Back on July 19, season four show runner Scott Gimple informed "The Walking Dead" fans that we will be seeing Morgan Jones again in the upcoming season. What role he will play or how the characters will come across him is unknown.
The actor that plays Morgan, Lennie James, will actually be in a new AMC series called "Low Winter Sun" (which I may check out, but I don't know yet). James is a tremendous actor and I love his role in television series much more then the comic book series. In the comics, Morgan feels like a crazy guy and personally, I really didn't care for him as a character. He was one of those characters that was just there and didn't really do much.
Again, the acting of Lennie James is why we care about Morgan so much in the television series. You can see James' emotion when he tries to kills his wife in the very first episode. In "Clear", you can see that he's crazy, but he also that has that emotional connection with Rick when he says , "I know you."
I expect to see Morgan the exact same way we came across him in season three. Rick could go to him for help or if the group splits up and has to leave the prison, he could go to Morgan and see if his group can stay there for a while.
Whatever way we see him, I'm very excited to hear he's coming back because his performances have been short but definitely sweet. If Lennie James doesn't put in that emotion we expect from him, then the character of Morgan is completely different and more like the comic book version of him. Because we hear the story about his wife and son combined with the acting of James, we feel a special connection with him.
He's an interesting character and I can't wait to see what his role will be in season four and who will run into him. Will it be Daryl, Tyreese, Michonne and Bob? We do see them separated from the rest of their group, so there's a possibility that they could run into Morgan. Or maybe Rick could go back to Morgan and ask him for help against either the walkers or even the Governor.
Tell me what you think about Morgan's return in season four. When will we see him? What events will take place in order for us to see him? Who will run into him? Let me know what you guys think in the comments below.

TV Series - Top 5 Favorite Characters
With season four slowly approaching (which feels like an eternity), I've decided to count down my top five favorite/greatest characters from The Walking Dead television series. I'll probably do my top five characters from the comic book series later. For those of you that do read the comics, there are a lot of characters in the comics, so I'll have an even tougher time picking my favorites from the comic book series. Without further ado, here are my top five favorite characters from the television series:
Honorable Mention: Morgan Jones
I know he's only been in two episodes, but I think his performance in "Clear" is the only reason I have him as an honorable mention. I think that was one of the best episodes of season three mainly because we get to see what has happened with him since the first episode of The Walking Dead. A lot of fans were hoping that he would return in the season three finale, but that didn't happen unfortunately. He may not be on that much, but when he is, the episode is always fantastic.
#5 - Glenn Rhee
The last remaining survivor from the Atlanta camp, Glenn has been one of my favorite characters over the past three seasons. He saved Rick from Atlanta and was the group's main supply runner. He began a relationship with Maggie in season two and I guess you can say they are married since Glenn gave her that ring in "This Sorrowful Life." Not only does Glenn show compassion and humanity, but he is one tough guy. When he and Maggie were captured and interrogated by the Governor, he survived a beating from Merle and a walker attack while tied to a chair. That brought out his resourcefulness and quick-thinking, which is why Glenn is one of my favorite characters.
#4 - Philip Blake a.k.a. "The Governor"
As much as I absolutely hate the Governor, you have to admit that he is a great villain. If you don't have the Joker, you don't really have Batman. What I mean by that is that you can have Batman, but you don't really have Batman unless you have someone like the Joker. If you're watching a Batman movie without the Joker, something is definitely missing. The Governor is that "Joker" and main villain. Sure, you have all the zombies, but again, you're missing that main villain that always stirs up trouble. I think the Governor has been handled really well and he definitely has to be on my list.
#3 - Merle Dixon
I think Merle was absolutely fantastic and one of my favorite characters in season three. He was responsible for some of the best moments of the entire season like taking out eight of the Governor's men in "This Sorrowful Life." It's too bad that he died because he really is an interesting character. He does what needs to be done, has no class whatsoever and teeters on the brink of a hero and a villain. I think he definitely went out as a hero in "This Sorrowful Life" when he took out all of those men and drew all of those zombies to where the Governor was.
#2 Rick Grimes
Andrew Lincoln is a phenomenal actor and there is no else better suited to playing Rick then him. I liked all of the struggle in season three over Lori's death and how he got over Lori in the second half of season three. Personally, I think Rick is more of a badass in the television series then in the comic book series, using grenades very well and being a great shot. One of the best scenes of season two was when Rick killed Dave and Tony in that bar, and another memorable scene was seeing Rick kill all those zombies in the prison following Lori's death. He's the main character of the series, and rightfully so because he is absolutely fantastic.
#1 Daryl Dixon
Rick may be the main character, but I think people watch The Walking Dead solely to see Daryl Dixon in action with his signature crossbow. I never want to see Daryl killed off because he is such a fan favorite, a great survivor and an interesting character in general. Norman Reedus did an outstanding job in season three, especially when he has to kill Merle after seeing him as a zombie. I loved when he just took the crossbow from Shumpert after Rick and Maggie came back to save him and Merle. In addition, Daryl probably had the best zombie kill in the history of the television series. Remember this?
Probably the best zombie kill I've ever seen in my life. I also love when Daryl stands up to Merle about Glenn he tells him, "He's Korean." That was one of my favorite lines of the entire season by far.
So just to recap, my favorite characters from The Walking Dead television series, in order, are Glenn, the Governor, Merle, Rick and Daryl. Let me know what you guys think and answer the poll above and tell me who your favorite character is. If you answer "Someone else", let me know who your favorite character is in the comments below.

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" 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!
