You're right. The stupid ones are the people that hate the show and keep watching it, and then go on internet forums complaining about how much the show sucks, and then when other posters make the perfectly reasonable suggestion that said people should just stop watching the show, they then just keep watching the show they hate and then go on internet forums complaining about how much the show sucks.

As someone who thinks this show is just alright, I can honestly say the most annoying thing about these threads over the last few weeks have been the not-so-subtle personal jabs members have been throwing at each other because their opinion is different.

To the the contrary, I believe the main complaint about this show is that it has terrible writing, subpar acting, and inconsistent at best characterization. A good number of the complaints also implied that the people do who enjoy the show must do so simply because they are of the lowest common denominator, and only watch because it is that rarest of rarities: A TV show about zombies.
But I could be mistaken.
As transparent as it may have been, however, one should appreciate your attempt to imply that the people who hate the show are, in actuality, the stupid ones.

And I didn't say it was the main complaint, but that it was a complaint (and one that pops up often if you glance over last weeks thread). And yes.. bravo by catching my transparent attempt to get one past you. Have you considered offering your services to Scotland Yard?
If you come back week and week bitching about the 35 minutes each episode that has no zombies in it then you are an idiot for not catching onto the show's formula yet. If that does not apply to you, try not to get offended. The only other time I expressed concern about the intelligence of others in this thread was talking specifically about people who mistake examples of "poor writing" with their own poor reasoning (bolts can't go through skulls, can't be reused, ect.)

My guess is that a screaming, bleeding, wiggling fat boy would probably be more of a distraction to the zombies than a quiet, still one.

I thought it was a good episode with a great ending. Anyone named Otis is pretty much guaranteed to be zombie food. If he does show up as a zombie later on, there better not be much left. That's the one thing I don't get: Zombies are hungry and eat the living but those victims always seem to come back as zombies. Do zombies lose interest after a bite or two?

There's a reason that in Zombie Lore they never explain how the problem became a worldwide epidemic -- because in real life it a plague that spread by human bite (and where the infected devoured their victims) would be very easy to contain.

These are the reasons that I hate this show.
1. Not enough zombies.
2. Not enough zombie killings.
3. Not sure how/why Daryl has so many arrows.
4. Not sure why some zombies are so much faster than others.
5. Show not EXACTLY like the comics.
6. Show too much like the comics.
7. To much talking.
8. Not enough zombies.
9. No need for characterization when you're gonna eventually kill 'em.
10. Not enough zombies.
11. Kirkman fat.
12. Does zombie blood infect you or not?!

I think they need to clarify whether ALL people who die become zombies or whether it requires a bite.

At the fucking least, those posters could post something about the fucking episode.

Same here. I thought maybe it was because I was watching it in SD.

It has been talked about before, but I'll spoil it just in case:

I understand that from the comic but I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned by now. They've been around long enough in this "new world" that they must realize it by now. In my mind it needs to be clairified ASAP that the TV series also follows this rule.

I said last week I thought the fat guy would end up dead to save the kid, but I thought he'd sacrifice himself willingly, not exactly like this. Whoa. It wasn't particularly nice, but it wasn't pure evil either what Shane did, leaving the guy behind (I know, a bit more than that) so he could get the stuff to the doc to save the kid. I wish he at least would've shot him in the head though, poor guy...

As far as just wounding him; live, loud bait would attract more Zed Heads, I should think.

True. I mean thinking about it from a practical stand point it actually makes sense. He is to blame for the kid being shot. In our world he would most likely serve some jail time. Also, had Shane not done it they both would have died. This way the stronger and more able to help the survivors lived. I doubt it could be argued that from a purely logical point of view Shane would have been the better choice all around to live.
