‘The Walking Dead’ Season 3 Deleted Scene: The Ricktatorship Crumbles

Our 'Walking Dead' season 3 Blu-ray giveaway contest might have ended, but that doesn't mean you can't pick up the home release of AMC's third-cycle horror drama for yourself, starting today! Chock full of features and deleted scenes like Carol squaring off with Merle, and Rick seeing a surprising new side to Lori, another 'Walking Dead' season 3 deleted scene has hit to show us more of the crazy Rick we never saw.

Set during the season's sixth episode "Hounded," the latest deleted scene (via ET) from 'The Walking Dead' season 3 offers up a bit more insight into the group's worries over Rick's stability, given that the machete-wielding former sheriff has continually sealed himself off in the wake of Lori's death. Given that we know Rick will take a less authoritative role in season 4, scenes like the above give a clue into the more divided leadership style we'll see going forward. Hopefully, with less imaginary phone calls.

While we await the latest details from ‘The Walking Dead’ season 4, the next run of the AMC horror-drama will introduce ‘The Wire’ star Lawrence Gilliard, Jr. as comic character Bob Stookey, and upgrade actors Chad Coleman, Sonequa Martin-Green and Emily Kinney to series regulars. AMC earlier confirmed that David Morrissey would also return in season 4 as a series regular, while the series is confirmed to have begun casting three new roles exceptionally familiar to comic fans. And let's not forget AMC's recent sneak peek clip!
