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.

Season one was great, campy, zombie-killing fun. Sure, it was low budget cheese, but for what it was it was fantastic!
Season two...eh. They changed the rules in the first episode (hiding under cars? Seriously?) and that as annoying, but I figured they did it for a reason. So far, that reason hasn't come back up in the story, and so now the rules change seems arbitrary at best.
The story...seems so far the last six episodes really could have been wrapped up into two episodes at the most. The writers seem to be stretching a bit for lack of material. I'm just about to the point that if they don't find that stupid little girl, dead or alive soon, I'm nearly done. I literally find myself getting frustrated with the pace of the show.
Still, it's zombies, and that in and of itself just about means it's worth watching.
I tend to find myself comparing the show (somewhat unfavorably, admittedly) to We're Alive - A Story of Survival [zombiepodcast.com]. I keep thinking that if that radio show was made into a screenplay that it would be similar to The Walking Dead, only better. I keep thinking that the characters in TWD are missing some major points, and that this whole farmhouse sanctuary is a bunch of BS, too easily attacked from too many directions with no warning system in place. That is not how I will be passing time when the Zombie Apocalypse arrives.

I really liked the We're Alive series. Much better than this show has shaped up to be for its second season.
I'm anxiously waiting for season 3 of We're Alive to start. An announcement is due by the end of the month as to when it'll start!

More like 6 episodes that could have been wrapped up in 2 minutes.

On topic, I think they are just building up to have something to do with the barn.

More guns!! If I were in Atlanta when Z Day hit, I would head about 15 miles NW to Smyrna, HQ for Glock pistols, so I could score a few Glock 18s. For those that don't know what a Glock 18 is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyyB0M6
Then to Fort Benning, where if I'm not mistake is the home base for the Army Marksmanship Unit and you know those boys can shoot.

Should I ask how many cases of it you have stockpiled? Personally I think I'll just stick with what I already have in my stash. Although the tips are supposed to glow in the dark, so at least they'd be easy to find in the dark.
