I'm all caught up with it finally! I downloaded all of the current Season 3 episodes onto my android and would watch two episodes a night with my headphones on and my room, pitch black. I loved it. It's so intense and horrifying, just brilliant!
Favorite Character - I like them all and my least favorite is Milton. My absolute favorite is
Michionne! She's the female equivalent of Darryl I think. Alot of people will say that she hasn't had much character development thus far, but I think the pace is fair considering their circumstances. I'm sure we'll learn more about her before the season is over. I hope Andrea helps Daryl and Merle escape before she ends up siding with the Governor in the battle against Rick. Strange as it sounds, I believe Merle will fight as part of Rick's group. There will probably be more deaths and I don't even want to imagine who's going to get killed yet, it seems inevitable.
I believe Merle will sacrifice himself for his brother and I think Andrea and The Governor will get killed off before the season is over. I think Tyreese and Sasha will probably survive and stick around. I expect Morgan and Duane to eventually meet up with Rick again.
This is all speculation ofcourse...
