So if I watch "The Walking Dead"

[XemaSab]

am I going to think it's the best show ever or am I going to have some serious nightmares?

I'm like 20 minutes into the first show, and the dude is wandering through an increasingly gruesome hospital.

1. You can look forward to skulls and brains being crushed in hatchback doors and under boot stompings.

Not for the faint-hearted.

2. I absolutely love that show!

I was a little disappointed with the second half of the first season, but the rest is just awesome sauce.

3. I'm not sure I trust your opinion on this

4. Duzy n/t

5. I'm thinking he's not entirely objective

Just a hunch.

6. Just wait til he gets to Atlanta.....Tank boy! nt

7. I like the show alot, but.....

watching at 9pm on a Sunday night was too intense for me, the gore and the sometimes intense heartbreaking stories kept me from sleeping, or reappeared in my dreams. We'd record it and watch it later in the week, earlier in the day. I want to know what you think about Lori....there is a topic for discussion.

8. you may like it but...

You're gonna think that this show could have been so much better.

9. it would be better if they took the soap opera bullshit out of it

and killed off rick.

[Incitatus]

13. hehe

I agree. I'm getting real tired of Rick's whiny BS and I hope a zombie chews off his face.

10. You're going to wonder what the hell all the fuss is about, that's what.

I'm quite fond of zombie horror and have works published in the genre, so it's not like I'm averse to the subject matter.

However, the show is plodding and bogged down in trite, tiresome bullshit.

I watched the first episode and was unimpressed. Then I was told to watch three episodes, after which I was still unimpressed. Then I was told to watch another two, and I was bored out of my mind.


If a show with a four-episode debut season can't get its shit together during that season, it's not worth the trouble.

11. Days Gone Bye was a great premiere episode

The show has been very good overall, but it's had it's ups & downs (slow pacing to start season 2, a bit scattered the second half of season 3). At its best, it's been very intense and some great drama.

12. It's pretty popular, so you'll , probably like it

You might want to watch it the next day.to give yourself time to let it fade if you have a history of bring unable to get gross stuff out of your mind.

14. It's a really good show.

Top quality for commercial cable. Not up to HBO or Showtime standards but way above network shows.
