I've never read the comics but a coworker told me


Now I've read the comics, but for other people's consideration, there is a spoiler button for a reason...

Eh. From what I understand the graphic novel is mainly about how humans deal with a zombie apocalyptic world. So I'm not suprised they're dealing more with character issues than zombie attacks in most episodes. The problem is the writing and acting is so forgettable that we want to see less talk and more zombie slaying.
Shane going ape **** is perfect I think. How the hell would you think if some woman you were shagging and possibly impregnated is like "screw you, maybe this baby is yours but I'm having it with my idiot, idealist of a husband. Oh but I want you to stay with the group because you're useful for saving us".
The whole scene with Rick helping "lead" the zombies into the barn only drove home how marsupialed he could be. I accept his reasons for agreeing to do so but from Shane's eyes (plus many of their group) he looks the fool.


Yeah, Rick looks the fool but I think he is still in a way the one who is actually making the hard decisions. Going ape **** is kind of the easy way out in a sense. I think that they showed him putting one in the dome of Sophia while everyone else - including Shane - kind of showed this.

i enjoy the show but the big issue for me is there is no one to root for. rick is a pussie with bad judgement, shane is an asshole with bad judgement. dale is an odd duck, lori is a ho, the blond is a twat, the black guy has no dialogue, sphia's mom has bad hair. i guess the redneck and glen are all we've got.

redneck is cool but you're basically right, i don't like the rest of them neither.

in the first episode he met up with the black guy and his son, they ended up parting ways when rick went off to atlanta. he promised to try to keep in touch through CB broadcasts, and did in the first couple episodes, but then.. it all vanished.

we don't know the redneck brother is dead - he did escape from the roof.

also, how can they STILL be on the ******* farm. i mean, i guess the episode was ok, but seriously...
