Darabont's pilot was alright but otherwise it's just a mediocre adaptation of a mediocre comic book.

TOO SOON!!!!!

Thanks for that amazing input Rob

You are a bell end

Robs girlfriend is a mediocre fuck.

That's because Rob's girlfriend is a zombie.

I was wondering why the bitch stunk so much.

No thats because of her prolapsed anus!

How is this news? There was only 6 episodes made for the first season.

Um, yeah, so its like every single other cable TV show? Madmen, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Weeds, Big Love, etc. all only air one season a year. It's been that way for some time.

I like the fact Michonne has a samuari sword. The samurai sword could be a pretty effective and sensible weapon for the zombie apocalypse. It's quiet, quick and if sharpened properly…an effective head remover.

Jonwalker, not true, my friend. According to Max Brooks, the only way one could effectively use a samurai sword is if one were a samurai themselves. Those badasses were trained hard and for years to wield swords with ease, so, the idea of some random douche picking one up and using it the same way to the same effect is impossible. Metal softball bat all the way. Heavy, brutal, easy to carry.

The pilot was decent, but it failed to sink its hooks into me. Any show that I've ever cared about has succeeding in doing that right off the bat, so I figured this show just wasn't going to do it for me. Sure enough, the second episode was about as lackluster as it gets. I decided I'd give it one more chance to change my feelings about it. The third episode just cemented that it's not worth my time. It just seems like a pastiche of elements I've seen many times before in the zombie cinema that preceded it. I know a lot of people are touting the human element as being what's so different here and what will eventually make for a great series, but I just can't find it in me to care about these characters at all. There have been a grand total of three scenes I thought were cool and the rest were sleep-inducing. Does anyone really find these characters compelling?

When hearing that this was going to be a TV series, I was initially worried about the pacing of the show, as the first 4 years worth of the comic take place over a pretty short span of time, like only a few months. While I like that they've fleshed out this opening story arc quite a bit, they really need to get a move on if they hope to get to a certain point before the kids in the cast start hitting growth spurts. If they include the plot twist I'm alluding to that sets the timer, I'm guessing it will be revealed in the closing segment of the season finale.

Some people will [watch], some never will, but they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain…

Rob's right.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if people don't like things purely because other people like it so much. Unless it is Big Bang Theory, in which case you're right and everybody else watching is crazy.

Everyone will hate, everyone will love. In the end, it's just more endless message board flame wars conducted by equally idiotic morons in both camps.

The first episode really hooked me, but it's been downhill from there. The characters sometimes make dumb-ass choices like in every other third-rate horror movie, and some of the spoken lines and acting are cringe-worthy. I think part of the problem is that amazing shows like Boardwalk Empire and Breaking Bad make this otherwise okay series look like shit.

Show's watchable, and that's about the extent of it. There seems to be a lot of jawboning going on.
