I've not read the comic. But, I thought this week's episode was certainly the best of season 2. I'm intrigued by the barn full of zombies, and what Rick will do.

What? Nothing ****ing happened!

Wish I never read the comics lol

I left my neatly-written synopsis at home.

This isn't a traditional zombie movie, it's something considerably different. Some people still need to get their heads around that.

That isn't to say that they couldn't be doing more with character development. They certainly could be. For example, I don't think they could make Rick more uninteresting right now if they tried.

The new showrunner wrote this week's episode, which might have been the best in the season so far.

That's pretty weak praise.

I think you're imagining the quality dropoff from season 1 to season 2. I don't think there's been a dropoff in quality at all. It's never been a great show (although the pilot led people to believe that it might have that potential), but it's never been bad either.

Well, you're out of your mind. Last season was fantastic.

I think it's suffering because of the budget cuts. Even before Darabont was fired AMC was asking for 13 episodes for less than they paid for the 7 episodes of the first season. Moving around costs money, so the first half of this season (at least) gets stuck in one place.

No, the pilot was fantastic. And the episode where Merle cut off his own hand was good. The rest (and the last 3 episodes in particular)... mediocre.

Stop with the undeserved hate and have some patience.

No, the entire season was fantastic. If last season were what you are saying it was, I wouldn't be complaining about this season. This season is meh in comparison to last season. This farm storyline sucks ass.

Stop sucking at evaluating TV.

You're complaining about this season because you lack patience and understanding. There's nothing wrong with it. In fact, I like it quite a bit more overall as they needed to spend this time developing characters to further the series as a whole.

This is what I would call selective memory. The plot may have developed at a quicker pace to draw audiences in Season 1, but that doesn't make it better.

As for the last three episodes of season 1, I wasn't crazy about the segments in the CDC, but the nighttime zombie attack was one of the most chilling moments I've ever seen on television.

This. So ****ing this.
