12 episode "mini" series.

If it's only 12 hours, he won't make it through the entire day. OH NOES!

I hope they fulfil one of my dreams in this series. Show Jack Bauer taking a dump during one of the multi-shot countdown scenes.

:laughing: I didn't mean to sound so nasty; I just don't understand why they all think he's so beautiful.

Oh my goodness! Kindred spirits! I thought I was the only female who does not find Benedict Cumberbatch unattractive.

Having said that though, I do enjoy him as an actor.

Haha I'm sorry but I've heard this before and it always makes me laugh. It isn't a zombie apocalypse show, it's a show set during a zombie apocalypse. There is a difference. Maybe that's difficult to understand and/or seems kinda ludicrous if you don't watch it or haven't followed it but the main themes of the show have been adapting, interacting with people, survival and morality and how the apocalypse affects and changes all of those things. How and why the rules change in such a setting. Therefore relationships and major life events are key to the plot of the show, and so I find the soap opera comparison way off the mark.

George Romero is the man who famously called it a soap opera, and he hasn't made anything zombie related worthy of any credit for a long, long time. I'll listen to anything he has to say when he directs another zombie film that isn't terrible.

I like 24. I can't help it. It's exciting and it's addictive. But I'd agree that the first two or three seasons were the best. The first one was the best by far and then it has been all downhill from there for the most part. It isn't particularly artistically brilliant or anything, but it's a fun action fix if I decide to overlook any holes in it.

This isn't unpopular

I have given the show a few chances yet it never seems like it's going anywhere. And you gotta admit the show looks like it's going to be all about Zombies, especially the way it's advertised. I get that it's supposed to be all about the survival stuff but that doesn't make it any less boring to me. I've seen upto midway season 3 and i just gave up. It feels like the show is always building up yet nothing really ever happens.

I usually like dialogue and character driven shows but TWD is just very meh to me. It also helps if the characters are interesting and like able, which I don't really get with the show.

Well than this I am glad for, considering the amount of Cumberbatch love I'm exposed to daily on Tumblr.

Well yes, most people would watch it for the first time thinking 'ZOMBIES!'. Of course. And not everyone's gonna like it. If you dont like it then fair enough.

My point was that it isn't a soap opera. That's all.
