Off subject here, but any Walking Dead fans out there?

I like the first season the best, and towards the end of the second season I grew to really get annoyed. I love the comics the best, though. But I'm kind of not going to watch the show anymore since they killed off my favourite character using a teleporting ninja zombie.

I watch it.
I started collecting the comic books since issue 1, and I always thought it would make a great show. Fast forward several years and here we are, 2 seasons into the show.
Season 1 was good, season two dragged on until the last half I thought... then it picked up. I guess this is where Natalie and I differ in opinion. The thing is, if you know the comics, you have to force yourself to not get bothered when things in the show are different. And honestly, without the show taking creative liberties, we wouldn't have the best character in either the comics or show... Daryl. Are there things that bother me about this series? Hell yes. But the reason I get bothered is because I know there's a diamond of a series in there, just waiting to be unearthed. They've made plenty of mistakes (which I won't get into just now), but they've done a pretty decent job at making a zombie drama on tv work, so hats off to them.
Definitely looking forward to seeing what they do with the show in season 3. Not so sure I like the inclusion of Michonne in the show (despite her being a fan favorite in the comics), but the prison definitely has me excited.

First, i hear you Natalie, my favorite was Shane and d**n did i hate to see him go.Second, i agree with you also Gopher. I think they have done a good job keeping a weekly zombie show interesting and in good with the critics, simply unthinkable to put on tv back 10-20 years ago! I knew the show was based on a comic, but i have never read this, thankfully as i am sure it is better. I never read the book (s) before the movie, i made that mistake with Jurassic Park. Anyone out there know about the "Marvel Zombie" comics? I think that idea would make a helluva movie!
