Television The Walking Dead

carl is an incredibly annoying cunt, i agree. when i watch him 'act' i suddenly reconsider my stance on pedophilia.
 
Why is the old black guy always killed right after the new one is introduced? We meet Oscar, T-Dog dies. We meet Tyrese, Oscar dies.

And Rick's losing it.
 
Man I totally agree, rick is loosing it. Carl is border lined also, IMO..

@x, carl is super fucking annoying.

Why the Carl hate? He is growing up in what is left of his childhood in a zombie world. Thought his father was dead and had his dad's best friend help raise him only to be reunited later. Then he has to help raise his baby sister after killing his own mother after she gave birth to her. Not to mention watching his father go in and out of crazy. I think we would all be a little "off" given those circumstances.
 
i've read the comics up to issue #100 or so, and while there are similar trajectories they really don't compare at all. i enjoyed the comics much more than i did the show (the governor was much more hilariously, mustache-twirling evil) but they really aren't that close at all except in outline.
 
When did it become status quo for shows to take mid-season breaks? HBO doesn't pull this shit.
Last season, Breaking Bad, this season.... It's infuriating.

I kind of like Carl this season. Sacrilege, I know. I like that he's gone from remarkably annoying as a "show up at the worst time possible" set piece to a stone faced killer/possible psychopath in the making.
I realize Rick is just generally going off the rails. But, what was it about killing that particular thug that caused him to freeze like that?

I also am shocked at how they handle the Black characters on the show. Last season T-Dog was nearly invisible. In a season that took place almost entirely on a farm that he never left.
I was really happy and kind of relieved when he became much more prominent and was given a voice at the beginning of this season.
NSFW:
Then he gets killed off. In comes Oscar..... The second the group became exposed in open ground at Woodbury, I knew he was gonna die.

In comes the guy from The Wire....
I know Michonne's a strong Black character and I love the show. I just really hope they keep the new guy around and he becomes a prominent member of the group. He and his group seem respectable, decent survivors, at first glance. The groups kind of people. I am hoping his character can wash away what feels like...... I don't even know what to call it. Discrimination, I guess.

The comics are superior in just about every way. Much less "Sappy Melodrama with Zombies", and more "Gritty Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Killfest".

It might be hard to capture the same feel of the comics on film (due to budgetary/creative constraints), but I think the show could have been so much better than it is. The first episode of the TV series was phenomenal, and quite possibly one of my favorite moments in TV history - it was raw, terrifying, and the scene at the end where the black guy (don't remember his name) struggles to shoot his zombified wife almost had me in tears. But it was short-lived and devolved into a bunch of whiny idiots doing stupid things for the sake of advancing the plot (the entire second season was the result of a little girl not knowing how to walk in the correct direction). I know Frank Darabont had a lot to do with the quality of the first episode, but show managed to retain almost none of his initial vision, instead opting for generic, lowest common denominator melodrama...with zombies.
 
The midseason break is no different then regular network shows that break around the holidays. The only difference is that its a cable channel show doing it. If you think for a minute, by breaking up the season, we end up waiting less time for the next season (in theory). I'm jonesing for Justified to come back in January/February which has not been on the air since last spring. Imagine if WD ended in late January 2013 and we had to wait until next October or later for the new season?
 
I agree that Lewis is not a Spoelstra type guy, but he's a lights-out shooter at time. If they can find a way to force him to play defense and rebound, I'd much rather have him in there than Haslem. Until Haslem manages to repair his broken jumper.

Does anyone know where I can find season +/- stats on individual players?

I have to say that seems oddly irrelevant.

I haven't watched a big 4 network show in a looong time, so I had no idea it was a regular practice on there.
I have thought for more than a minute, and I understand the benefit, in theory, to waiting less time. Personally, when I compare it to the experience of a HBO shows unbroken season schedule, I find that these breaks, and the loss of continuity is more annoying than the 8-12 month wait for a new season is. It's a matter of personal preference.
Justified's a good show. I'm looking forward to its return as well.
