Yeah, don't keep up with this stuff if you don't want those kind of spoilers. They've released production photos of characters in the past few weeks too. :-/

The Autumn Wind
Comic Spoilers:
Dale gets bit on the leg and they chop it off to stop the infection from spreading.
Not sure if it will come up in the show. It'd be hard to pull off.

That's what happens in the comics, but Kirkman has said before that he thinks that it was one of the worst decisions he made.
Haven't watched Talking Dead yet though, so not sure what Kirkman said.

I had to turn on some adaptive luma settings and adjust the contrast. Now this b&w looks pretty badass. Darabont likes his black and white, The mist had it too.

Badass indeed. I never liked the decision to do the show in color.

Why does he think that?

Comic spoilers.
That doesn't happen exactly like that, he gets a limb cut off but not because he was bitten. And yeah, Kirkman said he hated it because it made Rick unable to do loads of simple tasks like reloading his gun.
IIRC, its a pain in the ass to always structure everything around Rick missing a hand. Cant have Rick do such and such.
Oh, I have a great idea! Wait....Rick doesn't have a hand so I can't do that. etc etc etc.
I think he looks back on it as a very cool thing for the moment, but it significantly changed what he can and can't do.

I don't really agree with him, the awesomeness of that far outweighs his personal negatives.

Fuck I knew I was right.
Alright, so knowing that.. Do I still have a lot of surprises to look forward to? Or should my hype be drastically reduced because I know the big plot twist already?

I couldn't find the original interview that I read it in, but this is from another one, "Constantly, we're up against things in the comics where it would be awesome if Rick could... oh, Rick can't do that, he only has one hand. That is something that I regret, but I wouldn't put it past us. I'm not ruling anything out."

Don't get me wrong, it's fucking awesome and one of my favorite things about the series, but I can totally see where Kirkman's coming from.
I wouldn't call that a big plot twist for one, there is tons of shit that happens, kind of like Game of Thrones.
Also if you are that worried about spoilers reducing your hype then for the love of God stop watching freaking 1 hour Talking Dead sneak peeks of Season 3 or trailers. I really just do not get why people do this to themselves.
"Oh I don't want to know anything at all about this show or movie before watching it."
coming up next, a full hour special blowing out the sequel/next season of your favorite show with behind the scenes sneak peeks and interviews with creators!
"Yes I absolutely must watch that and then jump on the nearest forum thread talking about this show. I am positive I will not get spoiled about anything"

It's funny because I'll often forget about it reading through issues at a time.
Badass Walking Dead Season 3 clip for those who missed it (spoilers, duh)
So I watched all of season 2 during this marathon thing they had going since I was bored and the weekends never have anything on TV. I kind of like it overall, not as much as the Telltale games (at least so far). I truly hate Rick though as he is an awful main character and a huge waste and danger as a leader. I didn't agree with shane as he started to get crazy but when it came to the tough decisions I almost always agreed with him as it was the practical and logical way to do things. Stop putting the group in danger for sentimental shit or to look for 1 person. It was frustrating to see Rick always winning those battles and then
was infuriatingly frustrating.
Solid show overall for the most part. Most of the characters I like seem to be dying fast though.
seeing him kill Shane eventually, which I guess wasn't a total shock given how fast things were deteriorating between them

They said "behind the scene interviews and a sneak peak at season 3". Behind the scenes aren't spoilers. They don't spoil huge ass plot twists.

Merle coming back
In regards to Rick, they set it up pretty clearly that hes changed, and will be very different from now on.
Much closer to comic book Rick...or the same really, even if he took a different road to get there.

Rick was useless in the first part of season 2 but it looks like he's starting to become more hardened as the show goes on, especially after killing Shane.
He's my favourite character out of the comic, and they seem to be doing him justice so far. If only I could say the same about Andrea.
I don't think it's really that big of a deal. The fact they're revealing this months ahead of time kinda points to it not being a "huge ass plot twist" and just something that happens early on in the season.
AMC released a promotional photo of it, they've mentioned it on The Talking Dead tonight, and it will no doubt be part of the Comic-Con trailer next week.
I love how people always say this. Easy to say but I think it would be much much harder to actually make those sort of decisions if you actually had to do it.
Survivor A: You want to drive 50 kms in the opposite direction we are heading to see if anyone in your family is still alive?!?
Survivor B: Yeah, I know it's risky but I need to know, I don't think I could live with myself if I didn't at least try.
Survivor A: No way. It's an unnecessary risk. We have a plan, let's stick to it.
Survivor A: You are right. My bad!
People, like me and others in this thread, were watching it to see if they would reveal any new info or things about Season 3. What does that tell you? I'm just making an observation that always seems to happen and from your response will probably happen again. That wasn't a big spoiler at all, I was actually disappointed we didn't get some more juicy info on stuff we didn't already know was going to happen. So you weren't really spoiled on anything, but in the future if its that big of a deal i'm just suggesting you might want to stay away from programs like that. And don't watch the behind the scenes documentary on your DVD's and blu-rays before the movie or shows either.
I'd like to think I would. My thing is I don't usually have the ability to force my will onto other people, so I wouldn't be able to get them to listen. But I wouldn't put myself or the others in danger to help some random stranger or
someone who was literally just shooting at me
I don't think it's borderline insane. One part of me would have
left the kid to die on the fence
would have thought, "Maybe he is an asshole because he had no choice being in the group he was in."
I also think that part of having a good group is to take care of each other. A bunch of logic all the time types are not going to stay a group very long imo. Logic isn't quite as objective as the word suggests.
You also mentioned that you were infuriated when
Rick killed Shane. Problem is that Rick had to take him out as Shane was intending to kill Rick. Fair enough if you ask me not to mention that I don't follow Shane's logic in making the decision to kill Rick either. Shane also put the group at risk helping the kid escape and then forcing everyone to go out on a wild goose chase to track the kid down.

May contain jokes =>
I was the whipping boy last season and no doubt I will be all this year again, but I really don't like Michonne and that footage did nothing to dispel my concerns about her. As a non-comic reader it just comes across as pretty campy. It seems like a character lifted directly off the pages of a comic book in the most stereotypical sense and that is not a good thing in my eyes.
I just don't think that bleeding heart stuff would work in a real scenario. It'll work on a TV show where they can keep weak and terrible characters around forever if they wanted to but in the real world someone he rescued (especially if they were just trying to kill each other 5 minutes ago) or someone extremely fed up with him in the group would have shot him a long time ago by now. Probably someone like me or Shane if they weren't such good friends.

I'd like to see a montage of Rick's decisions and the horrible outcomes...
Starts with Rick telling the horse that the city is gonna be much safer "for horses too!", then cut to 50 zombies eating it.

Can we please get a scene in this show where somebody's in the woods about to be killed by a zombie and a fucking bear shows up and rips the zombie apart?

for a tv show, he is absolutely right. For the comic I never cared much.
what don't you like? She is awesome to me. She uses the weapon I'd use in a zombie apocalypse as my main!
