New TV series - The walking Dead

[to21]

No, it's not. Instead of watching shit like this, you can watch Breaking Bad or Mad Men.

Why is this show even popular anyway? I read the comic up to chapter 50 and lost interest. This show seems to have completely screwed up the comic for no reason, yet people keep watching it in droves. Why? Is it because of the zombies (which are played out at this point)? I know it's not because of the plot or characters, because almost all of you hate the plot and characters. The general consensus is that the show went downhill after the first season (some would even say after the pilot episode), yet it still gets gigantic ratings. This thread has more posts than the Breaking Bad and Mad Men, and people actually like those shows.

Where did all this goodwill come from?You should keep reading, they get much better.

Speaking for myself, I'd like the show to succeed, with "succeed" meaning horror-genre entertainment. In other words, up until this point I've mainly watched hoping that the show would reach it's potential.
As it stands now, the may as well be a 1950's era TV western. The zombies are just a vague background threat, similar to the Native Americans in those old westerns. IMO, the zombie apocalypse hasn't really been played out, but rather it hasn't been played at all. That may be a limitation imposed on the show by the source comic, but who cares?
They need to stop playing by the book and start playing jazz. That's what the other successful AMC shows, Breaking Bad and Mad Men have done.

The simple truth is men are more expensive to entertain than women. So a television network would have to shell out more money to make shows that appeal to men. Women watch reality TV and glorified talent show because they are idiots. Guy shows are usually found on cable networks.

Zombies are always background characters in zombie stories, because they are the least interesting aspect of the zombie apocalypse.

It's always been about the human interaction, especially in The Walking Dead, which is basically a tale about a group that runs into murderous psycopath after murder murderous psycopath (in the comic).

:tu

It would get old really fast if the zombies were the only threat. Also, if the group was always on the move, wouldn't a logical person be like "Hey why don't they find a place to settle down already, like that farm or that prison they just passed by". People would be bitching about how they should seek permanent shelter and not moving place to place.

It's interesting to see them try to make some kind of civilization.

So who dies in season 4? Herschel can't get away with gimping forever, and Carol is a pretty boring character imo

[Darth_Pelican]

They need to move out of the prison and into a new setting for season 4. Season 1 was Atlanta, Season 2 was the farm, & Season 3 was the prison. It's time for some new scenery.

Yes. Atlanta and the farm had clarity. Sharp and easily discerned. The prison is muddled. Unlike the farm, I can't see the prison unless I'm watching the show. Before one could imagine what one could not see of the farm and Atlanta. Not so with the prison. Not even close.

Difficult to watch him here without drifting back to '67 & "In Cold Blood." He was at prime there & positively lit afire.

[leemajors]

They just brought a busload of people into the prison. You really think they are leaving anytime soon?

[Joyrider]

It's gonna really blow when Breaking Bad is over and there is nothing to look forward to after The Walking Dead.

There is always a better show.

When Lost and 24 ended I said the same thing and then all this great shows came out. (Game of Thrones,Spartacus, Boardwalk Empire etc.)

This. Which is why I hated the season finale, I'm sick of that weak ass Governor. In the comics, he was an ultimate bad ass fucking shit up. He even cuts ricks hand off. The show version is a bitch.

Damn, sounds like good shit goes down in the comics.

I started reading the comics and I only made it to issue 20 before I got bored with it. Tyrese was a raw motherfucker in the early parts of the comics. He's such a pusyy in the tv show. lol

Gonna look at the cliff notes online to see what's happening on the comics.

Hes a great actor but also a liability to the group. Hes slow, cant really wield anything, and requires a lot of maintenance. If they inherited a medic along with the riff raff from the Governors group then Herschel's a goner.

He's the main moral compass of the group. Without him, we'd have Cucky still in retardland and no one telling everyone that Carl is a cumbucket. I really don't think the show will dump Herschel for one of those old useless ladies from Mayberry. He knows how to shoot, can still drive a vehicle....more than you can say for the Golden Girls.

