Omg yaaaassss been waiting soooo long ❤️ been rewatching season 3 since the last post and keep thinking what you'll have to say about this season and the future seasons ❤️

wren

carl and rick are using suppressors on their pistols so that they can make less noise while using them

Yasmin R

Daryl was calling the baby Lori is carrying Lil Shane lol!

Isaiah

lol lil Shane is the baby to be

amy

Daryl is calling Lori's baby "Little Shane" 😂

I absolutely LOVE this episode, it my favorite in the entire franchise tbh, especially the hand-to-hand clearing scene. Maggie looking all excited and proud after getting the armored walker with "See that?!" gets me every time, I love her.😂 Rick has a really hard time even looking at Lori because of Shane; having to kill him, having to come to terms with the fact that the baby probably isn't his, and Lori's rejection at the end of last season. He has to deal with his issues with Shane and that situation and I think he knows that, but he definitely has a hard time with it.

WillDaBeast Grasslands

I disagree slightly with the analysis on Rick towards Lori. Rick and Lori definitely had some issues beforehand, but the way Rick was treating Lori in this episode was not typical Rick behavior. It most likely came from the interaction they had once Rick told Lori that he killed Shane, and then she got upset with him and stormed off. She was dismissive of what he had to go through first, and now I think he's just emotionally done with her. I'm not saying he's handling it in the best way possible, but I do feel for Rick here, and I think his reaction to Lori given the circumstances is more than understandable. Also, Rick is weighing his priorities. He's trying to find a safe place for her to have the baby, and for everyone to live. I honestly don't blame him for taking care of what needs to be done first before dealing with emotional turmoil in which he is partially the victim in. He's at his breaking point, and the one person he needed most (Lori) rejected him when he needed her most.

Isaiah

lol also everybody probably knows that’s probably Shane’s baby

Korivex

I appreciate that you have an understanding of Lori, a lot of people don't and think she is terrible, however, I don't blame Rick for being a bit cold to her after the way she treated him when he told her that he killed Shane. He finally opened up about how he felt about Shane and she completely shut him down. Also, when Daryl said 'little Shane has quite the appetite' I think he was referring to the baby in Lori's belly.

The baseball bat gun is kinda a meme in the fanbase, but the attachment is a suppressor. I am unfamiliar with its model, but you can definitely saw a baseballbat in half and turn it into a suppressor There is also a flashlight used as a suppressor in this franchise, and people clowned on it, but what people dont know is that you can make homemade suppressors for your guns. Ballistic machinist is a youtuber who made a suppressor out of a flashlight. Its not pretty but it works.

sk8star

rick is dismissive because he still resents her for sleeping with shane and the fact that most likely the baby is shane’s

Lab

I love how 3 seasons in and Uncle Tom still listens to the intro theme music

Saltnlight

Season 3 opener is an absolute beaut!

Vamwolf 77

Chandler Riggs, Carl's actor, is 12, so I've always figured Carl is the same. I'm not sure if that's canonical; maybe somebody who read the comics could say for sure.

GingerBread

having a baby turn while in your body and become a zombie?.....I am a man and that thought terrifies me holy....

Jesse James

Likely the same but (shrug) I have read that the TV show and comics are a lot different. As brutal as the show is the comics are even more brutal.

Jesse James

It really grabs your attention

Jesse James

I'm dying to know what Tom has to say about future seasons.

Mason Miller

Yoooo I almost forgot this came out today!

courtney 🧚🏽‍♀️

one of my FAV seasons. i cant help but love the prison arc, at least most of it lol i can't say i blame rick for being cold towards lori. she constantly pushes him away and has disrespected him and their marriage so much. rick is human too. i know he isn't the best communicator but whenever he does try opening up especially about shane is like what he said in the very first episode. its like she didn't want to hear it at all. she abandoned him emotionally when he needed her. his feelings are hurt. i think that final betrayal of her flinching away from him was just too much for him to forgive, and rightfully so. i think he has every right to be angry with lori bc he chose to let everything she did go and she kept trying him. he can only take so much. yet he still took care of her, protected her and provided for her bc at the end of the day she is still his wife, a man. he deserves some time and space to forgive her. they're deep in survival mode right now so i also think he's extremely stressed and doesn't want to add in drama. plus he's still grieving shane. its a lot 😅 i know rick isn't perfect but he's a GREAT leader and he's so smart. the way the group was moving was soooooo good, very efficient and tactical/militant. ricks police/law enforcement background has always came in handy, but you can see it even more now. they're all in sync and you can tell how strong they got being on the road. i literally screamed when hershel got bit smh he def shouldn't have been in there but it could've happened to anyone i guess. i just know his reflexes are slower which may have contributed to what happened.

