"Sucked?" Disagree. I'd say it's been merely OK, but interesting enough to keep me watching. I will say that it took me three tries to sit through last night's episode.

It's a pretty big plot hole that they left open even last season when they initially introduced it. I didn't think the first season was as great as it was made it out to be, and this season so far is falling short of the high expectations it had.
The whole storyline so far revolves around the dumb little girl that has the attention span of a sack of rocks, who couldn't sit still for more than five seconds.
The whole storyline with Rick's son was built up in a ridiculous manner also. When they saw the buck (this is actually hilarious) and let him go after it, what the **** were they expecting the kid to do? I mean, was he gonna try and pet the damn thing? Was a little 10 year old boy gonna try and stab the buck to death with his two inch blade? It was just stupid, not to mention that unless you're Dick Cheney, it would be impossible to "accidentally" shoot a person while hunting.
I too am gonna follow the show through at least this season, but i don't like where it's going.

The acting is bad, the characters aren't likeable at all, the plot for this season is stupid and unbelievable... I'll keep watching, though.
What kind of moron adult lets a little kid approach a buck? That's just ******* stupid. And it's not like they don't know better because they're a bunch of ******* rednecks... That buck would have killed that kid if the most unrealistic shot ever didn't happen.
Seriously? The bullet went all the way through the thickest part of the animal and nailed the boy like 40 yards from the exit wound? That's just ******* stupid. It was a normal hunting rifle... The whole situation is ********. Everything about it.
I just really don't care what happens to the characters. I hope the little girl is dead in a ditch, completely eaten by zombies. I hope the mother offs herself. I wish the blonde chick would off herself or get eaten already. Shane is a *****. Dale is insufferable. The token black guy is horrible. The only decent character might be Darryl. If they all died, I just wouldn't care. I especially wish Carl just died so we didn't have to see his stupid ***** face anymore because he's a terrible character.
I'll keep watching through this season, but they might lose me. Especially with Dexter picking up steam and being on at the same time.

But I kind of agree with everyone else, just not to the same extent. I actually some of the characters, like Dale and Daryl. I like Rick for the most part too. But I can not stand the kids. Carl doesn't do anything and Sophia is a freaking moron. I know she is just 12 but she is still just awful. I've liked this season so far, but this episode was a low for me. Had some serious plot holes and it didn't move the story forward at all.

i hate amc, ive timed them out before and its usually close to a 1:1 show/commercial ratio, which is insane. Im very dissappointed as it appears they will drag this missing/shot kids story line out as long as they can instead of ending it and moving on to a new idea. just seems very lazy to me.
anyway, the kids need to die immediately, theyre annoying as hell. and the women can all go except ricks wife who is for the present tolerable. The other two are brutally annoying, and their is just a serious lack of zombie *** whooping going on. and when is the redneck's handless brother gunna come back into the story?
they just seem to move things along very slowly, like they ran out of ideas and need to drage these out or are saving them for future seasons. I still like the show but they need to step up and have some characters with some balls, frustrating to watch at times.

I loved when the one women who lost her kid looks at the blonde and says I hope my child doesnt end up like your sister". I laughed so hard at that, seriously can't believe they wrote that in the script. I don't think anyone would ever say something like that to a person who had lost their sibling, no matter what the current situation is. This show needs more zombies and less stupid annoying characters.

haha that was absurd. It wasnt even like it was a subtle back handed thing that she couldve said then realized oh wow that was offensive didnt mean it like that. That was just brutally stupid.
ive decided that if there is a zombie apacolypse that im having a timeout island reserved for anyone who is far too stupid to deserve to say the survived the zombie invasion or might be a danger/waste of space to other survivors. anytime a woman starts screaming uselessly or has no composure of any kind, she'd be toast. for example:
the blonde last night, the zombie is coming at her and she just screams at it like a dumb*** instead of yelling for help and fighting it. and why was she suddenly alone? or...
when she was in the bathroom of the bus-thing and couldnt keep herself quiet enough to avoid detection.
when the mother got mad at rick for...trying to save her daughter when she did nothing in the slightest to help as well.
they need to be sent off to this timeout island for a predetermined amount of time, determined by offense and number of offenses, like prison.
Oh yeah. I cringed really bad when the whiny mother said that... At that point I had to pause just so I could gather myself before venturing forth (BG reference, nerds). ******* horrible dialogue. Horrible acting. I'm starting to love watching this show for how much I hate all the characters except Darryl and how horrible the acting is and how horrible the dialogue is...

