The Walking Dead

T-7 hours to new episode. Season 3 marathon on now.

Andrea has been pissing me off, but now I'd like her character to be killed off. Her naive stupidity is so unbelievable, it's irritating.

[Sean Hayden]

-agree

I still don't understand how any of them survived a week. The show should be called the walking dumb. I mean I enjoy it, but for fuck sake the characters are some of the most idiotic people on television and I watch "Britain's dumbest moron" every week.

Where is the fanatical discussion of the spread of 12 gauge buckshot?

He wouldn't dare do that if I worked there.

Yesterday's episode was weak.. Also I hate The Talking Dead. The host is supposed to be Ryan Seacrest or something?

I liked it. Whole parallel between black guy's sitch and Rick's and how Rick can cope while the black guy can't. Plus Michonne and Rick and the kid are beginning to like each other. How nice! Zombie Apocalystastic!

Now this one I was kinda iffy about. In what reality would those two meet each other in peaceable terms? Obviously they only met so the viewers could enjoy their interactions because they hadn't really met before if I recall, but it came at a cost to the believability of the story.

[Jason]

I missed the first 5-10 minutes of the episode. Suddenly they were meeting and I'm wondering if there was any prologue in the 5-10 minutes I missed to set that up.

I still really dislike Andrea. She's now the dumbest person on the show.

Actually the quality of writing seems to have really fallen off since the first season generally. It used to draw me in, but now I'm just watching because I've invested so much time already really.

Frank Darabont was kicked out or left as showrunner at the end of season one. A lot of staff were his "crew" so to speak, so perhaps the writing team changed. I've never cared enough to pay much attention. It's toffee.

[Jason]

Ah. I usually don't pay attention to that kind of stuff, but everything makes sense now (why the show seems badly written and more like a low-budget, cookie-cutter, episodic zombie flick with each passing episode - because it is!).
