Now THAT\'S how you end a season! On a high infinite bullets note!
Who else is watching TWD? Season 2 started out as a snoozer until midway through when it got "good". Then as it got better, it ends! :laughing:
-
I wouldn\'t say it started out as a snoozer, there is something to be said to building a season and making an awesome finale. A season can hinge on being good or bad by how the finale plays out.

I was hooked when this series first dropped last year, but like gman stated, the snoozer fest in the beginning lost me....i haven\'t watched it since. I\'m sure they;ll be repeating episodes so i can always catch up on them...

[SPOILERS!!!!]
The series spent WAY too much time stuck at the farmhouse. If they had followed the pacing of the comics, they might have spent 3-4 episodes there, instead of a season and a half. I\'m not saying they automatically fail by deviating from the comics, but by any measure the pacing of season 2 was unnaturally slow.
In any case, they are now on to the prison, which is where things get really interesting. Also, thank god Shane is dead. What an annoying character!

I agree to a certain extent. But at the same time, I always viewed the show as more of a social commentary of how people would act in the situation..rather than it being event driven or a zombie pop-out fest. So I wasnt totally upset with the pacing
I actually didnt like season 1\'s pacing more because it made no sense. It makes sense to stay bunkered in a safe house for as long as possible...it doesnt make sense to escape from a city, going back into the city, escape from the city...go back to the city, escape, and have the season finale...in the city.
But i still enjoy the show and thought season 2 ended great. didnt fully understand Lori\'s reaction to Shane dieing though since she started that shit,lol. I thought she was upset with herself for bringing up the kid to shane but then she stayed pissed at rick

Leave it to Lori to swerve away and nearly kill herself to save a zombie.
