The Walking Dead follows Rick Grimes, a police officer who was shot and went into a coma, an event which may in fact have saved his life – while he was in the hospital, an unknown event caused a zombie apocalypse. Rick wakes from his coma and sets off to try and find his family and luckily he does manage to be reunited with them and the group of survivors that they are a part of. Eventually he becomes the leader.
Based on the long-running comic book series from Robert Kirkman, the TV show loosely follows the comics storyline, with new story elements and characters added in to keep it fresh for both fans and first time viewers alike.
Already in season three we have been introduced to the town of Woodbury and another group of survivors led by the secretly evil character called The Governor. We have been shown the prison which will become the home of Rick’s group – at least for a while – and have been introduced to fan favourites like Michonne and Tyrese. The midseason finale left off with a gun fight between the two groups of survivors, The Governor injured with the loss of an eye, and the Dixon Brothers in what could be one hell of a deadly situation.
Now that season three is returning with 8 episodes left, we thought we would have a look at things we would like to see in the rest of this season, both from the comics and in general.

Personally, for me, as long as they don’t kill Glenn, as long as the deaths are organic to the storyline, they can kill off anyone they want. Maybe that makes me the morbid one here…
Hey, Andrew Lincoln might just be a really method actor and cut that no-hand green screen cost to nothing. Yeah, I am the morbid one. And great article!
If he’s willing to do it, then that would help a lot. Thanks.
They’ve already stated that due to production complications that Rick will not lose his hand.
I know that and do mention it in the article but it’s still something I would like to see them do
Great article!, I’m excited for season 4. I wonder if they’ll go with the saviors story line immediately after this season. Introduce Jesus and Negan.
Thanks, I don’t think that would go into it straight away especially after Woodbury, I think they might do some more on the road stuff first to lead into it
I dont know if two whole seasons of the prison is really worth it. I wanna see em heading to DC, because all that stuff with the Hilltop Colony and the Alexandria Safe Zone, works better over a longer span of time.
In the promo, I sort of doubted that they would be at the prison for a long time, because there is a shot of Rick, Michonne and Carl looking out on an empty street and it reminded me in the comics of what happened after the prison blood bath when Carl and Rick were on there own and then met up with Michonne.
I’ve only read the first couple of issues in the comic book, but I had to stop because of the horrible writing. I want to show to take a completely different route, maybe taking some inspiration from the comic but make it… better.