As bad as this show is, I'll still watch it haha. I love zombie stuff. I do hope a massive horde of super zombies eats everyone but Rick, Shane, Glenn, Darryl and Lauren Cohen, who played the Vets daughter, but only because she is hot. The rest can be zombie food for all I care. Especially Carl and super especially T-dog.
I guess Ricks wife can stay. She isn't bad.
And as bad as this show is, I'd much rather watch it over that abortion of a show that they turned Dexter into.

I think a lot of the problem people have is the network its on.. this show isn't in the same solar system as shows like Mad Men or Breaking Bad, so expectations can run high.
It's not a good show by any stretch of the imagination, and a lot of the writing is downright awful, but I can still sit there for an hour and be somewhat entertained. And sometimes that is enough.

I think a large portion of the first season actually was on par with their other shows, though. Which is why the crapfest that we've been subjected to in Season 2 is so hilarious.
(I did catch the blue meth in the drug bag! I almost didn't even think about it because I'm so used to BB that I expect to see the blue everywhere)
We're all bashing it - with great cause and good reason - but we also are all still going to watch it! I love this ****! There are times when it's difficult to watch, and we're all pissed there has been a complete lack of zombies so far...but it's enjoyable to watch whether it's being entertaining or hilariously terrible.

Also pretty much this. I hate when people say so and so is being too serious about a tv show because we have high expectations of something. Just because someone is ok with a weak start thus far doesn't mean we all have to. I'll keep watching for the same reason anyone else will, because I'm a huge zombie fan. This show just could be much more than it is.

My 12-year old sister came to visit me for a week around the time of the season 2 premiere, and she happened upon the pilot episode of The Walking Dead on my DVR while I was at work. I told her going any further is a bad idea, but she was adamant that she is old enough to decide for herself...6 episodes later she is now sleeping with the lights on and begging my parents to let her stay in their room. Traveling anywhere in the dark is out of the question. Poor girl.

Finally got around to watch first two shows from season 2 and I have to agree with everything posted here, it's terrible this season. I had to fast forward through to finish the second episode. What a disappointment. Just absurd plot holes/scenarios throughout. Only thing that could keep me watching this show is if they all got eaten and started over with the two rednecks, Daryl and his long lost brother.
Whistler6
10-26-2011, 01:35 AM
I don't think it's been terrible; I'm actually really enjoying season 2. The fact that not a single human has been killed-eaten-torn apart yet has me thinking they are trying to lull the audience into relaxation before letting loose here pretty soon. And instead of an entire show built around people surviving zombies, it's become as much a show about people surviving each other while the zombies tear the world apart. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I can easily set aside a couple of plot holes -- like why are the dead bodies in the cars not walkers -- and just enjoy a show that's really unlike anything else on television right now.

Agree with the general sentiment here: rotten characters that I hate (excepting a few), exceptionally dumb characters that wouldn't survive two days of an outbreak, terrible dialog, and worst of all super boring idiotic plots.
It's a freaking zombie apocalypse, there are so many interesting ways to go with that. Big budget or very low budget (thinking they are a low-middle budget show) it doesn't matter there are good choices for any amount of money.
Yet they choose to do absolutely NOTHING with it. And make the characters as stupid as possible. Worst writers, directors, and producers ever.
Im giving it a few more episodes to at least pick up the action.

