Season 4 - Analyzing the Comic-Con Trailer + Predictions (PART 1)

If you haven't seen the trailer for season four of The Walking Dead, I highly recommend watching it before reading any further!

"We just lost 12 of our own. Two were killed in cold blood."

They even tell us in the trailer how many people are going to die in season four, but there will probably be even more deaths then that.

AMC finally released an extended trailer for the upcoming season and we can make a lot of predictions just from watching this 4.5 minute video.  I've already watched it 18 times, so I have a lot of predictions and thoughts about season four.

Let's start with the raid on the "Big Spot" department store.  It looks like the prison group have gotten used to scavenging for food.  They even have their own formations and armor for protection. 

Analysis: One thing that bothered me was seeing Sasha give orders to others.  She's only alive because of Tyreese and I just can't imagine Daryl or Michonne taking orders from someone like that.  So I already don't like Sasha.  We also see the first appearance of new character Bob Stookey, and we see a lot of him throughout the trailer.  There's also some yelling and gunfire in the Big Spot, so maybe this new character won't be around for very long.

Next, we see the prison, which has transformed into a farm with crops and even animals.  I saw some pigs, which are probably used for meat.  The group also made a new gate and it looks like Rick took a page out of Morgan's book with the sharp wooden beams surrounding the entrance.  Later in the trailer, we also see some sharp weapons hanging on the fence, ready for action at any time.

Analysis: What's not to love about seeing Michonne on a horse?  I'm actually really impressed about the prison and how it looks in the trailer.  Looks like they're using the same tactics as last season when it comes to killing walkers on the outside.  But as we find out from Carol, the zombies are starting to come in bigger groups.  She says to Daryl, "It's manageable, but unless we get ahead of it, not for long."

The violence came very early on in comic book series, and it looks like a version of this violence will be coming to the television show.  Walkers are seen attacking cell block D, which looks like the home of many new people in the prison.  Rick says after the attack, "Somebody attacked the cell block." Tyreese notes at another point, "We've got to find who did this." Rick responds, "We're not going anywhere, we'll find them." Hershel: "We just lost 12 of our own. Two of them were killed in cold blood."

Analysis: Who could possibly be behind this? It could be the Governor because he's familiar with the prison and will be a season regular.  But based on quotes from other characters, specifically Hershel, I have a feeling that this attack came from within the prison.  Could it be one of the people from Woodbury, or could it be someone from the main cast?  Don't be surprised if it ends up being Carl who does this.  Think about it.  Carl was pissed about having all the new people move in because they won't be able to defend themselves.  Thus, he lures the walkers into the prison and eliminates the people in cell block D.

"You got to calm down."  A big part in the comic book series was the fight between Rick and Tyreese, and it looks like we got a little preview of that in the trailer. It looks like Tyreese had Daryl pinned against a wall and then started a fight with Rick.  But why did Tyreese start the fight?

Analysis: Tyreese won in the comic book series, but towards the end of the trailer, we see that his eye is swollen.  This leads me to believe that Rick will win the fight in the television series.  To answer the question of why he started the fight, we did see him looking down at something about halfway through the trailer.  He looked to be getting emotional, which makes me think that someone very close to him died, most likely Sasha, his sister. 

PART 2 IS ON THE WAY...

Comic Series - Volume 20: All Out War

For any of you that have been following The Walking Dead comic book series over the past year, you're probably almost as or maybe even more excited then I am about the recent announcement of the "All Out War" 12 issue story arc.

We already knew this was going to happen anyway.  But I have some cool "team" pictures showing the four different groups involved in the war.  I also found out by looking through the pictures that they're officially naming Rick's group "The Survivors."  There's also a new cover for the story arc, but the best thing about the new volume is that new issues are going to be released biweekly starting in October.

I'm excited because now we get twice The Walking Dead with the TV show also returning in October.  So without further ado, let's take a look at the first of five pictures I'm going to analyze.

