Season 1 was a great show. Even with the parts I didn't particularly like - yeah, the sisters chatting in the rowboat was dreadful - it still was better than most things you find on network TV. It was a compelling story, well told, with a good cast, and with great moments like the guys defending the old folks' home, and Jim asking to be left on the side of the road.

Season 2, it's still a great show, but I do think it's suffering from sophomore slump. It doesn't feel as scary as it did - almost everything happens during the day, and they have a place of safety. That changes the dynamic. It's still a good show, I just hope they're working towards something that will make it all worth it, and the show doesn't end up eating itself, like Twin Peaks or Lost did.

I loved the scene where they're hiding as the horde shambles by, and the scene with Carol and Dwayne when she brings him dinner, and this recent showdown between Dale and Shane. That was great stuff.

I like the show, it's better than most stuff on TV. I'll keep watching it, but I don't blame people for saying the pacing is too slow, and I agree. And I don't think that makes me a, "WHAR'S THE ZOMBIE KILLIN'! I need zombie killing and explosions and stuff!"
I get that it's a story about people, and I can appreciate that. But the pacing isn't good. Arguments between two characters is a form of conflict, but I don't think it's been very effective in most scenes.

Rick is the worst male character on the show.

His signature move is leaning in, with his head cocked sideways, and quietly but earnestly saying something to another person. And sort of bouncing up and down while he says it.

Still watchable, but it needs to go somewhere. Shane is about the only interesting character right now.

I get the feeling season 1 was a test or experiment, then AMC was caught off guard some when it was a huge hit.

I still dont get why they cut the budget and fired Darabont.......weird.

AMC had fights with the Breaking Bad staff as well I believe. I think they have some smart people finding gems for shows but have some really dumb ones making monetary decisions.

Bambi · 11-22-2011, 11:31 AM

Actually really liked the last 2 episodes. Got me back into the show.

Interesting to see if the Asian kid starts to pull some shit.

Shane is awesome.

Caseyguyrr · 11-22-2011, 12:03 PM

this show needs to pick up the pace, i'll still watch it, but it has lost its edge from the beginning of the show. im so disappointed. it had so much promise. Maybe if they ever got off that goddamn farm it would be better

Munson · 11-22-2011, 12:37 PM

They definitely need some more zombie killing. That's what made season 1 so fun to watch.

excessive zombie killing = good ratings

PGM · 11-22-2011, 04:44 PM

It is still better than all the garbage on network TV.

They lost tax credits and Darabont wanted the budget if not more.

I keep waiting for Reaper to come here and tell you that you're watching the show for the wrong reasons and you should stop.

Coach Self would be like, “Did everyone make curfew last night? If you didn’t make curfew, raise your hand.” All of us that broke curfew kept our hands down — except B-Rush. He’d raise his hand and tell on himself. Coach Self would ask him why he didn’t make curfew and he’d say, “Because the club was crackin’!” Everyone would laugh and he’d make B-Rush run a little bit.
