Hey, it occurs to me that if I were to post a defense of The Walking Dead in this here thread, I would be as guilty as someone who goes into a YAY WALKING DEAD thread and posts how much they hate it.

EXACTLY!
though there are only a few that go by that stance though!
otherwise this board would be one giant love fest if people couldn't post opposing opinions within a thread.

Man, the only good zombie movie/show ever made was the 1991 remake of Night of the Living Dead. The only reason it was good was because it delved into the human mind and watching a mild mannered housewife turn into a cold blooded killer with no remorse seemed natural and insightful.

All these other zombie shows and movies are complete crap.

Did I offend you by expressing my dislike for the repetitive Zombie movie genre?

I can't help it that most zombie movies suck. The aforementioned Night of the Living Dead is the one I liked most. Then there was 28 days later which was pretty good. Then there's the Evil Dead series which I don't consider zombie movies at all.

Besides that, name a zombie movie that was good? They all have crappy characters nobody cares about and the only reason anybody watches them is for exaggerated gore and carnage and cheap scares.

Second season has been horrible. It's way too slow and instead of an hour per episode they could make it 15 minutes and tell the same story. So much useless crap. Plot is moving way too slow.

I'm glad you mentioned 28 Days Later, I liked that one. I was a fan of Dawn of the Dead, I thought they did some things really well, but being atmospheric is a far cry from making you think, so in that respect it wasn't all that good.

I saw one episode of The Walking Dead and nothing really happened. I felt like taking a nap, and I never get sleepy with a television on. It was THAT slow. Maybe I just saw a bad episode...

Then it wasn't the pilot episode. That sucked me in hard. plain shame_on_you

I wasn't all that thrilled of the first half of season 2...but I really enjoyed the mid-season finale, and like where the first 2 episodes of the second half are going.

Try it again from the start...and make your way through 2.0

2.5 is looking really interesting.

How can they not find guns in the redneck South? He had to ride a horse into the middle of the zombie hoard to get a couple guns? There should be an arsenal in every other house in Georgia. And why not wear body armor or at least football gear to protect against bites? And how about night vision scopes? Every good camera shop has those. So many holes.

I like the walking dead, BUT I dislike the filler drama. the show is called the walking dead, it's about the damn zombies not the soap opera drama.

that's one thing I am disliking about the walking dead, falling skies and terra nova. they have these great settings, but decide to clutter up the series with soap opera drama that frankly kills the setting (not so much Falling Skies, it's been pretty good with less drama crap.) All in an attempt to draw in a wider audience.

It's like when SciFi said they want to get away from Science Fiction and diversify their audience and became Syfy, and it became wrestling and suckie non scifi shows.

Why don't you go back to watching your Toddlers and Tiaras and leave the rest of us to enjoy the small bits of remotely ok TV left.


Though I've never seen it, I'm sure Toddler & Tiaras is a better show than The Walking Dead.

I like the walking dead, BUT I dislike the filler drama. the show is called the walking dead, it's about the damn zombies not the soap opera drama.

that's one thing I am disliking about the walking dead, falling skies and terra nova. they have these great settings, but decide to clutter up the series with soap opera drama that frankly kills the setting (not so much Falling Skies, it's been pretty good with less drama crap.) All in an attempt to draw in a wider audience.

It's like when SciFi said they want to get away from Science Fiction and diversify their audience and became Syfy, and it became wrestling and suckie non scifi shows.


DID YOU EVEN CONSIDER THAT MAYBE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALIVE ARE ACTUALLY THE WALKING DEAD?!?!?! SORRY FOR YELLING I JUST FIGURED OUT THAT THIS COULD BE TRUE!!!!!


Considering that almost all if not all of them are going to die, then yes. They are the walking dead and they don't even know it yet. There's also plenty of pretty much nameless characters at the farm that they can kill off by season's end.

I enjoyed the first season with a couple of exceptions.

I'm 3 episodes into season 2 and am having trouble motivating myself to continue.

God forbid they slow things down a bit to try and develop some characters and relationships. Would you rather just have had them stay in Atlanta and shoot zombies all day until they ran out of ammo and died? Wouldnt have been very smart....

And screw all the heartless idiots who complained about how long they searched for Sophia. I found that to be very realistic that they refused to give up even considering the circumstances.

The last 2 episodes have been fantastic and its only going to get better as the season comes to an end. But if you're just another ADD American then go find something else to watch.

I would rather them follow the comic a bit more...actually move things along a little bit.

I'll admit I never read the comic, but I did read up on the basic plot of it and how the show has deviated. Shane being the big part of that so far. But comic characters are easier to bring in, kill off, replace, etc. Having a show with the same faces each week is more important sometimes. I think the major portion of the character development is about done with and we'll start seeing some of the crazy stuff that comes up in the comics.

You shut your dirty communist whore mouths this show is better than 90% of the crap on tv. Or do you just want 500 channels of Jersey shore...... Oh you probably do you dirty skank.




Ok i still love you guys but this show really is better than 90% of other thing on tv .

I'm a Dual citizen. but hey at least I'm not a stinking foreigner who makes general asinine assumptions.

oh wait I am that too... except for the stinking part.... damn

:P

I don't watch Soap operas for a reason. I don't like to see a show with an interesting premise filled with garbage soap opera drama simply to try to garner a wider audience which is what I feel a lot of the shows I like are doing.

Did I offend you by expressing my dislike for the repetitive Zombie movie genre?

I can't help it that most zombie movies suck. The aforementioned Night of the Living Dead is the one I liked most. Then there was 28 days later which was pretty good. Then there's the Evil Dead series which I don't consider zombie movies at all.

Besides that, name a zombie movie that was good? They all have crappy characters nobody cares about and the only reason anybody watches them is for exaggerated gore and carnage and cheap scares.


I'm glad you mentioned 28 Days Later, I liked that one. I was a fan of Dawn of the Dead, I thought they did some things really well, but being atmospheric is a far cry from making you think, so in that respect it wasn't all that good.

I saw one episode of The Walking Dead and nothing really happened. I felt like taking a nap, and I never get sleepy with a television on. It was THAT slow. Maybe I just saw a bad episode...


Then it wasn't the pilot episode. That sucked me in hard. plain shame_on_you

I wasn't all that thrilled of the first half of season 2...but I really enjoyed the mid-season finale, and like where the first 2 episodes of the second half are going.

Try it again from the start...and make your way through 2.0

2.5 is looking really interesting.






Hmm, I should give it another chance

Not a good show, but it's still in the top 10, if not to 5 of things airing currently. TV sucks.

I rather enjoy the show. I just wished they would slow it down some and concentrate on character development more.

The latest episode was still slow from a plotline point of view, but it had a LOT more zombie action than most of the series so far.

And for zombie movies, as my beloved Shaun of the Dead has already been mentioned, then I counter with Zombieland. I mean, what could be a better guy-flick than a movie where halfway through they sit down to watch Ghostbusters?!?!

Always double-tap, brothers.
