I don't see why they decided to freeball it and just pass over all that stuff to make these scenes that are illogical (the entire girl running off bit) for the sake of cheap emotion. Because, to me, that's what it feels like. <br /><br />In the comic when Carl got shot and they met up with the Greene farm it was exciting, emotional and interesting. Episode 2 was a drag. <br /><br />Just saying, clearly I'm still watching, because I love Zombie - and I LOVE Walking Dead, but man, after every episode I'm asking myself WHY I'm still watching it. But I'm not going to let a show slide on terribleness because its a genre I, normally, really like.K.

Starks: I noticed the single file walking in the woods too, but I gave them a pass because it would be hard to have the characters talking if they were all 100 feet apart. If everything the characters did was totally logical and by the book, you'd end up with a pretty dry show.<br /><br />I guess your starvation theory makes sense, as to why the dead bodies locked up in the cars didn't turn into zombies. That means the zombification process is different in the TV universe than it is in the comic universe though.<br /><br />I agree it's not perfect, but it's the only zombie TV show we've got, so I'm willing to overlook some of the gaffes.<br /><br />RobS: "Shuffle of Zombies." I like that.<br /><br />Dawn: I'm loving the show too.

I don't see that any of the above points you made "murdered" any moments, well not for me anyway. And just one more point I think the collective name for Zombies should be a "shuffle of Zombies" not a herd.

Par for the course for Walking Dead. Starting off good in season one then fell apart.<br /><br />- I suspect the reason why people in the car weren't zombies is that they died from starvation. They've played the outbreak as a plague and that would require a bite or some sort of fluid exchange. I felt like explaining that without step-by-step explanatory exposition was one of the few nice touches of this episode.<br /><br />issues:<br /><br />1) "We're going to need a lot of people to help comb the forest to find the little girl." Okay, absolutely. THEN THEY ARE WALKING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. Killing me. There are two sheriffs there. They know how to do a search - single file is negative effective.<br /><br />2) "Only three of us are going to be carrying fire arms". So the rest of you should stand about twenty feet away in a cluster while we "sneak" up on a tent. What? Come on.<br /><br />3) Did you just have a tough guy soliloquy with Jesus? Are you kidding me? As terrible as the opening soliloquy with someone you probably won;t even be able to reach via walkie talkie, unless it's some sort of unlimited range walkie talkie. Which is magic. ALSO, Jesus died and came back. He IS a zombie. He's on their team, buddy.<br /><br />4) "Hey, Shane, why aren't you being nicer to Carl?" Come on. Seriously? You're worried about how the guy who SERIOUSLY JUST TRIED TO RAPE YOU is treating your son???<br /><br />5) If you have a knife, why are you hitting zombies with a rock? During that whole period I was wondering why Rick didn't have a knife. Then as soon as it's over, oh no, he's carrying one. Oh. Okay. <br /><br />There are more, I'm sure. Almost every episode is like that, anymore for me. Complete logic drops, behavior that makes no sense, ridiculous investments in cliche - these things murder the few decent moments each episode has (like the zombie herd). The comic is so good and it's already so far away from what made the comic and the characters so moving.K. Starkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085995219466782264noreply@blogger.com