So this is the cover for the new story arc.  I love the symbolism with the size of Negan's head because it shows how powerful he is and how the Survivors, Hilltop and Kingdom are getting ready to fight against these odds.  You have Michonne on the right with her sword, Rick in the center with his axe and Andrea on left with her sniper in hand.  Just as a side note, every time I see Andrea in the comic book series, I always think back to the TV series and how different it is from the comic book series.  Finally, we have Carl at the bottom, who's looking a lot like a teenager and getting close to being 16 or 17 (I'm just guessing, I don't really know).  Very cool cover!

So here's the first of four team posters that I'm going to go over.  We now have the first official label for Rick's group, the Survivors.  I like the name because of what they've been through, particularly Rick, Carl, Andrea and Michonne.  The logo also resembles Carl a lot (except for the skull) because you have the eye patch and the cowboy hat.  Very cool logo and poster!

Next is the poster for Negan's group, the Saviors.  I love the addition of the baseball bat and I think a vulture is a perfect animal to represent Negan.  Vultures prey on the weak, which is what Negan does with his threats of violence.

Next we have the Hilltop poster, which has great symbolism with the iron and the hammer.  I'm pretty sure it refers back to the blacksmith that's located in the colony and how the people use spears when they're on watch duty.  So I think this represents them pretty well.

Last, but certainly not least, we have the poster for the Kingdom. I do like the sword and tiger, but my favorite thing about the logo is how the whole thing is on one of those old school flags. Very cool logos for all four groups!

I think this is some of the most exciting events we've ever seen in the comic book series.  This upcoming war is nothing like the prison group against the Governor.  There are different circumstances, more groups involved and stronger leaders such as Negan.  The whole thing is way more complicated with a lot more groups and characters coming together.

I'm predicting that there will be a lot of characters deaths throughout the course of this war.  I could even see characters like Andrea, Michonne or even Eugene dying or somebody really important to the Survivors. 

Tell me what you guys think about the new story arc beginning in October.  Who will come out on top in this war? What characters will die? Let me know what you guys think in the comments below.

Comic Series - Top 5 Favorite Characters

A couple weeks ago, I did a post and listed my top 5 favorite characters from The Walking Dead television series.  So I thought, why not do the comic book series as well?  I don't know if I'll do one on the worst comic book characters, but we'll see.  So let's get started!

5. Andrea

I absolutely love in Andrea in the comic book series.  She's great with the sniper, takes guys down left and right and holds off people from attacking the group.  I loved when she brought a group back to the prison to help Rick's group against The Governor and survived the attack against Tomas, which is where she got the scar on her face.  You don't get to see a strong female character very often, so I think Andrea has to be in my top 5, at least for me anyway.

4. Sgt. Abraham Ford

Following the death of Tyreese, Abraham took the role as Rick's right hand man and did not disappoint with his awesome zombie kills and constant cursing.  He's a big guy, he's had to kill to survive and he protected Eugene and Rosita for a long time.  I thought it was really interesting at the time to have those three new characters come in after the prison and farm storyline.  Abraham has to be on my list.

3. Negan

Even though he's killed some characters, you have to admit that Negan is a great villain.  He's fun, he's funny, he has his rules, he's crazy and he's a big guy.  I love some his quirks like with Lucille, and having Carl sing was another great moment of his.  He's just a great villain and he has a lot qualities that make you like him, but you know he's not on Rick's side.  Even though you want to see Rick's side win, you can still like and appreciate how great of a character Negan is.  He also feels like he's not evil just for the sake of being evil like the Governor was.  Negan realizes people are more useful alive then dead.  But he wants to pin them down and make them work for him, almost like creating an empire in a zombie apocalypse. 

2. Carl Grimes

As time goes on, Carl becomes tougher and tougher, and it's safe to say that he's not a kid anymore, even though he technically still is.  I almost agree with Negan when he says, "Kid, you scare the hell out of me."  He attempted to kill Negan, he lost an eye and he killed Ben without any remorse.  I definitely appreciate Carl more in the comic book series then in the television series.  I'm excited to see what happens with him in the future and what he will become.

