I agree, I don't know why they felt the need to split all the characters up at this point and try to get into their "psyche". They should have developed them by season 2. The show has gone absolutely nowhere this last season.

Meh it's alright. Season 2 was by far the worst. This season has been quite slow, but part of it is explaining some of the newer characters back story. I used to love Hell on Wheels, but no longer. Character development is a good thing to a story, to everyone bitching about there not being enough action might I suggest watching "Ow! My balls!" instead. Explaining back story is not the same as character development.

Hated season 2 Gave it another chance with season 3 but stopped watching after. After reading a few spoilers, I regret nothing. |

1-2 and a couple episodes of 3 were pretty good..stopped keeping track after that. Just lost interest. Last I heard the governor was still alive for some reason and nothing has killed off Carl yet so just quit watching

Can't disagree. It's all about advertisement dollars. Every time I witness a scene, I cannot help but think about what it cost to film. Walking in woods with 2 actors - no set prep, low budget, high advertising based on success of series. Stupid story lines, low budget film locales = huge margin. Got to milk it. Walking Dead now blows anal nuggets ETA: Once zombies became ancillary to the story lines, the show jumped the shark. Agreed, it has turned into another soap oprea with a few zombies in the background.

I would have headed back to the prison. Guns, ammo, food, water, and a door to lock behind you. They cleared both the inside and the outside once before; this time they'd just have to get past the zeds inside the wire.
I'm not done watching the show, but this season there's a whole lot of stupid with zero lessons learned about survival. |

Compare him and his father to the young son of Vigo Mortensen in "The Road." That little kid was someone you really cared about, but Carl is just an annoying PITA who deserved to be put in "time out" somewhere in the woods and then left there. |

We have been pretty disappointed since they came back from the mid season break. We still have last weeks on the DVR, and watched "Worst cooks in America" on the DVR last night instead of the Walking Dead. Which is a bad sign. On another note, we did discover "Fringe", which has been really good.

At least if HBO had picked it up, it'd be an ADULT soap opera (bewbies!!!) with zombies.
I've been a viewer since the beginning, but it was doomed when AMC decided MAD MEN was worth more to them than TWD.... and the departure of Durabont. Our household is slowly departing from the "must see the first airing" TWD community, we'll watch it on demand whenever there's nothing else interesting on. |

IN... For OP's rant of next week's episode. I like Allahpundit's over at Hot Air: http://hotair.com/?s=walking+dead Not really rants per se, but he definitely knows what's up. About the whole "Why do you keep watching it if it sucks?" argument, here's the analogy: Your small town has a Mexican restaurant. It's the only Mexican place in a 50 mile radius. The food isn't that great. The restaurant itself isn't that great. Yet sometimes you want Mexican, so since it's the only choice, you eat there. That's TWD. It isn't good, but sometimes you want Zombies so it's the only game in town. I hope that some other network will start a good Zombie show so I can kick TWD to the curb, much like I would hope someone would open a decent Mexican restaurant so I could quit going to El Shittaco. |
