    Breaking basic cable records but no budget? With all the fans willing to work for free to be a zombie, contests made to be a zombie in an episode, and a farm house, school, tiny little town and the woods as a film set for a year you might think this is going to get good. The insaine amount of attention they give the drama queens of the trailer park is killing it. We expected S2E8 for them to get kicked off the farm, and get back to the real issue... zombies, the only reason we watch!!! 5% zombies per episode or more would be a nice touch.

    "Superb"

    The show is good, very unique show where you have a show that involves zombies. Getting to season 2 and not a lot of or no competition like the vampire series. This should be really great, but not quite yet, they lack direction and not fully using their characters to their fullest potential. The show is predicable later on, this rating is not for the current season 2 this is based on season 1. The reason why I let this rating stick is the potential of the show, It's still new and figuring out the direction of the show is still up in the air.moreless

    People may read this and will say to me...then stop watching it!! I say to them, just as well, you can stop reading my post. Here, stop.

    For the rest of you, I will start by saying that this show has potential. It WAS good, the first season did not end great, but it started out great. It had real zombie issues, real tangible problems I could envision myself going through if i were thrust into their position. Couple episodes later..what are we left with? We are left with idiotic characters and their manufactured problems, repetitive plot lines with progress at the speed of molasses, and worst of all, a zombie (oops, people show) show with not a sign of zombies. I'll address these points individually.
    1) Idiotic characters and their manufactured drama: How stupid can these characters get? Each episode we see them getting into increasingly ridiculous situations that only a "lame-brain" would make. Half of season 2 was based on a stupid move made by a kid that probably deserved to be zombified. She had two decisions, stay, or run and keep the sun on her shoulder. She did neither, and we never find out why. Shane has been a loose canon that should have been tied down, since season 1 when he said they should put more cans up around their perimeter, when the zombies already breached their perimeter without any noise. That alone deserved a quick shovel to the head. Or, most recently, when Lori decided to take off and read the map and drive at the same time, to do something redundant. Great.
    2) I guess this point is related to the idiotic characters, how they managed to drag out 6 episodes in the forest looking for sophia is beyond me. I feel stupid for having sat through all that expecting more.
    3) For a show called the walking dead, the only ones I see go by the names Lori, Shane, and Rick. I'm not asking for a slaughterfest every episode, but ones which deal with external zombie issues every once in a while would be nice. Instead of dealing with 3-way love triangles and unwanted pregnancies all the time. That would be nice. Is this too much to ask?

    This show had potential..and still does. If only the writers will make up their damn mind and stop manufacturing drama. This will only hold people so long until they realize this show is drivel.moreless

    Of couse we could survive machine guns, grenades, meteors, nuclear weapons, but teeth are too much for us right?

    If only humans had the technology of thick leather clothes and helmets, the world would be saved from biting zombies.
