Walking dead the amc show now it sucks SPOILERS

edited April 2012 in The Walking Dead
Ok just watched the latest episode and holy f... DALE !!!!

He was one well the only likeable character on the show I feel that since my favorite character died I really feel no need to watch the next episode.

And the episode itself was just horrible lot´s of stupid arguments going back and forward Dale being the only sensible in the entire group.

While Shane as usual being nuts and now Rick being blood thirsty.

The group no longer has any characters that I am rooting for even Glenn who is just a flip flopping coward, when it comes to the though decisions just backs out.

I am rooting for the damn zombies that this point you just want this morons finally getting it.

Frank Darabonts departure really has hurt this show.

    Yeah the racist character is the most likeable one when that happens then you know you have a problem.

    Seriously? Dale was the most annoying character in the show, I'm glad he died. The only one I felt bad for was Carl cuz it was kinda his fault but otherwise my only feelings were that it was a cool death scene and ending to the episode. He was stubborn, annoying, and he never stopped talking and that is exactly what everybody I have talked to about the show has said. When Darryl dies, then the show will suck, but until then I think we will be fine even when we lose Shane, although Shane really is the only one who really understands how to live in that kind of world. Im glad that he is making Rick like him because Rick was too soft throughout the show. :D

    Yeah but Daryl is really not a cool character a guy who drives a motorbike with nazi ss logo on is not cool as far as i´m concerned.

    And thank god that the comic is better.

    In that world it doesn't matter what logos are on a bike as long as you got a bike.

    Dale was a nice guy, but this is how The Walking Dead works, you never know, what will happen next. A small mistake could mean you're dead. What the hell is he doing out there by his own, careless. I mean, if you're in the dark in THAT world and you got a flashlight, at least use it! He got careless because of his feelings.

    On the other hand, if he wouldn't die, the walker would reach the farm. someone else could die...

    I like both, the show and the comics.

    You're not going to watch anymore because Dale is dead? You do realize it's just a show right? You should probably go outside and play.

    Plus its a show where plenty of people will die.

    But interesting where is the show at in terms of location? Where are they, Dale shouldn't have died this early.

    Dale and Jimmy were the only characters that even remotely resemble the ones in the comics.


    I stopped watching when the characters stopped being scared of the zombies. Though I understand how they are not as the shows zombies travel neatly in packs and once they've gone, it's all safe for the children to wander where they want. No unexpected half-rotted zombies crawling around or anything.

    Also, what's up with the scenes with 1 or 2 zombies chasing people? That shouldn't happen, you can jog faster than they move.

    Then there's the terrible dialogue that sounds like some crappy cop series.

    I have high hopes for Telltale delivering on the game though. They at least seem to understand the Walking Dead world, absolutely unlike the TV writers recently.

    Here's how I envision the script runs for every episode:

    PERSON 1: I disagree with how you want to do this, and I'm going to get all angry and in your face.
    PERSON 2: Oh yeah? Well I disagree with you! Angry! Face!
    PERSON 1: Well that didn't resolve things. I'll tell you what, we'll have this exact same conversation before the end of the episode. You go and talk to angrily to someone else. I'll do the same.

    Repeat endlessly, with the occasional zombie.

    I don't remember Darryl being racist to anyone in it so far? just cause he has a bike with ss on? so far he has just been angry with people, then came round when the little girl went missing and you saw the real him, but he got angry again when the mother said she thought she was dead all along and just gave up hope after all the searching he done.

    the one thing i agree with the Shane character is that their old lives don't mean squat they have to adapt to this new world, so Darryl may have been a racist or a white supremacist or whatever but now that don't mean crap in the world their in. they have to stick together.

    the show aint perfect by any means and is starting to get a bit preachy, but im sure they will ramp it up.
  • edited March 2012
    Once people start to relize the series isnt really about the zombies its about the people living in this new world maybe people quit qqing. Show is awesome and easily ones of the best on television at the moment and yes ive read the comics and i know the show doesnt follow them at all.
  • Merle was the white supremacist. It's his bike that Daryl's riding, and you can see the SS symbol on the bike.

    This comic from 'The Gutters' last week pretty much nailed The Walking Dead.

    Shane never made it to the farm, but Otis made it to the prison. They are changing just enough to keep it interesting. I hope the game doesn't just have different characters following the same path.

    Yeah, that sums my feelings exactly. The writing is just so sub-par compared to what Kirkman produces. Just compare Episode 4 "Vatos" of Season 1 (actually fully written by Kirkman) to any of Season 2s.

    Also, what Kirkman manages to show in his episode is that the biggest threat are living people, not the living dead. The second season feels like nothing is a threat.

    well i think the show will get better if they leave the farm , im liking it so far
  • edited March 2012
    Nah, after the farm they'll just sit around the prison arguing. With only two episodes left in the season I can't see them making it there anytime soon. This kid that they've been arguing about what to do with for the last four episodes, the leader of his group will be the Governor. So we're stuck with the farm for a while yet.
  • edited March 2012
    OK, I must admit, overall the second half of season 2 is really starting to pull it back now. Maybe it was just a bad batch of episodes? One to go and it looks set to be a good zombie siege...

    The last two episodes have been amazing.

    Darryl is the start of the group of characters that aren't in the comics, bro. Considering you seem like the person who couldn't care less about character development, I'd think Darryl would be your favorite person considering he just goes around being a boss shooting zombies in the head.

