Started watching this finally ~~ got through first two seasons and are at episode 9 in Season 3 as of now (no spoilers!!!).

First - never read the comics, didn't know there were comics so I'm going off only what I see on the show.

My wife and I love it.  Its been addicting to watch it - and in typical netflix/amazon fashion, we've managed to cram through about 30 episodes in the last two weeks.  That is the way to watch shows man, I tell ya.  No commericals and no waiting around for the next week.   Just start another episode.

My thoughts on the show:


1 - its got a good story line, but we get frustrated sometimes when people do dumb shit, but I guess that is why its a TV show.  :roll:

2 - Why didn't they build a Mad-Max car?  Know what I mean?  Something that can just rip through Walkers and plunge through fences and drive off road....the Hyundai they are driving around....what a pussy car they have for the apocalypse!!!

3 - The lack of preparedness is stunning to me sometimes.  WTF?    Why didn't they turn the farm into a fortress???

4 - Whoever directed the extras in the town (I forget its name) - hilarious that no matter what scene is happening, everyone in town is walking around like idiots...Well, I guess we'll go for a walk again for the hundredth time today....

5 - The blonde chick who is in love with the crazy governer guy (Remember, I'm only on episode 8 so I don't know what happens now, so STFU) -- I want to slap that bitch to get some sense into her!

6 - Chick with the Katana is badass - I loved that she had the two gimpy walkers on chains that she dragged around - that was fricken brilliant!

7 - As of S3:8, Carl is turning into a total bad-ass.  That kid had to grow up fast.

8 - The effects and head smashing is pretty good, I don't watch a lot of horror stuff, but some of the ways these walkers go is pretty gruesome.

9 - We love how in one episode, they're so concerned about ammo.  In the next episode, they're fricken Tony Montana, firing bullets like they've got a field ops behind them keeping them stocked up.

10 - Great how their reaction to walkers has changed so much - from immediate fear to practically ignoring them in some cases.  

11 - The walkers are fucking stupid.   Glad they can't open doors or climb.

12 - The twist with Sophia coming out of the barn was epic....honestly didn't see that one coming.

13 - Loved the first part of season 3 then they had their shit together and formed their phalanx formation to take the prison -- that was epic.   And now at this point S3:8, people keep saying "ten people couldn't have taken that prison" --- well they did, and it was fuckin awesome :lol:




Anyway --- I'll be caught up with everyone this Sunday, so I'll probably post up in here with my thoughts each week, I love discussing this sort of thing, as you can see :lol:
