Leave my show alone. They killed off my boy shane...but I'm still watchin. I'm hoping the blonde 'tough guy' chick and karl get themselves killed. Soon.

[Munson]

Blonde chick I assume is sticking around for a while because they went through the trouble of turning her into the badass that she is in the comics.

Carl aint getting killed anytime soon either.

I'm just pissed because the previews for next week make it seem like Herschel is gonna die, but I like the new badass Herschel so I'm hoping he sticks around. I'm sure the useless characters that are his family are gonna get eaten though.

your boy was an annoying POS just like every single person on this wretched show

kill off every character and start over in season 3. please.

[phattymatty]

it definitely has been been the best little streak of episodes, but that doesn't take away the fact that is was awful for so long. and the only reason it's better is that these awful characters that no one cared about anyway are getting killed off.

however, shane was by far the least annoying and they have no realistic shot at survival without him. why did he not just shoot rick in the god damn head when he had the chance.

[Munson]

Eh, I think Shane represents what only some of the world would devolve into when the zombie apocalypse hits....a good portion would still be struggling with retaining their humanity like Rick and the rest of the group.

Also the only parts I really haven't liked so far were a couple of the episodes in Season 1 where Andrea's sister had way too many lines for being such an awful actress...and a few of the episodes before they found Sophia this season. They drug on a little bit, but the payoff when they found her was worth it IMO

the reason the show has supposedly gotten better is because the people that watch it MOSTLY have really low iq's and think golden corral has good food...so all it takes is for someone to get killed and it stimulates their feeble minds to think sweet what a great show

on the other hand ALL the people that really like show are simply half wits who will love anything that has zombies in it

and yes i think we all get that this is just a zombie show.....not the wire or mad men....but there are still human characters in it and it shouldnt be too much to ask to have the humans behave in way that are explainable and somewhat sensible...and to have their dialogue be semi literate...and how about getting some actors who can like you know...act...

the main problem with the show is that it trys to be dark and deal with serious consequences of an apocalypse on a grown up level....but everything about the show is so amateur that this is impossible to pull off...it would be far less painful if it didnt take itself so serious and was more like dawn of the dead...

it needs to be more zombie story and less survival story...this would cater to its base as well as not cause the critical masses to be so nitpicky and laugh at its absurdity

[phattymatty]

not that i agree or disagree with any of that, i just think it's better because things are happening. anything.

[MDS]

i couldnt have been the only one rooting for zombie shane to kill carl and rick, right? that would have been awesome.

whats with that farging kid popping up everywhere? hes so god damn irritating. and how come he and his father have no relationship and no chemistry. did they not have 10 years of normal time together or was rick one of these absentee cop fathers thats always out on The Case and never has time for his annoying loser son.

but yea the show is pretty terrible

[ice grillin you]

im rooting for the actor who plays carl to die so i dont have to watch carl anymore

[ice grillin you]

i just think it's better because things are happening. anything.

i agree and its pretty much what im getting at...more time spent on things dying means less time trying to develop horrible characters and send out 'omg what would you do if the world was taken over by zombies' messages

[MDS]

they cant kill everyone, though. and theyre clearly not going to kill rick, his awful wife or his even worse son.

if the blonde (Lurie?) goes ill be fine. that little asian dude is starting to get on my nerves, too. what a little bitch. hot farmer girl wants his small little pecker and hes all scared of old man horrace.

loser.

[Munson]

There should probably be a tv thread in no hippos.

[hbionic]

Jesus christ IGY.

IT'S A fargING ZOMBIE SHOW.

Would it be a better show if Gwyneth Paltrow or Anthony Hopkins were starring in it? I think it's acted perfectly...random folk...in a random area...stuck with random people. I'm not sure it's any less believable because of the acting. I'm not expecting soliloquies or arias coming from them...just start moving from the farging farm and move the show along.

i just think it's better because things are happening. anything.

i agree and its pretty much what im getting at...more time spent on things dying means less time trying to develop horrible characters and send out 'omg what would you do if the world was taken over by zombies' messages

again....IT'S A fargING ZOMBIE SHOW!

[Rome]

I agree with the sportswriter here.  Kill everyone (in real life) and start over.

[Munson]

The two biggest problems witht he acting...one is Carl who doesn't get a ton of screentime anyway....and the sister who died in the first season

Everyone else acts just fine. Andrew Lincoln still struggles with the accent sometimes though.

Also the comics put large emphasis on the "What would you do in a zombie apocalypse" theme and the writer of the comics is one of the writers for the show...so obviously that's not going to change.



Did anyone notice that when Shane walked, he walked like he was carrying two heavy suitcases in each hand?
