    Yeah it is. It was originally going to be 13 but they extended it.

      Mmmm nope. When it was renewed in late October last year they didn't specify the episode count. They clarified in January that it was going to be 16. It was never said that S3 was going to be 13.

        Well glad to hear I was wrong about that. Bring it on!

        Its nice to know they aren't afraid to buck the trend and have longer seasons than usual for a cable network.

          Boom! This shows back with a bang!
          Great opener. and is it me or is this show getting more and more gorey?
          Spoiler:
          I was eating my lunch while watching... Especially Hershels amputation at the end...
          Also, nice to see new characters, and tougher to kill zombies
          Theyve finally found silencers! =) After 2 seasons...
          Also, really nice to see all of the characters developing, especially Rick, grabbing that axe and chopping off Hershels leg without a second glance, was nice though that before the final blow, he stopped as if he realised what he was doing...


          Really looking forward to the rest of this season!

                          Yes, there is more to it in the comics than the quick clean up Rick did in the ep.

                          Spoiler:
                          They discover 4 like they did in the show. (well the ep had 5) One turned out to be a complete psycho. And two others were trouble makers just like presented in the show. They were dealt with similarly but after some time had passed and other events taken place. And then had the remaining one befriend the group while at the prison.
                          IMO always implied.

                            So it seems they shortened that storyline, by killing 3/5 of them, unless the other 2 will come back to haunt Rick...
                            But, gives us more time for the Governor storyline...

                              True. I'd rather not get bogged down with them as they essentially got what they needed to add to the story in that ep....
                              Spoiler:
                              Rick killing both of them like he did because he was not going to give up the prison.
                              They big thing in the comics was
                              Spoiler:
                              Rick's confrontation with the leader of the prisoners. Animosity between the two continued to build until a showdown of guns where the prisoner tried to force them out of the prison. This was interrupted by walkers getting loose where they were. In the chaos, Rick made the decision to shoot and kill the guy...claiming it was an "accident".

                              The psycho guy doesn't really have a place in the show because in the comics there were people in the group that are not in the show so his storyline is unimportant in the show.

                              I don't think the remaining two in the show will be a problem.

                              And yes, I'd much rather focus on the Governor.
