PREDICTIONS

Michonne will be the popular, breakout character.

The guys who lopped his hand off in season one will return as the governor’s henchman, and be at odds with his brother, Tivk’s henchman.

Rick’s wife will die this season.

I forgot, did Dale make it out alive last season? If so, he won’t make it through the season either.

I just loved the scene with the kid and the old man on the watchtower plugging away at zombies and enjoying it.

Observations and nitpicks from the season premiere:

1. Several references to things that happened over the winter -- so I think we're going to see a lot of flashback scenes this season; I wouldn't be surprised if tonight opens with a flashback.

2. Continuing with last winter ... at the end of last season, everybody was shocked with Rick's admissions (about killing Shane and about Jenner's secret), and Lori wouldn't talk to him. Now ... everybody respects Rick and hates Lori. Will be interesting to find out what happened over the winter.

3. Considering the way the group acted like a SWAT team in last week's episode -- plus Rick saying to Carol "You've become a pretty good shot" -- they've obviously been doing a lot of disciplined training. Thanks to "new Rick," I'm guessing.

4. Why was the oldest guy -- and only doctor -- part of the walker clearing crew??? Bad tactical planning. Regarding the emergency amputation -- an old guy with one leg missing is not going to last long in a walker world -- so it's clear that Rick is saving him only for a selfish reason, to deliver the baby.

5. If they've been on the run all winter, why did it take them 7 months to discover a prison complex that's only a mile or two away?? Also: they just "stumbled upon" this prison -- but Rick was the SHERIFF. How come he didn't know there would be a major prison there?

6. Nice touch that Rick has improvised silencers for the guns (although silencers don't really work that way).

7. After a year or so living in this world of walkers, you'd think that survivors would have learned NOT to step over a walker body unless they'd verified that it had a punctured head.

I hope they stick to the story line and take out Lori. She is very annoying.

Even though it was a great departure from the original comic, I wish Shane could have stayed. I know he was kind of a bad guy, but often his decisions were better than those of Rick. I didn’t care for the Season 2 version of Rick — he’s a lot better in the season 3 premiere though.

My favorite character is Daryl — also not in the original comic.

Predictions:

T-Dog will get a few more speaking lines this season.

Merle is going to cut off Rick’s arms as payback for his self-amputation in season 1.

Merle and Daryl will have a falling out.

The governor may lose several important parts of his body.

Best alternative intro to the Walking Dead.

Forgot to ask. Haven’t read the graphic novels, but wonder if the series has diverged at all from them. I watch True Blood, and have read several of the books it’s based on, and the TV series has differed greatly from the books.

Out of respect to your thread, I will not make a comment.

My predictions:

Ricks wife will have a dead fetus, reborn as a zombie, claw and bite it’s way out of her, a’la Alien. MuhuhahahahAHAHAHAH!!!

Merle will return, with a rocket launcher where his hand was.

Merle and Daryl will fight to the death. Merle will lose.

Herschel will Zombify. Maggie will put him down.

The prisoners they discovered, and the group, will civil-war for the prison. The group will win. Of course, or the series would stop.

Michonne is lesbian and professes her love for Andrea. Andrea will convert from hetero.

Obama will appear at the end of season 3, zombified. Axelrod, too. Rick will happily put them down, saying in his best Clint Eastwood impression, “I didn’t VOTE for ya, either.”

Carol will seduce Darryl.

Some of these are serious, others are not.

- Obamacare is proven to be a complete failure
- Fast & Furious guns are used to kill a zombified Eric Holder.
- A living Barack Obama is found inside the relative safety of an insane asylum. He is sitting on the floor with his arms wrapped tightly around his knees,rocking back and forth, muttering, “I killed Bin Laden and saved GM, I killed Bin Laden and saved GM...”

Having read the comics, my predictions are:

1) Hershel has taken over Dale's plotlines, which is why he's lost the leg. He'll survive the prison arc but will end up getting killed later on in the cannibal arc.

2) Daryl will take Tyrese's place in the comics and get involved with Carol, but then cheat on her with Michonne. This'll make Carol suicidal and lead to her letting Walkers kill her.

3) While Hershel doesn't have twin daughters in the series, he still has Maggie and Beth. It'll be Beth who gets killed by the serial killer among the prisoners.

4) As in the comics, Lori will give birth to the baby safely, but both she and the baby will die when the Governor assaults the prison.

5) Now this is my big fear... Daryl will get killed when the Governor assaults the prison. If my guess is right about his taking over for Tyrese, then that means that, like Tyrese, he'll join Michonne on an ill-conceived commando raid behind enemy lines and they'll both get captured. The Governor will then decapitate Daryl with Michonne's own sword. I hope to God I'm wrong, though, because Daryl's the next best thing about the show right behind Rick. If they get rid of him then I'm not sure how I'd feel about the show after that.
