The Walking Dead (TWD) is a show you either love or hate.

I agree with the author; besides being entertaining, we identify with the characters and their humanity.

I liked Falling Skies, then they ruined it with a ridiculously contrived Finale.

Well, at least they didn’t leave people wondering like the Finale of the Sopranos. LOL

Meh. I want a zombie show that centers on the zombies. Where's the zombie show that features a zombie as the hero? What about a plot line that details the undead relationsips between the unliving? Steamy zombie sex scenes?

I want to identify with the characters and their UNhumanity.

Falling Skies lost me when they strated bringing in the “Good Aliens” into the plot.

FS the first two season’s was good. The last season was written by the same idiots that didn’t know how to end Lost - it seems.

Meh. For a show with ~42 minute run time I can watch a DVR’d episode in about 7-8 minutes by fast-forwarding through all of the exposition designed to elucidate the character’s humanity or lack thereof.

Carol going from a battered wife to a psycho. Yeah, I really want to spend six seasons exploring that character development.

This is an interesting thread but I would ask that no one post any spoilers from last night’s episode as I have not seen it yet. If you feel compelled to do so PLEASE post “SPOILER ALERT” at the beginning of the post so I can scroll on.