You change show runners each season, this is the result of the tone and vision of the show getting altered. Hopefully the new guy is given a chance to flourish and make his mark and AMC gives him that chance.

this show seems like its turning to shit. it started halfway through season 3

btw these are the most pathetic zombies of any zombie movie/show

I liked the ones from the new Day of the Dead(I think), brutal zombies that are actually faster and stronger when zobies IMO that's how it should be

it should take 4 non zombies to kill a zombie. not a 7 year old kid with a butter knife :rolleyes

Fast zombies worked in the the remake of Dawn of the Dead, but, I haven't seen it work otherwise. And there you had a quality cast. It throws the whole production in a dizzy.

With their numeric advantage, there would be no humans left with your zombies.

[to21]

The notion that one would become faster and stronger after becoming a zombie is a little bit of a stretch.

Edit: I take that back, unless they were infected with the Rage virus.

[I. Hustle]

I am putting a zombie movie together as we speak. It was difficult coming up with a concept that wasn't already used but I have mixed two genres. If the book gets published then I will let everyone know. If it doesn't... then oh well. I'm thinking that this will be the book that allows me to buy an island.

[Texas_Ranger]

Watched all 3 seasons in 3 days. First two seasons were pretty damn good. But this last one reminded me of Prison Break when it went to shit.

Excellent movie directed by Zack Snyder who also did 300 and Watchmen. I'm still a little partial to the original for nostalgic reasons, but the remake did it no shame.

[Thebesteva]

You guys asking for fast zombies are fucking retarded. Fast zombies make for a good film, NOT a TV series! The Walking Dead can't just be shooting zombies 24\7. I agree that the zombie scenes should be like 60% of the show and 40% should be character development\situations. However, you cant expect to keep people around without a soap opera like theme. You want zombie porn? Watch that other stuff

[Reck]

In before "they weren't zombies in 28 Days Later"

Technically they're not undead so that assumption would be correct.

As long as I remember you could kill one of them by just any means, they will even starve to death as shown in the closing moments of the first movie.

Still love that fast version of a "zombie" though.

It would be a fun tv show actually.

But that's for a network like HBO or Showtime where they have more liberty character wise.

The downfall of this series will be the fact the AMC will not allow major characters to be killed off. You have to take some chances. Almost everyone in this series (key people anyway) are still alive doing shit.

I agree with you that the show is falling apart, but I disagree about killing off main characters. Their was a huge debate on the walking dead boards wether or not they should kill off Shane. They went ahead and killed him off and I disagreed with the decision even though I thought that episode was the most epic shit ever. They also killed off Lori, alot of people thought they wouldn't kill off Lori till season 4.

Also, killing Merle was a bad call. Rooker is the shit.

Really? To each their own, I thought Jon Bernthal was the shit. He brought so much to the show. TWD is really good at fucking up a character, ie the fact Andrea is a fan favorite in the show but the writers fucked her up in the show.

[leemajors]

His character's passive aggressive emo shit got old quick. I'm surprised he wasn't cutting towards the end.

[Reck]

Shane and Merle to me were semi background characters imo.

Merle missed the majority of the series so can he even be categorize as a main character? If so why? It was Rooker badassness that made him relevant in the first place.

Shane was a byproduct of the series too. As you know in the comics he's an incecure wimp that gets shot within the first few issues. lol

Rick, Daryl, and Carl are the main 3 characters. The show would be shit without Rick or Daryl. So Im not sure if you mean 1 of them should be killed. Ultimately, the walking dead ends with everyone dying.

Oh yeah I'm not saying kill all of them but to at least put them in imminent danger. Like in the comics, Rick gets his hand chopped off, Carl gets half his face blown off and Machonne gets raped by the govnr.

The latter is probably too graphic for tv but you get the idea.

It would be a fun tv show actually.

But that's for a network like HBO or Showtime where they have more liberty character wise.

