Who's Rick?
I think he's a character they introduced long ago, but thought it would be better to focus on other stories...
Ah, Gotcha 
Come on guys. There's been plenty of good Rick storylines. His gardening is fascinating for example.

2 of the most pointless episodes ever. I think this will be last season of TWD for sure.
I have enjoyed these last two. Especially this weeks.

"Don't be an idiot now"
Are you being serious? You must be the first to admit this.
I think it says a lot that I've simply read what happened in the episode, rather than watch it. Let me know when the inevitable showdown occurs, then it might get interesting.
These latest episodes are annoying. I'm dying to know how the other group have survived having heavy colds and elderberry tea.
Yeah, I think the guvnor is a great character. Loved it how he turned back into old self this week. Really enjoyed it
hi folks - where are you watching this???
was using 1channel but it is now blocked I think

The governor was a shit character but I like the idea behind the last two episodes. At least they are attempting to give him some depth besides Vague Threat To Rick's Group.
I enjoyed this weeks. I do enjoy you lot picking up on plot holes a lot more though.
I love how the time it takes for a dead person to become a zombie basically varies on whatever is the most convenient for the storyline to progress.

The TV just like the comics has gotten way too repetitive and boring.
I don't like this type of argument. Yes we know it's about zombies and we have to suspend our disbelief to get past that point. However that doesn't give them a licence to keep throwing in implausible or unrealistic stuff. And if they can't build their story around situations that would be plausible considering the circumstances, then they shouldn't be writing a zombie-apocalypse series in the first place. Who wants to see another supplies errand anyway?
I wouldn't really mind if it was implausible and silly and the characters will stupid, if the setting was less serious and real than they're trying to make it. They're trying to invoke a sense of realism into a zombie apocolypse and therefore people are going to be far more critical of shit characters and stupid plotholes.
I felt like those walkers stuck in the mud. Wading through these shite episodes, waiting for the episode where the shit hits the fan and we finally get some sort of progress or resolution for some characters (from the promo next weeks looks action packed so it could be a great one, but hey we've been burned before)
I didn't think this show could get much worse. It's gone back to S1 quality, i'm pretty sure the writers are spending 5mins brainstorming each episode. It takes a lot for me to give up a show, but I think i'm done after the finale.
I think more like season two would be a fairer assessment.
I dunno, the last few episodes of S1 were shocking. But I don't remember any of S2, was that the Farm and Barn?
It is admittedly pretty forgettable. Spending half a season looking for Sophia, while she is a zombie in the barn the whole time, tops whatever season one has conjured up (in a negative way) mind you.
I dunno, the science lab thing that had some kind of self destruct was pretty fecking special writing.
Not a chance. It is a ratings juggernaut.
I don't get it with this show, absolutely everywhere I go, it's just gets endlessly buried, but the thread is always huge and people just continue to watch it to get angry at it. It's insane.
And yeah, it's probably going on for years, 5m viewers is good for AMC, forget cancelling it when it's nearing on 20m viewers at times. Bonkers.

When it's good, it can be really fecking good. (I still think that the Walking Dead pilot is up there as one of the best in TV ever). Even when it's just standard zombie killing it's very watchable, as zombies are cool.
Sadly it's 90% utter dross. But I'll still watch it for the hell of it.
I don't think you will find anyone in this thread who is actually angry at the show. Part of the enjoyment of watching this show for me now is coming to this thread to pick it apart and point out the flaws.
Without the readers of the graphic novel spoiling it for us - where is this show headed? There hasn't been any mention of a cure for ages now. They are just content to grow vegetables in the prison yard and loot and kill each other.
The cure ha already been found, we're just waiting for The Guvna's episodes to be over. Captain Whitebeard's Elderberry Tea Elixir is the cure.
When everyone picks something apart......is really still fun? -_-
Though the Honest Trailer still made me laugh somehow.

Season 2 had a couple of good moments. Shane killing the fat guy in order to escape the medical place. The Farm being overrun at the end and Rick vs Shane tensions. It was a bit silly that the kid was in the barn the whole time though, and it did get tedious quite a bit!
With this new group there's a whole slew of new people to die stupidly and for us to not give a feck about. I'm going to quit watching if either of the lezzas dies. I don't want to experience an apocalypse without scissoring fadge-slurpers.
If only this was on HBO, they'd be muff diving long before now.
all this shit with gov'nor is in the comic as well?
im not reading the comic... i just want to know if the tv show is following the comic as it is or they start to change stuff...
ps. so i know who to blame...
What part of no comic talk didn't you understand?
someone woke up with a stick up his arse this morning...
I still haven't seen why this show is so popular. Is it because zombies are the cool/in thing at the moment?
The comic is pretty poor too. They diverge quite a bit, unfortunately many of the aspects the TV series changed have made it worse.
