The Walking Dead

im losing interest

[thekidd21]

i think this show is very promising. not sure how long they can keep the story going tho without it getting drawn out

[Humpzilla]

So far this show has shown no reason for anyone to lose interest. This is a series about the zombie apocalypse -- This isnt' fuking "Lost" we're watching.

This is the zombie genre, GHJK, most of these characters are going to get killed off. And The Boondock Saint guy is suppose to make you not like him. That's kind of the point....

Seriously, This is cable tv.....its not HBO. There's restraints on what these people can do.

And who cares about the characters. I find the production value, the sets, and the overall writing of the plot to be so much more entertaining.

Go watch Entourage. The Walking Dead obviously isn't for you.

i find the main character someone to route for, and the black guy and his kid

the story is horrendous so far for me. dudes wife is f*cking the friend in a month at best. dude survived off an IV for a month? why do 90% of zombie apocalypses take place in worlds where nobody has heard of zombies. like grits said, the whole racism thing was just forced and pointless. another forced and pointless scene was the shoplifting conversation... on a freaking scavenging run? should i continue to do what i came here for? basically believe it was just to set up a future romance between her and main dude. the only characters i give a damn about so far is the main guy, asian dude for saving him and the father and son from episode one. in all honestly the covered in guts thing for how badass it was; kinda silly.

PRETTY MUCH, the "normal" conversational dialogue is the hardest part to get by. the racism thing, the shop lifting, the freakin opening convo of the premiere about leaving the lights on?? the casual interactions are mind boggling bad for how INTENSE and awesome the crazy ass interactions are. which is where it gets good.

visuals, directing, music, settings, half the acting. its all good. the first episodes emotion was awesome. then the second episode went WAY downhill in that department. but its a series. its just getting the wheels rolling. but i really fear the non-zombie related, non-end of days related, normal human drama will never get bearable.

for me!

still watching though. so i should stop whining.

to answer a few of your complaints...

#1 Sherrif Rick Grimes was only in a coma for 2 weeks.

#2 Deptuy Shane told Rick's wife that Rick was dead. She felt she needed to be with him to protect her and her son. Its the only reason she was with Shane, and shuns him when she found out the truth.

#3 They have heard of zombies. Glenn (the chinese pizza boy) makes light of it when telling Rick to "shoot em in the head, like the movies".

#4 They went to Altanta to get supplies, but also to try to warn any other survivors who might be headed there.

#5 Have you ever been to Georgia? There are PLENTY of redneck racists like that dude and his brother.

Quite side note, if anyone wathces "entourage", there was epsiode where the writer Frank Darabont wants Vince to be in his Tv show. Vince declines saying he "doesnt want to play the same role every week".

The role was Sherrif Rick Grimes in "the Walking Dead".

I read the comic in 2003 and its pretty close. The biggest difference I see so far is that Rick and his familt were from Kentucky not Georgia.

Horrible show(entourage)! Im not saying WD is 100% terrible and im giving up, but the wife husband triangle love thing is way too soap operaish for me. Next weeks episode looks pretty action pack, I dug the first ep but the 2nd was bleh, hopefully #4 is better, its zombies for probert sakes it has to get better what else is on!?!

I see what you're saying, GHK. But again, you have to remember -- this is a show about zombies, with tons of gore, made for cable tv -- there's going to be some things you're going to have to accept for the sake of the show. In the end, its not like this series was picked up by Spike TV or for the Sci Fi channel. This is the same network which puts out "Mad Men".

Ultimately, for a show like this to be critically received, and given the kind of adverting push its gotten, some adjustments of its content have to be expected. The women folk have to get some fun out of The Walking Dead, ya know?

im to where they just left the farm. i got a version with all the books jammed together without the covers and stuff so i kinda miss where one issue ends and the other picks up. but im roughly 260pgs into 1600ish.

Last nights episode was good but it didn't change my opinion that the dialogue and acting are pretty bad at times. What really saves the show for me are the moments where there is little if any conversation and where rely primarily on visuals which are, in my opinion, some of the best on TV.
