Sometimes I get the feeling they wrote one season and are stretching it out over three.

![]() Sophia is very important to the flow right now. It brings in that "hope" factor. These people need to have some kind of hope, something to keep them fighting and progressing. Right now they still have hope in finding her, but if they don't, or Sophia is actually a walker now, think about what that will do to these people. Everyone complains about love stories, but this show is trying to be as real as possible. In life most people are always searching for connections and relationships with other people, its just the way it is. And quite honestly, the show has hardly touched on the Lori/Shane saga this season, it could be a lot worse. |

I think it would be interesting to see if the group decides to stay united to find Sophia, or will they be split. Some may just decide they don't care about finding her anymore, and go back to simply worrying about themselves. Could make for some really tense scenes. We could see the group literally split and go different ways. So much to look forward this Sunday.

I don't mind opening cans of worms, I do it daily here, but I was mis-understood on my point about blablabla,
same old thing, the shows end badly. What I mean is "Hurry, there's only SECONDS to GO! Everyone gets out of the CDC and it's "GET DOWN!!" Kaboom................weak..........This is why I said I KNOW it's hard to end a show, I am no writer, and I don't envy their every word being picked over by likers and haters. But my Dad used to get SO MAD about the bomb timer ticking down. He said "You never see the bomb timer ticking down to a minute-twenty and it gets de-fused. Always has to be 1 or 2 seconds. But yeah, I thought Otis' lines were prettly lame in the end, at the cdc, he was all "if you aren't coming, then I am staying. You can't just let someone care for you and then give up like this"... And with that I will stop jacking the season two thread with season 1 gripes. ((But what he SHOULDA said was "Uh-uh, NO....you and me got's to get to re-populatin this bi+ch, honey, Git you honey-blond sweet a55 up and OUT of this ticking time bomb.")) . |

As to current plot items, I have not seen it yet, but I think that once they were in the CDC and realized that
they are alone not just in their little microcosm, but globally, searching for that little girl becomes more than just, "oops, lost another one..." They need to make the effort I think, just to stay sane. But as for splitting up, that's a good bet, since parallel action takes up more time and allows for more intricate plotlines that serve the producer's needs to sqeeze life out of what will end up being a pretty thin storyline if they go into 3-4 seasons. |

You have got to be kidding. There are SO many things they can do with this show! How can you make that assumption without even seeing an episode of season 2?

Hahaha, there it is, the exposed nerve.
![]() 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. Last edited by OLS; 11-04-2011 at 01:03 PM. |

And last but not least, haha, I am NOT going to let this show LOST my a55.
When it gets ridiculous and it's just a matter of who gets chewed on this week, I will just stop seeking it out. |

I love this show, sure I want more of the action and less mushy. Sure was surprised the Sheriffs friend killed the farmer though.
I am a nut though anything newer sci fi or apocalyptic I tend to like. Beats Vampire Diaries where the whole town is a 18 year old fake like vampire and they all happen to be good enough looking to be in Playboy. Give me some real, throw in some ugly people please! |

I'm glad that Shane put a bullet in Otis - it opens a pile of new character questions...
...did Shane really think that Rick was dead? Or did he say it because he wanted Lori and thus wanted to believe it? ...does Shane's plan to leave the group really hinge on removing tension, or does he have a darker motive? ...did Shane shoot Otis as an act of self-preservation? As retribution for Otis shooting Carl? Because he determined that Otis' life was expendable when compared with Carl's? ...who will find out about Shane shooting Otis? What will the result be? I like the character-driven aspect of the show....but I would certainly be happy if there was a little more Zombie slay'in thrown in for good measure. |

If they did the show the way you suggest, all it would be is Night of the Living Dead.....over and over and over and over again every week. I love horror, but very few people would tune in for that, not even me. Gets pretty old,,pretty quick. People watch for the character development, they want to become interested in the people lives, that's the very thing that makes a tv show successful. |