This past episode was just so ********, I'm probably going to stop watching the show altogether now. They're taking the most far-fetched things they can think of and trying to make them seem normal.
Also, cliche storylines.
It's zombies, everybody loves zombies. How can you **** this up? It's harder to make people dislike zombies than like them.
- How the hell do Shane and the other fat guy not see 20 zombies when they lean on a fence and they all appear a second later, catching them by surprise?
- How the hell does a zombie survive hanging from a tree without physically being able to breathe? From the sound they make, you'd think they struggle enough with breathing, let alone if they actually (physically) can't do it.
- Characters are **** too, like many people have said. Only good ones are the guy from the Boondock Saints, the dad and kid from the first episode, and the zombies. All other characters are either one-dimensional (and with cliche, stereotypical things happening to them) or have absolutely nothing going for them.
- The mother went from a woman who suffered from domestic abuse but had trouble dealing with the fact that she kind of still loved her husband and wanted to keep her family (or the concept of it) together, to a woman who is worried because her kid is lost.
- Boondock Saints guy went from a total badass who's a loner and can deal with **** for himself, wants to find his brother and hates everyone for maybe killing him, to a guy who's apparently ok with abandoning his brother and now roams the woods protecting children and women and whatnot and just being a ******* Steve-Irwin like zombie expert.
- Asian kid and black guy are useless and add nothing to the story, old guy is just a watchdog, and girl who wants to kill herself is completely useless and just brings everyone's morale down.
- Why the **** do they all travel/more around at night? In the ******* woods? Staying put at night is, like, Zombies 101.
- I'd just like to see some real zombie storylines develop, not the standard, non-zombie **** happening here. We get it, lost and dying kids make for good storylines, leave that **** to Taken and Lorenzo's Oil. Instead focus on **** like how are they going to find food, how are they going to get more ammunition, how and where are they going to station themselves (you can't be ******* nomads forever). How about a character who's faith is gradually lost to the point that he just can't bear it all and snaps? How about a character who doesn't want to have to deal with anyone else and gets aggressive and kills people and whatnot (what Boondock Saints guy was supposed to be)? How about them finding people who are not conveniently located and helpful to them (a surgically-talented and equipment-prepared vet for when the kid gets shot).
- Acting is cringe-worthy bad at some points.
There's so much you can do with a zombie series, and somehow they managed to **** this up.

Honestly, what you listed as what they should do with characters and storylines doesn't sound any more interesting than what they are doing. It's not "that easy" to make an extended series about zombies. It's entirely new on this scale. If somebody just snapped like that, you'd probably complain that there was no character development leading up to it. The show is obviously a cash cow that is far from great, but some of these complaints are pretty pointless.

I actually really liked this episode. But I'm sick of the "Lost Girl" storyline. They have milked it for three episodes. I hope next week she either comes back or they find that ***** half eaten on a river bank.
Seriously, how hard is it for a 12 year old to find her way back? When I was 8, I could navigate the woods in my town so easily. This little girl can't find her way back to a highway 100 yards away?

I don't understand people having problems with the "hanging zombie?"

Or maybe he didn't hang himself correctly. You can obviously hear the walker breathing (albeit difficultly). That means he didn't do a good job making a noose.
The weird part about this show is that whenever they actually have some interesting characters, they are either killed off (CDC guy, Amy and Otis) or are never heard from again (Merle and Morgan).

