Watched the first episode of season II.
Good- Deliverance Man (aka Daryl)
Bad- The idea that noise attracts zombies but Daryl is riding a loud ass Harley
Good- The loud ass Harley :)
Bad- Dale up on top of the RV with binoculars doesn't see the horde coming until they are about 200yrds away! Dale, get a new job!!!
Good- Andrea scrambles the zombie brain with a screw driver! Okay, that was fricking awesome!!!
Bad- Daryl throws a recently killed zombie oozing zombie juice on to a recently arm gouged T-dog.
Good- The new Gerber toys the kid found in the truck!!

Better but only because of the last 5 minutes or so. I was actually getting really annoyed since they were taking up so much time with the boy and how he should survive because "he talked about the deer" or looking for the little girl, still, instead of showing how Shane and Otis were dealing with the zombies. But the end actually, finally, had something interesting happen with Shane giving Otis up to the zombies as bate so he could get away. It's actually given me more hope for the show although I'm sure they're still going to be wandering around the woods for a few episodes looking for the girl.

Pretty good episode. I loved the hanging geek. This show has a lot of critics on this board, but I am really enjoying it.

We're a small but motivated group.:) The show seems to still be getting good numbers so it looks like you're far from alone on it.

It is dragging on a bit at times, but it reminds me of many of the Lost episodes early on that did the same thing were you were waiting for something to happen and then at the end something does, like how Otis was left for dead. I really think it will start to pick up, but for now I am enjoying it for what it is.

It was a 'meh' show for me last season, and it's still a 'meh' show. As long as I keep deciding to watch it from its spot on my DVR, and as long as it doesn't get boxed out of my DVR (can only record two shows at the same time), I'll follow it. When that changes, I will have no problem dropping the show.

He wasn't just left for dead. IMO he was murdered.

Not much competition on Sunday night.

I was SOOOOO close to giving up on this show....but the last minutes of the latest episode FINALLY gave us something to build on. Sucks that it took this long for something to actually happen. Have we been just building up and setting the stage for the REAL show these past few weeks? i hope so.

Wow, was that a snoozer last night. My struggle to stay awake was tougher than their struggle with the zombies in the that episode.

I did. But it seemed a little edited to me. :) My wife was watching it as well, so I stifled my comments.

Last night's episode was OK for me. The well scene was interesting. Plus, I've been reading the comic and kind of get where they are going and it's keeping me interested in seeing exactly how they implement it. Also, I watch it on DVR so I get to skip the commercials which seem to be every 2 minutes (is it just me or does this show have more than most?). If I had to watch the all the commercials I'd be banging my head against a wall.

Had anyone watched the Webisodes on amctv.com. They follow a family just the events start to unfold. About 20 minutes worth. They are pretty cool.
