episode 4 was pretty nuts. Started off strong and then descended into some overacting and lame standoff material which I thought was pretty boring and poorly written. The final act in the camp has got to be one of the greatest scenes in all things zombie. Perfect setup with the story around the campfire and then a truly heartpumping zombie attack.. horribly sad as well.

This show is amazing.

Is Shane going to make it? I thought they established that the zombie bite causes a fever.. I can't believe they would kill him off so quickly... Although they could stretch that ordeal out for the last few episodes of the season.

It's a good show, but there are enough loopholes, untied loose ends and plot exploits that you could drive a truck through. Hopefully those little issues get worked out in season 2.

Ep 5 was my favorite one so far. The scene with Rick and his cop partner arguing out in the woods was scripted hilariously well.

I'm most interested to watch how Andrea's character develops on the show.

i though this episode was a snooze fest. i started reading netphoria after they showed the dead chick doing nothing for 13 minutes. the end picked up, though.

[Sonic Johnny]

EEEEEEEEEEEEE serious plot deviations here, I don't know how I feel about all this.

[slunken]

That's how I felt during the first 4.

It's been a few weeks since I was reading the books so I'm not bothered as much by it anymore.

[dean_r_koontz]

episode 5 was much better than fourth i thought. i think kirkman wrote the fourth one and it doesn't really come up to the level of the others.

As they get further and further away from the comic book storyline the plot holes get worse and worse.

[Eulogy]

which plot holes are you guys talking about? i can't tell whether they're so obvious and i'm just dismissing them subconsciously or if i'm just missing a lot.

[Mooney]

the biggest plot hole that i see is that zombies don't exist.

[Eulogy]

yeah that's what i'm saying. i'm not really analyzing every happening in order to measure plausibility. but i still might be missing stuff.

[dean_r_koontz]

i don't see the plot holes either. enlighten us rider.

Lets see the city is so deadly and dangerous yet two guys managed to save an entire nursing home full of old people in the city. There are tons of little things like that. The fact that you can't start a car when the car alarm is going off. Grandma just accidentally walking into the middle of a gun fight. There are just so many silly little things you need to over look in every episode.

Now they are doing a whole CDC virus explain the outbreak thing which Kirkman had no interest in and purposely avoided in the books.

[dean_r_koontz]

they're not striving for a realistic drama here rider. a plot hole in my opinion would be if say shane is seemingly bitten by a zombie in one episode and then he's back in the next without any problems and there's not explenation for that. the stuff you're mentioning are just unrealistic aspects of the show, like a zombie apocalypse for example.
And of course you don't know that they will explain the zombie problem with a virus, you've only seen a guy working in a lab. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't come up with anything.

[dean_r_koontz]

not that a virus explenation would be wrong by default, just a bit unimaginative.

[slunken]

I don't think the CDC will play a huge part in the series. I think it's just being used to give Season 1 the illusion of some sort of closure. With it only being 6 episodes long it probably had to be presented as a finite story in case S2 didn't get picked up.

There were more than two guys. And the other people were safe in a department store until whatshisname led them to it. That's not a plot hole. Neither is an old person wandering somewhere. but ok.

[slunken]

I wonder how long it will be until they run into Merle.

Watch the episode again. He explains it was two guys everyone else left, the others showed up later.

And no one was living in the department store they were just there grabbing shit and leaving.

The entire US military could not defend the CDC but there is an old age home full of meat that is fine. Sorry makes no sense.
