Did you watch?

For a show on a non premium cable channel, I thought it was very good. I never read the comic, so I don't know how it compares, but I'll be watching every Sunday. pisses me off that I don't get AMC in HD though.

Okay, tonight was their last chance to keep me watching and they failed miserably. Too much chatter, too much drama, too many commercials and not enough zombies or zombie kills.

I'm done.

I just wish they'd hurry up an find the girl or kill her, seriously just move on already.

I love the show, but I think they are spending too much time trying to build character back story's....it's starting to feel like they are just dragging out the shows now. Annoyed
The first season was nothing but action for 6 episodes. Then they got picked up for season 2 and it's all long, drawn-out meaningful looks and nannering. Get with the zombie killing already!!!

Redneck boy = Sawyer from Lost. Hated him at first, but he's growing on me.

Shane is an ass. He needs to get bit and die. Mama is a hussy who needs to figure out who the daddy is.

I'll stick with it. Not much else worth watching on TV.

They really need to pick it up...the last 3 episodes have just dragged on and on.

Side note - Hell on Wheels looks very promising.

I thought it was pretty decent, hopefully they continue the series. The acting and story could have probably been a little better but it was alright for a zombie flick it was better then most others ive seen.

I agree with most of the post. The show is starting to get lame with all the talking and no action. I hope in the near future the farm get overrun by zombies and most of them die. woot

Needs more zombies and blood and shooting and action. I just watched the four episodes that have come out over the weekend (fourth last night, obviously) and I have to say, the first episode was great, tense and somewhat action packed. But after that...way too much drama. I actually skimmed through the fourth episode because it was so boring --;

I'm hoping for this too. bounce If anyone watched the sneak peak from the episode next week, they have a conversation about the women's menstrual cycles. What happened to the action from the first season? Quickly went from one of my favorite shows, to this. wave Kill someone off, have a zombie run into the house, anything.

The comic wasn't about killing zombies but more about how people change and whatnot. You will be disappointed for sure if all you want to watch is zombie killings. Having said that, they need to to find that girl already and move the fark on. laugh out loud

He reminds me of the security guard from Dawn of the Dead remake. Watch that movie if haven't already, lot's of action!

This shouldn't be a hard show to write. Go play Left4Dead for an hour, then write it down. bounce

I'm getting disappointed by the lack of zombie killing on the show. That goes against my survival mentality, which NO ONE on the show has, they are always hiding and trying to avoid the zombies. I'd rather take the approach of trying to eliminate the threat. Now I wouldn't run into the middle of 1,000 zombie single handed, but I wouldn't hesitate to take out small groups of them.

As for focusing on the people and how people change, they can do that and still waste a few zombies in the process. For example, most people would never consider shooting someone in the head, but how many wouldn't hesitate to blow the brains out of an undead walker? Or how about people who don't have a clue how/where to get food when there are no grocery stores that now have to scavenge to find basic supplies?

Episode 6 was the lols. I couldn't stop cracking up when Andrea pounced on Shane. Oh yeah, a bunch of shit finally hits the fan in this episode.
