and now he wants to judge someone for stepping up to the plate and doing what a leader does -- make tough decisions.

i don't recall it being slow, the first season was excellent. The atmosphere in the deserted city was great.

The long, soul searching dialogues slow the whole pace of the show. And the prison, enough already. Obvious that it's virus affected, so need a one way road trip to get the hell out of there. That chain link fence becomes useless anyway. If winter ever settles in (doubt it ever will) time to head south from Georgia. Miami's south beach is nice this time of year. The women Zombies will have better bodies.

One eyed Gov is back....good and seems to have a small posses with him. The show needs this jump start and with new characters (prefer women). Don't think we will see the last of Carol either.