I thought this episode was light years better than the first two, so I don't really get all the complaints and I REALLY don't get the nitpicking. No show is perfect, and this one least of all, but come on.. try to suspend reality for a few minutes when you're watching a TV show, especially one about zombies.
And yeah, it isn't that great of a show, but some of you are acting like it's the worst thing on TV and it isn't even close. Have you seen what they put on CBS these days?
Every week people complain about the same characters.. what do you expect to happen in a week? Some of these characters are awful, but complaining about them every single week isn't going to help matters, and they're not going to drastically change. All we can do is hope a few of them are eaten.
And lastly, I agree that the little girl storyline is far fetched and stupid, but it's going to be on a big part of the show until it's resolved, so you might as well get used to it.
FINALLY! A good episode...well, sort of... The episode was pure ass aside from the Shane parts. Too much Carl ********. NO ONE LIKES CARL! Just kill him off already.
In these sort of post-Apocalyptic stories kids could be a great part of the story. For example, in the movie "The Road" Viggo Mortensen character's sole reason for living was his son and it was a great part of the story.
You can tell that they are trying to do something similar with Rick and Lori, but something isn't clicking.
I didn't think the writers could make me dislike Shane's character any more than I already did, but they succeeded. What a dick move!
That's one of the few character's they've done a good job with. You're not supposed to like Shane. He does whatever it takes to survive and he does whatever is in his best interests. The Shane character has been consistent throughout.
In fact, Shane might be the only character on the show that's been done well. Even the one character we all like, Darryl, hasn't been very consistent. But Shane drives a lot of the storylines, and does a good job making us not like him for the right reasons.
But there are a lot of useless characters in this show. The blonde chick, the old guy, the token ethnicities (really, the ******* Asian guy is wearing a hat like he's the goddamn Indiana Jones kid...can that be more obvious?), the mother who's lost her daughter... These are all worthless characters for the group. They add nothing but mindless filler.
I fast forward through any scene involving the old guy, blonde chick, tokens, and Carl. I rarely sit through the Rick-Wife crap either.
The Asian kid actually started out well, but recently they haven't done much with him.
Maybe there is something more between him and that chick.

They were there to finish the mission for Carl's sake, so things had to get rough. It's messed up, but that's the world they live in right now. Worse things happened in the comics anyway.

It's painfully mediocre, it was ok last season and thus far has been pretty laughable this season. In regards to last episode I thought it was better than the first two, and was happy to see them continue with this dark path of Shane from last season. People watch the show for the concept of zombies because everyone ******* loves zombies, it has very little to do with the story telling, or the characters.
The second Otis agreed to go I knew he was dead. I didn't know Shane would take him out but still.

Yeah, it actually definitely has been. We watch it anyway. Acting: terrible, plot: terrible, pacing: terrible, characters: mostly terrible (save for Darryl and now Shane)... We don't give a **** about any of the characters aside from Darryl. That's kind of an issue if you have a zombie survival show. You're pretty much basing everything you do with the show based off of the audience having an attachment to the characters and caring whether they live or die.

In fairness to the show, the show's top guy, Darabont, left the show during production. I still enjoy it, and my only beefs are that the Sophia being in the woods plot is dragging too long, and that if T-Dog is a poor subsitutue for Tyreese from the comics. Beyond that I understand the show is going to be lacking in zombie killing every episode because that would get boring after a while. Zombies are complex villains, so a tv show in the zombie apocalypse after that would have to be something that spends most of its time on the human characters.

The pace of this show is zombie-like :D.
There was some good in this episode, but NOTHING HAPPENED... Just a bunch of people waiting for Carl to recover (should have let him die), and NOT looking for Sophia.
They stopped looking for her in S2:E1... It's like the writers decided it was a stupid angle, and just didn't feel like resolving it. No one's looked for her at all. All that ever happens is the mother cries about it (AND DOESN'T DO ****!) I mean, if my kid was missing in a normal situation, there's no ******* way you catch me sitting still... Nevermind in a zombie world...there's no ******* way I'm resting or hanging around while some other peoples' kid recovers from being shot by Cletus for being boring. There's absolutely no ******* way. I'd have said "**** you guys, come help me or don't, I'm not stopping."

