The Walking Dead

I'm not really all that invested in The Walking Dead in any case so I don't mind reading the spoilers. In a way you've actually just freed up an hour of my life I can spend reading a book, or doing my laundry, or staring meaningfully at a piece of artwork while breathlessly rubbing myself through my trouser pocket so I suppose I should thank you.

Honestly all this he is becoming this and should do that is boring the living hell out of me. (get it?) The first 6 episodes were like a good zombie show/movie should be. Lots of action, moving around, zombies, and less feelings. Zombies and cities....? best ocmbination ever, to bad we havnt seen a real city since season 1 beginning. CDC?... awesome and exciting. The god damned farm has been the downfall of the show. I may as well be watching a soap opera on channel 2. The only reason Im still wathcing it is because

1. maybe they will wise up with enough complains and actually move it along.

2. i have spent way to much time watching it to just stop now.

Man, I think that sums up people's issues with this show.

Zombie fans want gore and action.

I'm a huge fan of network and cable dramas though so having one that happens to be set in the zombie Apocalypse with great acting and cinematic direction is like having one continuous orgasm throughout the show.

Dont get me wrong I want some drama with character development, I just think it has a time and place. 4/5th's of a apocalyptic zombie takeover is not the place or time. If the show would have started like that I would understand but the first season was almost like an entirely different show.

It is interesting that the slowed pace and fixed location of the second season mirrors the second season of Lost. Whereas the first season of that show was more fast paced and about practical elements of survival, the second season focused mainly on the hatch and the character's relationships inside of it, much like Hershel's farm.

Doesn't mean anything, just found it interesting.

I hear that since the original showrunner left, can't be assed to remember his name, the show is picking up the pace again. Although he crafted the initial six episodes to be more action oriented, they say it was him who wanted to drag out some of the plot elements in the second season's first half.

I have no problem at all with the pacing. If they had kept up the pace of the first season into the second there'd be nobody left alive. So far there's been plenty of drama on the farm to keep me interested, though I do think they need to take season three elsewhere.

That's an interesting point about the second season of Lost Conan. It would be great if, in keeping with the Lost parallel, they did a season further down the line that mostly took place in the past, explaining the origins of the outbreak.
