These past two episodes have been amazing. I have no doubt that this next episode will be a good one too. Sunday can't get here fast enough.

I'm a couple of episodes behind but this season has been awesome, now that Chuck has ended it might just be my favorite show

SEASON 3 PLOT/CASTING NEWS IN SPOILER TAG

Spoiler:

David Morrissey cast as The Governor

AMC has announced that British actor David Morrissey is to play the role of the The Governor in the third season of The Walking Dead. Morrissey is best known for his starring role in the original U.K. TV version of State of Play. His many other credits include the Red Riding trilogy, Centurion, Doctor Who, and The Deal, in which he played future British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

The Governor is the most famous villain to have appeared in the Walking Dead comic and fans have long speculated who might play the role. Rumored possible candidates included Eastbound & Down star John Hawkes while special effects legend Tom Savini had actively campaigned for the role, in part because of his resemblance to the character.

The third season of the Walking Dead will comprise 16 episodes and starts production in Atlanta this spring.

Well that was a choice that no one saw coming, but I think it might work. I've seen him in lots of stuff here in the UK and David Morrissey is a very good actor.

[DigiFluid]

I think it's a very odd choice, personally. He doesn't look the part at all, and I don't think I've ever seen anything that would make me think he'd fit the role.

That said, the casting to this point has been absolutely on the nose, so I'm completely prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt and just wait to see how it works out.

[the fifth man]

Definitely an interesting casting choice. Hopefully he can fill those shoes.

I liked David Morrisey in the next doctor, while it wasnt my favorite doctor who special his acting was pretty good, hopefully he will be good in s3

Presumably they were interested more in someone who could act, rather than if they happened to look a bit like the character from the comic, and David Morissey is a far better actor than Danny Trejo.

[the fifth man]

I will give those in charge the benefit of the doubt. They haven't let me down thus far. If they think Mr. Morissey can play the Governor, I will trust in that.

I have seen Danny's performance in Sons Of Anarchy, very good and convincing. He may have no prior education in acting but for me he has an natural ability for this.

[The Flyattractor]

Danny T is a great choice.
He can do serious and silly.
