I hate when they do that usually makes shows lose steam but this has got a pretty good following so im sure it will be fine.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

this show has been a massive disappointment so far. it is almost nearing 7 episodes and there has been very little plot movement. carl gets shot, sophia is missing. what other major points have been touched or even resolved? they should of kept it at 6 episode with movement like last season.

Yeah... we get it... the show is going too slow for you.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

Just caught up with y'all.

Lovin' Daryl more every episode. So glad that Merle isn't really back.



Man, MC called it!

I don't think Maggie knows who the well zombie was, although it's possible. I just think it relates to the whole attitude of the Herschel camp toward the walkers. It's the same with posting a lookout with a rifle - Herschel clearly feels that there is something wrong with killing them, and the show has done a good job dropping that information in small doses i.e. his speech to Rick about a cure, his wanting their guns, the discussion on posting an armed lookout, Maggie's reaction to their killing the well zombie, all of it tends to indicate that Herschel still thinks of them as savable. It's still very possible that Maggie did know the well zombie, since it's a farm community and everyone knows everyone, but I think it's more just that this little farm isn't quite accostumed to the full scale constant zombie killing that the others are.

Interesting thought on Maggies look and Herschel's reaction - I just took it that she thought Herschel wouldn't be happy about it (he seems pretty intent on keeping Rick's group away from his if possible) and she's an awful liar.

And now we know why Herschel didn't want them setting up by the barn.

Sophia was lost, Carl was shot, Shane became a murderer, Lori is pregnant, Daryl is awesome and there's a barn full of zombies waiting to be unleashed.

Have you heard of Ritalin? What about characterization?

Norman Reedus is the best... I hope someone makes a figure of him soon!

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

No, I'd shoot you in the leg and take the hit to my character.



Ok, I'm officially tired of hearing that the good things people are doing is out of selflessness. Take your words seriously, i.e. literally. The most selfless thing a person in this world could do right now is walk up to the closest zombie and offer them dinner.



Because the man was his best friend and he would be a selfless fool to abandon someone who meant that much to him.

I see what you did there.

Apparently, "Run. Kill zombies. Run some more. Kill more zombies. Run even more. Kill even more zombies." is the idiot's form of plot movement and character development.

Seriously guys, if you don't like this, toss on House of the Dead and put it on repeat. Uwe Boll is more your forté.

yeah thats my point. there are a lot of events going on but no main storyline to focus the show. the main focus seemed to be sophia but honestly the majority of watchers do not care about her anymore.

I hope Daryl doesn't go rogue. That would suck.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

Appealing to the opinions of others is hardly a demonstration of fact, and calling a man's profession pitiful is an insult, an attack, and rude.

Sophia getting lost has rendered all of the plot development thus far this season. It has been the catalyst for everything that has happened. It is not the plot. Finding her is irrelevant; looking for her is what has moved everything forward.

Plot is the progress of conflict towards its resolution (i.e., a climax). Up to this point, Sophia's absence has given definition to the an extreme conflict between Shane and Rick. If you want resolution, finding Sophia is not where its going to happen. If that is what is most important to you, then you're missing a hell of a lot of great drama, and the real climax is going to be completely lost on you.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

the conflict between rick and shane has been there since season 1. i don't mind sophia's disappearance leading the movement, but they take up so much time searching for her (unproductively) and it takes away from the other stuff that is going on.

the conversation between rick and shane in the previous episode was basically the same one they had in season 1. different topic, but same gist. we already known their conflict for a while now.

The conflict which has been there since the first scene is nowhere near the level it's at now. At first it was two friends, one of whom was jealous of the other's wife. At this point, it's two men, one of whom is willing to murder to be the one who can boast a superior ability to protect the lives of his friend's son and wife, thereby positioning himself as the one deserving of the son's loyalty and the wife's love, versus a man who will find alternatives to sacrificing others to keep them safe. It has brought to the surface the question of whether the rules of life have actually been changed by the apocalypse, or if they're the same as they ever were. Is the world a place where only the inhuman can survive, or is maintaining their humanity the key to their survival?

You don't get that from one guy wanting to ____ another guy's wife. Also, the only person who has been consistently looking for Sophia is Daryl, and that has evolved his character into one of the most sympathetic in the show, as well as creating a foil to Shane's amorality. No time has been wasted on the search, personally.
