First half of the premier was pretty good, second half just seemed to drag though. Was pretty boring over all. At least they left us with something good to think about for the next episode.

Anyone else really hoping they finally flesh out what happened to some other lost characters from season 1? I wanna know whats up with the black guy and his son. I’d also like to know whats up with the hillbilly who chopped his own hand off and stole their truck. Seemed like they were gonna build up to a confrontation with him again but it never happened.

I read an interview with the guy who plays Daryl Dixon, and he said Merle Dixon is back in season 2.

They do seem to be drifting away from the Grafic Novels. The wife is less of a Bitch and the deputy is less insane and selfish. The reason they write some characters speaches is to give insight into them. So later Down The line you become invested in what happens to them. In the books they have big speach bubbles and draw out scenes for pages can’t do that on tv.

And that last half hour was all about making money.

Funny, I was watching with my mom last night. (Hotel room, she was reading and sort of listening.)

During the first 30 minutes, she said “Don’t they show any commercials on this station?”

Yeah I think they did that on purpose. Maybe that is why the end of the episode seemed to drag on.

I thought this was standard practice, even if its a 30min show. The opening is always the biggest, because if it isn’t big enough then people are more likely to leave as soon as they see the commercial.

DVR FTMFW!!!

I can’t watch tv shows live. The commercials ruin it for me… Just DVR em and watch them at your leisure the next day.

From the Talking Dead poll: How long would you search for someone else’s missing child?

A.) One Day

B.) One Week

C.) Until he/she was found

D.) Not At All

The results are little more humane with the most votes (34%) going with C. But, when the show initially aired and the poll was posted on the website, 99.9% of respondents chose D. I thought that was a little extreme.

I think that D is extreme also.

Given the situation, I would say one day. Two days at the most.

If the mother wants to keep searching, leave her behind.

agreed. Of course, it depends on how that one day goes. If more herds are coming, might have to bail sooner

I would say a 24 hour period of searching. Realistically how likely is she to survive after that? At some point you have to take emotion out of it and think about the group as a whole.

I feel like they try to make every scene soooo dramatic, imo they should pick there spots better throughout the season. You can only have so many dramatic scenes before they start to get watered down.

Crazy the lead actor has a really strong english accent in real life. He hides it well while acting.

I would look as long as the scene is safe for me and my family. If we have the weapons and food to stay I’d be down for a few days.

I would rather see a sequel in theaters. If it’s on a major network it’s going to suck.

It was originally written as a tv show, not a movie. That is what the “zombie kill of the week” was in the movie for…it was meant to be a weekly feature on the show. they just left it in.

Re-read the article and it says Fox has it. I HOPE they do the right thing and put it on FX. Network TV can’t do zombies justice. On FX it could be awesome though.