Stash Barber

their problems before everything went to shit seemed to have been communication. to quote rick in s01e01: "thing is, lately whenever i try (opening up to her), everything i say makes her impatient, like she didn't want to hear it after all. it's like she's... pissed at me all the time and i don't know why." i'm not saying this must be exactly how things were but i for one could relate in a lot of my relationships. i had some great relationships too. but the last one was abusive as all get out. horrible, 15 years later she still assumes my inner monologue and berates me.

Arthur Mitchell

In my view, Rick is resentful because he knows the baby isn't his, and also because of the way Lori blamed him for Carl shooting Walker Shane. At the same time, Rick, in this season and the previous season and many to come, is burdened with a severe sense of responsibility that none of us could even begin to comprehend at this level, that scene in the prison where everyone has bunkered up together and he just slowly leans against the wall shows that he is so close to mentally breaking, but he belives he cannot because he deeply does not want anyone to die, he was more likely than not already planning the next step, I guess people have to question whether in his shoes, could they really balance having close relationships, being there spiritually and emotionally for everyone, whilst also trying to protect everyone around you, I'm sure you could try, but it would be so difficult I believe.

Stephen L

My top three favorite seasons. Yes yes yes!

Zak Lewis

It's a silencer on Carl's gun

Zak Lewis

Rick knows the baby isn't his, prolly why he is resentful.

MaggieS61

I think Rick is treating Lori this way because of her ridiculous reaction when he told her what happened to Shane. It seemed to him, understandably, that she truly cared for Shane. He couldn’t understand why she would push him away. First she makes him feel like Shane is a danger to everyone and needed to be “taken care of”, and then reacts like that when he’s killed. She’s so hot and cold, he doesn’t understand what she wants anymore. So, when she violently pushed him away, after he opened up to her, he thought, “Fine. If that’s how you want it”…. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel bad about it. He just doesn’t get her anymore, and can’t afford the energy it would take to work on it at this point. That’s my take…..

Ya'Mum!!!!!

NO were not defending Lori! ,,,,wt they were going thru was no different from any normal marriage,,,,she is no victim ,,,she couldve slept with ANYBODY else,,,,his best friend was foul!!!!!

Daniel Perkey

He called the baby little Shane.

Ya'Mum!!!!!

Rick doesnt owe Lori any grace at this point....dnt u realize how much shes done to him?

Jaynellen

This season is my favorite. Lori and Rick have not been able to get past what happened with Shane. She keeps trying at this point, Rick is hyper focused on finding a place for them all and he never got over her reaction when he told her about Shane and that Carl had been the one to take down Shane as a walker. The 'bat gun' that Carl had is a gun with a silencer. I am sure that having those is very helpful to keep things quieter. I was really wondering how you would react to Hershel getting bit and the other prisoners. I still love the dynamic between Carol and Daryl, they really do love each other but it's very familial and not romantic. Carol is really coming into her own at this point. Carl has changed so much since we last saw him huddling with his mom by the campfire at the end of last season. I cannot wait for the next episode.

Daniel Perkey

I wouldn't say they felt broken I would say they were tears of joy and gratitude for finally having a safe place to truly sleep and not worry.

Brittany Lewandowski

Daryl and Carol the best ship around! Also I despise Lori. She's my number 1 most hated tv character. The actress is sooo good though. Love her in Prison BReak.

Brittany Lewandowski

He is, its later in the show where the ages no longer match.

Reaction Therapy

This makes sense, and sounds totally logical. This is what I love about reactions because it’s my impression in the moment and then I get to hear feedback from you! It makes me wish I had a round table discussion with yall while I’m watching because this show is soooooooo complex😊👍

Reaction Therapy

I totally understand and I’ll probably get eaten alive on YouTube when this episode goes out..but I am typically harder on men in terms of wanting them to pursue and show up, so that’s probably on me🙏

Reaction Therapy

You know it’s a great show when you hate a character but love how good the actor was in playing the character 😊👍

Reaction Therapy

I think they both have enough misery to go around for each other. Marriage is a 2 way street🫣

Reaction Therapy

I don’t think she should’ve EVER slept with Shane, that was bad….but I think there was gonna be an affair no matter what because of Rick being so emotionally unavailable even before all this started

Angelica Albanese

Welcome to the prison, Tom! :D It's one of my favorite locations we get to see in the series and I can't wait to watch you react to them.

WillDaBeast Grasslands

Oh trust me, we would love nothing more than that! Your analysis and experience is always a joy to listen to, even if there's disagreement at times. Like you said, lots of nuance in this show. Thanks for making the rewatch of a series so much fun!

