Not sure if anyone else brought this up about the whole deer / Carl shooting but how / why the hell did tubby "shoot" a deer with a gun when there are walkers around? Why wasn't he using a bow and arrow or a crossbow?0

there's a difference between watching a good drama and wanting to watch a soap opera. I dig tv death scenes, but if that's all it's going to be moving forward, I'll probably move on.

Well, they just have to keep the balance. Because on the opposite side of the coin is a show that gets so caught up in all the drama and personal relationships that it might as well not be taking place in the zombie apocalypse. There are lots of dramas on TV, but only one zombie apocalypse show, so I think they need to be careful not to neglect that aspect of the show."See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"0 -

I just need to be more invested in each character then i am now. I don't relate to many of them well. Like others have said you can't have a show just about killing zombies and have it an all out action event. That won't last on TV. For most people it gets old.
the draw is the psychology of those left alive. I like the conversation between Cop and Doctor (or VEt) about the cure or lack there of.
Its doing a pretty good job at this point hopefully they will continue.
I have not watched the talking dead yet. Is it any good? Felicia Day is going to be on it next week so I know i'll tune in for that.Charlotte 00 | Charlotte 03 | Asheville 04 | Atlanta 12 | Greenville 16 | Columbia 16 |Seattle 18 | Nashville 22 | Ohana Festival 24 x2 | Atlanta 25 x20 -

The show is a little annoying (the host), but they had the guy who wrote the books on the last two weeks, and it was interesting to hear what he has to say. And he did say there is some killing comming up soon....got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...0 -

I don't know, I'll probably keep watching it just to get some questions answered, and see some behind the scenes stuff, but something about the show kind of irks me. It's like... you know those infomercials that pretend to be a talk show? And the guy is like "thanks for having me on your 'show' " and all that. I kind of get that vibe off Talking Dead sometimes. It's clearly meant to hype the show and entice people to watch the next one, and AMC put this thing together but the creator (who will apparently be on every episode either in person or via Satellite) is like "thanks for having me on". And there's something that's just so awkward about the whole thing."See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"0 -
Oh by the way, I just found this, and I don't know if it's been brought up, but there is a Walking Dead video game in the works...

Last Christmas , My mother in law bought us one from skymall.
So we Have a zombie in the backyard! The next door neighboors keep planting a line of trees to they don't have to see it. My contractors would not work w/o putting a towel over it.
I named him Neville, about Richard Matheson's "I am Legend " character Robert.

Well, the Season 2 premiere smashed the ratings records for basic cable dramas, and had double the ratings of the NLCS. It was the second highest rated show on basic cable for the entire week, only being beaten by Monday Night Football. So I think they know to get on top of it now and not wait around."See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"0 -

They can definitely bring in new characters. They are going to have to.. and change some of the existing characters to make it interesting. We need some shocking deaths and new heroes.0 -
So a few posts back, you guys mentioned the conversation about a potential cure _ the one Rick and the vet had. Which made me think back to the CDC scene, when Rick was talking with the doomed researcher Dr. Jessup. (Was that his name? Jessup, like the colonel in "A Few Good Men?')
Anyway, the researcher whispered into Rick's ear. For quite a while. And Rick's expression was somewhat unreadable.
What do you think he said?15 years of sharks 06/30/08 (MA), 05/17/10 (Boston), 09/03/11 (Alpine Valley), 09/04/11 (Alpine Valley), 09/30/12 (Missoula), 07/19/13 (Wrigley), 10/15/13 (Worcester), 10/16/13 (Worcester), 10/25/13 (Hartford), 12/4/13 (Vancouver), 12/6/13 (Seattle), 6/26/14 (Berlin), 6/28/14 (Stockholm), 10/16/14 (Detroit)0 -
