[Series] The Walking Dead

[Amerikaner]

I think the show is great, last episode was "slow", yes. I do not see a problem with this, and a good show doesn't need action in every episode, nor does this one need zombie killing every episode either to make it a good show.

I agree you don't need action nonstop but if you're going to focus on drama, lots of talking, and character relationships then you need to cast the appropriate good actors and write interesting dialogue. This show just fails pretty hard on that front.

Fed's friend is correct. That racist character wasn't in the comic book. It just seems like the cheapest way to try and add some social commentary. Let's take a cliche'd racist rant and direct it at a guy named "T-Dog" who then also gets beat up and acts like a saint.

Then talking about dildos, Maytags, and do-it-all coffee machines. I get the point, they miss consumerism, but the delivery is corny, awkward, and obvious.

I'm still not at the point where I'm going to stop watching but its not as good as I had hoped.

A thought occurs, we are three episodes in and we haven't seen a single person get bitten, mauled or killed by a zombie :IS2:

The chinese guy is still annoying and the main character is a pussy.

 

[Merin Redplate]

lol the Oriental guy is both annoying and a pussy.

 

[REZ]

Oriental!? ..what is he to you, a bowl of soup? <_<



..Rick still has a grenade. What the hell happened to the grenade!?

Calling him oriental is better than assuming he's chinese.

You could simply call him asian.
(and I assume that he's an american.)

 

[REZ]

I believe 'Asian' is the term you're looking for.. he's not a carpet ffs.


but I digress.. that grenade better go off before the end of the series or I'm going to be very disappointed.

 

[Merin Redplate]

Asian and oriental are synonymous, and are interchangable within the same contexts.

 

[REZ]

Ask an asian person how they feel about being called oriental and you'll see how synonymous they are.


Let's talk about the show now. Grenade, where is it?

 

[DraKon2k]

The only actor I really like is the one who's doing the main characters wife, he reminds me of Joe from Mafia II and well, he's screwing the pussy main characters wife.

Grenade; between Rick's *** cheeks.

Now ask me how I feel about being called white?
Caucasian seems more suitable.
Why? Because I'm not white

 

[Lt_Kettch]

Let's call him Glenn ...

 

[REZ]

heheh *sigh*

Okay guy, you win. Keep calling people of asian descent.. 'orientals'. hahah so sad

 

[Merin Redplate]

I intend to, and you keep calling them Asians.

 

[Fedorov]

The only character I like is the white douche who cut his own hand (even if that part don't make much sense). The actor seems pretty good, he just steals the show. The rest of the characters are average/boring/nothing special.

 

[DraKon2k]

I just can't see this series going anywhere since the main character is such a loser.

Spoiler!

I've been told that in the comic, the main character loses his hand, and turns very brutal and kinda psychotic.

My theory is that here, the producers decided to keep your average good guy, and made the white racist do the brutality for him, splitting the main character in two different characters

Edit: Spoiler tagged for Kaner's request.

So, the main character always has to be top notch to make the series good?

I don't know about you I find it hard to identify myself with a weakling who he seems to be who has his best friend ****ing his wife.
