AMC's The Walking Dead

I was actually planning on catching up (starting) Breaking Bad sometime already. I've just recently realized how I'm robbing myself of good TV shows.

 

Yeah I will give Breaking Bad a shot instead and probably just wait until October to try The Walking Dead. That way if I like it I can just go straight into season 2 without waiting.

 

As soon as The Walking Dead deviated from the source material, it got lousy.

If the show had stuck to the books, it would have been gold. There was a perfectly compelling story to be told, but for some reason, the producers decided they wanted to draw it out into the second season. All that crap about an exploding CDC... ugh.

Carl, smoking gun in hand, fade to black. End season. Would've been epic.

Plenty of time to make up for it, though.

 

I was a little harsh, but the writing and acting of the people in the last 2 episodes just tilted me for some reason, especially that convoluted CDC thing that was probably there to just appease the masses.

Thankfully I think Darabont fired all the writers and is starting fresh.

 

Did he really fire every writer and started with new ones?

 

The article regarding Darabont firing the entire writing staff, except himself.

 

Thank you Comic Con.....this got me psyched for the new season:

^ Wow. That's crazy news.

Hopefully they don't f*ck it up and get Rob Rodriguez.

 

^^That's a bit unsettling -- But I think the source material is strong enough that if they get a competent replacement, the show will still be good.

 

I just watched through the first season in three days after seeing this thread getting bumped again. Amazing show, absolutely loved it, however the first episode and the second were clearly the best. I kept expecting that guy from the roof to bust in at any moment for a while. He apparently took their truck right? Do we just assume he's dead when they abruptly stop talking about him?

 

Agreed, Darabont may be gone...But they have people who can adapt from comics really well out there

 

Jesus!

What is so hard about this, AMC? You look at the comic. You make the actors do the things and say the things they say in the comic. You film it.

Success!

 

I can not say whether this is good or bad, only that it is very strange.

 

Webisodes -- I'm aboot to watch these (or try anyway, since I'm at work). Six part mini web series about the "bicycle girl" zombie.

By the way, has anyone else read volume 14 yet? My reaction: OH HELL NO

 

Yeah, I have.

Nobody's off-limits.

 

Glenn better be off limits. YOU HEAR ME, KIRKMAN?

 

wonder how this is all gonna turn out with no writers. I agree with the previous post about it starting out better than it ended....