1. Rick Grimes

Everything that Rick has been through and the amount of suffering he's been through in the comic books has been way more then what Rick in the television series has been through.  It's awesome to see the comic book version of Rick still able to keep up hope and lead people through tough times.  I love Rick Grimes in the comic book series and he's my favorite character in The Walking Dead comic book series. 

The Walking Dead Issue 111 (Comic Book Series) Review

I apologize that this review is late.  I've been sick all of this week and didn't get a chance to read the new issue until last night.  As always, this review will contain spoilers, so for anyone who hasn't read the new issue yet, you may not want to keep reading this.

So based on the cover of this issue, we knew we would see at least one character death.  However, there are instances where you have a cover which may not exactly depict what is going to happen in the issue.  That was not the case in this issue.  I was going back and forth between Dwight and Rick for who Negan would kill.  I never once thought that it would be Spencer.

I never thought that Negan would go to Alexandria to get supplies while Rick was out with the others at the Kingdom getting ready to attack. That's a pretty interesting angle and completely different from what I thought was going to happen.  It's also a very interesting way of introducing the upcoming war between Rick's group and Negan's group.

So we start off with Carl trying to sneak off during the night to play with Ezekiel's tiger, but he gets caught by Rick.  That was a pretty funny moment and Rick then tells Carl that he can play with it tomorrow.  Next was a quick, little scene with Michonne where she takes her sword and actually sleeps with it next to her.

Then we have Jesus arguing with Gregory at the Hilltop and gathering his troops to head over to the Kingdom.  Gregory isn't really in on this war, so he's more likely to stay out of the whole situation.  So Jesus has about twenty men, Ezekiel has about forty people and Rick has his small group of tough fighters.  They also have Dwight on their side, but either way, this war is definitely going to be a blood bath, especially since Rick's group doesn't know that Negan is at Alexandria.  Then we see Andrea putting together a group of snipers and Michonne doing a little sword training with Ezekiel and his men. 

The rest of the issue is basically Negan showing up at Alexandria, banging on the gate and eventually being let in.  We have Spencer wanting to talk to Negan and being all polite with his shirt tucked into his jeans and all that good stuff.  I really liked the ending to the issue because at first, I thought Spencer knew what Rick was up to and was going to tell Negan everything.  But then Spencer actually wanted Negan to kill Rick and then Negan says,

"You wanted to take over... why not just kill Rick and take the f--k over? You know why? BECAUSE YOU GOT NO GUTS."

Then he just takes his knife and cuts Spencer's stomach open and all of his guts spill everywhere.  Negan's next lines are why he is the greatest villain in The Walking Dead by far.  He said,

"Oh, how embarrassing!  They were inside you the whole time.  You did have guts.  I've never been so wrong before in my life!  Clean this up before a kid sees it... and find out where this a--h--- lived.  I want to play some pool."

That's Negan in a nutshell.

Overall, I really enjoyed this issue a lot.  I think it's interesting to see Negan in Alexandria and I never thought that Spencer would be the one to die in this issue.  As always, I'm really excited to see what happens next and how the whole Negan situation will resolve itself.  I think we will see a ton of deaths on both sides in the upcoming war and I think it could last anywhere from 10-20 issues, so we should see a lot more Negan.  Now who doesn't love that?

Season 4 - Carl's Evolution

Out of every character in The Walking Dead television and comic book series, it's safe to say that Carl Grimes has been the character that has evolved the most since the beginning.  He went from a defenseless little boy that couldn't shoot or protect himself to a cold-blooded killer. 

Surprisingly, Carl actually has a nice list of kills.  He indirectly killed Dale because he didn't tell anybody about the walker that he saw in the woods and he basically got the zombie free of the mud.  He put down the zombified Shane in one of the best scenes in all of season two when Rick thought Carl was pointing the gun at him, but he was actually saving his father.  The he had to kill his own mother, Lori, before reanimation.  Any character that has to put down their own mother can go through anything, whereas most people would struggle with that. 

