The season 2finale now has the show exactly where I wanted it to be. It could be that good every week if they keep following close to the comic.
There is still a lot of territory to cover with this story, and the best is yet to come. Season 3 should be the best season yet if it's done well.

It seemed like at the beginning of the season they were trying to get more in depth with the characters. They were trying really hard to build them up so that we would have a better "understanding" of who each character was.
Also, I do recall AMC cutting the funding on the Walking Dead by a pretty significant amount (which is why Darabont quit the series), so I'm sure that the reduced funding played a large role in making some episodes less eventful.
Pretty shitty move on AMC's part in my opinion. It's a show that they produce, and it turned out to be a HUGE hit. So what did they do? The told them to produce 13 quality episodes for the same amount of money that it took to make the first 6 episodes.
I'm hoping that AMC realizes the awesome product they have here and they put out the best show possible.
Gonzo: Nice signature edit. Classy, yet comedic.