MysteriousWays

I think Rick is avoiding Lori because on top of sleeping with Shane, she didn't support him at his lowest point at the end of last season. How is he supposed to open up when people keep betraying him? His best friend slept with his wife, then tried to kill him, twice actually. He forced Rick's hand, and Lori's reaction to all of that last episode was just no empathy, no support, even though she played a huge role in the dynamic. Rick is supposed to just process that on his own and lead the group. Now they're on the road, Rick's barely keeping everyone safe, and he finds the perfect place, they just need to push a little and make it safe. All the while while prioritizing what it's likely Shane's baby, a constant reminder of what happened. And NOW is when Lori thinks it's time to confront things? It's an unfair burden at the wrong time, and Rick is entitled to some space in my opinion. He is a bad communicator, that's always been true, but Lori has damaged this relationship so much, that it's going to take a lot more time and a stable environment to even consider fixing it

Josh Caligaris

I feel the same way you do about the intro music lmao

Lee Shafer

I think the main reason lori stormed away is because Rick said Carl put him down . You know how she was up to that point with Carl and a gun .

Ya'Mum!!!!!

Exactly! Because she was already one foot out the door before the apocalypse even began…and I’ll never get over being in the center of the apocalypse and thinking I’m horny Hey let’s sleep with my dead husbands best friend 😊 👍🏾 that’ll pass the time 🙄

Emoduckky

Coincidentally, that suppressor on carl's gun is actually straight up the handle of an aluminum baseball bat that the group makeshifted off screen.

Zero

Yup, especially with her being super pregnant now.

Zero

@Jesse Same, this is where the show really starts being peak television. The plot just gets better and better.

Zero

I think people are way too harsh on her for that. It's not like she randomly woke up one day and picked Shane. He saved her and her son from the most turbulent chaos that either of them had ever seen; it was gradual. She thought Rick was dead (because he told her so) for at least 3 weeks by that point and women do tend to move on faster statistically. But it was pretty clear that she hadn't fully moved on and that Shane was just a rebound from that first scene we see them together in.

Ya'Mum!!!!!

No women linger emotionally they do not move on faster that’s a male trait…if I’m fighting for my life and trying to protect my son I can understand leaning on the closest person or past normalcy but sleeping with him is a crazy betrayal…their relationship should be brother sister like ..she could sleep with ANYBODY else…

Bailey Abbott

I think that at the end of season 2 rick tried to seek shelter in her and ground him emotionally after all he had to do and went through but lori shut him down even though she wanted him to express himself and look for help in her and now he doesnt see shelter in Lori anymore or it is hard to because in the one moment he needed it and seeked help he was shut down by the very person that wanted him to do that

Reaction Therapy

This is why TWD is one of the greatest shows….the moral dilemmas, the situations that could spark debate and either side could be right…I love that….in other words, nobody is wrong😊 I will say this, as a therapist, it’s important to take into account the entire picture rather than just the current situation. Realistically their problems, go way back before the apocalypse, and on Rick’s side he’s probably been emotionally distant in a bad communicator for a long time and Lori just tolerated that.. On top of that, Lori did not have an affair on her husband, this is a very different situation because she presumed her husband was dead and there was no way for him to survive so she became emotionally vulnerable and slid into something with Shane. I don’t think she should’ve done that but I also don’t think it was an affair because of the situation with Rick being gone. On top of that, Lori and Rick are both incredibly stubborn people who don’t like to admit when they’re wrong, so Lori likes to put the blame on him for things that she’s responsible for. The difficulty is that the alternative is to just continue to live completely separate and have no relationship whatsoever, and just coexist But an oral like this it’s constant survival mode, so there really is no fix🙏

Reaction Therapy

I agree, and unfortunately, I think that’s probably been their pattern since way before the apocalypse, so there might be no way to fix this

MysteriousWays

Haha, it is true that there's no clear way to analyze this, that's why every episode has you on the edge of your seat It wasn't an affair technically, and Rick definitely is bad at communicating, this is explained in the first episode after all, the writers were very clearly signaling that. Some people act like Lori was supposed to handle everything perfectly, and she's only human. And on the other hand, for all of Shane's faults, the one thing he would always do is show his emotions (too much even), which Lori probably found refreshing at first. However, I am talking about empathy because even though all of these caveats are rational, this all hurts Rick nonetheless. Plus Shane was almost like family to both of them before all of this, so, there's an extra element here of sadness and betrayal. I feel like Lori deserves to be heard at some point, I just think she should be understanding enough to know she can't pick when, because Rick is emotionally checked out after so much pain, and they have to find safety NOW and the baby is coming NOW. They need to be civil and collaborate if this wasn't a survival situation, would they just be separated? I don't know but it's definitely interesting to think about

Korivex

Yes, I totally agree that her anger was about Carl 'putting Shane down'.... but Rick didn't really understand because she didn't express herself. Also, he allowed himself to be vulnerable in telling her what he felt about Shane and she walked away instead of consoling him.