The downfall of this series will be the fact the AMC will not allow major characters to be killed off. You have to take some chances. Almost everyone in this series (key people anyway) are still alive doing shit.

Dude, they've killed almost everyone from the Atlanta group. Rick, Carol, Carl, Glenn, and Daryl are the only ones left from that fairly large group.

Don't forget Merle , he was OG and a fan favorite.

It's obvious they are dumbing down the show since it's so popular. I doubt we'll ever see the same writing/directing from Season 1.

[Trainwreck2100]

of course you won't see the same thing as season one, they fired frank darabont after season 1

I considered adding him to the list, but some see him as a recurring character. He was in very few episodes before season 3.

Last time I remembered a show replacing their showrunner more than 3 times was Dexter. But over a 7 year period that's understanble.

This show has had just as many directors in just 3 seasons. That's a terrible precedence.

Just watched a movie last night called "28 Days Later" (2002). So many ideas for Walking Dead appear to be ripped off from this film. Watch it and judge for yourself.

Just watched a movie last night called "28 Days Later" (2002). So many ideas for Walking Dead appear to be ripped off from this film. Watch it and judge for yourself.

Actually, it's famously known that 28 days later copied from TWD. TWD comic book came out before the film, and here's Kirkman the creator of TWD being nice and commenting on it.


EW: I suspect a lot of people who are coming across the story of The Walking Dead for the first time would have thought that the guy-wakes-from-coma-to-discover-that-the-world-has-been-overrun-by-zombies plot was very similar to 28 Days Later. Presumably you had seen that film when you wrote the first issue of the comic?RK: No. Welcome to my life seven years ago. It was complete coincidence. I saw 28 Days Later shortly before the first issue of Walking Dead was released. That first issue came out in October of 2003 and 28 Days Later was released in the States in June of 2003. So we were working on our second issue by the time I saw it. It was going to be a matter of somehow trying to restage the entire first issue, because it was a very similar coma opening. I made a decision—which I pretty much regret at this point—I said, “You know what? It’s so different [from that point on], I will probably never hear anything about this.” And I was wrong.
EW: So when you saw the movie you must have thought, “Oh s—!”

RK: Yeah. It was a little annoying. But great minds think alike, right?

[ColinB]

How can it be "famously known that 28 days later copied from TWD" when 28 Days Later came out in 2002.

[DarrinS]

How can it be "famously known that 28 days later copied from TWD" when 28 Days Later came out in 2002.

That's what I was thinking.

And there are plenty more similarities besides "guy-wakes-from-coma-to-discover-that-the-world-has-been-overrun-by-zombies".

But I'm sure they are all just coincidences.

[jeebus]

What's funny is 28 days came out in November, which means it was written in probably 2001 or so, maybe earlier.

[Thebesteva]

What's funny is 28 days came out in November, which means it was written in probably 2001 or so, maybe earlier.

The 90-minute episode featured similarities in style and substance to films such as Danny Boyle's '28 Days Later', however, the original writer plays down concerns surrounding the show's originality, insisting his books came first. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kirkman said, "I saw 28 Days Later shortly before the first issue of Walking Dead was released. That first issue came out in October of 2003 and 28 Days Later was released in the States in June of 2003. So we were working on our second issue by the time I saw it", before adding, "Yeah. It was a little annoying. But great minds think alike, right". Kirkman, who also wrote the 'Invincible', 'Ultimate X-Men', and 'Marvel Zombies' comic books, denied rumours that one of the zombies in the pilot episode was played by Jim Carey, saying, "It's not Jim Carrey at all. And dammit, most days I remember that guy's name. He's a great guy".

[Reck]

You basically reposted the article from earlier.

If anything he's puzzled that there were similarities such as the opening coma scene. By default there will inevitably be similarities here and there because both are from the same genre so it's common sense.

But one thing is for sure, the movie certainly didn't copy from the comic. Unless Danny Boyle had dibs on Kirkman's work.

