That's one of the worst reposts I've ever seen.

That being said, I like the hordes we'll get this season.

Hopefully your friend is not the main character.. Cause that guy seemed lifeless in his acting, should of been a zombie.. And tell them to change the name..

Well this sucks! Frank Darabont stepping down as showrunner.......quality will most definately step down.

http://www.deadline.com/2011/07/walk...as-showrunner/

EXCLUSIVE: This is a quite a bombshell -- I have learned that Frank Darabont, the creator, executive producer and director of AMC's smash hit The Walking Dead, is stepping down as showrunner of the series, which is now in production on its upcoming second season. The news is even more surprising given the fact that Darabont was on hand for Walking Dead's Comic-Con panel just this past Friday alongside fellow executive producers Robert Kirkman, on whose graphic novel the series is based, and Gale Anne Hurd and appeared excited about Season 2. There is speculation that Darabont might be off the show completely, but I hear talks are still ongoing about him possibly staying on in some capacity. Darabont, who spent five years trying to get a TV version of the zombie saga off the ground and wrote and directed the AMC pilot, hails from the feature world, and I hear that he never quite adjusted to the daily grind of producing a TV series. Last December, he considered forgoing a writing staff for Season 2 and assigning scripts to freelancers but ultimately went for the traditional writing staff model recommended by the network and tapped Glen Mazzara as an executive producer and his No. 2. It is unclear if The Shield alum Mazzara, who has showrunning experience, would now step in to run Walking Dead. I hear that the behind-the-scenes turmoil has not affected production on the show, which continues as scheduled. Season 2 of Walking Dead is slated to premiere Oct. 16. In addition to huge ratings, the series has garnered awards recognition for its freshman season, including a best drama series Golden Globe nomination as well as DGA and WGA noms. In a Deadline Emmy Q&A last month, Darabont raved about his transition to television. "In TV, you have to get ideas across in a more economical way," he said. "But the process is fundamentally the same (as features), just accelerated. There’s no time for second guessing. The wheels are in constant motion. I love that about television. If I’d known how much fun it was, I’d have done it years ago."

Well, as long as they have good writers adapting it they should be fine, I think. But yeah, they could muck it up it without him. AMC seems to be more interested in doing quality work that most network schlock that's tailor made for advertisers and stars, so I'm optimistic.

Totally agree. I really like Darabont, but I don't think his departure necessarily means that the show will suffer.

**Baby Lee** · 07-27-2011, 01:51 PM

Suffer? This is one of the least impressive shows of last year [promise to delivery ratio-wise] over the course of the season. So many head scratching, go nowhere, plots. There were plenty moments of promise, but the quality careened wildly from scene to scene and episode to episode.

Ive got to disagree. I loved every minute of it, and it was pure quality top to bottom.

For me, it was more Falling Skies than Mad Men, quality-wise.

Didn't hate it, watched all of it, will watch the new season, just not gaga over it's overall quality.

jiveturkey · 07-27-2011, 02:12 PM

I have to agree with Baby Lee.

The first two episodes were great but then it looked like the budget fell out of it and it lost a lot of it's appeal.

I'm definitely interested in seeing the 2nd season though.

It did seem like they were sort of surprised that it made it past the first few episodes, somehow. As if they hadn't planned on making the last few and had to do what they could to pull it together.
I think it's significantly better than Falling Skies, though. It has flaws, but it's a quality show. Falling Skies is glossy hokey crap.

Couldn't agree more. Falling Skies has been a large scale disappointment.

**Bowser** · 07-27-2011, 02:28 PM

Hmmm. Now I'm happy that I never watched Falling Skies, even though I meant to.
