Just watched Zombies and the main reason I'm sticking with it is that I've already invested so much time in it. Kind of like a crappy relationship that you know you need to break off but at least you are getting regular sex so you don't want to leave before you have something lined up.

They were on top of the Winni and with binoculars weren't able to see a herd coming until they were right upon them? And why the heck when they drove up on the blocked road did they not leave themselves enough room to turn around in case something happened? And with all the abandoned cars, they can't find a sweet ass Gulfstream or country music's stars tour bus?

Who told the girl to get out from under the car? How was the mom not in hysterics and not running after her? One thing the wif noticed were how huge he cops earlobes were. He must have gotten run over by a car.

Why wouldn't the cop want that blonde to join him? Isn't he going to need some hange at some point?

I'm still confused as to why they don't run into more people. I'm still going to stick with the show but I don't get some of the writing. How long can zombies survive without consuming human flesh? They die at some point don't they?

This is a great fucking point, that cop dude even picked out a car by random for his new gettaway ride. Yet they are still driving a RV from the 70s that conveniently breaks down every 3rd episode. Why you ask? More lazy ass writing.

I was just joking about quitting The Walking Dead. It's really not that bad. The writing isn't as lazy as say, Star Wars. I think you could nitpick a lot of shows. The only show I've ever quit midway through was Fringe. Not because of the lazy writing, but because it became repetitive. Though I heard it got better.

I'm wondering why a group of 8 or so people have to have 5 vehicles, none of which have a 4 cylinder engine. It's not like they can all fill up at the corner 7-11. What's in abandoned cars is all that's left.

I'm sure they'd love a better RV, but they got what they got. They've already established that the cities are unsafe, so a shopping trip would be a bad idea. Most of the other cars on the road probably idled themselves to death. Anything awesome and working could've been taken by a previous scavenger.

If it were me I would have found a hand pump and a big ass wrench to open the underground tanks at gas stations. Virtually unlimited gas at that point.

At the end of the 1st season they drove away from the CDC in five vehicles. I must have missed the Great Consolidation of the start of the 2nd season. I noticed where Darryl got the bike but didn't realize they dropped 3 other vehicles (a jeep, a van and a pickup). Now they're just down to the RV, pickup and the motorcycle.

I watched it after the game. Only time I was slapped into reality was when they swung the door wide open after getting the equipment from the school. Most people would open the door just a hair first to get an idea of what's going on outside.

Also, I'm reading the comic series now. The tv series has taken a few liberties with the original character story lines.

I watched last night after the game. Grimes was driving me crazy. Also, road flares was the best distraction they could come up with? and just blindly opening the trailer door, really?

The way they left the trailer was really dumb. Also, the mom's reaction to the doctor being a vet was ridiculous. I'd be happy running into someone with a little EMT experience after the world's gone to shit.

I also wanna know how the blonde chick stumbles away from the group for 10 seconds, gets attacked, and suddenly everyone's 100 yards away.

I'm up to issue 11. So far it's really good. I especially like how they handled Shane and was kinda hoping they would have treated him the same way in the series.

I'm reading the books on my TouchPad, but they're also available on YouTube if anyone is interested.

I like how they handled Shane as well, but I've heard that Robert Kirkman regrets resolving that arc too quickly. We may still see it on the show, but it could take a while.
