Last week AMC released three videos teasing the second part of The Walking Dead Season 3. Of course I couldn’t resist checking them out, so I watched them and thought I would share my thoughts. Overall, none of it is Earth shattering or terribly revealing so you’re not missing much if you don’t see them.
This almost six-minute piece contains clips and interviews with the actors, but basically it’s just people stating the obvious about how dark things have gotten on the show. They discuss how it’s interesting to watch the characters reach their breaking points and make vague forecasts about what’s in store for the second half of Season 3. For me the highlight is to hear all the British actors with their normal voices, especially Andrew Lincoln (Rick) and David Morrisey (The Governor). I always forget that Lauren Cohan (Maggie) is a Brit too.
Special Trailer for the Second Half of Season 3
This one is my favorite because it raises some interesting questions. In the trailer, Glenn tells Maggie “You and I can end this tonight.” What he’s referring to? I hope he doesn’t mean their relationship or that he’s hinting at suicide. Daryl is seen running from bullets, so clearly escapes (Thank God). Then Hershel’s daughter kisses Rick on the cheek, which is weird. What reason will she have to do that? The last thing of note is that Carl tells Rick he should stop being the leader. Rick’s status as head honcho comes up in the comic and becomes a point of conflict with Tyreese. Definitely curious to see where they go with that.
Sneak Peek at Episode 9 (Suicide King)
Nothing much happens in this minute long clip. It’s literally right where Episode 8 ended. Just people standing around chanting with The Governor walking around. Daryl and Merle look at each other, while breathing heavily and Andrea tries to help Daryl. Maybe she’s finally coming to her senses. I’d be happy about Andrea becoming a better character. Then that jerkface The Governor says there is nothing he can do and that the people have spoken. Lame. At least we know Daryl will be on the run. Wonder if they’ll kill Merle.
What are you looking forward to the most in The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 9?
