The Walking Dead

[ElCapichan]

a lot of people on the internet at looking at all these moments that are a little odd and are now thinking it's part of a story thread about how these zombies are different in some way.

These people are thinking about it way too much then.

Walking Dead (the comic) is about the horrible results of attempting to not die in a world overrun by zombies. I'm not expecting the show to be about anything more than that. As the comic has shown, there's a lot of really great stories to tell within that framework.

I like how the zombies in the comic are just kind of there as a constant threat and never actually do anything other than show up and fuck things up.

Rewatching the premiere. Rick wastes walkie talkie batteries by talking to himself for an hour and Daryl is riding the loudest vehicle possible down the highway. Only 3 minutes in

That walkie talkie dialogue was garbage.

It's called a "recap". Still, it did suck pretty hard. They should have dropped the attempt at drama and gone for "Previously, on Walking Dead..."

Speaking of zombies, anyone else watching Death Valley?

Last night's episode shows what happens when you have a character-driven episode without interesting characters. I don't give two shits about this kid.

Last nights episode confirmed my belief that Rick is the worst character on this show and Daryl is the best.

[Diff-chan]

I think they all suck. I liked that the blonde girl showed a bit of grit in episode 1 but that was all gone in episode 2.

I really don't know what they were thinking with this episode, especially after the very good first episode (STFU). I'm worried about the rest of the year.

Shane having to convince Rick not to abandon his dying son just so that he could tell Lori he was dying was the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