I don't know why they changed Andrea from a cool character in the comics to an idiot ***** in the show. In the comics she was one of the characters that had the highest growth, but in the show she seems to be there strictly for conflict. As a matter of fact that seems to be the case for most women on the show. Lori was always a ***** that needed to die, but beyond that all the women in the show are just used to create more conflict among the characters. I'm not liking that.
I do like the rest of the show though. I'm glad that we got to see what was in Hershel's barn. I'm thinking that things will pick up big time now. I'm still hoping for my boy Tyreese to show up and use his hammer to bash some zombie heads in.

Glad to see them slowly killing off the lost girl search and trying to move on.
Gatta agree that I hate a ton of characters in this show as well. Basically everyone except Shane, Rick, Darrly, Glenn and Maggie.

At this point, I hope they find the little girl dead. I find the guys in the show (outside of T-Dog who I could care less about) are likeable. But I hate every woman. Rick's wife is a *****. Andrea is an idiot.
As for the lost girl's mom, why does she never look for her daughter. It reminds me of that part in Billy Madison where the teacher reads "The Puppy Who Lost Its Way." While all the guys are out there risking their lives to find her dumb ass daughter, little Miss Shaved Head spends all her time crying and doing laundry.

At one point Hershel says "I'm surprised you folks have lived so long" and I cracked up. They're so bad.
Seriously, please ******* kill off Andrea. Please. I want a zombie to eat every bit of her stupid face and body. She is so worthless. She is beyond worthless. I'd rather have Carol and Sophia for the duration of the entire TV series than see one more episode with Andrea in it.
Also, T-Dog is a stupid character and he has a stupid real name. It's IronE. Yes, the E at the end is capitalized. Why? Who knows. Probably because he sucks.

Andrea is the only female character, besides my beloved Lauren Cohen, that I can stand. Sophia's mom and Grimes's wife are just unbearable. Hopefully Sophia shows up as a zombie, and the mom takes Andrea's guns and kills herself.
LOL at Zombie Dance Party in the barn. What. The. Hell. You know all those things are gonna bust out at some point, which will probably be what forces the group to keep on moving. I just hope the hot girl doesn't die again.
They either have a moral obligation about killing zombies (which is why my future wife got upset when T-Dog bashed well walker's face in) so they've been hoarding them in the barn, or those are a bunch of their zombified hick friends and family that they don't want to kill.

Oh, and zombies apparently will chew on your boots but not your face if they come across your unconscious body. Good to know.

I know most here claim to like the majority of the male characters, but I can't stand Rick or Shane.
Both characters lack depth. Rick would be like 100% better if he wasn't so conflicted about being leader. He either needs to step down because he doesn't believe he is the leader or he needs to step up and just accept the role. The internal conflict every other episode is not fun to watch imo.
And Shane would probably be more interesting if he had something to live for. The character was neat in the beginning, but I no longer feel invested into the character. If they decided to kill him off next week, I'd probably just be glad that Daryl will get more face time in his absence.

I actually hate every character on this show. Well I like Darryl, and sometimes the asian kid but thats it. And TH, how the hell can you possibly stand Andrea? She is like hands down the most unsympathetic character I've ever seen. I think she is by far the worst character Ive ever encountered. I think this group needs to get eaten by the barn yard zombies and next season we need a new group to focus on, and get new writers.... AGAIN.
So hilarious that colonial sanders told Rick he's amazed this group is alive at this point. I ask myself this every time I watch an episode.

Haha I said the same thing in my post above. It was such a perfect line because it's sooo god damn true.
And I agree about Rick. He needs to either accept the role and move on or step down and move on. Every episode he has to "act" all conflicted about what he's going to do.. blah blah. I just don't care.
I do disagree about Shane though. I think he is kind of a badass and I hope something huge happens soon where he takes over the group, kills off Andrea, Sophie (if they ever find the stupid *****), Carol and T-Dog, and starts some actual zombie killing.
Also Lauren Cohen is hot and can stay with the new group.

