Yeah this is ridiculous. Something good needs to happen soon or I'm going to bail on this show quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are really good. Me too. Homeland is amazing. I'm going to start Breaking Bad soon on Netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much was packed into those episodes, and now it's slower paced and a lot more character building. I am hoping for more stuff to begin happening, but I'm nowhere near giving up on it.

southsider2k5 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I just read that Seth McFarland was supposed to be on one of the Boston flights on 9/11 but missed his plane because of a hangover. How did I never hear that before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause this is just boring at this point. It should start getting better with Daryl (who it seems the writers really like, and someone they will push) realizing that he's pretty well-suited to lead the group and beginning to think that Carl is ineffective. Plus, that barn full of zombies has to lead somewhere very interesting. QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Nov 14, 2011 -> 10:32 AM) I'm still really liking it.

I am hoping for more stuff to begin happening, but I'm nowhere near giving up on it. They're doing a piss-poor job of that. Even I can admit that as a fan of the show. The majority of the characters are shallow cardboard cutouts of characters. Daryl is very easily the best character, and he's even stronger after the last episode. Rick is obviously going to get the most depth as the main character, but he's coming off pretty weak because they're trying to make him perfectly moral and just. It seems like Shane should be a better character, but I think it's the actor holding it back. So besides Daryl, I think the only other characters that really worked so far were Dale and Glenn. And both of them are becoming stale as of this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigruss Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Can they please write Andrea out of the script, there is at least one moment in every episode that I actually yell how much of a b**** she is to the television. Please kill her off already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of the characters are shallow cardboard cutouts of characters. I think the characters are each one emotion personified and it's not giving them enough range. Daryl is the only character not in the comics so maybe the writers feel like they have to follow the comics. The problem with that is comic book characters always have exaggerated traits to get the point across in a couple sentences of dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree mostly because I can't get over how DUMB Carrie has been in the past 3 episodes or so. Not only did she have sex w/ the MAN SHE IS INVESTIGATING FOR TERRORISM, but she is now forming a relationship with him, while letting him in on CIA intelligence and telling him about their investigation. The show is very interesting and I am thoroughly enjoying it, but I just can't believe a CIA agent would be so reckless, it kind of takes away from the show.

Kalapse Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Looks like Community's going bye-bye, pulled from the mid-season schedule. I know it didn't get a lot of love around here, especially of late it seems but I adored that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That better happen soon, because Im willing to give up on that show just because of her. Ive never met a character so frustrating to watch before, she has had one decent scene and that was when she shot her sister, but the build up to that was even annoying.
