What did you guys think of this season? I'm about ready to punch Lori and Carl in the face but maybe that's just me.

[Druss99]

I enjoyed it but Lori needs to die. She has absolutely no redeeming qualities and is as much a threat to the group as Shane was. Atleast Shane was nuts, Lori is just a b*tch. Carl is fairly pointless too and needs to be locked up somewhere until he learns an ounce of sense.

I'm looking forward to season 3, just a pity its so far off.

[Naughty Bear]

The old woman who lost Sophia. She is just a **** stirrer, it's obviously she is close to snapping right after Shane. Kill her before she turns into a threat. She already tried to turn Daryl away at the end of the last episode.

Carl also needs to be shot. Littler **** just won't listen and has to keep getting involved. Rick should of shot that kid from the other group or left him to get eaten.

So for now, Carl and the old woman are the biggest threat, or growing threats anyway. Carl already got one person killed.

[gamer_girl]

I think now that Dale is gone, things are just going to keep getting crazier and crazier. Though with the announcement of Michonne, next season will be awesome.

Shame that Shane is dead. But I am glad this old fool Dale is out, couldn't stand his constant whining.

Lori combines the worst qualities of both Carl and um...whatever her name is, is it Sheila?. Anyway, she sh*t stirred with Shane by saying she didn't know who the babies dad was and thanked him for everything he did without actually saying it can never happen again, she encouraged Rick to kill Shane too if I remember right. She set that whole situation up and then took offence when it played out. What was she mad at Rick for? For killing him? That was more her fault than Rick's. Because Carl shot him? That was more her fault than Rick's, she should have been watching him.

She also doesn't listen just like Carl and keeps getting involved with stuff that has nothing to do with her. Like when she stole Maggie's car and crashed it while going to get Rick, Hershel and Glen. What was she going to do? Order them to come home right now because dinner is ready?

What's with all the Dale hate? He's the only one who managed to keep a level head after the zombies came.

[Megaton_Hope]

Shane's been a threat to the group for a while, it's good that Rick's stepping up to the plate.

Though the comics did one better on that.

I'm hoping Andrea dies, she's choking the narrative. And she hasn't even developed useful skills.

He was over-the-top good(still he was right) and Shane was over-the-top evil. 

Now that they are both gone we can get some great stuff with Rick if they want to be like the comic.

[Naughty Bear]

Yeah, Dale annoyed me on deciding the fate of that kid. Should of shot him straight away. In a situation like the Walking Dead, you can not trust anybody. Don't take risks.

Good point Druss. Lori, Carl and that old woman are currently the growing threat. Especially Carl. Put that bastard child on a leash, keeps sticking his nose when he is not wanted. I feel like uppercutting the squirt.

Unsure where i stand with Andrea, she offers nothing helpful to the group, along with that unstable mind of hers. Andrea is just another mouth to feed and look after. She thinks she can look after herself but she can't. Especially when confronted by a zombie she panics too quickly and goes straight to tears. She will have to be removed.

[Some Geth]

Again if they go the way of the comic, Carl should get better as a character.

5 Reasons Walking Dead Has to Get Better

That about says it for me.

I totally neglected this after the first season, just didn't feel like it was going to get any better and the season 1 finale didn't offer much incentive to keep watching. But now I'm in a mood for zombie stuff all of a sudden, so is the second season worth picking up or are zombie movies still a better medium for this sort of thing?

I'd say the Walking Dead is mainly about surviving, the interactions with characters and what life would be like. Not a zombie kill fest like most zombie movies.

But it is good and i recommend it.

Season 2 mostly sucks but it starts to pick up at the end.

Season 2 is...special.

I think, although I cannot be certain of this, that they were being put under pressure by Christian groups and network heads to tone down their gratuitous violence and bring in some "positive messages," so suddenly everybody starts meditating on the role Jesus plays in their lives, and episodes pass with nary a zombie to be seen.

However, it could also be seen as a stupidly long build-up to the big reveal on Hershel's farm. (I can see why they might pump up the Jesus in anticipation of that.)

I read something about them changing writers and the last few episodes, where it began to pick up, were written by the new head writer. So hopefully that means the quality will remain consistant into season 3.

With the two main protagonists being small town southern sherrif's I was afraid of this happening in the first season. Can't say I'm too happy that they relied on this, since that trope gets old real fast. I suppose I'll give it a try.

[Megaton_Hope]

The comics really don't have that kind of tone, though. It's more about the slow decay of Rick's altruistic (and kind of self-centered) moral system than anything else.

I wonder how much the producer scuttling staff writers and relying on freelancers around the time the season started had to do with it. There's definitely a shift in pacing.

[TEWR]

Carl's an idiot.

I approve of the Ricktatorship.

That's actually why he needed to die. His morality was dragging the group down, but through his death it will help everyone see that they can't let themselves change into the same monsters they're fighting -- both the zombies and the living bastards out there.

It's complex, I think. Dale wanted any humans they came across to be kept alive simply because they're humans, when in this world that's not really an option. You can't blindly trust every human in a world where society has gone to hell in a handbasket and everyone is out for themselves.

Daryl said it best: The group is broken. You had two people vying for the position of leader of the group -- Shane and Rick -- and everyone else was being dragged down by the constant feuding.

Shane's death was definitely a boon to restoring order, and Dale's death -- strengthened by his repeating of Daryl's comment to Daryl himself -- will hopefully make them realize that they can't let the world completely change them.

Certainly, they can't be as naive as Dale was, but they shouldn't become monsters either.

That's my take anyway. Don't know how correct it is, but it makes sense to me.

There are only two people capable of leading the group effectively IMO -- Rick and Daryl.

They fired the main producer guy in the middle of shooting and there was also pressure to get the cost down. They were told to do more indoors shooting. All those action sequences cost big bucks. So, what we got was The Waltons with a lot of "sharing" instead of a zombie action show.

I just wanted gratuitous violence against zombies. Season 1 did a good attempt in a lot of places, and even made a few feel dramatic, like that woman who was only a torso dragging itself across the grass. I actually think that was the first zombie Rick killed if I'm not mistaken.

[Megaton_Hope]

Well, it's not just action sequences. Weather and lighting aren't as constant outdoors, no matter what kind of action is being shot. Shifting all the major events into Hershel's farmhouse was not a pleasing decision, though. Somebody's just not thinking zombies - a farmhouse is only a proper setting if it's being besieged by hundreds of flesh-eating ghouls.
