amc The Walking Dead (Season 2)

[Ayepecks]

Best episode yet.

[Chaltalian]

Good episode tonight. I can't believe they let it end like that

(Rick Grimes' son getting shot)

though. Now I can't wait for next week's episode.

I'm kinda thinking Merle shot Rick's son as revenge for Rick leaving Merle behind to die. What do you think?

I'm kinda thinking Merle shot Rick's son as revenge for Rick leaving Merle behind to die. What do you think?

Its a good hypothesis, but was Merle capable of following the group for such a long time? Since we haven't heard from him since a long time ago, I think it might be a long shot. I think the person who shot the deer and Rick's son is one of the new characters of the season. And I want to know where the heck is Sophia, I thought we would at least know where she was by the end of the episode.

I didn't even realize it was over till it never came back after commercial. Kinda pi$$ed me off. Go Brewers!

[Joseph B]

The commercials the last 30 minutes of the show on AMC drove me crazy... 5 minutes of show then 7 minutes of "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BUY ME FOR X REASON BUH BUH BLAH BLAH"

[fmanchu]

I agree. I've noticed a lot of shows doing that lately.

Especially sitcoms 4 mins of show 4 mins of commercials.

[Doli]

The show is great.

the bing commerical

women typing on her phone:"Dating an actor"

zombie typing on his phone: "Eating an actor"

:laugh:

[DJD]

Episode kind of sucked, spending a whole 15 minutes of air time having characters speaking to a statue of Jesus is not exciting tv.

They stretched it out way to much.

I really enjoyed the episode. Seems more bloody than last year, but that ending, damn. I was expecting the deer to suddenly attack him, not what did happend

[GameOverRob]

Crap episode and terrible end of the episode with Rick's son getting shot.

[Mystic Mungis]

I really liked the new episode, I did feel a little bit let down but I know I had my expectations set way to high so I can't complain. However while watching it I did suddenly realise how drawn out things are in a TV show compared to a movie, I know thats pretty obvious but had never though about it before :p

It includes spoilers.

[Rappy Veteran]

meh it was a bit slow and a bit awful didn't feel like the show we left last year.

[Mekun]

If the show continues like this, i wont be watching it. Making people like the blonde lady and little girl act stupid doesn't add drama for me, just frustrating a mature lady can be so dumb and cant see the bigger picture in their dire situation.

too much drama

[TheLegendOfMart]

If you don't like it, jog on.

Sick of people saying "omg too much drama" to every fricking show, not every show has to be over the top ridiculous action set pieces, guns, explosions, etc..

The point of the show is the drama of humans surviving a zombie apocalypse, not every episode can be action action action action. Id prefer an episode full of story than an episode full of mindless violence.

[ATLien_0]

Exactly, i know you can please everyone with shows, but seriously people need to be patient. I've gotten so annoyed with people making up their minds after only one episode. The show is going to have drama, and always has

[Lilrich]

too much drama

It's an adaptation of a very successful comic book, it is not like they can just change the story?!

[Vice]

I thought it was a good opening episode I enjoyed it.

[briangw]

I think the people that feel it's too drama-ish need to consider the psychological parts of a zombie apocalypse. It's not a video game where you mow down as many zombies as possible; it's about survival both from the walkers and from/for each other. I think the drama adds to the suspense of the show. Just ask yourself 'what would I do in this situation?' I'm sure not to many people could hold it together in a setting such as that.

[Rappy Veteran]

I will probably watch episode 2 but wasn't gripped...but I know the story this season could be interesting...the end of episode preview looked awesome

army helicopters!

[spacer]

I think some of you are missing the point of some of those saying there is "too much drama". It's not that there is TOO much drama. It is that the drama that is there is caused by the characters being incredibly retarded and making stupid decisions.

True, the show is based off of a comic book, but that doesn't excuse the poor logic loop holes. The show should be and absolutely needs to be about the people and their reactions to the situation. That makes for great TV. However, the human drama is only good if it's believable. If it were just a mindless zombie killing show made by George Romero, then it would be boring.

[Guest]

I'd be happy with the drama aspect when someone pops a bullet through shaven head woman's head.

It's an adaptation of a very successful comic book, it is not like they can just change the story?!

They've changed the story completely, and the author of the comic has been suggesting that they go even further away from the comic if they want to.
