The way this series has been shot is far to clean, there is not enough ‘gritty-ness’ which makes the series seem un-realistic in my opinion. The actors, and their pathetic attempts at acting, are so over the top, this lend’s their performances to be, for the most part, pretentious and melodramatic. I think the casting choice is okay, but is it just me or do you feel that the main character was a terrible choice for a lead??

The biggest thing that I hate about this series is that they start building these relationship between characters which are completely artificial. The tv show quickly falls into the cliche category of ‘what will work best for the tv audience’.

I think that the camera work should have been more dirty and un-clean. resembling movies like saving private ryan, hurt locker and the wrestler. Hand-held could have been used to maximise the realism of the situation.
I think that the writing for the series is terrible, less is more guys!!

Let me know your thoughts.

For all the hardcore fans who expect the TV series to be the same with the comic book, SHUT THE FUCK UP. It’s two different stuff, call it an adaptation. Stop complaining, back to your comics if you want.

Most women and men know where their young children are at any given time, so what the heck is wrong with these people?!

The farm should have been burned down mid-season, not at the end. What stupid people would not secure the perimeter of where you live under such circumstances?! The writers SUCK! They create awful dialog. These stupid people spent season 2 having long discussions over nonsense when they should have been watching their children and planning a survival strategy. Living in tents on the farm?! I mean really people — REALLY!!!!

What would have happened if I wrote season 2:

1) Rick would call Lori a dumb b1tch for not knowing where her son was.
2) Rick would have called Carol a dumb b1tch for knowing where her daughter was.
3) Rick would have the job of watching his own son — Carl.
4) Shane would be doing his own laundry and cooking.
5) The perimeter of the farm would have secured as best possible.
6) No sex in drug stores without checking for zombies first.
7) Carol would have been sent out to find her own daughter instead of others risking their lives. “You lost her, you find her!”
Carl would have been told the facts of zombie life so as not to get himself or others killed. “If you see a zombie son, run and tell or shoot the SOB in the head.
9) Instead of a pregnancy test, go into town and get BODY GEAR so a bite won’t penetrate your arms, legs, etc.
10) Lori gets a lecture about birth control. (They talked enough about other boring stuff.)
11) Dale would have been eaten right in the middle of one his diatribes lecturing Lori on how she should thing and feel.
12) Carl would have whacked on the butt at least once.
13) Andrea and Shane would have hooked up, and that’s when Shane dies, when a zombie breaks open the tent they are in and bites Shane. But not before Shane beats the crap out of the old guy for harboring zombies in the barn.
14) Rick would have strategically plan escape scenarios, weapons inventory and training, and other important stuff as Carl showed the PowerPoint presentation of the plans.

The list of interesting things that could have occurred are endless, but instead got “Days of our Dumb Stupid Zombie Lives.”

Here are a few issues that I have with almost all Zombie movies that were distractingly pronounced in this show.

1- Why are people so frightened about being infected through a bite yet have no problem with copious amounts of blood spraying all over them when they shoot or bash a zombie’s head open? (btw- props to 28 days latter for actually being consistent with infection, that was awesome and made it extremely scary)

2-Why wouldn’t every man woman and child have some sort of a blunt instrument with them at all times… ALL Times!!!? Its crazy that people just walk around depending on the 3 guys with guns and then scramble for something to fend the zombies off with at the last minute.

3-Why on earth wouldn’t everyone be wearing leather jackets, work gloves, safety glasses, and dust masks? About halfway through any movie and very early on in a series the characters figure out that if they get bit they are basically on borrowed time with their colleagues. Why do they continue to run around in t-shirts and wifebeaters?

4-There needs to be more nervous breakdowns from the ordeal in general. For every zombie movie there is usually about a 1:1 ratio of characters falling in love and someone seriously having a nervous breakdown. In all honesty there’s no love at this point. Only terror. More people should be freaking out and no one should be falling in love. And the people who are freaking out should be freaking out because of the situation as a whole and not merely because the rest of the group wants to finish off their zombiefied wife or child.

Maybe with new writers it will get better. I’ll give it another shot. Maybe

Are you looking forward to the new season, seeing as how almost all the writers were fired?
