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. | ||

That way they could mix the boring drama with awesome Daryl adventures xD Yeh rofl, if I was him I'd screw the current group and go out alone. He could be rambo and mcgyver and a boondock saint at same time! | ||

He's such a cool character with alot of potential, but they don't seem to use him. Daryl is awesome too, however I feel it's the actor doing alot of the work rather than the character being well done. Reedus does it exceptionally well. | ||

I know we all like to imagine we'd be heroes in a situation like this, but honestly, some of their survival skills are really lacking. With the exception of the asian kid and the redneck with the crossbow, I'd seriously consider cutting myself off from this group in the interests of long-term survival. Finally watched ep 2: + Show Spoiler + How could the Sheriff's BFF and the fat guy be so inept at the end? They devised this great strategy to lure zombos away with the flares, but seemed to give ZERO thought to how they'd actually make it out once they had the medical supplies they needed and now they're trapped with a tiny bolt holding them out from the hordes (although you can bet they'll be saved). I really want to like this show but it's getting a bit boring. I find myself skipping the emotional turmoil of [insert character name] to get to the more interesting parts. It's nice to have character development but there's only so many angsty monologues you can take in an episode. This show is starting to rival Bold and Beautiful for concerned, 'meaningful' staring. Suffice to say, I'm going to stick with it--zombos are still cool and there's enough there to keep a cynic like me interested. Let's just hope I dont have to be so brutal with the fast forward for ep 3. | ||

Daryl is a likable character but he's playing that typical bad boy with a heart of gold role. I mean, is this guy for real? He helps rick track down sophia, save the black dude, and then he offers some of his medical stash? Give me a break. Either he's up to something real bad or TWD writers are lazy lazy lazy. Honestly, I think Daryl must have some sort of Special Forces background that's not telling anyone about. It really seems to fit his behavior (his bad ass survival instincts, his proficiency in combat, and the fact that he has a "medical stash".) | ||

Also I realize what the problem with the show is now. I actually like the story but it cuts off very abruptly and you feel like you don't get enough for 1 episode. The show develops at a slow pace which isn't bad in itself but not necessarily suited for the 1 hour format. I think if this show was done in 2 hour blocks it'd be more satisfying (or they need to tighten up on the writing a little to fit 1 hour). I think it's the opposite problem. Right now the show is kinda setup for being about 6-7 seasons to catch up to the comic books. + Show Spoiler [comics] + s1, s2 ends at prison, s3 ends with governer reveal/capturing of part of the cast, s4 ends with destruction of prison, s5 the aftermath of prison, s6 or 7 leads to washington, 7 or 8 has the initial chaos at washington | ||

It doesn't even feel like they are under threat of zombies anymore.. It's just like OH HEY there's a zombie.. just randomly thrown in behind a tree... Honestly it feels like they are more under threat from themselves. Maybe that is what the writers are trying to get through, but that's boring -_- Even the "flash mob" (lol) of zombies on the highway was pretty stupid. It pans out for a second over the highway and there is literally NOTHING around that small group of cars.. are you telling me a guy standing on top of an RV with binoculars can't see about 150 zombies coming from a mile away in a pack?.. So stupid. However I've still enjoyed it, I just hope it gets more entertaining.. | ||

although i must admit, episode 2 is kinda lame and why are the zombies faster now?!? and where's the little girl? and glenn barely spoke a line? but come on guys, it's still fine. i think our expectations are just so high since season 1 is some much awesome than season 2. i'm sure it will start to get exciting soon... my hopes are still high and i'm still optimistic. i think they're just having a hard time transitioning to 13 episodes. unlike season 1, everything is so fast paced and exciting since it has only 6 eps. but anyway, i'm glad to see herschel and maggie here... comics spoiler: + Show Spoiler + it looks like glenn will fall in love with maggie same as the comics. i was surprised to see otis in the show, totally different features haha i wonder if the tv show will have the governor, that's going to be exciting! | ||

With all the information given, the brain activity due to the zombie illness and such; I think that a nerve agent would actually be effective against these zombies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_agent If you ignore the main cause of death in normal healthy people (asphyxiation), since that wouldn't happen with things that don't need to breathe, All such agents function the same way: by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase which is responsible for the breakdown of acetylcholine (ACh) in the synapse. ACh gives the signal for muscles to contract, preventing them from relaxing. Also causes major nerve damage etc etc. Viola. | ||

Well, it's not AMC's best and most true to subject work, but it is probably the best zombie series/movie to date. Generally better than many other tv series that are currently on the air. I'd like to add that they do have characters making retarded decisions, but it's pretty much the same as the graphic novel. I'm glad you contributed your opinion to this thread. | ||