Lastly, he killed Jody, that kid from Woodbury at the end of season three.  Even Hershel wasn't that cold enough to be able to put that kid down.  But I think that kid did have busy eyes, meaning that he was putting his gun down but he was looking around to maybe get a shot off or something of that nature.  Afterwards, I think Hershel makes it sound like to Rick that Carl did the wrong thing.  But I think Carl did the right thing in that situation and he did what he had to do, as he would say.

I think Carl has figured out the rules of the zombie apocalypse where other characters like Hershel have not quite figured it out yet.  There is a line between being kind to others and having no choice but to kill. 

The question that I've heard the most about Carl is who does he resemble more: Rick or Shane?  I would have to say that he behaves more like Shane, although Rick can definitely put characters down if they need to be put down like Dave and Tony at the bar in season two.  However, Carl seems to have less trouble pulling the trigger, which may be a conflict between him and Rick because Rick can be too kind at times. 

In terms of what I expect to see in season four, I would tend to think that Carl will be just like his comic book counterpart and become even more ruthless, start arguing with Rick a lot and start speaking his mind on important manners.  I think he will be one of the most interesting characters to watch in the future. 

In addition, Carl will be growing up a lot faster in the television series then in the comic books because in every season of The Walking Dead, Chandler Riggs grows another year older.  He's 13 right now, so if The Walking Dead goes to a season seven or eight, Chandler Riggs would 17 or 18 years old.  That would be pretty weird to see, but I think he would make for a really good main protagonist at that point if the show does reach that many seasons. 

Carl is finally starting to come into his own and not be that annoying, bratty kid from the first two season that made a bunch of stupid mistakes.  I can't wait to see the arguments he has with Rick next season and how they don't see eye to eye on anything anymore.   

Season 4 - Plot Predictions

Now that Rick and the prison group have added on all these extra survivors from the Woodbury community, their group has become really big. 

A sense of community is going to be key, but a big problem they are going to run into is the amount of resources to feed, house and dress all of those people.  During a zombie apocalypse, a lot of those elderly people can't really carry their own weight.  Sure, they may be helpful in doing jobs inside the prison.  But do you really expect them to go on supply runs or go out and kill zombies outside the prison?  It's going to be interesting to see where a lot of those people have a place in the group.

It's safe to say Rick is still the leader of the group, but it's supposed to be a democracy.  I think we'll see that storyline come back in season four with Rick and Tyreese possibly budding heads because Rick is the leader of his own group and Tyreese feels responsible for the people of Woodbury due to the Governor leaving and what he did.  I would love to see a fist fight between Rick and Tyreese like in the comic books.

This whole prison situation is basically a new Alexandria Safe-Zone from the comic books.  Instead of Rick leading his own group and joining and eventually taking over the whole place, Rick in the television series has a similar size group.  I think we could possibly see some storylines from the most recent comic books being used in season four because Rick has a whole community to look after.

There are more surviving groups out there and I think we'll start to see a lot more survivors from outside the prison.  The zombies will definitely be a threat, but at the same time, we'll probably start seeing a lot more groups that we don't know anything about.  I think the Governor will join up with a group and have another group, possibly Abraham and his group from the comic books, debut in the television series and join the fray.

Since a lot more characters are in the show now, there is going to be so much more happening at once in the same season.  I think you could do the "Thomas" storyline from the comic book series and have someone from Woodbury start killing people within the prison and have Rick and Tyreese try and find out who it is.

We know for sure that the Governor is not finished with Rick's group, so he'll be back with Martinez and Shumpert.  The Governor is going to be adding people to his group to become a threat once again to Rick's group and he'll probably attack the prison multiple times in season four.  I do not have the Governor making it out of season four because there are 16 episodes, so most of the later episodes could be used to build up the Governor's death.  I think he'll pick off a few people from Rick's group like Hershel, Beth or maybe Carol. 

