Another good, tense episode. For the second week running the action has occurred largely away from the prison and has benefited from it.

I enjoyed the fleshing out of Rodriguez in his brief 'Henchmen Anonymous' meeting with Daryl, and liked the interplay between Herschel and Milton as well. The Governor also got some much needed fleshing out as Andrea continues to be an idiot and Glen braves the doubtlessly stinky prospect of post apocalyptic sex.

Yeah I enjoyed the way they showed that Rodriguez is just another guy trying to survive who lost family and if the circumstances were different and he met Rick's group first he could have easily be one of them instead.
I still think that Milton is a wanker though.

Milton to the rescue for sure.

There's no way Rick can give up Michonne. No one else will agree with it and they are risking the whole fanbase hating the main character, or the whole cast if they do go through with it.
Milton and Andrea will come up with something, no way will either of them stand for killing the prison group. It's doubtful Martinez will either. I'm guessing they'll convince some of the others and betray the Governor, and the Governor and his army will launch an all out attack and try and kill all of them.
Anyway, Rick can't trust this man's word, he's someone who just said he will kill Rick's son and daughter if he doesn't give up Michonne to be tortured and killed. Plus Andrea and Michonne have been lied to and betrayed by this man before.

Any chance Michonne later overhears Rick talking about the Governor's ultimatum and goes off as a sacrifice rather than forcing Rick to choose between her life and that of his friends and family?

I think Merle and Michonne will forge an uneasy alliance and take matters into their own hands. I cant see it going smoothly though and some of, if not all of the events in the comics regarding the Gov and Michonne will take place. Depends on how much of a risk the writers want to take I guess

I could see that happening, the only thing stopping it in my opinion is that there's only three episodes left. And I'm guessing ep 16 will be the Governor's attack on the prison.

I think it's clear Rick won't go through with the sacrifice. If he does I can't see Michonne going back to Rick's group afterwards and she needs to be in season 4 in my opinion. After the prison she's pretty much Rick's closest comic ally.

I have a hunch how Season3 will end, but I don't think I have the ability to word it; yet alone give away a massive comic book spoiler for those yet to read it.

I heard the governor talking in the last ep about his wife dying and being told mr Blake we did all we could etc

So his name is Phillip Blake ( not to be confused with phil Blake). I googled Phillip Blake and got lots of stuff from the comics eg his whole story, what happened with his brother, what he does to micchone etc.

It seems to me the tv show is a pretty radical departure from the comics. There are lots of characters on the comics that haven't appeared on tv and lots of sub plots that the tv show doesn't go into.

Game of thrones is very similar in this regard.

Just on the last ep when characters declare their love for one another I usually brace for a shot to ring out and a head to get blown off. Think the loading dock

I wonder if they'll have the stones to
have Judith cop a stray bullet
or they'll continue their divergence from the comic.

Maybe Beth or Maggie or Carol could be carrying her and both be shot, like Lori and Judith in the comics. I can see at least one of those three girls dying. I don't expect Andrea to live out the season either, or maybe it's just hope. I'm sick of her overdramatic head-bobbing.

I'd hate for it to be Beth, as I think she's the sole innocent character left aside from Judith. I wouldn't object to it being Carol or Andrea, though. Or they could go down a really dark path and have it be Maggie. That'd send Glen off the deep end

Well her, the younger blonde chick and carol ain't been getting much screen time lately

In a few of the scenes they still had Carols grave in the background. She contributes bugger all, but i suppose they needed a mother type in the group.

Well, I'm thinking only Rick, Carl, Michonne and Daryl are certainties to survive at this point. Glenn and Maggie's main role after this is looking after Sophia, and that's clearly not going to happen. So I'm not expecting it but either can die at this point.
I don't expect Merle or the Governor to live, nor do I expect Hershel or Carol. Hershel's my favourite character and I think he has a big role in the group but he's not main cast and he dies at this point in the comics, as does Carol.
Andrea is a maybe. She does quite a bit after this in the comics but it's not the same Andrea. I don't see what else she can add as a character. I hope she dies and a new female lead is introduced.
I expect at least 3 of the main cast to die. Beth, Judith, Milton, Martinez, Tyreese and co., their fates are all up in the air.
From a personal viewpoint I'd rather a group of Rick, Carl, Glenn, Maggie, Daryl, Michonne, Tyreese, Hershel and Morgan to survive, with perhaps Merle or Beth as well. I also want to see Hershel do Dale's 'tainted meat!' scene.

Ive been reading the comics over the weekend and Ive gotta say the show takes quite a departure from them story and character wise.

Its almost completely different

Massive spoiler, seems to be a screenshot from S03E15.

Might be a fake, but might not.
