Terrible show. Just skip it.

Finished getting caught up this weekend and love the show. I think what I like most about it is that it's not like a zombie horror movie where it's all zombie attacks. It's a more realistic view of what it would be like trying to live in a world like that. My two biggest observations were:
1) I was totally on board with Shane's actions until he turned on Rick
2) I was glad when Dale got killed, he was pretty annoying
Looking forward to Season 3, and being able to read this thread now!

I'm sure this has been discussed in here but I'm not reading 100 pages to find out. Anyone know if the Black guy and his kid, from season 1 episode 1, come back into the show?
Rick left them behind and they were going to meet back up. That was the reason Rick wanted go back to get the walkie talkie in that bag.
I haven't read the comics, so this is just my opinion, but you've got to assume that they will. I can't imagine it not happening at some point. I think the show's ratings are popular enough that there are definitely going to be a few more seasons and I would bet cash money we see them again.

I've worked my way through the first 5 or 6 installments of the comics. Definitely looking forward to Season 3. Now I see why people were anticipating the prison, Governor, etc. -- this is different and more promising than what I was expecting.

Do we really need spoiler tags for the first episode?

In regards to the "spoiler" conversation...I'll be talking about an episode the minute it airs.
Being on the left coast...I'll stay out of the thread at 6pm on the nights it airs because people on the East coast will be doing the same.
If for some reason I dvr and can't watch the episode the night it airs...I'll be staying out of the thread until I can watch it and get caught up.
Do not expect me to scream "spoiler alert" about anything that has already aired. If I haven't gotten caught up...then that's on me. We're not gonna treat this like public schooling where we slow the class down in order to coddle lil' drooling Jimmy...he's gonna have to keep up or hit remedial until he's able to join the speed of the front running pack.
Keep up or keep out of the thread until you are caught up...otherwise keep quiet.

Just rewatched the first half of last season and on second viewing it was better than I thought.
The Sofia thing, though dragged out, wasn't brought up too much so it wasn't a big deal. The characters were built up nicely I thought, to what eventually happens later. Not much action, but again, this isn't an action series. Getting rid of Dale later is such a plus as it gets rid of a horrible character and actor (I thought).

The last three episodes of season 2 are terrific.

I like how they are all $15-$30 except Darryl which is $130! I was going to get my GF the DD action figure for Christmas but not at that price.Action figures will be ready by..... You guessed it.. Halloween!!

If Carl doesn't make it unwatchable for you, Michonne sure won't.You're right. When you're pessimistic about something, the best thing to do is to just give up entirely.So stop watchingSo dumb. I'm afraid they're going to take a poorly written but very entertaining show and just make it completely unwatchable.
I gave in and watched the last 4 episodes or so of season 2 because the teasers for 3 got me excited. It's still mind numbing how bad that kid is. Sure, he's a kid, but he's the worst child actor I've ever seen. Probably comes from his screen mom. Fortunately there was enough action for me not to get caught up in critique. Saw kind of a lot of Tbone it seemed, wonder if it's leading togoing downtown with Michonne! The shark move was kicking back and not getting involved until he meets the only badass chick in the world and then swoop in
Also, really don't like the look of the Governor.

I have a question that maybe I missed discussion on but one thing really bothered me about the Shane finale. I thought Shane was taking Rick somewhere isolated to do the deed, but it seems like he took Rick to a field that's in plain view of the house and Carl was able to see them and come over. Did I miss something or is that just one of those things we just have to accept as a plot device? Also, why did Shane turn so quick but Dale stayed regular dead long enough to bury, as did the other inhabitants of their little graveyard? I admit to watching the final 3-4 episodes late at night and may have drifted off a bit here and there so your help is appreciated.

I recently started watching this show, partly because I saw a 100+ page thread here. I watched the first two seasons on Netflix in about a week. I love the show, but I have a feeling I am going to hate waiting for a new episode each week. That is the great thing about catching up on a series all at once.

For the first question, just typical sloppy TV/movie writing. I've always laughed about it. They supposedly walked for hours off into some remote spot in the wilderness, only to end up 100 yards from the barn. They must have been walking really slowly.For the second question, I believe that Jenner mentioned in the S1 finale that the amount of time it takes to turn varies from person to person.'mad sweeney said:

I'm very aware of that nugget. That's why I stopped watching mid season. I just thought that having the barn in plain sight couldn't be as sloppy as I thought it was because that's pretty bad, even by this shows standards.

Did you see the episode when they lowered the Asian kid into a well where a walker was waiting for absolutely no reason whatsoever?
Charlie Frown
Footballguy
I thought they were trying to get a rope around it so they could pull it out of the well? Either way they failed since it's ### fell back in.

it was contaminating the water so they wanted to get it out.. didnt work out too well

Toys R' Us will carry them. I also know Game Stop has carried McFarlane figures in the past.ive looked all around (the web) and can't find it for much cheaper.
