So, since I updated the Dexter thread, I might as well update the thread for the other show I watch. I don't have much time for TV so I only follow a couple of series, this year it is Dexter and The Walking Dead (and I have ordered DVD's for Breaking Bad, since it is getting such good press on JF).
Any thoughts on the season so far?
I like where it is headed to a point. For me a sticking point is that, if the walking dead are just what we have been told, which is truly dead people, then really this show only has about a 6-month to a year true timeline. After that the bodies would be so decomposed they couldn't do any damage. They couldn't walk around, definitely couldnt bite hard enough to tear skin (try doing that, it ain't easy). They would be heaps of goo with bones and the occasionaly waggling jaw and rolling weepy eye.
Anyway, because of that thought, much of their trials seems fabricated to increase the drama. I did like the twist at the end of the last epsiode however, with the discovery in the barn. Wtf? No wonder the old man wanted them to move along. How psycho is this guy gonna turn out to be anyway?
I thought that Daryl's experience was crazy. He is a tough ********* He is one of my favorite charaters so I hope they don't kill him off.
So I have liked the season so far. The timeline for each episode is right to help drag that 6-month to a year timeframe out for a few seasons. I am glad they have been able to keep the melodrama to a minimum, as this could easily devolve into "Days of Our Lives" + Zombies.
So, predictions? Will they find the girl? Will Merle turn up again for real and not just in hallucination form? Is it Shane's or Rick's baby?
(my thoughts: Yes they will find the girl. No Merle will not turn up again, but becomes for Daryl what Harry is for Dexter. I think it is Shane's baby.)