Smart move. I first watched 28 weeks about 5 years ago and thought it was shitty. I then watched it a few months ago, thinking I was overreacting and missing te point, but it was still shitty, probably even shittier than I remembered. There are just so many plot holes and unforgivable moments.

[Chris]

**SPOILER ALERT**28 Weeks Later starts off great, with the main character running through the field chased by 30 or so infected after abandoning his wife in the house. Then he gets to the city, and finds his kids, and the movie becomes really slow and boring. They kill off the coolest character in the movie in the end, and its supposed to set something up for another sequel. It was dissapointing but not entirely unwatchable imo.

[jeebus]

That damned kid was the one who led all the infected there in the first place, but it sets the ball rolling for the movie.

[Reck]

LOL that dude in the opening scene was the baddest nigga in teh movie. Not giving a fuck, took off running and almost got away in the boat. That lame ass main character attracted all the infected toward his area and really fucked broseph up badly.

The movie got screwed up when they introduced the NATO troops or whatever. It would have been better if there was only group of survivors like the first one.

I didn't mind the NATO troops, what bothered me was how fucking stupid the whole setup was. they had fuckface's wife in that quarantine room. by herself. with no one watching. and fuckface strolls in there and kisses her. should be a sealed room no? nope. he strolls out and escapes. then that guard sees him and apparently isn't trained in using weapons, so he gets infected. somehow, in this highly secure place, fuckface is able to go around wherever as if the doors are wide open. whatever. quarantine time! send all the civvies to a safe place right? safe from everything? except the back fucking door that fuckface strolls into and starts infecting everyone. just thinking about the movie pisses me off. :lol

Just finished catching up with this series in succession. Season three has a lot of filler episodes. Season two has maybe 1-2. Season one has none. Season two is my personal favorite. The last two episodes for that season are some of the best in terms of climatic build-up. Season one is great for the way it introduces viewers to the apocalypse, very realistic and surreal. The CDC episode is my personal favorite from season one.

Season three was for the most part a wasted season. The group needs to be on a run to kick-start the show again.

The second half of season two was intense. Rick and Shane fighting with all the zombies and the final farm episode. The first half of season 3 was good but the second half sucked and was nothing but filler episodes. They took the worst characters that no one cared about and killed them off and tried to sell it as if we cared.

Didn't see that either. I really liked D'Angelo on the Wire. But something tells me the showrunners are going to use him incorrectly, just like the way they have underused Cutty/Tyrese/Chad Coleman (whatever you wanna call him).

I'm actually hoping Wood Harris (Avon) makes an appearance.

Not only that, but the characters that they added for next season are garbage. The Governor may be an intersting character in the comics (from what I've heard), but I think he is the second worst character on the show behind only the girl that sings all the time....who they also added as a main character for next season.

It's entirely subjective. I was somewhat disappointed with some of the decisions made during the third season, but I still genuinely like and enjoy the show. And "Clear," an episode near the end of the third season, is in my opinion the series' best. For those reasons, I would suggest it's worth continuing to watch. That said, a lot of people here and elsewhere seem to really hate it and are actively hostile toward it.

If I remember which one Clear was, it's just a standalone ep. And yes, it was definitely the best of the series. I will say this: if you hate a certain character like 99.999% of everyone else did, you'll be happy with the finale. That being said, so much of this past season was fluff and stupid. It's still a good show, it's just moving along like old people fuck...slow and boring.

- it'll start a few months after the last ep
- everything's been nice and calm and people are getting into a routine
- Rick is trying to play daddy to Crazy Carl after seeing how his dipshit kid is going crazy and killing random non zombies
- they're going to eventually bring back the tired governor, which will slow the show down even more
- lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of talking
- more black guys will be introduced to try and shake the fact that only one is allowed to be alive
- something crazy will happen that will make you want to watch next week's episode

on the bright side, that blonde chick is dead. the annoying one. andrea? was that her name? who gives a fuck. she's dead hallelujah.

