Only 1 episode in, but so far I like the direction they're taking with this season. The first thing one noticed is the obvious increase in action as opposed to the very mild previous season. The personal drama was kept to a low, but considering that they only uttered roughly 5 lines throughout the entire episode you can't really tell if they're going to fuck up the writing like they did in se2; but let's face facts, we don't watch this for the dialogue and given that this ep contained ample zombie killing, it's looking to be a good season.
I love the more unrealistic and comicy approach they've taken so far by giving them the makeshift suppresses and the melee fight with the armored zombies, and of course there's the whole Michonne situation: Chained and jawless zombies acting as a repellent and a katana. Doesnt get any more absurd (in a good way) than that.
The open ending (as per usual) actually has me waiting for the next ep, unlike season 2's endings.
Here's to a soapless season
