Wow this season has sucked so far, the only thing good are the trailers for the next week, and they just keep stringing us along... I think I may just go by the comics and skip the rest of the season.

I have to agree. The whole "we have to find the kid" thing got old pretty quick. Is it just me or is the patriarch of the farm family a horriific actor or what? They need to move on quickly or they are going to lose me.

I just wish someone would throw that stupid blonde chick into a pile of walkers...she has really gotten annoying.

Heh, agreed. He should be doing AARP commercials. Even if the show is moving slowly, I did thoroughly enjoy the "floater" scene.

I enjoy the show too, and as for some of the comments here:
1. I don't believe Zombies really decompose, at least once they are Zombies. The decomposed zombies are ones that where killed human, infected but not changed yet, then their bodies start to decompose before they are animated.
2. While Zombies don't decomposed, they don't heal either so any damage inflicted will be forever.
3. A Hummer would be a pretty poor choice IMHO, the roof turret isn't really secure, and Zombies can break glass, -a typical Hummer isn't armored at all.
4. The military would hold their own, maybe, much of the Infantry tactics and skills are based upon removing units from action, not zombies, weapons like smart bombs are pretty much worthless if considered on a scale of what resources you use to number of zombies killed. Given it takes head shot to stop the enemy, I could see some soldiers utilizing their entire 300 round load out and stopping only 10% of the enemy. Sucess would depend on effective retraining and excellent leadership. Ie some units would survive, but not all.

Yea the fact that all the military (or at least that around Atlanta) is wiped out is not believable. I have to admit I did not see the mid-season grand finale coming. I wont ruin it for anyone that hasnt seen it yet, but suffice it to say they dont have any reason to stay at the farm (ie really inexpensive set) anymore.

when we were watching some of the filming this past summer, it at least looked like a lot of action, it was Rick running through a 3 lane road while looking hurt, with a ton of zombies chasing him.. of course they shot the same scene about 20 times so maybe it was just a little action..
I am hoping they will use the mid season break to fire the writers and go back to last season's writers, but I am doubtful that will happen, this season is like they hired a bunch of writers that normally write for lifetime movies...

2nd half of the season has been a little better than the first.. the last 10 minutes of last night was pretty good (wont give it away if you havent seen it yet)
But so now, once you die, you automatically become a zombie even if your not bitten? I hope they xplain that willis!

I just don't get this show...too many logistical problems for me.

I'm guessing "Walking Dead" meets "Outbreak"...zombie-ism was caused by virus that was passed by bites becomes airborne.
I hate to say it, but I'm not terribly disappointed about the whole Dale thing. He's annoying.

I read some of the comics and the next volume (this season) is pretty gruesome , if they hold true to the comics lots of the main cast get killed or maimed pretty bad...
I don't know how much they will water down for tv though......

Finally watched the season finale. Several issues.
1) No one would be able to pull off the head shots that a computer geek (Glen) and buff woman (blondy) did while riding shotgun in a moving, bouncing vehicle. They should at least have stopped to make it believable.
2) Noone reacts in a reasonable manner to anything. When dude told his wife he killed his "best" friend IN SELF DEFENSE she reacted like he was a walker. There are actually many instances of this but I'll just leave it at this one.
3) That boy pulled off a head shot past his dad at about 40 feet on a moving target. COME ON!!!
At this point I'm pretty sure I could write a better story line, or at least choreograph the scenes better, than they are making.

That whole series is full of logistical issues...hence I could never watch it....mr snick would ask me to leave the room so he could watch in peace.
The plot is fine. It's the execution I'm disappointed in. Also, I failed to point out that they were very eager to jump in a vehicle and drive 50' down the driveway any ole time they want to even though they are supposed to have limited gas. Those are the little things that could make it better for logical minds like ours to follow.

There should be close to unlimited gas, if you have a pump to move it. Zombies don't drive, leaving plenty of gas in the tanks of stations.
Now, with that cheap azz akkie-hol fuel, it might have gone bad by now..

Hopefully they will be showing this on AFN, but I won't hold my breath. Will probably just have to wait until I get home and watch it on In-Demand.
