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.

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.

I just want to know what oil, gas, batteries, sparkplugs, and solenoids all those cars the survivors get in and they just start right up..... 2 TO 4 YEARS AFTER THE ZOMBIE APOCOLYPSE STARTED!

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.

I had to stop watching after three or four episodes of season one, because of the ridiculous portrayal of the racist white guy, and absurd, calculated diversity of the cast

I like The Walking Dead but I think they should do a series on the Haitian Voodoo Tic Tac rattle torture undead.

When people tell me they don’t watch the show because they don’t like “zombie” flicks, I generally tell them that the major drama of the show is the conflict between the group of survivors, conflict with other groups, usually violent and just trying to survive in a very violent, world. Sort of a Lord of the Flies scenario. They could have made much the same series in any post disaster environment. IF all it was about was fighting zombies it would have gotten boring and repetitive by the third episode. I generally don’t make much of an impact though.

Humanity is about survival.

True. If it were about survival they ain’t doing such a great job. They die for stupid reasons.

I need a new pair of dollar-store glasses. I thought the header said, “Hannity”.

I watch for one reason only,....The pro gun people rule! The wussy peacenicks show they are bound to die and can't learn. Myself,....I'm waiting for the guy with the stick to get his guts strung along the fence. You notice the old lady with the short grey hair went from idiot to killer toot suite when she figured her way wasn't working. The Elvis impersonator needs to be written out pretty soon also. Either that or start whacking skulls with a crowbar. Living behind the skirts wanting to protect him can't last long. Exactly what use is the preacher that let his flock die?

I predict more thinning of the heard in the future.

The most depressing show on television. The TWD world is a pretty good definition of hell. Worse, it’s gotten stale. The plot arc of each season seems to be “Rick and his pack of survivors move to some new place, have various psychodramas, things go to hell, a black character dies, the zombies attack, Rick and crew bug out...” and repeat. This season I think they’ve jumped the shark.
