Spoilered just in case:

My god, what an episode! I'm still in shock. T Dog and Lori going down. Stunning. And Rick at the end broke my heart and made my eyes leak. [/spoiler]

Wonderful series based upon a wonderful comic. Pretty flawless in my eyes buddy!

Love it, love the comic too. Very intrigued to see how Michonne & The Governor's 'relationship' develops. I'm doubting it'll go to the comic's extremes. The latest tv episode was gut wrenching though. Sarah Wayne Callies has taken a fair bit of flak over her acting in this, i think she got it spot on though this time.

There are a whole host of changes from the comic which is not a bad thing.

After about vol 30 the comic goes a bit downhill in my opinion.
But the TV series seems to be going from strength to strength.

Series 3 has been pretty intense so far! After episode 4 I'm wondering how they'll raise the stakes for the finale. Was pretty deep stuff!

I think they *have* to deviate from the comic as it keeps longtime fans on their toes. Can't underestimate the huge audience who reads the comics (myself included since day one) so when they come leftfield with a plot turn it can take your breath away. Specifically thinking Sophia and Dale in season two and the obvious ones we're getting now in season three. Tremendous show, long may it continue. Lincoln's nailed the 1000 yard stare........

They've got plenty they can go off from the comics to keep the shock factor going, plus a huge amount that they won't be able to use as well - in particular from both Woodbury & the Prison. I am intrigued how they're going to play it out with the Woodbury/Prison arc - it'll all come to a head in the next couple of weeks as i believe they're going to move away from it after the mid season break.
