Poor Dale, if only Carl had fessed up about seeing the walker at the creek he might still be alive. I don't really know how the show is going to pan out, now that they have new directors or whatever caused the mid season break.

I started watching for the zombies and stayed for tancredi.

This season is terrible, I won't lie at all. The last one was pretty good but this one has nothing going on that couldn't have been done in a episode or made in depth in a two part episode.

There is a million things they could do to make it more interesting but they fail so hard at writing it's insane. I wonder if they took someone's half written script out of the garbage for a single episode and was like....... let's make this an ENTIRE season!

I have problems with that:

1. From the first moment they showed that zombie stuck in the mud, he was making all kinds of racket. How the hell did Dale not hear him?

2. The disemboweled cow was in the middle of a freakin' field on a moonlit night. How did Dale not see the walker?

They had me until this. Now I know it's all fake and there aren't really any zombies.

We're obviously watching two different shows. I think it's excellent; of course I actually enjoy good character development and decent acting too, rather than just another zombie/slasher flic that are a dime a dozen.

That damn kid needs to be dealt with. Dale would not of been killed if he would of nutted up.

I was praying for the zombie to eat that kid. They should of also killed that kid instead of just keeping him a prisoner. In times like that if you dont get a good feeling about someone right away I say just execute him. Its survival of the fittest.

That show is soooo terrible. Its just your plain old everyday day time drama but with zombies that randomly appear and eat people.

Awful show, in no way is it an actual zombie tv series, which is what i was hoping for. The last episode i watched didnt even show a zombie until 5 minutes from the end. And even that was terrible, the characters were just casually sitting in the woods having a campfire, with no protection, or even a care that there was a zombie apocalypse happening around them, until a couple of them were killed.

Then most of the show they were walking around outside casually doing their business. Its just another day time drama masked by the illusion of a zombie series.

Definitely was expecting more of a Dawn of the Dead turned tv series. Epic fail....

I enjoy it. Not sure whats wrong with it being a drama show .
I have yet to see the first seson. I know its on netflix. hmm

1. Well, the walker was in the creek mud, and we have no way of knowing how far from camp that actually was.

2. When I watched it my first thought was the cow was sick/injured. When he got closer and saw the intestines he freaked, spun around and was caught off guard (possibly due to getting comfortable at the farm, haven't had too many run ins with walkers other than the barn). He let his guard down and paid the ultimate price. My $0.02.

I am a zombie fan. I have a "bug out" plan that I jokingly refer to as my "zombie apoc" plan. It in reality has nothing to do with zombies, but like to CDC says "if your prepared for zombies your prepared for anything".

What scares me more than anything is a economic collapse. Take average people who have no survival skills and remove electricity, water, and fast food. In 3 days you will have looting, rioting, anarchy in general.

Well that's usually something left for the women folk or the limp wristed haha

Basically just a soap with higher production value


And you guys sound like a bunch of chicks gossiping over the latest rumor haha. Like ! did you hear....

So... whatcha think about the season opener?

Pretty damn intense if you ask me!

I sure liked it, kept me on my toes!

Needs T and A. Like many series lately,,, the killing, falling skies, walking dead, lost.... The producers are trying to keep viewers by constantly twisting the plot in ways that actuALLY detract from the enjoyment of the film. As a viewer, I am sick of pointless twists that do nothing but add fluff to an already mediocre plot.

That being said,,, walking dead and falling skies are the best crap series on tv nowadays! Truly O/K stuff!

LOVED IT!

Very pumped about the Prison. I think that would be one hell of a place to hold up and survive.

Easily one of the best shows on TV today IMHO and ive seen A LOT of stupid shows. This one is far above the rest.

I'd seen everything up until this season, then introduced the show to my girlfriend to catch her up before we dive into season 3.

I have to agree. There is a lot of fluff built in and plenty of holes in the plot. I try to distract myself from the holes in order to enjoy the show, but some of the scripting is flat out dumb.

For instance; Laurie and Carl. Laurie's ONLY JOB IS TO WATCH CARL. She aimlessly wanders around creating emotional tension and instigating strife into the group decisions and her point is validated because she is the "leader's wife and mother to his son;" yet she regularly looses track of the child who inevitably finds trouble.

