Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

I enjoyed the season open - I haven't read the novel (though I want to) as it will ruin the series for me, but I did not see that ending coming. What a better way to hook you into the new season than have both kids in danger? And is it me, or is Darrell one bad-ass zombie killing ninja? I'm really starting to like that guy -- which of course means he'll ultimately do something horribly evil. (BTW, the gut-bag scene: awesome!)

Other than NFL RedZone, this is the only appointment viewing in my life. Looking forward to next week.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

I just started watching the first season in an attempt to catch up before I watch the new season. Watched the first two episodes and I gotta say I love this show. The gore is perfectly executed! Can't wait to finish season #1 and start on the new season!

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

I found that scene super creepy! You knew something bad was going to happen! I think the kid creeped me out more than what happened!

Great season opener though!:tu

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Are the zombies faster this year?

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

I noticed that too, they seem to be almost in a run at times.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

The zombies trained with Chuck Norris on the Total Gym during the offseason, leading to increased overall fitness and flexibility

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

:r:r:r

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

wow, 90 mins to not really do much at all. Travel, avoid a group of zombies, kid goes missing, 30 mins searching for her, another kid gets shot....

Talk about dragging out an episode......

I hope the rest is better, I also expect them to loose viewers after this episode and if the second episode does not develop the show / characters / plot more then this will be the last season.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

I agree. Also, too many scenes with people speaking to Jesus. BORRIIINNGG!

I will remain positive and hope the rest of the season will be a little more exciting.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Basically how I felt. I thought it was underwhelming.:sh

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Remind me to stay away from you during electrical storms

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Hahaha Is it too late to take it back? ;s

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

This season picks up right where last season ended with the over dramaticized BS!
How many soliloquies can you cram into an hour and a half show that should have only been an hour?

Zombies are definitely faster, I think so they can squeeze more commercials in!

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Yes the there is definitley too much drama, but I think they are doing great things with the gore. Wish it was a little bit more action and less drama but I am still enjoying the show.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

The 1st 25 mins HOLY CRAP....Intense then a crap load of commercials, I am not goingto b!tch about the drama, I like the characters and I love this show...HUGE fan of the comic, novel or whatever and I am painfully waiting to see what develops....One thing I didn't get were the zombies in the church SITTING! Not wondering around aimlessly...that to me just didnt' seem right.

I for one didn't forsee the kid getting shot, I figured a zombie would bum rush the deer, I was :jd

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Didn't really make sense to me (The boy getting shot) because it would just be so unlikey that that could happen.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

It did look like the bullet went thru the deer and hit the boy as well, so I see your point....watch it turn out to be the lost girl, she found a gun on a body.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

I don't know but I shot a buck from 15 yards with a slug and it didn't pass through, and the chance it would be a kill shot on the deer, pass clean through and take out the boy just seems to far fetched for me, but I guess it was the sign he was looking for! I am not saying it would be impossible but highly unlikely. I didn't see it coming though, I wonder if any animals will become zombies. It would have been cool to see the deer turn and look at the boy with blood all over its mouth.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

That would have been awesome :banger

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

I'll still watch it for a bit, but I'm not convinced on this show yet. I really, really want to like it, because I dig zombies/zombie movies, but I found myself fast-fowarding through a lot of the scenes in the last episode.

Those segments where the character speaks to the audience (like the long walkie-talkie scene) seem like such a cop-out to me. Couldn't the writers find a more interesting or engrossing way to lay out the plot points?

I like the gore and zombies (zombie head + screw driver = awesome!), but it's going to take some decent acting to keep me interested in it, or at least some characters I "care" about.

Anyway, just my :2 I still plan to DVR it and watch as time allows for now, but really hope it picks up.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Agree completely!
The gore is so well done, it is the only thing that keeps me watching right now.
I am not a fan of the dynamic with Shane (only character I remember his name) and the husband and wife, I find it more annoying than dramatic.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

They showed a commercial with Rick carrying the boy and saying he had been shot...before it happened. :td :td And...where did Sofia go?

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Sofia is code for "woodchuck"

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

:r :r

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

I just started watching this on netflix. only two episodes in and have liked it so far.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

I finally saw the episode last night. I downloaded it so I wouldn't have to deal with commercials. I feel for you guys.

As for the drama...keep in mind, the show is *not* about the Zombies...it's about the people, and how they act/react/develop in this world.

That said, even I felt the drama was a bit forced.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Overall, I liked the first episode. There was some great gore. Gotta like how some of the zombies were taken out. The car scene was suspenseful. That said, I'm not sure how much more of the love triangle I can take. I also found it was strange that the zombies were just sitting in church. Anyhoo, I'll keep watching.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Then the show should have a different name because Walking Dead means zombies.:2

Clearly zombies have no character, so I understand a need to inject character development into the writing, but the drama is over the top. Like ucla695 stated the "love triangle" is already old.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

What if the Walking Dead, are really the living...on borrowed time?

Agreed. I think this was over more quickly in the comics...but it's been about 5 years since I started this series. I may have to sit down and re-read them all on my birthday-vacation in November.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Re-watched season 1 over the past week and ready for tonight's episode! :noon I'm interested to see the direction that the new season will take.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Thumbs up for a Zombie Deer biting somebodies face off tonight!

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

From the title, I thought this was a thread about the Indy Colts season.....

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Never really got over that Super Bowl loss, did you , :gary:r:r

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Not that huge of an NFL fan, Brother...and anyways, I live for today. ;)

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Ugh. Nothing happened again tonight. I LOVE this series, but I'm definitely getting bored.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

^--- this

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Boring........An entire hour about doing surgery on the boy.........

Next week, and entire hour on how they get out of the school


Talk about SLOWWWWWWW story development....

I predict this show will be canceled this season..

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

First season was great but this season sucks. I would be interested in seeing how much show actually aired compared to commercials. I swear for every 3 minutes of show it seemed like there was 10 minutes of commercials.

I really hope they pick up the pace. Some of this is getting ridiculously predictable. How many times can you do the run into a building and get trapped by zombies? Kind of lame.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

The show was 42 minutes 48 sec, making things easy lets say 43 minutes not including ending credits. It is taking up a 60 minute time slot on A&E so 17 minutes total commercials.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Geez, two shows into the season and everyone's crying. Too slow? There's other shows on TV. :r

Yeah....isn't that what zombie movies and comics are pretty much about? :r

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Just kill or save the boy already! The episode definitely dragged on, but next week looks more promising.

Hmmmmm........brains. :dr

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

But we like this one, and it might be running into the ground! :'(


Duhhhh. :r

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

We had a friend over last night, she has never seen the show.
We tried watching the new episode with her and she asked "where are all the zombies?".
Then that walker attacked the blonde lady in the forrest and she was like "that's it?".
I tried to explain it was the worst episode so far, but I don't think she will watch it again!

I watched last season a couple weeks ago and I loved it, not sure what their target market is this year. Maybe they are going to be moving to Lifetime and need to change their demagraphic? I will keep watching though, and keep complaining too if it doesn't get better.

On a possitive note, it is still better than TeraNova!!!!

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

I'm not giving up yet, but that episode was painful to watch.

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

:tpd:this last episode was like a swift :gary

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

:tpd: I'm big fan of the show, but I gotta agree

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Given the complaints, wouldn't it be more like a SLOW :gary?

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

YES

Re: Walking Dead Season 2
 

Slow episode, but still enjoyed watching it. Wonder if Shane and Otis are going to make it back? I figure Shane will but don't think Otis has the cardio...
