You should have just called it The Walking Thread.

Oh, by the way, for anyone who didn't read the letters, Kirkman admitted that it's entirely retarded that the characters haven't been able to figure out the exact date and time from devices like electric clocks/watches and presumably computers.

EDIT: Actually, going on from this, wouldn't there still be at least some computers with still working internet connections?

Why's that even matter though? Are they late for a meeting?

That always struck me as silly.

I gotta give him credit for the epilogue, too clever by half, Kirkman. That was really funny.

The show presents it in a much more unsavory way but her being a "slut" is probably you projecting.

None of what you said changes what I said, it remains to be seen whether the writing of that character will be spectacularly wretched and one-dimensional as we're only two episodes in.

Yeah, I agree. A more focused story would help ease some of the sort of "ambient boredom" the series has. Character interaction is cool and all, but pure survival can get very boring very fast.

A good example of a series that does it right is Y: The Last Man. Through the whole series there is always a concrete objective, and the characters work to achieve it. Sometimes in Walking Dead, like right after the prison, where the characters were just aimlessly wandering about, it was just a trial.

Y: The Last Man also had a good writer and a story to tell, with a beginning, middle and end.

Every time I see the thread title I think it says "The Walking Thread".

I suggested that on the first page of this thing and still maintain that's what it should be called.

The stupidest thing this book can do is become Crossed so that's what I'm expecting.

If it became as good as Wish You Were here, that would be a considerable step up.