I'm glad that Rick got rid of that hunting rifle and is now using a assault rifle.
He can bring down more walkers with a 30 round clip. Will little bad ass Carl
pick him up a Glock 19 and dump that old revolver. At the end of last season
it looked like the walkers had found a way into the prison. It looks like the
prison is not the safest place to be after all.

This is bad. That kid seemed to have died from the zombie plague in the shower. They haven't showed that yet on the show, but it must have happened a lot in the beginning to have so many zombies so fast, worldwide.

Will they have to start locking themselves in their cells at night in case people start randomly turning?

[Darius McCrary]

I take it as just a general disease. The pig died of a disease, the kid got whatever the pig had. Kid collapsed and killed himself by head trauma on the shower floor. Kid turned.

well, if the preview for next week's ep showed anything, it looks like most of the people living there turn into zombies along with the fences failing. hopefully they get a move on to somewhere else cuz that prison is getting tiresome.

I know. How much time has passed since there was a functional military? Shit was wiped out when Ricky was still in the hospital in the first ep. So that crash happened long ago...which means the walkers have been up there since forever, walking on every bit of that roof....and then it just decided to collapse.

no doubt. with all these new random people in the prison, lots of opportunities for them to die without taking out established characters.

[spursfan09]

I liked it.

[Holden_Caulfield]

the show is getting retarded. giving it 3 more eps tbh

[Biernutz]

Walking Dead returned Sunday with a audience of 16.1 million viewers — more than 5 million
viewers better than last year’s 10.87 million and more than
double where it kicked off its second season in October 2011 (7.26 million).

It also did a huge 8.2 rating in adults 18-49, making it the top-rated entertainment
series telecast of the season, ahead of CBS’ The Big Bang Theory for its season premiere

[Jacob1983]

The Walking Dead needs to get back to episodes focusing on killing zombies and not having the characters act like emo pussies and bitch about their feelings.

[TE]

This was a good episode tbh. It leads up to the bloodshed of the next couple of episodes (according to spoilers, people die). I don't get what people expect from the show at this point. We got a little bit of zombie killing action, a little bit of character intro/development (the new characters), and an ending that sucks you into the next episode.

I am already liking this season more than the 2nd and 3rd. It feels like big things will happen and the group will constantly be in action and perhaps even on the move with the prison being exposed.

[Thebesteva]

The Walking Dead needs to get back to episodes focusing on killing zombies and not having the characters act like emo pussies and bitch about their feelings.

Agreed, the show has completely become emo gay shit. It doesnt have to be zombie killings, just more on the survival part. The shows underlying theme used to be surviving, finding new 'maps and locations' so to speak. Now its just about Rick walking around like a faggot and sulking over his wife that was getting plowed by his best friend

[elbamba]

I thought Rick was hallucinating again. I didn't really see the point of that whole sequence.

The series needs to turn Rick around and make him cool again. The first two seasons I liked him better because he seemed to be sane. I am okay with character develoment as long as its good and moves the show along. Last season and episode one of this season sucked as far as Rick is concerned. I still like the show though.

[xmas1997]

Boring, from beginning to end IMHO.

[I. Hustle]

I know. How much time has passed since there was a functional military? Shit was wiped out when Ricky was still in the hospital in the first ep. So that crash happened long ago...which means the walkers have been up there since forever, walking on every bit of that roof....and then it just decided to collapse.

You can thank AMC for penny pinching, firing Frank Darabont, and the overall general shittiness of the show.

So because there is no more military that means all the military equipment disappeared along with anyone who has ever flown a helicopter?

[FkLA]

Kinda sucked for a season premiere imo. But all the people talking shit about the show already are faggots tbh.

