amc The Walking Dead (Season 2)

[Ayepecks]

The acting and situations some of these characters are acting in are just horrible. While a great show, there is a ton that the actors need to work on.

Really? I don't like the lead actor, but other than him I quite enjoy most of them.

The lead is horrible. Last night just before the ending, his screaming of " You're killing us!" was more annoying than if they had a little girl doing it. I like the boondock saints dude, and the blond older sister. But a lot of the other actors emotions and lines just seem so fake, horrible, or out of place.

And why did that one sister take like 8 hours to turn, while everyone else turned in like 5 minutes? lol

HAHA, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who always thinks of that when I see him. He's definitely my favorite.

I'm not sure what you mean about turning. I don't remember them showing anyone else turning before that point.

The trailer for next week looks good, but I'll cry if it ends up being a direct rip of the UK show survivors, i.e crazy scientist kidnaps other survivors in order to continue his/her research.

Morgan's wife took 'days' to turn.

[ViperAFK]

Yeah nowhere in the show did anyone take only minutes to turn.

[Rappy Veteran]

Yeah Jim took a couple of days, well it seemed a couple of days

Why the hell didn't they ever mention Merle? Daryl didn't even leave a note for him...

stupid.

That's what I'm asking, though -- why is that dumb? It seems like a probable outcome of the situation, I think. I'm surprised no other zombie movie has depicted something like that. Gangs generally rely on each other, and you'd think something as catastrophic as a zombie outbreak would cause that reliance to increase.

Obviously the idea of gangs in such a senario is probable. And even the premise(

Latino group posing as gang-bangers to protect elderly relatives

) I could maybe buy. But it's the hammy, cheap way in which the whole sequence played out. I mean what was Rick actually planning to do when they were all at a stand off? The writing here was just dreadful, it felt like such a cop out.

The acting and situations some of these characters are acting in are just horrible. While a great show, there is a ton that the actors need to work on.

I am not too bothered about the actors really, but the forced dialogue and seemingly endless sappy emotional crap is so tiring to watch. Someones crying in every damn scene and I just don't care for any of them... even with gentle piano music in the background.

I have been thinking about buying the comic book has anyone here read it? I can't wait for next year to know what happens, but I the same time I dont want to spoil it lol.

I've read the first book and it won't spoil much as the show deviates ALOT from the comic, and seems to go in a whole other direction. It's certainly nothing amazing, the writing can be rough and corny at times, but it's decent enough.

"You know what we need... is some Rope." :whistle:

Awesome last episode, they're definately leaving it to the last episode for Merl to return, i can see him returning to camp before that guy and his kid and taking the directions.. Cant wait for the final ep :D

[Detective]

If they were scared of blood then the annoying blonde wouldn't have shot her sister when she was face to face with her mouth open. :blink:

That was my guess. I thought that that would be the easiest reply, if they had to give any.

As Solid Knight said, it's just a show.

They also didn't pick up M4s. :p

Agreed.

Yes, for a character that previously played an important role, it's ridiculous that he didn't even get a mention.

Hey, at least the author is overseeing the series. :p

I wonder how you are all watching the show. Some of you list your location as UK, Australia, Norway. Has this show been syndicated yet?

Yep its on FX over here :)

Am I the only person wondering why they don't have silenced weapons? It would be perfect against the walkers.

[hkgonra]

First season is only 6 episodes? That is worst than the mid-season crap they pull on SyFy.

Exactly what I was thinking, whatever happened to shows have 20+ episodes in a season ?!

[ViperAFK]

Because they didn't happen to come across a bag of silencers? :whistle:

FXHD yo! :D

a lot of first seasons are 6 eps.. then, when they get recommissioned, there are longer seasons.

Frank Darabont has let go of the writers on the hot freshman AMC series, which has already renewed for a second season. That includes Darabont's No.2, writing executive producer Charles ?Chic? Eglee. Writer turnover on series between seasons is commonplace but wholesale overhauls are unusual. What's more, I hear Darabont is looking to forgo having a writing staff for the second season of Walking Dead altogether and assign scripts to freelancers. Darabont, who hails from the feature world with The Young Indiana Jones as the only series credit before Walking Dead, ended up writing 2 of the first season's 6 episodes of Walking Dead - the pilot and the second episode - and co-writing/rewriting the other 4. Two of those 4 were written by non-staff writers, one by executive producer Robert Kirkman, on whose comics the series is based, and one by Glen Mazzara. Sources tell me that no final decision has been made yet with all options open, including using some combination of a writing staff/freelances.

Lets hope this shakes things up a bit.

[Mathachew Veteran]

First two episodes were the best so far. Sure, the end of the last two was great, but getting to that point was slow, hardly enough to say the entire episode was great, which has been my biggest gripe: many scenes feel drawn out.

I'm still enjoying it though, but I hope every episode isn't slow moving and drawn out.

[Rappy Veteran]

would be good to have a different writer for an episode because then we can tell who can write good drama and who clearly can't, that being said the writers from this season haven't been awful.

Even so silencers don't really silence the sound. It just makes the volume lower. It doesn't stop attracting "geeks", (was it?) it just attracts less.

[Massiveterra]

Imagine you were Frank Darabont and you had to rewrite all of the scripts. I would fire the entire staff as well.