Shane reminds me of Anakin Skywalker as he is turning to the darkside. Remember when Anakin goes to the desert and finds his mom. After she dies, he goes nuts on those people. "I killed them all! Even the women and children!" As he says that or as he kills them, the darkside music plays.
I see that with Shane as he shot the guy in the leg. I could almost hear the darkside music. Even the stuff he says no, and his attitude, I wouldn't be surprised if he turns pale in color, and his eyes start turning yellow.

In the first season, he is so jealous and mad that Rick came back then in the woods for half a second he aimed his gun at his best friend. The guy is a scum bag. I hope he falls in the pit of zombies in the barn!

Haha I love how they just completely ignored that storyline, and the old guy has still yet to say anything about him watching Shane do that. I swear everyone involved in this show has some sort of mental handicap.
Also can we get around to finding out what that dude at the end of season one said to Rick?
Shane is the only character in the whole ******* show that makes sense. He is conflicted for god reason and you're supposed to hate him...unlike every other character in the show. I actually cheered when he shot Otis.
TH has serious issues for liking Andrea. Worst character ever.
I love that we all watch every episode just to see how much worse it will get.

I'm slowly giving less of a **** about the show, i haven't watched Sunday's episode, and honestly i'm not entirely sure i ever will. I'm keeping up with the updates here and it really doesn't feel like i've missed everything. The plot has advanced like, three feet, since the beginning of the season.
How stupid is it that you could watch episode two, skip like three weeks and come back to episode six and not miss a god damn beat? This show blows.
Actually, the last episode was probably the best of the season.

I actually liked this episode quite a bit, but only because it featured a lot of Daryl and hardly any Andrea.

Nothing comes close to topping Otis getting shot by Shane and left to be eaten by zombies. That is far and away the best episode of the season. ****, that one even borders on being GOOD (and if the rest of the episodes hadn't been crap leading up to it, it could have been a great episode).

Can't say i'm disappointed that i haven't seen the last two episodes.
Holy ****, there was plot advancement...sort of!
Carl got out of his death bed and was making Carl faces like never before (somehow he went from deathbed to energetic kid in about 30 seconds).
The writers decided to start trying to make Andrea a bad ass even though she's the worst character ever and will always suck.
Glenn actually became a bad ass for real and increased his likeability from I almost would be upset if he died to I'd give a **** if he died. Shane, Glenn & his girlfiend, and Darryl are the only characters worth a damn. That's 4 compared to the 1 we started the season with. I guess that's good?
Dale's face after his confrontation with Shane was amazing. I want a gif of that face. Such terrible acting. I really ******* hate Dale. Really do.
Also, wtf was that gun club? 1. is ammo completely unlimited? 2. are they TRYING to attract a horde of zombies to their location?

You actually might be right D:. Lori has become soooo terrible and Carol is just ******* useless and pisses me off (why is she not looking for her kid?!) Even though Andrea keeps getting worse, those two have been getting worse at a much higher pace.

I owe you no such thing. She is still by far the worst character on this show, her learning how to shoot is just making her more irritating, what has she shot so far? A zombie two feet in front of her, a bottle, and Darryl in the face. Plus I found it hilarious that after she shoots one zombie, she all of a sudden can just start head poppin zombies like nothing. Plus screwing Shane is not hard to do, everyone screws him apparently. Anyway, I mean trying to pick who is the worst character on this show is damn near impossible, as all of them are less sympathetic then the zombies they kill. I still refuse to give you satisfaction with Andrea tho until she does something of real use TH! And wait? If next episode is seriously the finale, this season was a complete joke haha.

1. Shane
- He has bagged two of the like, three women on the show. He has to score some points for that, right? Plus, he kills fools mercilessly. That's all kinds of bad ass.
2. Glen
- His huge impact on season 1, and the fact that he's regularly banging the most attractive woman in season 2 is enough to put this little azn in the top two
3. Daryl
- they've pussified him this season, but he is still a complete bad ass. he's the only one that can hunt, and he can **** **** up without an actual firearm. he's been re-using the same damn arrows for like, four years now, that's gotta account for something.
