The group was on the road after the farm for about 8 mos going house to house. Think of how small Lori was when she found our she was pregnant on the farm. Then she was huge the first episode of season 3. The year long time line is about right.
There was a 3-4 month span between seasons 2 and 3 that we did not see. Also, they were apparently on the farm for many months despite a day to day feel as conveyed by the concurrent episodes.

^Well then it explains how the zombies are easily defeated. Most of them should be dead just by malnutrition, no?
They don't actually die. If you watched the episode, they just lie down and go dormant until food comes by, like Carl and Michonne in the Cafe.
Just watched the last episode...not bad for a bottle episode.
Kirkman comments on rest of season:
The rest of the season really is about what Andrea is doing and how she's handling this situation. The scene where she stands over him in the bed is really the beginning of her plan and what she's going to be doing and why she's doing what she's doing. The fact that she wasn't able to kill the Governor is really going to play in to a lot of the upcoming story for the rest of the season. Andrea is in a really horrible position. She has relationships with people in Woodbury. She knows there are good people there. She knows that the Governor is instigating a war between those people and other people that she has a relationship with that she also knows to be good people. She's kind of stuck in the middle and can't help either group win because that would mean the destruction of other good people but she's going to have to do something to try to make this situation resolve in a way that not too many people get hurt. So that's really what she's going to be trying to do moving forward.
I'm afraid there may be a casualty or more still to be experienced by the end of this season. We'll see.
Will this Woodbury vs. the prison storyline be resolved by the end of the season? Season 1 was the set up and going to the CDC, season 2 was about the farm, and season 3 has been the prison and Woodbury. Should we expect a new setting next season?
That would certainly appear to be settling into a cycle. I don't want to give anything away because we have some really cool stuff planned for the finale, but I will say that there is a resolution to the storyline at the end of the season, as people would expect. It becomes a whole complete story that you've been able to experience over the course of season 3. And It will set things up nicely for season 4. There are new places to go in season 4, but whether or not that means a new setting or new story direction or simply new characters I can't really nail down any specifics.
Who the cares about Andrea for gods sake, the only thing she's good for is sleeping with guys. I hope they don't place too much story on her, she should die already.
Your reading comprehension is stellar.
If the focus on Andrea is what finally gets TV Andrea to turn into comic book Andrea, I'll be happy.
I still think they've completely mishandled the prison and Woodbury arcs, however, and there's nothing in Kirkman's comments that leads me to believe that will be resolved satisfactorily. Which is (potentially) unfortunate.
TV Andrea reminds more like comic book Michonne along the lines as her sexuality and aggressiveness toward men (Shane and the Governor). Bringing some of what Andrea was in the comics would be cool.
I'll never forgive Andrea for shooting Daryl and being happy about making the shot. I want to shove a semi auto shotgun up her ass and unload about 8 rounds in her.
I pretty much hate what TV Andrea has become, and am therefore unlikely to waste much time coming to her defense, but to be fair she was happy that she shot a walker. She was sad and appropriately apologetic when she found out it was Daryl.
Doesn't matter; I still want her dead. Everyone and their mom told her to not shoot because they didn't know who or what it was and she didn't care. That stupid smile she had after taking the shot just made me boil with hatred for her. I liked it better when she was suicidal.
I'd settle for them letting Tyreese be who Tyreese should be. Actually in the picture.
I swear... If they manage to up Tyreese... Or they turn him into T-Dogg the 3rd...
I'm trying to think happy, optimistic thoughts, though. I avoided panicking too much when Michonne spent almost the entirety of the season as an underdeveloped mute with no sense of agency or motivation outside the demands of the plot, and finally last episode she started to resemble the character I'm so fond of in the comics. Hopefully Tyreese will work out the same way.
I'm glad I never read the comics. Many are sounding disappointed
Semi-agreed. Most of it sounds pretty good but some of it sounds pretty meh. I might read it after the show is done with to see how they did it differently. I am glad that I didn't read the comics before; I probably would've wanted the show to be just like the books. And that, of course, never happens.
I watched the first season, about 15 mins of ep 1 of season 2, and stopped. Read comics a year later, then my gf started watching the show on Netflix. Since I couldn't spoil anything complaining I shut up and just watched it, and enjoy seeing where they differ. A complete copy of the comics would be unfilmable and kinda silly imo.
I'm actually very happy to have kept current with both the comics and the TV show. I find each of them to be genuinely entertaining on their own and generally like that the TV show has not followed the books directly. Additionally, I find that having read the comic book, which allows for far more character development than even the laboriously paced second season did, I am a lot less critical of the TV show's rather hollow characters than I would have been otherwise.
It just so happens that this season is tackling what has got to be the comic book's most iconic arcs, in terms of both characters and narrative. I don't think the show is horrible, by any means. If I did, I'd stop watching. Nor do I want them to follow the comics exactly. I've welcomed the deviation, even within this narrative arc -- everything involving the Dixon bros. has been hugely entertaining, and I'm happy to miss out on the televised version of some of the comic's grislier (and, in some cases, cheesier) plot points. They're just in fan favorite territory this season, is all, which is always going to lead to more passionate/more vocal scrutiny.
Doesn't change the fact that Andrea is really annoyiing
She's another Lori, well not exactly alike, Andrea is more combat prepared then Lori.
In some ways, she's more naive, though. Lori always went for the top dog. First Shane, then Rick, when he returned. Andrea always seems to pick the runner up. Assuming Rick beats the governor, that will be two second place finishers in a row in a discarded Shane and the Guv.
This brings a smile to my face. Hopefully something like it happens.
I hope they don't try to Carl her. Carl was super annoying those early on and I cheered when is useless ass was shot. But when season 3 started, the writers tried to turn him into billy badass and make people like him again. Uh, uh. I ain't buying it.
I pray they don't do the same to Andrea. "oh look, she helped the group do something against Mayberry so all is forgiven."
LOL
agreed. Carl will always be a I wish would die. In fact, this new version of Carl makes him look more like a got than when he was just the boy that couldn't stop leaving the house. Especially since he never takes off that stupid hat.