    If you read the comics and actually understood what they were about, you would truly appreciate the art that Kirkman has achieved with this show so far. Character development has always been the main theme, not the zombies.

    Kirkman had to emphasize the point that anyone is going to die to the audience. They had to take someone to kill that was a major character, Darryl hasn't had a very important role in the group since his came back to the farm with the zombie-ear necklace and Lori isn't going to die until she is carrying her little girl in her arms running from the Governor, plus it is to early for her to die anyways. No one else is a sensible choice right now.

    Who else do you think would have had the impact Dale had in dying? Sure it sucked because Dale was a great character, but he's dead and it had to be done in my eyes.
  • edited March 2012
    Just wondering who is happy to see Shane finally get killed off?
  • edited March 2012
    I was, and definitely the way they did it. We see Rick break down and kill Shane, then we see Carl point the gun at his own father- which emphasis' the struggle between Shane and Rick for the support of Carl, and then we see Carl pick his father and blows Shane's zombie head. It was awesome. :3

    I found it to be a little anti-climactic, though at the end where Carl was pointing the gun at his father, but instead shoots shane was a fantastic scene.

    Wait...
    Sophia died?

    Ok I'm Netflixing this, she hasn't died at all in the comics.
  • edited March 2012
    It isn't Kirkman's style to let a little girl run into the woods and come back fine. :S Sophia doesn't have much of an impact thus far in the comics, honestly, I wouldn't miss her if she died there.

    True. but the twins ran into the woods and one came back fine, but crazy if that means anything.
  • edited March 2012
    When the twins ran into the woods, that was win one of them killed the other, right? :S And besides, they found the twins pretty soon I believe. Sophia was running and obviously got bitten because Otis put her in the barn, but if she hadn't been bitten so soon it still would have been hard to find her.
  • edited March 2012
    Dale & Daryl are my favorites too. I wasn't expecting Dale to die until season 3. Have to admit though...I saw the TV show BEFORE I read the comics, & like they say, you always prefer whichever one you saw first.

    But look at it this way guys, the more you hate the others, the more fun their inevitable deaths will be. & in Walking Dead, you die twice.
  • edited March 2012
    You almost have to put yourself in the mindset of the characters on the show and not get attached to them...

    Hey, that's actually a great viewpoint! I also heard that Kirkman actually lives in LA now to supervise the show, so I think I'll give it another chance.

    It also had merle's drugs. when T-Dog got injured at the start of season 2 being cart from scrap metal darryl's like Why didn't you tell merle's we needed pain killers. Merle's always loved drugs. Then he gets them from the saddle bag on the bike.


    Also i'm happy shane is off the show now. His plans have sucked just as much as rick's have if not more so. He has no more right to lead then Rick does and rick is actually the one who got them out of the CDC, TWICE.

    Once by convincing jenner to let them escape and the other by blowing out the window.
  • edited March 2012
    the last two episodes were like a totally different show, compared to the start of season 2. really enjoyed it though. cant wait to see what happens next.

    do you think they will add some new characters who didnt appear in the comics when they get to the prison??
  • edited March 2012
    If they do it will not be a that big of an addition, the prison obviously looked abandoned and I would bet Kirkman would only want the four or so to join Rick's group as a conflict for him. I read that the writers were wanting to bring in Tyrese, so that is another three or four people from the comics to bring in.

    Then we have the governor and his group... <.< There are going to be so many humans next season, provided we see Tyrese. Which we probably will.

    In other news, in an interview with the head writer guy for the AMC show he mentioned that he and the other writers have planned for the prison to be in the full third season and also into the fourth season. Happy or not about this? He also mentioned characters in Rick's group will be out of the prison more so the fans do not get the same feeling as with the farm. (Wheres when the group was at the farm, they were literally always at the farm. Now they will be showing them whilst venturing outside more.)

    Well, the prison in the comics does take up a significantly longer time period than the farm (if I remember correctly), so this makes perfect sense to me.

    After watching the last two episodes (yes I knew that said that would not watch it but could not contain myself) I have to say that this has really become more interesting I was just so shocked that Dale had to go so early.

    But I will agree on Daryl he as a character changed alot in the last two episodes and Shane needed to go. He is not my favourite or anything he is just starting to grow on me

    Well, obviously. :P But the point was that a lot of the fans were upset about how long the group was at the farm so long, and it seems the writers have taken that to heart and will work not to make the prison claustrophobic.

    (Which is the reason why a lot of people didn't like staying at the farm, I think. The majority of stuff was at the farm, and there wasn't enough space to move around to make it feel more open.)

    I was just as shocked, believe me. Although I did realize why they did it pretty fast.

    Daryl has taken a back sit, whilst maintaining his bad-assary. He follows Rick, and doesn't seem interested in taking a leadership position. I think he is the most changed by the zombie apocalypse thus far, look as he sat by the side of the road and watched the zombies, showing no real emotion towards them besides the generic thing you'd expect.

    im really happy with the series its long and its drawn out which is nice comics? well you can fit a whole freakin series on like 12 pages because comics are meant to be fast stories. Tv show gonna be drawn out alot longer and they are so much better when you pick up the dvd sets because then you can just sit down watch the show and not worry about the weekly wait so people complaining better stop or find something else to watch because the walking dead is a Drama and Drama is normally a genre that is long and drawn out so yeah welcome to the world of in depth storytelling. Shane dien yep i knew it was comming since i read the comics i knew eventually he would go.
