Walking Dead

Bit of a weak final episode, but the penultimate one was good. It's the only series that I've bothered watching for a while, so it's not doing too badly. When's the next series due out?

just sat down and watched it all back to back.

i enjoyed it. up to a point.

great opening and it kept me going all the way up to the zombie attack at the camp.

after that it kinda lost pace.

i think the problem is the what next factor. what do you do next?

from what i read about the comics i kinda don't like the sound of it because i don't really like the character stuff getting too nasty i prefer the pulling together rather than pulling apart. i guess thats why i really like all the stuff from the tank escape to the hostange situation. it was clever it had dramatic tention but it also had people at odds coming together.
 
I'm not really a fan of the zombie genre. I'm not interested in a film about killing zombies. I do have a bit of a thing for post apocalyptic drama, though. So it was those aspects I liked most. For that reason, the last episode was the best for me. The second last one, too.

I get that there needs to be a threat, but once you've established that, I don't need to see zombie death splatter every 5 minutes.
 
I was disappointed that they deviated from the comic plot pretty early on but came round to enjoy it as something standalone-ish

kinda interesting in that is almost the complete reverse from me. personally i found i didn't connect to the drama of the situation perhaps because i felt very emotionally disant from the characters. the drama of the first episode worked well as we were still exploring the world with the main character and trying to work out the rules of this new world and after that we had the whole raiding the city plot which had real structure in the get in and get out and trying to work out how to do it.
i really just didn't get on with the wandering around trying to work out what to do stuff and the contemplating the end of the world stuff. i felt it's ok as part of the plot but i still want structure to the episode i felt after the bits in the city it was just charactor interaction and i didn't think the characters were good enough for that.
 
For an opening episode to season two I was a tad underwhelmed - I don't want to post spoilers so shall leave it at that, for now.

Yeah it was a bit 'oh', some good scenes but it just seemd 'stuck together' as opposed to a moving story, so to speak... Disjointed sort of.
 
far too long between series a think like. totally forget about the even the last episode of the first series befor the second comes on...where are the day of star trek next generation and so on just knockng episodes out for fun...
 
Enjoyed it, but yeah nothing amazing.

The idea that you'd let your small child walk towards something that spooks easily and has fuck off great antlers didn't strike me as terribly clever, even before the kid got shot

Sara Tancredi is consistently annoying as ever - "stay away from my son"... "why are you being distant towards my son?" :facepalm:

Best character is the redneck with the crossbow, he's like Locke from Lost without the angst :D

Sky Plussing the friday night showing on FX HD (so pretty :D), ploughing through BSG, HIMYM and TBBT at the mo as well, so don't need to be US-pace.

Hopefully the spoilers will be contained :mad:
