Default Re: Walking Dead Season 2

Hahaha, there it is, the exposed nerve. Look, I've been in television for 25 years.
I am just assuming that your best effort leads off, and at some time in the future,
people are going to get about enough of running from zombies. Your fourth slice of
pizza is no less tasty, it just TASTES less tasty to YOU after the previous 3. There
is a zombie glut going on in this world these past few years, and it's gonna play to the
detriment of this show eventually. GRANTED, they can replenish the characters endlessly
by just stumbling upon new people cowering in various locations throughout the south, but
after a while, it's gonna be been there, did that, what's next. You'll see.

OK, let me play this out for you another way. One of the best things about this show,
for me, through 6 episodes, is the SHOCK value of A.) the camera placements, i.e., how you
get to view the bashing skull, and B.) just the shock in general. Best shot for me thru 6
is the first show, black guy out in the street (Morgan?) is on his way, running up to Rick,
and just off-handedly reaches out an puts a bullet in the walker's head that's heading towards Rick.
It was just SO matter of fact, so clean, so wild to see. But eventually that type of shock
wears off. This show is unique in that there is so little actual drag-leg zombie scuffling.
They set you up with a camera angle that would normally have you saying "Here we go", but
in the end it's just a shot. I am not saying I want more dialogue, but I like that there is enough
horror just in the overall gravity of the sitcho and the emptiness of the world they live in.
I like it for what it ISN'T trying to do. SO that saves back some shock value for later, but it's
not a bottomless well.
