Jesus, you people. It was a fantastic episode showing them all on the brink. The storm was obviously a metaphor for them weathering their own storm. they came together as a group at the end, after the literal storm had passed. Now they have a new obstacle in front of them disguised as the sunny day ahead. Will he be? Or is he just another storm in wait?

Not every episode is going to have blood and gore. Why do you watch this show?
Oh no! Someone has an opinion that's different than yours!
not at all. but all some people do is bitch about the show. why watch it?

I do generally enjoy the show. Just because I watch it on a regular basis doesn't mean I'm going to like every single thing about it. I don't expect constant blood and gore, but I just found myself rather bored with these first 2 episodes. Both were very predictable.

fair enough. my original comment wasn't directed at you specifically; there just seems to be a lot of general bitching about it.

although, I guess my question of "why watch it?" was unfair, as I hate-watched Lost for several seasons HOPING HOPING HOPING it would redeem itself, and it never did.

I spoke with my buddy who reads all the comics and books of TWD, and he told me about this Aaron guy, what his deal is, and what is to come. Rest assured: shit is going to get REAL very soon.

I think all the bitching is what just comes with the territory for what is one of the most popular shows on TV.

Isn't that the way everyone watched Lost??? Don't even get me started on that show.

Never read the comics so I have no idea what to expect here with this Aaron dude. It's so hard to avoid all of the spoilers that are out there.

interesting take on the storm, one i did not see.

I questioned the storm as it looked like a tornado came through on a course right next to the barn.

HughFreakingDillon · February 2015

I thought it was interesting that nature took care of the walkers for them. yeah, I think the storm bothered some as it seemed like the group was spared the destruction of it. i guess that was a "sign" to the priest. i was shocked when he threw his neck thing in the fire.

what did everyone think of rick coming out and saying "we are the walking dead"? I honestly thought the title of the show all along was a double meaning, that the survivors were actually the walking dead, but you don't usually hear a character on the show saying the title of the show. interesting.

good point.

I know there is/was a thread on Lost where loads of people loved the show, beginning to end. the first season was one of the best on tv. then it just got stupid, in my opinion. but I still watched. how stupid is that?

the great thing is, with the potential spoilers out there, with the comics and whatnot, you still don't really know what is going to happen, if the show is going to follow the comics to the letter or not. avoiding spoilers gives me great reason to stay away from the internet!

Yeah, I watched Lost all the way through as well. First season was great and the later seasons definitely had some great moments (Not Penny's boat,etc...), but it just got too silly. So much that was never answered.

True. It is nice that they haven't stuck exactly to what happens in the comics. I've read a few things here and there, but have mostly been able to avoid all of the spoilers.

Ive tried to watch this show.... It was OK. Season 1 lost me. Season 2 was a bit slow and got sick of the Farm, but whatever. It seemed Season 3 was really good for the most part, but relied a lot on the slogging episode then cliffhanger at the end formula. Season 4 was pretty decent too for the 1st half...
But I got through the Beth/darryl finding alcohol episode... which sucked. Then a Bob-centric episode that was awful... I kept falling asleep and didnt finish so I need to rewatch, but I just cant stomach it. Ive been stuck for about 3 months.

The show is decent, but I dont really get the hype and amount of people who are nuts for it. Never really liked any of the characters (liked Herschel for the most part and his grounded macro views/narrative on everything), and like Darryl is universally likeable obviously. Everyone else, not so much. Not really invested in any characters enough to care that much, and with Herschel you knew he was a goner when they had his centric episode.

Calm down dude. Offended? What are you on about? I just think its funny that you criticize this show for being lame, but think lost is the best ever. Season one of lost rocked. The rest was utter shit. And dont use the "millions watched it worldwide" as an argument for being good. If that were the barometer, then you must think britney spears is better than pearl jam.

Not sure why you keep saying it is a copy paste of lost. If it were, i wouldn't be watching it.

Have to say, I don't see the Lost/Walking Dead comparison

yeah, that one's lost on me too.

The only thing I see similar is that it's a group of people trying to survive. Other than that, completely different shows.

dimitrispearljam · February 2015

- Group of people walking around trying to survive
- back and forth stories of characters
-episodes with only one character played at whole episoide and his past life
-flashbacks
-"others" - other groups unknown dont know who are they if are good or bad..
-wandering around meeting new groups of survivors
-death at end or start of the season of main caracters
-noone knew where are they and how the time travel worked at the island and trying to find to solve it while only one person that noone knows knows the secret - same how this happened with zombies and try to find the solution while only one person that noone knows knows the secret
-people make smaller teams and duets inside the big team..
-team splits and reunite all the time
-even a small baby in the group
-the whole proccess how "normal people "become,fighters,survivors,killers
and more...

all patterns of LOST..

TWD is based on a comic that first came out in 2003. Lost started in 2004. Obviously there are some similarites, but TWD is not a Lost ripoff.
