I thought the comic had plenty of great characters. Michonne seemed really out of place at first, but I feel that in the last few story arcs Kirkman has fixed that. It's interesting to see Rick's transformation into more of a hard ass as the series goes on. It's not freaking Shakespeare, but I think it won an Eisner for a reason.

Okay Ninja Turtles fans, did anyone else flashback to the first movie when...

Spoiler:
Hershel looks out the back window to see his farm in flames? Reminds me of April and the antique shop.

"Beside the Dying Fire" was crazy! The Greene farm was a freakin war zone.

Lori pissed me off so much though, can't wait for her to die (hopefully). And not that Rick was wrong at all, but his word selection in this episode left a lot to be desired. I guess that's part of his character though, since he and Lori were having "communication" problems before the ZA.

And how effing awesome was it when

Season 1 was awesome. Season 2 was just ok.

They're starting to put a little too much focus on the characters and too little on the actual "surviving the zombie apocalypse" part. It's turning into a soap opera, and I find myself hating characters more and more all the time.

Spoiler:
When Carl got shot at the beginning of the season, I almost fell asleep. I was hoping he would die just so they could move on. They've turned him into an annoying little brat, too. No matter how many times they tell him to stay in the house, he always wanders off into a bad situation. Fingers crossed that they kill him soon.

As mentioned, Lori is a stupid bitch too. She told Rick to take care of Shane and then she gets pissed of when he's FORCED to kill him. What kind of wife sides with the guy who pulled a gun on her husband? Oh right, the kind that would sleep with another guy a couple weeks after her husband dies. Hope she dies too.

Dale was a nice guy, but I didn't care that he died. His whining was getting annoying. Shane was turning into a big dink too. Good riddance.

I'm tired of Glen's whole relationship struggle thing. Oh no, a girl that's way hotter than me wants me to sleep in the same bed as her but I can't because I don't want to make Hershel mad. He gave you the damn watch, just bone her already!

The short haired chick kills me. She went from "Go save my daughter" to "Oh no, my daughter's dead" to "Rick, you have to help your son". She's always got something to moan and bitch about yet she never does anything. Shut up! Who are you?

Darryl is the only character that I've consistently liked throughout the show. I'm liking Hershel more now that he's not being a tard, and I like Andrea now that she's not having her period all the time.

People are complaining that there's too much character interaction and not enough action. My biggest complaint is that the character interaction is just plain obnoxious. Unfortunately, there's always 5-10 awesome minutes in each episode that keeps me watching. I really hope season 3 is better. My hopes are high.

Edit: I completely forgot about T-Dog because he has like 3 lines in every episode. Couldn't even tell you if I like or hate him.

Im a big fan of the comic and the show. Tyrese is probably one of my favorites in the book. Daryl for sure in the show

I prefer the story in the video game to the comic and tv show... more likable cast in the game

Hershel's farm in general gives me TMNT movie 1 vibes. Something about the house style itself, and the dramatic natural lighting .
