I just watched the midseason premiere, and how this snooze fest got 8 million viewers watching it is completely beyond me. Season One was a brilliant piece of television, but then it just took that nose dive into mediocrity. What a waste.

its called "getting snookered"! :icon_e_surprised::D

Movies aren't just about special effects. It can be dated but if the premise and story is makes up for it, I'll watch it.

maybe it is a good idea to prep ourselves for some really sad a$$ed ending once they get cancelled...Everyone will die and TPTB will have some excuse like "its the walking dead-that didn't mean the zombies but the survivors. their existence is doomed and a lost cause--they have no future hence they were the walking dead." or some other lame-o excuse for bad show running.

but by then, TPTB would have made their money and a name for themselves-a resume booster-and to he!! with the viewers.

yes feel free to call me a pessimist

TPTB seem to be doing this already. The producer they interviewed on "The Talking Dead" was full of stupid retorts like you just laid out. He was a back peddling, surly defensive apologist who promised the season would pick up and get better. Lots of surprises and crap like that. I think since the rest of the season is already in the can (filmed) there's nothing they can do except to lie about how good it's going to be, blah blah blah. They were definitely on a high from the ratings for the first season and thought they could do no wrong. Didn't take long for them to screw things up though did it? :(

As I recall, this is the show where the fired just about all the writers and brought in brand new people...

Not a good idea when your formula is working with the original writers.

Meh.

OMG, last night's episode "Triggerfinger" was incredibly bad. This show is really tanking in my estimation. It's nothing but bad melodrama. Even when there's action to the scenes there's no movement.

Time to give up on this turd. :(

OMG OMNI, the second season is far worse than the first one. Seriously, it has devolved into utter crap. It may be an unbelievable premise but the characters and situations are so unrealistic that it is insulting to watch.

I mean this in all seriousness: The British period drama Downton Abbey is far more interesting and compelling than TWD. Seriously. :(

sorry to 'interrupt' your conversation....I was just thinking that SGU was a far better show than TWD (so far at least)

at least SGU had some kind of interest to each show...TWD is becoming painful and predictable, i only saw the last scene last night and got what pretty much happened the whole show . at least i dont recall that happening with sgu or for that matter, any other show

Well, with SGU they actually attempted to make the show better in season 2, which is the opposite of TWD. It's like TWD is turning completely into a soap opera.

As much as I loath SGU I have to concur somewhat. The pace was slow on SGU and some stuff was idiotic but it wasn't as egregiously insulting to my intelligence as TWD has become.