[johnsmith]

I've said this before, if the zombies aren't a threat, which they weren't last season, then this show isn't good. The ease at which characters can get away from and kill the zombies makes for way to little drama and suspense. Even in this premiere, emo Glen has been tackled by two zombies, but no big deal, for some reason these zombies "zombie yell" at him before trying to bite him so he has plenty of time to reach over, grab his gun, make one clean head shot, and then pistol whip the other.

Having said that, it looks like we're in for some actual zombie carnage over the next couple episodes, which is good, because last season, they'd have 5 episodes worth of build up and then the payoff wasn't ever enough. So there is still a chance for this show to get fun again.

Also, I'm pretty certain the scene with the crazy lady in the woods was just to reaffirm to Rick that while everything seems fine right now and he's in a good place, ultimately, the world is coming to an end and you're fucked.

[resistanze]

Maybe hindsight is 20/20, but why didn't they sleep with their cells closed in the first place? I mean there's airflow and you'd think for a bunch of security reasons (zombies, rape) they'd do so.

[TE]

Decent episode with a lot of zombie action, imo. People died and I expect more to die in the next with the breaching of the prison gates. Rick is also turning soft crying over some pigs. He needs to be a badass again. Me thinks the return of the governor will prompt this re-transformation.

He's not crying over the loss of pigs. He's crying over the dissolution of what was looking like a long term home.

True... but in a post-apocalyptic world involving zombies there is no long term home imo.

True... but in a post-apocalyptic world involving zombies there is no long term home imo.

Well, of course. But that doesn't mean that realization isn't going to suck. Especially when things have been relatively quiet and comfy and agricultural for months.


What did you think of the episode, Funt?

I liked it, overall. I thought there was some good tension at times, and there were a few interesting character moments (despite their all caps SYMBOLISM and FORESHADOWING), but we're still too early in the setup phase for me to be terribly invested yet, one way or the other. It's a strong start to the season so far, I think, but not a terribly exciting one.

[CuckingFunt]

Incidentally, the preview for next week's episode showed a flash of Darryl trying to restrain Rick and Rick yelling at him to get off, which makes me wonder if a certain bout of fisticuffs that happens in the comics is going to happen next week. I hope not. While I want the story to get there, the friendship that makes that fight such a big deal hasn't been established yet, which would make this just another example of the show taking all of the steam and all of the emotional stakes out of the comics' biggest moments. Which would suck.

[symple19]

Talking Dead revealed last week that Abraham would be introduced this season, as well as a few others that would be familiar from the comic.

Kirkman has also said that there may be some things in the show that you'll see in yet to be released comics. I like the idea of it going in this direction sometimes instead of the more familiar comic ----> show

-
-

Good start to the season :tu I've learned not to get too critical and appreciate the show for what it is... Escapist fare with enough interesting characters for me to give a fuck about over the long haul. Oh, and zombies.

The only thing I really want to see this season is a getaway from the prison and a return to the road. Abraham being introduced means they'll probably be inching toward the D.C. story arc from the comic at some point. My guess is that once they're on the road is when The Governor will make his return, hopefully with new followers and more sick and twisted than ever before. (Cannibals?)

[symple19]

Oh yeah, hope Carl goes in the direction the comic takes him, too

[jeebus]

Oh yeah, hope Carl goes in the direction the comic takes him, too
I hope that direction is death because he is the absolute worst character. Nothing he can do can redeem himself for all the stupid shit he did in the past.

[jeebus]

sooooo is there any reason why they don't just hook up a radio, speakers, and a car battery somewhere and let it shoot out static noise? or a bunch of wind chimes? or anything that makes noise? anything's better than spending 5 minutes a day killing a couple zombies and letting the rest keep pushing on the fence.

logic holds no bounds in a tv series...take for example the old horror or scary movies where everyone splits up instead of staying together as a group...

Any thoughts? :lol

I'm not trying to be the asshole that refuses to suspend disbelief, but didn't they establish in season 2 that everyone turns after they die? Wouldn't the risk that played out in this episode been inevitable if someone died in their sleep in the prison, for any reason?