Also, I don't think the Governor is going to be the only villain in season four because we've already had a full season with the Governor as the main antagonist.  Obviously, it will be fun to see him come back, but again, 16 episodes is a lot and I don't think the Governor storyline we'll be able to stretch out for the entire season by himself.  It would be smart to add another main villain or another group that Rick's group doesn't get along with.

The beginning of season four will basically be Rick's group going out on supply runs because due to the time skip, they're going to be out of food by the start of spring, so they're going to have to find stuff quickly because you have all of those people to feed and finding supplies quickly is going to become more important over time.

As you saw in the season finale, Carl is starting to disagree more and more with Rick, blaming him for him mom's death and for other characters as well.  I think Carl is going to become much colder and he'll get stuff done if it needs to be done.  His character is going to be interesting to watch.  I think you also need to have characters like Michonne and Daryl to go out and get food and supplies and things of that nature.  Plus, they have the best weapons ever with the sword and the crossbow.

So just to recap possible storylines for season four: Rick and Tyreese budding heads, possible Alexandria storylines, the Governor joining up with another group, Thomas storyline from comic books, the addition of another villain or villainous group, Carl and Rick beginning to grow apart

So it's going to be fun to see how season four plays out and I think it will be way better then season three, and just the thought of that makes me excited for this fall.  Plus, it is a little more then a week away before season four filming begins in Atlanta.  I can't wait, I know you guys can't either!

Season 4 Death Predictions

It's never too early to predict deaths for season four of The Walking Dead, even if it is six months away. 

One of the most fun things about The Walking Dead is predicting who is going to die next.  I'm going to give my thoughts on who is going to survive this season and who is going to die. 

Right off the bat, I think its almost a lock that the Governor will die next season.  It's getting to the point where some viewers are getting tired of seeing him on the show and just want him dead.  After what he did in the season three finale, I definitely want to see him die as well.  I think Daryl, Rick or Karen, the one who hid behind the dead body, are all candidates for who kills the Governor. 

I thought we would see the Governor's death in the season three finale, but I think keeping him alive isn't so bad either.  I think we'll get to see more villains in season four and maybe introduce some new characters because the season is 16 episodes, so they have a lot of room for character development.  I also think we'll see multiple storylines with Rick's group along with the storyline of the Governor, Martinez and Shumpert.  I think all three of them will die, along with whoever else the Governor adds to his group. 

Now, onto Rick's group.  I think Rick and Carl obviously has to live at this point, and I will be doing a future post on Carl's character for next season and whether he'll kill any more innocent people like he did in the finale.  You could injure Carl like he is in the comic books, but I don't think he needs to die.

I'm surprised Carol is still alive at this point and I think she has to die at some point in season four.  Beth, on the other hand, might be filling the role of Sophia in the comic books because Sophia is still alive in the comic book series.  She could be a potential character for Carl to have as a friend, so I could understand if she is still alive by the end of this season.  Although, I'm of the mindset that she will die this upcoming season as well.

If Daryl dies, we riot. End of story.

Karen, a new character from Woodbury, could die, but it would be nice if she killed the Governor after what she saw him do to all those people in the finale.  Tyreese could be killed, but he just joined up with Rick's group, so I think he'll survive at least for this season and die possibly in season five because we haven't really gotten to know him yet.

I think Hershel is filling in the role of  Dale in the comic book series, so I think he could die, but I think he'll stick around until season five or six.  I think Glenn and Maggie are safe, although I think the lovey-dovey scenes between them are starting to get annoying for me anyway.  I guess you kind of have to have those scenes to offset all the action and the drama, but its getting annoying and I wouldn't rule out the possibility of either one of them dying this season.

I don't know if Morgan is going to return to the group this season.  I could see him not returning at all or possibly seeing the Governor run into him, which would be very interesting.  But I don't think we'll see Morgan return this season, although it would be great of they did it.  I think Michonne has to live, no question about it.  I think Sasha, who is Tyreese's sister, is guaranteed to die at some point in season four.  All the people that came from Woodbury are basically goners when next season comes around. 

