The Walking Dead

Ok so finished watching final episode. Dang it was sad....I am not very emotional but that scene when Maggie turns in split second from smiling and hoping to see her sister to falling on her knees crying and seeing Darryl carrying Beth's body is heartbreaking.
We need a poll who is whos favorite character/actor on the show. I hated Andrea - such a stupid dumb blonde... not sure if she was ment to be shown that way or Laurie Holden is just plain terrible actress. Darryl is by far my favorite character on the show. His brother was good as well :)
I think that Daryl and Merle were the best characters in the series through the first three seasons -- certainly as a pair. They fed off one another and made each other much stronger characters than either could be alone. But after Merle finally ate it, Daryl has become a lot less interesting to me. He's now too serene and perfect, like some Walking Dead Jesus.

Season four was all about Carol to me. She had a really great arc: secretly teaching all the kids to kill, executing the sick, being discovered and unapologetic, and then bearing witness to Lizzie's insanity. And of course, her going all Rambo in the season five premiere was great fun. She's my favorite character at the moment.

I also really liked Hershel, partly because I just really like Scott Wilson (the actor). Wilson played my favorite supporting character in CSI -- Sam Braun. Admittedly, toward the end he was becoming overly angelic/fount-of-infallible-wisdom-ish, which is why he had to die (just as Dale did) and leave the group again without any firm moral compass. Because, y'know... it's boring if you have that.
 
Yeah, Dale was another character I did not like - just so annoying. Hershel was good. Agree on Carol.
 
Change out Shane and Merle for Tyrese (huge disappointment) and Father Gabriel. Then bring back Andrea and make her the comic versiona nd Carl the comic version. Ditch Judith and Eugene.

That is a much more hard nose and aggressive group and would be more interesting to me.
 
BTW, I'm hating these split seasons. Sucks bad, imho. Worse trend in television at the moment.

I, respectfully, disagree with you.

I very much prefer two mini-seasons a year to one season that lasts quarterly. I would prefer two full seasons a year(Get your **** together, A&E), but I would prefer the compromise be a break in the season for a few weeks than 9 months without every year.
 
What was the deal with the preacher who somehow survived in the church without killing zombies? How would he make it so long without being killed or affected?

Boarded up the place, zombie outbreak started while there was a food drive for a local charity. He survived in the church on those supplies.

Or something?

I'd be more in line with this if they made each half season a little longer. Add maybe 2 episodes each half season. That way it is 10 episodes and a break and then another 10 episodes.

With the four week or so delay, it seems like it would give them enough time to accommodate that.

Dude CSI was horrible TV. CSI and House are right up there atop the list of shows that should have never taken off. Ridiculous

To each his own. I enjoyed it, although it really should have ended when William Petersen left.

And what was so bad about House? The first three seasons were great fun.
 
Shows like CSI, Law & Order, etc. I just can't get into them. They dumb down the subject matter and over explain it to the audience through the guise of one expert talking to another about that issue. It's just too much. It doesn't pass the eye roll test for me.

But I like plenty of equally lame ****, so I'm not judging.