Laurie: "Stay right here."
Carl: "Ok Mom." :wanders off:

-5 minutes later-

Laurie: "Where is Carl"
Zombie: "RAWWWWRRR"

There's the two character's integration into the plot. I wish Shane would have put a bullet in her stomach and ate Carl's brain.

As for Dale... He's the groups Herschel; a man with convictions. So they spent an entire show building on this. Literally, the entire episode could have been called "Dale talkes with each main character one-by-one to discuss not killing the prisoner." When they had the meeting in the house, I felt like it was written terribly.

Rick: We need to kill this guy
Everyone: Ok, let's kill him.
Dale: Awe, come on. I've already talked to each of you and got the same answer before.... If I saw "awe" that's supposed to make you change your mind. I'm a man of strong convictions! Awe, come one.
Rick: Tough shit, it's boom time.
Dale: Awe
Everyone: Ok, we won't kill him.
Rick: Damn it, Dale.

No shit the zombie in the well didn't want canned ham. Have you seen them eat anything but the living? So the walkers swarm the tank by the hundreds because Rick smells tasty. They can be seen swarming for a whole block, yet they they can't smell the six or so people laying under a few cars?

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the show, but it's like watching a train wreck each week. I see it coming and expect things will go well. I enjoy it for a while then realize I've been hoodwinked.

Don't get me started on how terribly terrible of a direction True Blood has gone.

^ Reasons why I let the girl watch them by herself ^

I feel dumber, if that's even possible, even after listening to the show in the background while I'm on my computer. It's gotten to the point where I laugh at the show now, I've got to keep it to myself though or else the girl gets a bit disappointed so I leave the room.

Really? You saw it coming when Rick chopped off his best friend's leg with a hatchet? You must be clairvoyant.

I'm guessing a lot of people in this thread just want predictable gore with zero dialog or character interaction. Personally I think that would be a hell of a lot more boring.

I love the show (actually the only thing I watch); can't wait for the next episode.

Man, you need to relax. Its a show and a good one at that. If I went around and pointed out all the stupid or lose end things that happened in EVERY movie, TV show, etc. Its would completely take away from the whole experience.

^Fact. People need to lighten up and enjoy the show for what it is.

Heres how I rank the walking dead. If there were reruns of old star trek on at the same time,, I would choose stAr trek. If there were reruns of x files,, I would choose x files. If the women in walking dead would do some mild soft core,, I would watch that part then flip back to star trek.

If the aliens from falling skies would attack the survivors of walking dead,, and the people from lost would get swept in through a worm hole being lead by jerry oconnel, then bruce lee would show up and kill them all with little help from chuck noris,, then I would watch, and flip back to star trek when its done.

beins that cable tv pretty much decides whut we watch and whut is a successful series,,,,, Ima ketch up with the walking dead and see if I kin lookit some zombies getting blasted an such. t and a zombies wood be cool to.

Remember that time when bruce lee killed chuck noris,, but it was an honorable death, and he was a powerful adversary. Wasnt that kung fu vrs karate as far as the fight was concerned?

The walking dead is a great show. Especially in this damn TV world of reality shows, give me a show with actual actors. With that said I really enjoyed the season opener it had what I think was missing from last season, less talking more killing zombies .

AMC does have some great show cause you cant say Breaking Bad is not another great show. Bryan Cranston is one hell of an actor one of the best on TV.

You cant combare Star Trek to anything, That is hands down the greatest TV series to grace the Television. THE NEXT GENERATION OF COURSE.

The 1st season can't be compared to the 2nd or 3rd seasons. The 1st season had a different director. Any 'plot holes' can be explained by the 2nd director not liking the direction the 1st guy was taking the show.

It's how in the 1st season, the zombies can smell humans...But in the 2nd season, they can't. The new director changed the way the zombies behaved.

Another believable reason could be that from the time the initial zombies surrounded the tank, it's been almost an entire year. Many of the zombies wouldn't have eaten since then and maybe their senses start to get messed up after long periods without food.

Exactly. People just want a show where the actors pump millions of bullets into zombies, while only stopping long enough to reload.

Bang, bang, bang, bang....etc
"Yo Rick, pass me the ammo."
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
"Yo Lori, show me your hooters while I shoot these zombies with my machine gun."
Bang, bang, bang, bang...And later that evening, *bang, bang, bang*

What a lame-ass show that would be.
