Survival and Diary on AMC (woo hoo!)

[babomb]

TWD is supposed to have all the drama, that's how the source material was and it's why it was chosen to be made into a series. From what Kirkman says it isn't really about zombies as much as it's about characters surviving in that world. Which is why there's such an effort made to not call them zombies at all. It seems like there's alot of people around here that are turning against TWD simply because it's gotten so popular.

I'm not against it. Sure sometimes the human characters get... tiring after a while, but it's still a great show with fantastic zeds. And as for popularity... it doesn't figure for me. If I like something, I like it, no matter how popular OR unpopular it may be. Case in point, Friendship is Magic (quite popular, but fuck it) and Polysics (most folks go, 'who?'). The graphic novels ARE a smidge better though, IMO.

I am ashamed to admit my first Blue Ray ever was Survival of the dead, but in the end it is still something I watch from time to time. Do I love it no? Do I like it? Not really, but hey.. .zombies and George are like sex even when they are bad there is still a pay off at the end.

and Polysics (most folks go, 'who?'). . Polysics are great man. . .who couldn't love a modern Japanese Devo?

Bland of the Dead, Survival of the Schmed and Diarrhea of the Dead. C'mon George, I'm sure that you could do better if you really wanted to. Please, by all means want to.

It's already lots better than everything else. Take a look at the crap flung from inside the TV nowadays: http://blogs.redeyechicago.com/off-t...on_television/ It doesn't even get better like most TV shows: I like watching zombie films too, but the plot contrivances and cliched dialogue found in the Walking Dead makes watching this show an exercise in channel surfing. I thought the writers might have worked to clear these problems up in season 2, but having just caught the first episode of season 2, I can say the problems have only gotten worse.

It's already lots better than everything else. Take a look at the crap flung from inside the TV nowadays: It doesn't even get better like most TV shows: I guess my attitude regarding GAR's last three movies has more to do with me getting all pumped up to see them initially, then being let down; more to do with my personal disappointment rather than (inhales) really really really really really really really really really really really really poor attempts to recreate the koolness of GAR's original three. (oh crap... Aces is sharpening his axe! I better run for cover!)

Save it for your therapist, fanficker

There's no doubt that the last 3 paled in comparison to the 1st 3.

(oh crap... Aces is sharpening his axe! I better run for cover!) Sorry, Ragnarr, that was not the impression I meant to give. It was more of a commentary on people having an "axe to grind."

Sorry, Ragnarr, that was not the impression I meant to give. It was more of a commentary on people having an "axe to grind." All in good fun of course brother; I knew you weren't gonna give me the axe. On one of the medieval forums I often visit, it's common for folks there to post comments followed by "ducks for cover" or "runs for cover".

Take a look at the crap flung from inside the TV nowadays: http://blogs.redeyechicago.com/off-t...on_television/ It doesn't even get better like most TV shows: But you are an Italian horror fan. . .how can you sift through all that drek, bile and crap and hate something that at least makes an attempt to make sense like the Walking dead?

[triste realtà]

But...but you said you liked Grapes of Death. Same thing. I am posting links that explain why that horrible show sucks. Here is another one to all the bad reviews on IMDB from people who actually want to like it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1520211/reviews?filter=hate It is bottom of the barrel dummy love this show gets.
