The Walking Dead


-HP-

Recommended Posts

I like the show but I feel the drama is kind of... forced, at times. There are some weird characterizations now and then too.

Is it just me who would've shot the white power guy? He's clearly unstable, wanting to make everyone his bitch. A threat to everyone's safety really. The world won't miss him probably...

Two things bother me more and more about the show:

- there is not one likable or interesting enough character, even the main character comes off as rather stupid

- massive logic flaws (so the blood can infect you then why are they messing and splashing around with the blood and the dead flesh all the time without care for protection? also trouble to find guns and amo in redneck country? give me a fucking break)

First point is fair enough but the second is hard to give it shit for. That's an issue with probably zombie fiction in general. 28 Days Later was the same, slicing zombies up in a spattering of blood and walking away with no worries about infection. I'll say though I wish it was something that was played up a bit more instead of being totally ignored. 28 Days used it to some effect with

Brendan Gleeson getting it in the eye.

The 5th episode was pretty meh. If it weren't for the show only being 6th shows long, as I just found out.... Lame :/, I wouldn't have cared so much. Honestly, this is a show they should have pulled the Lost thing with. Each character should have had a back story. They show how each character lived before the outbreak and how they survived. It was boring as shit in Lost, but would have totally worked in the Walking Dead. Anyway... Looking forward to the next.

yeah the finale wasn't too bad. it's a nice set up for a second season in which they actually get some money for vfx (that cdc building explosion was just poor) and can go through some more of the characters. I'd really like to see the love triangle thing get kicked out though. It gets annoying and in between the action (although I'd love to keep all of the three characters).

Meh, more cheesy plot and idiotic logic flaws. I really loved the pilot, episode two also was very good and promised a great show. From there it went straight downhill for the most part. Shitty script, mediocre (at best) actors, cheap production values.

Ther's hope that they will put more effort and money in the second season considering the success of the show in viewer numbers. But if it goes on like this early in the next season then i'm out.

Hehe, sounds like all tv shows to me. Hate & love relationship.

Have you seen the first season of Boardwalk Empire? It's a pretty much flawless tv show imo, it also ended last sunday. Really if it wasn't for the lenght you couldn't tell the difference from a great movie. Top notch actors, great production values and cinematography, fantastic script. Mad Men is also almost on that level. Season 4 was a marvel.
