I'm not really all that invested in The Walking Dead in any case so I don't mind reading the spoilers. In a way you've actually just freed up an hour of my life I can spend reading a book, or doing my laundry, or staring meaningfully at a piece of artwork while breathlessly rubbing myself through my trouser pocket so I suppose I should thank you.

Spoiler for Pete....turn away, for the love of Jebus and everything right in the world.:
It would be very interesting if Merle came back somehow (alive or otherwise) and threw a kink in Daryl's life and his position in the group. It's got to happen at some point.

I think you hit the nail on the head with Shane. Shane is pretty annoying as well. He should be dead by now. :/

Oh, and I had to chuckle when T-Dog finally got to speak, and Dale cut him off...haha. Poor guy is never gonna get any action.

What do you think of Carl's character and the direction he's taking?

Spoiler for No! Bad Pete!:
Heh. Yeah, that part with T-Dog was pretty funny. I really hope they start doing more with his character soon though.

As far a Carl goes, I don't know what to make of it. Hopefully he doesn't start going completely psycho on them.

I assume Merle IS coming back at some point. I'm pretty surprised he isn't back already but I'm assuming he's going to show up as the leader of that group of 30 in the season finale or at the beginning of next season.

Spoiler for the walking dead:

I think Carl is losing his humanity. He is beginning to become reckless, maybe even psychopathic. I think being responsible for Dale's death is going to have an impact on him though.

It's interesting to note that Carl didn't really seem upset about Dale until he saw it was the same zombie that he failed to kill.

Will this means he snaps out of the psychotic behavior or will it only make it worse?

Honestly all this he is becoming this and should do that is boring the living hell out of me. (get it?) The first 6 episodes were like a good zombie show/movie should be. Lots of action, moving around, zombies, and less feelings. Zombies and cities....? best ocmbination ever, to bad we havnt seen a real city since season 1 beginning. CDC?... awesome and exciting. The god damned farm has been the downfall of the show. I may as well be watching a soap opera on channel 2. The only reason Im still wathcing it is because

1. maybe they will wise up with enough complains and actually move it along.

2. i have spent way to much time watching it to just stop now.

Man, I think that sums up people's issues with this show.

Zombie fans want gore and action.

I'm a huge fan of network and cable dramas though so having one that happens to be set in the zombie Apocalypse with great acting and cinematic direction is like having one continuous orgasm throughout the show.

Dont get me wrong I want some drama with character development, I just think it has a time and place. 4/5th's of a apocalyptic zombie takeover is not the place or time. If the show would have started like that I would understand but the first season was almost like an entirely different show.

It is interesting that the slowed pace and fixed location of the second season mirrors the second season of Lost. Whereas the first season of that show was more fast paced and about practical elements of survival, the second season focused mainly on the hatch and the character's relationships inside of it, much like Hershel's farm.

Doesn't mean anything, just found it interesting.

I hear that since the original showrunner left, can't be assed to remember his name, the show is picking up the pace again. Although he crafted the initial six episodes to be more action oriented, they say it was him who wanted to drag out some of the plot elements in the second season's first half.

Janszoon 03-05-2012 11:54 PM

I have no problem at all with the pacing. If they had kept up the pace of the first season into the second there'd be nobody left alive. So far there's been plenty of drama on the farm to keep me interested, though I do think they need to take season three elsewhere.

That's an interesting point about the second season of Lost Conan. It would be great if, in keeping with the Lost parallel, they did a season further down the line that mostly took place in the past, explaining the origins of the outbreak.
