So.... same old.

 

I didn't even notice the lack of walkers.

 

You named your profile after Lori, and are choosing to play the soap opera card. Bold move. Now tell us what you thought of season 2.

 

I thought it was a good episode, and am expecting some complications through Maggies pregnancy, she's looking a bit pale and haggard to me.

But not every episode can be all about walkers, and didn't Rick say last week (or was that in the comic) that he realised that the walkers are a manageable threat, unless we see herds again they're going to be able to dispatch them pretty quickly.
I think Glenn, Daryl and Rick all got one walker kill on the way to Hilltop.

 

TWD is a soap opera. Always has been.

 

Yes, Walking Dead is a soap opera....

 

Well, the Walkers are no longer the biggest threat right now so it makes sense that they don't appear in every single episode.

 

The walkers are a big part of the show, but the main focus of the show is the people. The title, The Walking Dead, is not really about the walkers.

 

Exactly. This show has been a drama since day one. I'm not understanding why people still complain when there's an episode of very few walkers.

 

It's not a soap opera until Eugene's in the shower singing.

 

Because it often does the walker stuff A+ while the drama portion of the show is more B. They will have some good elements brewing, but end them too quickly (the W guy Carol/Morgan fought over is one to think of). Then you counterbalance that with the fact that while some of the actors are excellent, but there is too much ambiance for the sake of ambiance without actually building characters. It would be nice to spend more time on other more interesting things. Lots of people enjoy the walker stuff and at times are cringing or thinking the drama portion is just OK. So while they get by when walkers are present, they have a tough time when there are none.

I liked the episode though, it was interesting to potentially expand the show's characters known map. Jesus is a fun guy, let's go someplace with all this!

 

Last week a dozen untrained nobodies took out 1000 walkers with knives in the dark. The show has moved beyond walkers.

 

They weren't untrained. Untested yes, but remember that we saw Rosita giving lessons to a small group. I'm sure that wasn't a one-off.

 

It be more and more human interaction right now.

But this is a bloody damn soap opera then :S

 

Most soap opera scene this episode-

Abraham lying in the dirt... Daryl walks up. " Hey man... you alright?"

Abraham looks at Daryl, finally seeing the strong sweaty man in a new light. The fog of Rosita and Sasha cleared away by the adrenaline rush. Abraham smiled, "yea, I'm more than alright."

A chill went down Abrahams spine as Daryl extended his hand to help him up. A flash of something else extending flashed in his mind and a smile crossed his face. As he got to his feet, the silver chain of the pooty lay in the hay and the dirt. The Red emblem shaped just like Rosita and Sasha's lady bits.

Free from the weight of obligation Abraham chuckled as he put his hand in Daryl's strong hand.
Abraham inhaled deeply, something on the wind, musky and strong, it was Daryl. Abraham looked away trying not to betray his thoughts.

Soap Opera, yup - that's TWD.
hahaha lol.

Symbolism everywhere.

 

You hit the nail on the head. Season 2, or as I like to call it, "As Lori's Sex Life Crumbles."

 

That's a bit weird since it is supposed to be a HORROR show.

 

You obviously missed Jesus' wig.
