His character is terrible.

The best thing that could happen is his face getting eaten.

They never should have killed off the latino father.

The latino father, the white mother, and the black guy that owned the boat were the most interesting characters....

You have more fortitude than I. I didn't even know they killed off the dad, couldn't stick with it even that long.

I haven't even watched this season. That's what I think of it.

I like this show. TWD has become too cartoonish. There, I said it. Don't talk to me, I'm not cool.

Who's the protagonist? If it's Johnny Schlepp, nobody can identify with him.
This show's like the Star Wars prequels. It's doomed.

I think right now they are stuck in a rut of hoping that subtext will be clear enough to overcome utter boredom.

I can see where they're trying to tell a different zombie story where religiosity imposes a radically different reaction from the 'hunker down and survive' ethos of the flagship show.

But in practical terms, it's just a bunch of pleasant looking people moping around and furrowing their brows, punctuated by some batshit crazy, and largely unexplained, decisions, like rounding up zombies for future resurrection, or ritually sacrificing the weak in hopes of spiritual protection.

They are breaking their own rules of the show ffs.


In the prison, and Alexandria, the walkers pile up on the fence. On this pile of shit show, the zombies just stumble around aimlessly, even though there are a shitload of people ****ing around just on the other side of a chain link fence. Shouldn't they be trying to get to the people?

I kind of wish Alicia would become a female Rick, gather up folks from the Hotel (excluding Mom who drives me crazy) and go off on a quest for safety. Everyone else in the family needs to get eaten.

This show also needs a Daryl character badly...

Hell, it needs a lot of things. Comparing this to season 1 & 2 of TWD is just painful.

It needs a pro-to-gon-nist.

I gave up on this show. I had the first 3 eps of the second half DVR'd and just didn't care to watch them. Deleted them last night.
[Reply]

Huh? Interesting. I have found this season to be much better than the first one. Granted, that wasn't hard to pull off, but I've actually kind of enjoyed the first few episodes. Still not even close to 1/3 as good as the worst episode of the original
[Reply]

Yep, this show is drek. Not in any way redeemable and a total disappointment. Hard to believe the writing is so horrendous. How do you fuck up so badly with such an easy formula?!?
[Reply]

They wanted to make it different than TWD.
[Reply]

And fucked up in the process. Someone was wearing their bad idea jeans that day.

I look at it like this, not to give Kirkman too much credit, but he slaved over the graphic novel for years. Then AMC gave him a buttload of money to make 'something like that' on a network schedule.

Kind of like seeing Van Gogh's Starry Night and telling him 'I like that, make me one, only with Mexican overtones.' He might try, but it will be a derivative, half-assed effort compared to the original work of passion.
