Discussing the show and past episodes is fine. Do not put things that have happened in the TV series in spoilers. However, don't spoil things from the books that may happen in future episodes. Put book spoilers in spoiler tags with a CLEAR WARNING that it is from the book. | ||

you watch the show because you want to find flaws I watch the show because I enjoy the general premise of a zombieapocalypse survival show. And neither of you is wrong. Watch the show and enjoy it for whatever it brings to your life, whether that is finding flaws or watching zombies get shot. You still enjoy the show. No two people like something for the exact same reason in most cases. I'm sure the reason that I like starcraft is totally different from yours but we both like the game. Nothing wrong with how either one of us does it. I personally love the show. I hate zombie movies in general but I feel that this is more of a drama than a horror flick. My one flaw that almost made it unwatchable was the main characters best friend hooking up with his wife. That always fucking happens. I told my wife that if she hears that I'm dead and I come back to find her with my best friend, brother, anyone really, I'm killing both them bitches. | ||

On a side note about them not seeing the zombies coming. That is a recurring theme throughout zombie apocalypse books/movies. Right when everybody starts to get happy and settle down, they relax, and don't take the precautions that normally would have. Such as building a bigger fire, laughing and talking loudly, cooking fish, etc. The one thing I thought was kind of lame is how fear-striken everybody was. It's already well into the apocalypse and they should be used to seeing the dead. But oh well.. It's a shame that girl got bitten though.. she was hot  | ||

I didnt like the whole gang scene, it felt like another silly filler also why is Andrea so much older than in the comic? If I recall correctly the comic Andrea was something like 24 but I can live with that. Also why the redneck is in the show, is it that we absolutely need to have that one person to hate :O I kinda liked the balance they had in comic but I hope that it fixes itself too. Very enjoyable show and is going in the right direction so I can't look forward until next episode  | ||

I don't really like Meryl (however the hell you spell his name), but his brother is freaking awesome. It's like the Boondock Saints all over again . | ||

His brother is getting better true but I dont know, maybe I'm just a big comic fanatic but I liked the balance they had because + Show Spoiler + they are going to get more people with their travels, and soon actually they should meet up with a interesting fellow so I just feel there are too many characters to devolep. But likeI said I think it's getting better now so I'm happy | ||

Just saying it seems to be more of a human drama with an excuse to throw all these different people in a situation together (zombies), than an action filled zombie left 4 dead type series. Not sure if that's intentional, as I haven't read the books or w/e. Different from what I was expecting, but decent compared to the rest of the crap that's on tv. | ||

What are you complaining about? The show's supposed to be about the drama of living in a post-apocalyptic world. And no shit, the people did not know zombies were going to make there way up to where they were. I agree entirely with this + Show Spoiler + On November 23 2010 01:40 Darpa wrote: the flaws dont particularily bother me, what bothers me is that nothing happens in the episodes. Literally nothing happened last night except the zombie attack at the end. The mexican gang might have been good if they developed it a little bit. But instead they started the storyline and ended it within 20 minutes. Seems kind of like pointless filler. I still enjoy it tho won't be a pointless filler if we end up seeing them again or coming back to that subplot in a future episode though will it? but you're assuming we will never see them again ofc, and criticizing the show based off a pretty big assumption | ||

It entirely has to do with the fact that there is no dividing all between the van's front seats and the compartment. The zombies would have ate Meryl before he even got anywhere. Also, how did he get the zombies in the van? Did he lure them in himself? Possibly, but when you're left to die you suddenly become more resourceful than you probably gave yourself credit for. Either way we'll find out shortly! | ||

In his mind he got left on that roof to be eaten alive on purpose, so he wanted to do the same to them.. The reason they didn't hear anything is because Merl cut their 'defense system' or whatever that was. I mean, they probably survived in that camp for a month or even more without any incidents except for the deer-eater-geek, so they simply didn't expect that many at the same time. | ||

Are you saying Merle would lure zombies into the camp where his brother is? He doesn't seem to be the type of person who would be willing to sacrifice his brother in return for revenge against the camp. | ||

My problem is the much of the stuff in the middle just bored me. I'm not interested in the Merl storyline at all, but they are spending a lot of time on it. The hospital bit felt pointless. There is a lot of exciting stuff that happens in the comics that the tv show could expand upon. Instead I'm unhappy that they decide to add random additional things. It's my personal opinion but the whole show seems kinda slow and unfocused to me. The ending definitely gives me hope though! | ||

Well, he DID seem a little insane after that.He just had to cut his hand off and cauterize his stump w/o any anesthetic.. I'd just really hate if that pack of zombies just happened to randomly wander into the camp without them noticing anything, when they managed to survive like a month without any problems. My problem is the much of the stuff in the middle just bored me. I'm not interested in the Merl storyline at all, but they are spending a lot of time on it. Everyone just keeps saying "I'm" "mine" "my".. If you were the writer you could have done it your way.The ACTUAL writers did they their way. Nothing to complain about. Personally I find Merl's storyline interesting, a crazy dude who thinks everyone hates him and left him on the roof to be eaten alive on purpose, coming back at them is pretty exciting. | ||
