Really though, the writers surely must know that people think the characters are shit, so why not kill them off? Keep Daryl, find some more bad ass mofos and go kill some fuckin' zombies.

I'm also disappointed they haven't brought back the black dude and his son from the first episode, he's a good actor (great in Jericho) and I liked him a lot more than Sheriff zzz.

Grow some fucking balls writers.

This is supposed to be a character-driven show set in a zombie apocalypse isn't it? At least that's what it looks like it's supposed to be. If you're hoping for Resident Evil - the tv show, I don't think you're ever going to get that.

Wibble · 3rd February 2012, 19:58

Exactly. Not the greatest show on TV but well worth watching IMO. Surely there are enough plotless zombie films with blood and guts everywhere that you can watch if this isn't for you? That said

Decotron · 3rd February 2012, 20:28

Only caught up with this recently not a big fan of zombie films really but this really surprised me. Really enjoyed it

I wouldn't mind that IF it actually had good characters to watch, but they really are all rubbish and badly written, apart from Daryl. You can't have a character driven show if nobody likes the characters in it.

rcoobc · 3rd February 2012, 21:37

I'm struggling to remember the last time a TV Show had a good female character, or a good male character that wasn't in some way eccentric.

Walking Dead fails on many levels.

I'm not disputing that. I just think that everyone that wants badasses running around shooting zombies should probably quit watching and wait for a different show, because this show isn't it.

Lastwolf · 4th February 2012, 00:53

I'm not wanting resident evil the tv years.

but, I just wish they'd get real about actually surviving, they still sleep in tents out in the open, they have an excellent premise they insist on wasting on petty bullshit like "on noes, she might be up the duff with some other blokes child"

The last season has seriously been about the farm and the missing kid, the arc just dragged on and on and on.

Surviving an apocalypse should be interesting.

niMic · 4th February 2012, 00:57

And on that note... what was up with that old guy who was about to throw all their guns into a swamp? Am I missing something here, or is that the stupidest, most unlikely move ever in a zombie apocalypse?

I mean, this is a zombie apocalypse, right? Did it turn into a camping trip?

VivaRonaldo7 · 7th February 2012, 12:49

When is it back in the UK?

the relevant comic book was all about them on the farm, not one of the more interesting books i'll grant you that

Have you seen the West Wing?

Eriku · 8th February 2012, 01:45

Or anything David Simon's touched?

RDCR07 · 8th February 2012, 01:54

Does it start later in the UK or the same time?

RDCR07 · 12th February 2012, 10:39

I think the rest of the season is going to be good. At least from the TV spots I have seen so far, it should be interesting.

DomesticTadpole · 12th February 2012, 11:07

Starts in the UK on Friday 17th

RDCR07 · 12th February 2012, 11:09

It starts in the US tonight. Almost three months of waiting.

DomesticTadpole · 12th February 2012, 11:20

It's been so annoying having to wait this long...but they are cleared for a third season I believe...so that should be good

RDCR07 · 12th February 2012, 11:27

Exactly, what I was thinking. I have never seen a show get an almost 3 month midseason break.

DomesticTadpole · 12th February 2012, 11:37

I could understand why they may have wanted a break over Christmas but it should have started again in January...all I can think is it clashed with another programme

RDCR07 · 12th February 2012, 11:40

Yeah but they better get their shit together and improve their storyline dramatically. Otherwise it won't go beyond a 3rd season.

DomesticTadpole · 12th February 2012, 11:41

I have been disappointed with the lack of zombies and certain characters that are supposed to be in it at this point...but I suppose its because I read the comics

RDCR07 · 12th February 2012, 11:51

Its just that they are trying to prolong the show to have a few more seasons but then again the viewers want way more action than what has happened so far this season. It could backfire if they don't end up deviating from the books and make up some stuff/episodes on their own. I haven't read the comics, so I have no idea what is supposed to be happening.

DomesticTadpole · 12th February 2012, 11:57

The comics are brilliant, which in a way is why I shouldn't watch the show as I nit pick it...when i know they should be making changes and adapting it for tv

RDCR07 · 12th February 2012, 11:59

How many comics are there? And is the TV show strictly following them so far?

DomesticTadpole · 12th February 2012, 12:12

Well I get the volumes and I'm up to volume 10 so far, they have stuck to it mostly...some characters haven't been introduced yet and they have done some things out of sequence but its not a major drama lol...I'm just intrigued to see where they go with it

Im up to comic number 15. Not sure how many there are in total

No, they aren't following them strictly so far. Some bits are accurate and others aren't. Some characters were killed off in the comics long ago

Yeah, I want to see what they do with that particular character that should be dead now...I think they will die by the end of the season

RDCR07 · 13th February 2012, 06:01

Okay so I just finished watching the new episode.

Spoiler

Lastwolf · 13th February 2012, 15:08

Interesting episode hopefully some sparks start to fly.

I kind of wish they would just leave the farm. They don't really need the Hersel that badly, women had babies long before the invention of curmudgeonly old veterinarians.

Martin Henry · 13th February 2012, 16:04

Just saw last night's episode in the US, (it's on here on Friday). I love it, the best thing on tv right now in my opinion but it's a very subjective subject anyway and I can't understand why so many people are finding fault with it...

Nothing on tv can please all the people ALL the time but I'm enjoying this programme right now and can't wait til next week...

To each his own, but mate have you seen Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones et all ?

niMic · 13th February 2012, 17:00

Not a bad episode IMO. Though I do wish they could leave that bloody farm at some point.

Snow · 13th February 2012, 21:42

The episode was pretty much like last time.

Are the comic books a lot more violent/have more action rofl?

About time they moved on and given the end of the last episode I guess that is what will happen.

Spoiler More half based accusations, some bickering, annoying people, nothing really happening and then right at the end someone gets shot. At least she's probably not pregnant anymore which means next episode will be boring and annoying and it will end with them leaving and it will get fun again

At least the characters seem like they will change a bit and stop fucking about with "feelings". At least Rick has stopped moping. But why oh why won't they leave that farm Honestly, they are so shit. They never dug a trench, they could have used those two cowboys back at the bar. They are running out of people. They are shit.

Snow First Team Regular Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: I like turtles Posts: 12,311	Spoiler Those guys were obvious trouble. A veteran sheriff could tell that straight away. Definitely not the type to settle down on a farm and chill out. I mean the fatty told straight away that he was horny and asked about women. Now, obviously they'd be in small group and would know everyone in it so he was basically asking if any of their moms/daughters/sisters/cousins/aunts/friends were doable. Then the sly one went for the gun. He had only one thought in mind.
