And if you think the show is great for its plot, "believable" or "likeable" characters, then you are an utter moron.
If you wish to come in and defend this atrocity to zombie media, prepare for me to rip apart the show with specifics. And yes, I am a huge zombie fan and wanted to love this show |

at 11:57 AM, Friday November 18, 2011 EST Kudos on the makeup, I agree. Haven't read the comics, but there's SO many plot holes and inconsistencies in the show it boggles my mind how "popular" it is.
So many idiots on my facebook friends list worship the show and won't accept any criticism of it. And then on the radio or in blog posts I hear about people who love it and only say good things, just sickens me that everyone jumps on the kudo bandwagon for such an awful show. The only good that can come of it will be other networks jumping on the zombie bandwagon and maybe producing something good |

at 1:24 PM, Friday November 18, 2011 EST It's beautifully shot, great costume/looks, and has zombies.
If you're looking for more than that then you've got your sights set a little too high IMO. I enjoy watching it. |

at 2:34 PM, Friday November 18, 2011 EST There's more to entertainment than a pretty face though.
Sure, it's got a great "look", but that's about it. The zombie hordes insta-spawn on top of the survivors in every episode. They put the old guy, who likely has the worst vision, on top of the RV to scout, then they don't notice the zombie horde until it's 50 ft away??? Shane and Otis are fleeing the school and are facing a chain link fence that they then put their backs against to rest. two seconds later, SURPRISE BUTTSEX! from a massive zombie horde that somehow they never saw through the fence??? Then they flip-flop about the zombies being able to smell humans and not smell humans. They're worried about being scratched or bitten, but Shane runs around punching zombies in the mouth in most episodes. You'd think you'd keep your bare knuckles as far as possible from zombie teeth, no? the zombies just hang around inside the barn at the farm walking in circles until they notice the asian kid sneak in, then they spring into action trying to break the door to get out. But for days they just sat there, despite all the noise of the humans outside on the farm, shooting, talking, yelling, starting up generators, etc. I guess the farmhands rounded them all up and stuck them in there and somehow once the humans closed the doors and were out of sight the zombies just calmed down until the asian kid climbed in? It's one of the most poorly written shows on the planet, and it's making bank, so sickening what passes for "quality entertainment" these days. There's a ton more I could hit you with, but I think that's enough for now, I don't have the days it would take to tear this show apart further with my empirical evidence |