Korivex

lol, yes, people will have a lot to say about this. I don't think you are wrong in what you are saying, I just understand why Rick is behaving that way, even if it isn't the best way to go about it... to me, his attitude shows some weakness in his character and I have empathy for him.

Korivex

I agree with everything that you've said here... except on thing. Rick told Shane in the very first episode that every time he tried to open up to Lori that 'she acted like she didn't really want to hear it in the first place'. I think the communication problem lies with both of them. Everyone had a problem with the fact that Lori slept with Shane... that didn't bother me at all.... it was how she spoke to Rick, always angry, almost yelling, demanding instead of asking. We see it a lot in season 2.

Skyler

Been about 7 months since the farm! Carl, in terms of the show & actors age, around 12/13. In the comics he is 7/8, I think the audience collectivly claimed Carl to be more of a pre teen in the show. But Beth is still too old for him lol, she is 17 right now! Excited for you to experiences this season, you're gonna have a ball with it (also emotional turmoil lol)

Benjamin Lincoln

I agree with you about rick completely lol. im sorta shocked how many people are on the opposite side

Bro

Season 3 is so good! Can’t wait for episode 2 of season 3 alreadyyyy!!!!!

Sussie

Reading all the comments before watching and I just wanted to comment about the timeline because it's just something to keep in mind to accept. The show moves very slowly, like this is the first real time jump we do between seasons and that was like 7-8 months so the actors ages faster than their characters. The most noticable is of course Carl. So excited to jump into season 3. Think it's my favorite season.

Sussie

I think you have a point about Rick. For sure they had problems before due to their lack of communications and/or a lack of understanding what the other needs. Both of them are very stubborn and had come to a sort of halt in their marriage before. When they found each other after the Shane situation certainly didn't help, not to their fault, but he became an added issue between them and I think during these 7-8 months that issue has grown for Rick. I think Rick thinks that Lori blames him for Shanes death, he didn't get support from her and the fact Carl killed walker Shane is an added guilt (which is partly on Lori too because she was not looking after him as per usual)... I don't know how Lori feels about it but to me it felt like she blamed Rick when she backed away from Rick when he told her about killing Shane. Her reaction felt odd to me. So time has gone by and they have not talked about it, just going from day to day surviving. Which is a hardship both physically and mentally. No one are in their right minds. They're exhausted and on edge. I also think Rick at this time thinks a lot on the baby probably being Shanes. (And it's the baby who Daryl called little Shane) So yeah, I think Rick is trying to push away his emotional feelings and concentrate on the group to try and keep them all safe. That's something he feels he can do. But he also feels it's his responsibility and it's not a task he takes lightly. He cares about the group and truly wants to keep them ALL safe. But all this makes him push away Lori or don't want to talk about this now. I think I've said it before but as much as I love all these characters they are not without fault, that includes Lori and Rick. But they are human and they're doing the best they can. :) Carol and Daryl have the best friendship!

MamaBinTennessee

I would feel like absolutely gross not having a bath for that long. I'd have to find a creek somewhere. 😆

Sidney Prescott

I like how your one of the few people who put Rick in his place he was so extreme to Lori I get she did some bs but he is not flower either

AJ

Yes!! The prison arc is my favorite! So excited to finally be here 😌

Josh Evans

Ahh the start of the Prison arc or as I’ve always called it the start of the “RICK-tatorship” 😆😎

Lukas Booch

Carl was at the Start of the Show 12 Years old, in Season 3 he is 13, so understandable that he has a Crush on 16-17 year old Beth

Edward

I will be dismissive to if I knew my best friend child was in my wife belly

Gigi

I find Lori insufferable. I thought of her as a "survival hopper" who ever was gonna protect her the most ,Shane or Rick , that would be the one she would choose. She is a selfish person , at first I felt sort of sorry for her she thought her husband was dead , no , she would have still done this to Rick , in or out of the zombie world . She is very self centered, she is not a good mother lol I would know where my kids is at all times . Great ,great performance but Lori is a mess

Wolfy! Wolfi! Wolfé!

Thank you, Rick isn't perfect and he was being cold and harsh with Lori. I feel bad for her in this season.

Jared Roderick

But when Rick does open up and talk to Lori...she pushes him away and looks at him like he is the scum of the Earth...and this was after he found out about Lori and Shane and forgave both of them. You can only push someone so far before they shut down
