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.

To be honest..

I'm worried that Lizzie is just the kind of broken soul that the Governor feeds on.

I'm just over the whole thing.

She (the show) came out of the gate strong but now rides like a swayback mule with three legs.

I'm inclined to agree with this sentiment...any moment I expect to see a zombie on waterskis in a leather jacket...

With the way the writing is going, would that really be so far-fetched?

It just confuses me so much to see what appears to be so much sloppiness, at the hands of Scott Gimple.

I keep hoping that everything will come full circle, that everything will get explained fully, or lead to something that is really worthwhile (like the way that it was a VERY slow burn on the searching-for-Sophia storyline until it culminated with a EEK! moment - that was a Gimple episode, btw). I'm just really hopefully this will all be for something.

I'm rapidly losing hope for a show that seems to be dead set on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory if it continues on its current tack...

I tend to agree as well. Though I'm a little biased having read the direction from the comics. It's concise, shocking, and I'm always guessing or thinking "whoa!!!"

This show has a lost a lot of that of late exploring the "what ifs" of the human element.

I am almost bored with the story line, was thinking I was the only one feeling this.

Nope. I read the AMC Walking Dead forums and many, MANY, other people are feeling the same way. Bored, frustrated, irritated, and just over it.

I must be in the minority, I think the show's moving at a decent pace right now. Maybe just a bit slow, but not enough for me to lose interest.
It's WAY better than season 2, spending half the season wandering through the woods looking for a lost brat.
Lots of things being set up, lots of questions and several directions the show can go in. Who's feeding the walkers? Will Glen live? What's Carol up to? Will Daryl (and/or Tyrese) go looking for Carol? What kind of crapstorm is big G planning? Will Bob get his bottle? Find out next week (maybe), same dead time, same dead channel.

Here are a few things that have made the show completely goofy:

Everyone is always discussing their feelings and baggage. Who gives a crap?

The Governor surviving last season. WTF? Is he invisible to these people? Does he have a cloaking device? Are they using blanks for bullets?

Kicking Carol out of the group not only didn't make any sense at all, she's a way better asset than most of the sponges they picked up from Woodbury. Who would do that???? No one, that's who.

At the end of last season we got a pretty good look at the exterior of the prison and there are holes and entries all over the place. NOT the prison yard ... the building itself. And yet, anytime anyone has to get anywhere inside that place to go save someone or kick some ass, it takes a farkin' hour to accomplish entry.

In the course of 3 years, we have seen ONE set of walkie talkies and those were shared by Morgan and Rick. Are there no walkie-talkies and batteries left on the planet? Can these numbnuts not establish some type of communication that doesn't require smoke signals or running 3 miles in slow motion to yell for help?

Why are so many walkers drawn to the prison? It took Rick and the gang 2 years to find it because it's way the hell out in the middle of nowhere, and yet 100 walkers a day wander up to this place like homeless to a soup kitchen.

Where are all the birds? I understand that walkers can catch and eat dogs and cows and horses, etc. But seriously, where the hell are all the birds?


Just a few things that have been bugging me.

Probably to get you more attached to the characters so that when one of them inevitably dies, it will be more stinging. Either that or to give some substance to these characters that you really have only seen one side of.

He must be excellent at covering tracks and being stealthy. Michonne has been on his trail for months and couldn't find him.

Maggie already agreed it was the right decision.

He did it just as much for his own selfish, bullish reasons as he did for her own safety, being outed as the internal killer and showing a very rabid group that she would kill anyone if, in her eyes, it was the best for "the group."

I'm assuming different blocks and stuff. Wouldn't you want to live farthest from where the zombies on the fence congregate?

People are eating other people and your concern is why no one can realistically find batteries?

Look at it this way - would YOU risk your life going outside the fences to look for some batteries and walkies?

Either the rats, or simply the amount of movement and noise. Herd mentality, noise attracts walkers attract more walkers.

Hm, these look like birds to me..

If this show was listed as a "true story" then your gripes are warranted. But I feel complaining about this stuff on a show about ZOMBIES is weak.

The poor dialogue is what pisses me off.