Dunno. I'd definitely be like asian guy and sleep in an isolated spot. then again, like hehateme said, logic has no place in this show. there's always a hundred zombies around the fences but if/when they go out for a lil drive or walk in the woods, there's none.

Yeah, I can let things slide usually but some plot points are too contrived. It bothered me when I saw each cell has a gypsy curtain hanging from the doorway, but they thought everyone should sleep with the cell open and unlocked. fuck, Herschel could probably died of a heart attack tomorrow, then turn. :lol

Oh I'm sure he will. And I don't get why they had to kill the lil piggies either. Sure, Rick was probably right by saying they were getting the people sick or vice versa, but to get the zombies away from the fence, all you had to do was take a car, drive out a bit, honk the horn, then have them chase you for a while. Turn around, circle the hoard for a mile so they don't see/hear you, then drive back to the prison. But no....

1. This is a dart thrown in the dark...I think it's one of the teenagers. This last episode contained some seasons where those sister girls looked at the gate still in the process of understanding a walker and the transformation process.

2. A rogue prisoner. I don't think it was Rick, Carl or Daryl. Anybody else is fair game IMO.

carl was never tolerable, tbh. he needs to die in a painful fashion similar to what jeebus mentioned earlier - eaten alive by a zombie head...nibble by nibble....slowly from the feet up.

and as far as the bodies go, it's probably a rogue black guy. see season 3 when the black inmate released some zombies and blasted the sirens.

i felt more bad for the pigs than i do the characters. lol...being more emotionally invested in the pigs than the characters.

[johnsmith]

I think this show is going to turn around and get good again. Hopefully the Governor doesn't become a major character again, and as long as they aren't able to stay in the prison all season, it will be entertaining enough.

I honestly think Breaking Bad ruined all television for me forever. It was so much better than anything I've ever watched before, I can't get into this stuff near as much now.

Yes. Season 1 and 2 ruined Carl because he was such a huge pain in the dick. The writers tried to fix this in s3 but most people saw through the bullshit and still want that little kunt to die.

And crofl. same here. When the two stupid girls had to watch their father die, I was rolling my eyes and not giving two shits. but the lil piggies....:cry. It's gotten to the point that anytime a character dies, there's no emotion there. gotta blame the writers there for that.

I'm thinkin it's probably the black alcoholic but who knows. Could be Judith the way this show goes.

Good luck? Neither Breaking Bad nor Mad Men have ever come close to The Walking Dead's ratings. It's true those two shows will always be the network's critical darlings, and losing them will likely put an end to AMC's reputation as a place for exceptional television, but it won't hurt too much from a numbers perspective.

That meant they had 3 critically acclaimed shows to span the year for their network. What are they gonna fill on that other time?? Low Winter Sun?? Comic Book Men?? And let's say the rumor that Daryl does die this season, you think those fan boys/girls will come rushing back next season with no boy toy to look forward to? The numbers are great and their merchandise sells through the roof but if they dip to Dexter mediocrity and stretch the series to 8 seasons, who knows what will happen next.

[Xevious]

Anyone know how many episodes this season is supposed to be? Considering the success, I'm assuming it's supposed to be 16 again?

I haven't been nearly as critical as others have. I enjoy the survival aspect of the show, and how human nature changes when there is no food, shelter, support, etc. So when people bitch that the show is too slow, those are parts I usually enjoy. I can only watch people slay zombies for so long. That said, I think season 3 was too long, and I don't really want to see the same thing happen again. Something big needs to shake things up and get this group back on the road for the show to stay interesting. It looks like they may be headed that way thankfully.

The herds are a pretty big element in the comics during the time period of this arc. Loud noises are generally a bad idea, as its explained that the herds basically develop when one or a few walkers follow a noise and more and more walkers start following the first group because they've got nothing better to do.

Everytime you confront a biased fan about this they will argue that 'you just want a shooting zombie show, this show is about character development."
