Pick6 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Love this show, but its turning into how I used to feel about Survivor back in the day...almost as much about rooting for someone to get "voted off" as it is rooting for someone to win challenges and such...I want the useless mother to just die. Just go away, whether they find the girl or not. Whereas in this last episode, when the blond chick and Daryl were out in the woods alone, I started actually liking her...I can see her being the one ****ing woman on this show that learns how to defend herself and act like a leader, rather than useless dead weight. This is her rough period, but I see her coming through and being kind of a bad ass, with that tortured past. On that note: they've got all this down time (before the events of this season) while they're traveling, why the hell aren't the women and less skilled men getting constant self-defense lessons, lessons on how to shoot (idk how to do this without wasting ammo, but still), how to handle yourself in a 1-on-1 close encounter with a zombie, and quietly stab it in the brain, etc. I mean, you're living in a world overtaken by these mother****ers, and you're gonna fall on the ground screaming when one gets close? Come on. Especially the blond chick who wanted to die anyways. Part of the reason why I think she'd eventually make a great fearless leader-type is because she doesn't give a **** if she dies...and yet the episode where she's contemplating shooting herself in the head, she ****s her pants and starts having a mental breakdown while being attacked by a zombie? Idk, maybe they wanted to show that she DID want to live, she just didn't know it till then. I'm not saying I want a group full of elite zombie-hunters where they're all badasses, but come on. They should all be more competent than they are, outside of Sherrif and Shane and Daryl. I kind of disagree with you last paragraph. Think about it. These are normal people in a world that has gone to ****. They are not going to just step out of their shell shock and become skilled with melee weapons. Sorry not going to happen. At least last night started the talk about weapons trainiing. This is still very early in the zombie era world. The thing you always have to remember in this show is that the characters are the most important and the zombies are just a set piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtown Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 If anyone is interested in reading the comics, I see that the opcinhumor.com site is back up. The site was taken down in July. Copyright issues? Its back now though and all issues except for the last three are on there. The comic is a much better story than the TV show...but by reading the comic you will spoil most of what you are watching the show for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 well...now I knew something was going to up with the head of that house...like hiding that he's some cult type leader with a dark side...but i didn't figure it would involve the rhythmically challenged group...

skinsfan07 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 No wonder he's been so eager to get the "guests" away. Now Glen will tell everyone their secret next episode. Speaking of whihc, how lucky is Glen? Only **** during the zombie apocalypse getting laid. Must be nice. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tris Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'll Pm ya... watching Hell on Wheels now Only took two episodes for HoW to surpass this show. A bit sad. So much promise flushed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins_Fan82 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Okay...im getting kinda bored. Im all for character development and all, but things have slowed WAY down. First season of this show was a non-stop adrenaline rush. All out chaos. And now, for the third episode in a row, they're walking the woods looking for the girl. Yawn. Can anybody who has read the comics tell Me if things pick up anytime soon without spoiling anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsHokieFan Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Only took two episodes for HoW to surpass this show. A bit sad. So much promise flushed away. Hell on wheels is excellent. My only concerns is there seem to be a few too many storylines thus far. But so far I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
