The writers for this show really just suck. They pick a random plot (something that is only a mere footnote in the comics) and run with it for weeks. IE the weeks and weeks of the governor war that was coming (for nobody to be shot and the assualt to just run away), and then this years episodes are mostly just filler.
I'm sure the LOST fanbois are loving it, but the show has really lost it's luster. [Reply]
Yeah, I was having a similar conversation with my wife. It started out decent enough, but then just grinded to a halt on the interest scale after the Terminus Survivor threat was over.
Id made a remark to her about how this was probably some test run to see how the fans react and how much interest are in the episodes without Rick, because I don't imagine that Andrew Lincoln wants to do Walking Dead forever. The guy has a lot of talent, and they had to have toyed with the twist of taking him out in the televised version more than once.
Ill tell you one thing, I like Norman Reedus as Daryl, but Andrew Lincoln is the driving force of this show for me. When he's not on the screen, everything else is just kinda meh.
Those 2 or 3 episodes where he didn't have a single scene just bored the ever living shit out of me. [Reply]
You know, in retrospect I've liked this season so far. It was a little, "meh" at times but for the most part, pretty entertaining. They seem to be telegraphing their story a little. We all knew that either Beth or Carol were toast. I would've pulled an audible and off'd someone else. Tyreese maybe?
At least they haven't pulled the shit they did in season two with the whole Sophia storyline. I can't do six weeks on a farm again. [Reply]
I'm glad Beth got capped she was a horrible actress and I really didn't care about the hospital plot line at all. I wish Rick went in there and wiped em all out
I'm just the opposite, I think Emily Kinney is a good actress [and very attractive] but the writing team felt they had to cliff hang with a senseless death. They might as well have thrown a dart at a wall of characters. Maybe they did. Lazy writing [Reply]

Oh but you can; the New Year's Day TWD Marathon!!!! You can relive the god-awful snail's pace of season two all over again. [Reply]
