chalkdustin Just started watching this as well and I've got a couple of episodes left... LOVE the zombies, really think they did a good job with them... but the B-grade actors and consequently some of the acting kind of gets on my nerves, just my opinion. I hate to see a good idea done half-assed, but I'll watch the rest and I'm still looking forward to season 2!

Snico Read the trade paper backs! Totally different story line, way better than the show, so far IMHO. No spoilers, but you'd be surprised to read who dies in the first and second books. But the show still rules. I'm glad to see stuff like that on network TV. I will fo sho be watching the season premiere tomorrow.

Agreed. The acting ranges from melodramatic to plain bad. There were also some major editing gaffes in the first season.

BUT

I love all things zombie and I'll continue to watch every episode. Im dvr-ing it now. I never read the comics and Im dying to know what that scientist whispered to Rick at the end of season 1.

i can agree on some of the technical effects in season one were... well not the best... but

one way too look at it though is that this is about zombies, and most all classic zombie flicks are low brow low budget movies filmed with b list actors and actresses. so it is kinda fitting in a way.

TannisRoot That kid got what he deserved. Anyone who gets that mesmerized by a deer needs a bullet through the gut.

All in all a nice suspenseful episode. Hiding under the cars while the herd passed through was tense.

And I've decided the only guy who can legitimately act is the badass with the crossbow. He's good.

Where's Merle??!!

@AltimusJones
I get that zombie stuff is inherently corny. I'm just not convinced that's what they're going for in this show. It feels like they're really trying to pull off legit drama but the performances and dialogue aren't hitting the mark for me. It reminds me a little of The Stand in that regard. I loved The Stand but I rolled my eyes almost the whole way through.

Back to the Walking Dead premiere, mehhh. But those coming attractions look very promising. I can already see some characters from the books that are going to be making an appearance. It should be a really good season.

PhilthyAndrew Permalink
the start of the 2nd season blew me away! i loved the first season, but i have a feeling this new one is gonna top it in all aspects. the 2 main cops act all John Wayne-ish and that's annoying, but i have a feeling they will pull it off.

my buddy also swears that the graphic novel is better, but from what he's said it's not the same story line as the novel.
Score: 1

LouisvillePhan Permalink
LouisvillePhan Good first episode. I like the way they dialed up the suspense.

But the bad acting or writing or whatever it is does get in the way of really loving the show, especially when you compare it to how great the acting on Breaking Bad is.

Long stretches of boring dialogue between characters you just don't care about. It's like watching a porn because you just have to skip over the pointless banter that leads up to the money scene with the zombies.

LouisvillePhan Permalink
LouisvillePhan It is from the very first episode. I dont want to spoil it for you, but since you asked...

He got shot and was left for dead in the hospital when the dead started walking. The idea was basically ripped straight from 28 Days Later, but it is still entertaining.
Score: 1

chris_22 Permalink
chris_22 The Walking Dead is supposed to be like a graphic novel meets video game. Take a step back and you can see the objectives of each move each character takes. The first season is pretty damn good. You should watch it.

Now, for the people who have watched from the start, I am afraid that is episode just took the show in the wrong direction.

Thoughts?

mangobrain Permalink
mangobrain I dug the first season. I've got to get another episode under my belt in the second to truly get a feel for what's going on, other than the obvious zombie-filled, apocalyptic scenarios. Although blasphemous, I've got to admit that, not being reader of graphic novels, I've largely disregarded its origin and enjoyed it merely as a series. I'll refrain from passing judgement at the moment, while affirming that the ending of the second episode has me coming back for more.

@forbin1

I've been on a tear watching this show ever since I caught up with Breaking Bad. AMC has been putting great series out lately. But anyways, I'm two episodes away from being caught up (I believe) and I watch my episodes at projectfreetv. Just type it into google and it's the first website that comes up. It just provides links from different websites that you can watch the show from. It streams and the quality isn't anywhere near HD quality, but it suffices. Just choose the link that has a 100% "it works" or something like that. For episode 4 the link did not work on project free tv, so I just used to the website tv-links. Same procedure, and same idea for the website.
