i just blitzed seasons 4 and 5 and then read this entire thread and oh my god Walking Dead is loving rubbish and i can't stop watching as i need to know who dies next god drat

For research I just rewatched S1E1 and it is half decent. It's amusing seeing Rick looking so cleancut. However bit weird seeing the Walkers trying to open the top of the tank, as opposed to their aimless meandering we see them do.

Also put me down as someone who thinks it was great Season 1 and then got worse and worse

Same. When Darabont was running things was literally the only time the show was GOOD.

I enjoyed Season 4 and the beginning of Season 5 enough, but I thought this episode was really boring and bad. That's my intriguing story.

Last season's excuse was "there's nothing else to do" which is funny because there's always video games or pooping or closing your head in a door.

There's usually a good ep or two a season. The rest are comically bad. Nothin' else on Sundays so why not. Gotta watch something while the laundry dries.

Except for the pilot, which mostly owned, the frank darabont episodes are the worst episodes of the show. I might even call them frank daradont episodes.

Because this show doesn't have to be poo poo and there's brief moments where I feel like it's finally not gonna be poo poo and well there's nothing else on tv that I am watching at the moment

It comes from mostly good and interesting source material and every time they get close to mirroring it its good but for some reason they don't try and do that as much as they should

Logically, it should be. They're deciding to go to DC, which was his idea, so he should be taking the lead on what to do now.

But this is The Walking Dead, so that probably won't happen. :(

None of those are as fun as watching a show try and be artsy and mature in the most immature way possible.


Pooping is okay though.

Yeah, I suppose a show that's supposed to last however many seasons where the characters grow is supposed to go from first meeting to final product in one season. Then they can focus on breeding the perfect race

Those first 6 episodes were pretty weak, it got better though in the second season. CDC guy had like the best base ever, but he decided it should be exploded instead.

Ok, here's my question. Why can't they find any game around? Surely, the deer population couldn't have gone extinct in the past two years. I can't imagine that a zombie could catch a deer unless it was wounded/stuck, so there should still be plenty of them around.
