ChiefsPlanet - Movies and TV The Walking Dead ***With Comic Spoilers***

Because this show's strength isn't character development. If it was, I would give a shit about Coral (Andrew Lincoln can't pronounce Carl, apparently).

He's an English dude doing a fairly respectable Southern accent... give him a break.

And actually, the show has done a lot of character development. A lot of these slower episodes are character building and make you care about the character. Have you watched the show before?

It's a pretty common criticism of the show that the characters are thinly written.

Dude, did you not watch the last few episodes? They were all about development for chrissakes. Three episodes developing the govenor, an entire episode about Carl and Michonne? Where have you been?

Paying more attention to the critics than the actual show, apparently.

Not to drop any spoilers here but the forward by Kirkman in the first comic talks about how he hopes this series doesn’t come across as horror because it’s intended as a story of survival. How ordinary people would deal with extraordinary circumstances.
I think the TV show does a good job of honoring that intent.

How? It is very obvious by watching the show that it is not about zombies eating people. It is about how people struggle to survive in a situation that the majority are not capable of surviving.

question.....
Michones original pet walkers....the two black guys.
I THINK the show has portrayed their identities differently than the books.....
actually....let me be clear.....I was somewhat distracted during the last episode so I should re-watch it...the show hinted at their identities but didn't confirm...right?

Spoiler!