So my list of people dying in season four goes like this: the Governor, Martinez, Shumpert, Carol, Beth, Sasha and the rest of elderly and children that came from Woodbury are goners.  I don't think they should kill too many characters because then there wouldn't be enough people for character development and all that stuff.  I think we could be introduced to Abraham, another comic book series character, later in season four.

I'll probably be coming out with a thorough review of season three probably later today or tomorrow, and same goes for my post on Carl's character development for next season.  Don't go away zombiephiles.

S3E16 "Welcome to the Tombs" Review

Last night, season three of The Walking Dead came to an end.  There was blood, there was guts and there was heartbreak, literally.  After the finale, I realized that I have to wait half of a year to see season four. 

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! DON'T PROCEED IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FINALE!

Overall, my reaction to the episode was, "I did not see that coming."  I thought there was going to be a much higher body count among the main cast, and Rick was going to leave the prison.  But in the end, Rick and Co. not only remained at the prison, but they welcomed some new neighbors as well.  Meanwhile, Woodbury has become a ghost town. 

We began with the Andrea and the Governor, with the Governor torturing both Andrea and Milton.  Poor Milton finally got on the Governor's bad side when he burned the pit walkers, and has to pay the price.  Milton's no wimp, but he isn't really a violent person.  He's not Glenn, who can take a beating and get back up.  When Milton is beaten, he stays beaten.

Regarding the situation with Andrea, even I could pick up a pair of pliers faster than she did.  Literally.  If a dying man who is going to eat you tells you to hurry up, then stop yapping and hurry the hell up.

So this is how most thought the episode would go: The Governor attacks the prison to find out that Rick and Co. are gone.  They destroy the prison then find and kill characters like Hershel, Carol and Beth.  But we were dead wrong.  Instead, our heroes cleverly laid down a trap for the Governor and his army.  It was funny to see the people of Woodbury running for their lives.

Enter Dark Carl: give him half a reason and he kills his own mother, so that poor Woodbury kid didn't stand a chance.  I think Carl's philosophy of "better safe then undead" has kept him alive against all odds, so he's doing something right.

Boy, was this a surprise?  When the Governor kills his entire army but Martinez and my man Bowman, it was definitely shocking.  I think this certainly made it easier for Rick and Co. to safely move back into the prison and for the people of Woodbury to join them.  It also got rid of a whole bunch of Woodbury people who were not relevant to the series whatsoever.  By the way, props to Karen for pulling a Carol and hiding behind a dead body to prevent being killed.  In all seriousness, she tells Rick and Tyreese the whole story so everybody can join hands now, right? 

Surprsingly... yes.  But not before the Governor's previous work comes back to haunt them once more.  Andrea fought valiantly (and slowly) for the pliers to free herself and kill Milton before he could kill her.  While she managed to put him down, he still got a big chomp out of her neck.  And that was how Rick, Daryl, Tyreese and Michonne found her.

Now that Andrea has died, let's take a look back on her sometimes irritating plot this season.  It was Andrea who made the wrong decision when Michonne wanted to leave Woodbury, Andrea didn't capitalize on three occasions to kill the Governor, and Andrea who didn't save herself by just going back to the prison when the opportunity presented itself.  But in the end, she was completely redeemed by her own words, "I didn't want anyone to die."  She didn't want her friends to die, the people of Woodbury, Michonne, and even the Governor for awhile.  That may not be the same Andrea as the comic books.  But she is still brave, noble, and she gave her life working for a better world.

Despite the shocking death of Andrea and half the population of Woodbury, things ended on a high note this season.  The prison wasn't abandoned as most predicted, and only two relevant characters died.  It wasn't the explosively shocking season finale we expected, nor was it the season finale to leave us in suspense all summer long.  But after this season, it's almost a relief to have things end the way they did. 

Some questions to answer for next season: Where have the Governor, Martinez and Bowman gone?  Will they return to attack the prison in season four?  Will Tyreese and the other Woodbury refugees adjust to prison life or will they be at odds with Rick's group?  Will we see a softer side of Rick next season?  Will Morgan join the prison group? Who will Carl kill next? We've got half a year to ponder over these questions, fellow zombiephiles.

