I liked this week's episode, very exciting.
Agree. The walkers' being more central to the story was refreshing.CapnNismo wrote:

Not only that but also the encounter with other survivors was quite riveting. This is actually more exciting than the walkers, imo.FEOS wrote:

You're spot on about that. I do enjoy more storyline involving walkers, though...sort of the whole point of the series.CapnNismo wrote:

For me, personally, the walkers are boring. I've seen so many zombie movies and it's always the same stuff for the most part. For me it's more interesting to see the aftereffects of what would happen when the world ends, which is one of the reasons I like this series. I know a lot of folks here complain when the zombies aren't in the focus of the episode when it's all about the people, but those episodes can be really good. Unfortunately the writers seem to have dropped the ball in the first half of the second season - they could have made those side stories much better (the only one they seem to have done a good job on is Shane's slow fall into insanity but now the bit with Daryl is getting quite interesting). In all the zombie movies you never had any real character development but here you have a chance to see how folks might be when it all goes to shit.

The only thing this show has and the thing the show was pitched on was the zombies. If you wanted a show with serious detailed character development you could swing your dick in any direction and hit one.
The whole point of The Walking Dead is the survivors' story and how they adapt to the new world. The Walking Dead is not primarily about the Walkers. The show has made that quite clear and so have the directors and the comics.

The reason I find the walker involvement makes the show more interesting is that, without the constant fear of attack from them, it's just a drama series. The tension added by the walkers and the character's reaction to them--particularly with Hershel's slightly different view and his adjusting to reality--is a catalyst for the character development, imo.

I totally agree with you.

Episode 7 of second season so far.
Season 2 > Season 1
Season 2 > Season 1
So I don't know if what happened in the latest episode in the comics, but my girlfriend and I were screaming at the TV after the ending and both got real sad... Fuck you, Carl!

I had mixed feelings about Dale. He was right about most things throughout the series, but he was quite wrong about Randall.
I'm disappointed there's only two more episodes in this season. I wonder how long the wait for the third season will be. I kept myself entertained with White Collar, Hell on Wheels, and Falling Skies while waiting for The Walking Dead. All of those are on break now for a while if I remember.

Randall is a threat in my opinion. He wouldn't give Daryl the information about the camp that he supposedly doesn't like. That makes no sense whatsoever. If you're not one of them, you don't help them out. If they let him go, his best chance is to go back to his old group since he's got no chance on his own. The 30 armed people from the other group would get the information from Randall about a farm with food, safety, weapons, and shelter - then invade the place. So Dale was wrong about letting Randall live. Not to mention if they keep him prisoner he could possibly escape or hurt somebody. If he escapes on such harsh terms he would more than agree to let the others know about Hershell's farm and come back for revenge.

Dale was annoying. Good riddance. When the world ends in a zombie apocalypse...nobody wants to hear somebody whining about humanity all the time.

I thought the reason Rick didn't kill the guy was because he realised what was happening to Carl, and that killing Randal would be going down a road that might alter how Carl thinks about humanity. As in, Dale was right. I think Dale was right, but should keep him prisoner to see what the can find out about the other group to see if they move on.

They already got a taste of the kids crew. They should have killed him on the fence.

Wouldn't it be an interesting plot twist if Merle was the leader of the other group, the group attacks the farm, and then Daryl unknowingly shoots an arrow right through his brother's head ...
Last episode right there.
End of the season will see The Governor and Merle is NOT the Governor, that's already all been stated in an interview.
