I would punch his baby in the face! thats how i roll! ask around, it happens! ~spines
I'm gonna wait until the end of Season 2. Those last 2 episodes in Season 1 were pretty stupid. I loved the first 4, and the characters all seem pretty good. I don't mind them diverging from the comic because I was a little bored with Game of Thrones being an exact conversion.
What was the problem with the last episodes in season 1? It was a very human very real feel to it. Rember the walking dead is not your typical zombie flick ie: lets go shoot bash blow up as many as we can. Its all about oh **** can we make it to tomorrow?
"The Machine will grind you down."
Inventor of the "Chris Noble".
Bayou 2011 "Hero to Zero"
Lone Wolf 2011 9 3rd overall. "GateKeeper"
2013 North Texas Battles 3rd overall and tied for 3rd best sport.
"He's a judicious calculating master tactitician who will exploit the slightest weakness in anyone's plan and known for building intricate masterful lists that are incredibly hard to destroy and making people pay dearly for tactical mistakes. "
I tend to alternate between screaming at the TV; "WHY THE HELL DO YOU IDIOTS KEEP SPLITTING UP!!??," loving the twists; Shane getting out of the school or Rick's "Of course I knew," and getting a kick about the black humor; the zombie who hung himself, the zombie in the well, or the farm's pet zombies in the barn.
My take is that the problem the series is one of expectations. It isn't really a zombie series, it's a soap opera about damaged people trying to survive, and process, the Zombie Apocalypse.
To err is human, to forgive is not SAC policy.
This is what the series has always been about.

But many who tuned in were expecting a zombie hunt, not a drama. And many still do. There's usually enough blood and guts to keep them strung along. But they bitch because they really want "Zombieland."
For the record, I'm not dissing the series. The writing is superb and the visuals are awesome. A great combination.
And, if I may say so, tonight's episode was severely phucked up. I did NOT see that coming.

Frank I don't think anyone saw that coming, hell I get the feeling the actors were left in the dark until the last second. That was a perfect way to end season 2.

Mid-season end. They'll be back in February after the Holidays. I guess they didn't want to bum every out during the Christmas season.
And yeah, either the actors played the shocked part all the way to the hilt.

Darwinism in action if you will.
And the final scene of Rick with the revolver doing what had to be done - just as I asked the wife, "OK; who's going to step up?" - will stay with me for a looong time.

I like the show, even with the suspension of belief required to buy into just how fast the zombies overwhelmed everything. I'm a dedicated watcher and will continue to do so, right along with Hell On Wheels. February is going to seem an eternity away. :P
[quote name='A D-B' date='Jan 25 2011, 06:43 AM' post='2633141']I'm so sick of seeing your name. Every bloody time, I think "God, that's a great name for a Chaos warlord... Don't use it... Don't use it... They'll say you come to B&C to steal ideas..."
I hate you.
SPOILERS:
The parts I didn't like were the cartoonishly stupid gang and the fact that a single guy used up that entire basement of fuel without being able to fix anything and the CDC had an unstoppable self-destruct system when the unstoppably depleting fuel supply ran out.
I think as a whole it was really good, but I was waiting to see if Season 2 jumped the shark.