S3E16 "Welcome to the Tombs" Predictions

Oh, how a week goes so fast in anticipation for the The Walking Dead Season 3 Finale.  As D-Generation X used to say, "Are you ready?!?!?"

I am, and so are millions of other Walking Dead fans around the world, so here are my predictions for the Season 3 finale, Welcome to the Tombs.

By the way, just because Season 3 is ending doesn't mean that I'm shutting down The Walking Shin Report.  I'll be posting about any information, casting and much more on Season 4, and I'll be posting my reviews on the comic series as well.

***SPOILER ALERT!!! IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN SEASON 3, I DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO SPOILS THE EVENTS FOR YOU***

Sneak Peek #1:

Sneak Peak #2:

Promo:

Alright, so the conclusion of Season 3 is upon us.  Season 3 has been great so far, and I'd say it's been better than Season 2.  Last episode, titled "This Sorrowful Life" was one of the best episodes of the entire season.  After the scenes of last episode, everyone knows that there is not going to be peace between Rick and The Governor.

The Governor took what happened to his group as an attack against him and Woodbury from Rick and the group, even though not all of them were there.  Obviously, The Governor has revenge on his mind.  I think The Governor believes that if he kills Ricks' group, then Andrea, who is still trapped in that dentist chair, will have no choice but to stay with The Governor.  Obviously, The Governor wants Michonne as well for her killing his daughter and wanted Merle for not capturing Michonne and "betraying" Woodbury.  In addition, The Governor really doesn't like Rick either because he's the leader of another group, and The Governor wants to be the head honcho, so to speak.

So let's start with the promo.  We finally see Andrea for the first time since she was captured by The Governor, and she has a big gash on on her head.  That just goes to show how brutal The Governor has gotten over the course of Season 3.  The next part is The Governor punches somebody, and I think its probably Milton, as he and The Governor's relationship as turned a bit sour in recent episodes. 

So the next part shows Michonne pissed off at Rick and doesn't really trust him.  I think she is a part of the group but she's still mad at the fact that Rick considered handing her over to The Governor.  Knowing Rick's character, I wouldn't think he'd even consider handing her over, at least my view on that.  It looks like Carl and Beth are packing up the cars as well, which makes me believe that they are indeed leaving the prison.  Martinez then shoots one of the towers down at the prison to end the promo. 

In the first sneak peek, we have Carl is packing and looking at family pictures.  There isn't much to say other then that the prison group is packing, leaving or doing something as it looks.  I think they're leaving completely, but there could be a possibility that they go back to the farm. 

The second sneak peek is where the action really begins.  You have the Governor's group, which includes 20-30 people, attacking the prison and all armed to the teeth.  The you have Allen opening up the doors to the tombs and the sneak peek ends there.  I'm thinking there's something behind that door, but I'm not positive on what it could be.  I'm thinking it's a ton of walkers, but there's a good chance I could be wrong. 

So as far as deaths go, I think it's safe to say that a good majority of The Governor's army will die tonight.  As far as relevant characters, I think Milton, Martinez, Allen and, of course, The Governor will bite the dust on Team Woodbury.  I think Hershel, Beth and Judith will die on Team Prison, and if I'm right, I'd like to apologize to Maggie and how she will feel if they do indeed die.  This leaves Rick, Carl, Daryl, Carol, Glenn, Maggie, Michonne, Andrea, Tyreese and Sasha surviving tonight's season finale.  Also, I'm of the mindset that Morgan Jones will return tonight in some capacity.  Whether Rick goes to where Morgan is or Morgan goes to the prison, although I doubt he know where it is located, I believe Morgan will return tonight somehow.

I can't wait to see the epic conclusion of Season 3.  Get your popcorn ready, because it's going to be one hell of an episode.  I'll have my review out tomorrow and I'll probably end up doing a review on the entire season and give you my thoughts on it.  Enjoy the episode, everyone!
