I agree I'd like it to be a little faster

 

I may be in the minority here but I think the show (all seasons) is moving along just great! I had no problem with the great search for Sophia and I had no problem with the herd attack on the farm. I do not believe zombie fight = good, and character development = bad. Was Jaws boring in between the shark attacks? Was it over after Godzilla stomped Tokyo? Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell NO!

 

I agree. With Rick in another mindset the group wound up not securing the premises as they should. No one in the guard tower. Leaving themselves open to the Governor and his goons. If Rick had his senses about him he would have had the group in a better position to prepare for the sure retaliation to come (and which came). He never would have been out chasing Lori and nearly get himself killed, not to mention Axel.

 

The whole Rick chasing Lori thing is certainly an expansion of what happened in the comics. Nothing slow about that, they are just developing that part of the story and they are doing a fantastic job at it. For anyone who has read the comics, this is pretty much right on pace and in my opinion, I think it is closer to the comic now more than it has ever been. Certainly no slow pace about it thus far.

 

The pace is fine imo. Going too fast wouldn't be any good. Season 2 was too slow, but they've picked the pace up in season 3 which is good

 

Agree with OP, it's moving a tad too slowly with much emphasis on Rick's state of mind — boring.

 

Agreed 100%!

 

the walking dead IS a fascinating shoot-em-up/soap opera hybrid, so you can expect it to move slower than your typical resident evil movie, and faster than your typical As The World Turns story arc. but if you think it's going too slow you should just watch resident evil, and if you think it's going too fast you should just watch As The World Turns. the whole point is that the pacing is off.

 

I like thats its slower pace but also im inpatient at the same time....it if went faster it would not give time for the comic to go further....it would catch up to the comic too quickly........

 

I like the pace. If it went fast the show would not last long enough. I hope we get an episode count that matches the number of trades written. That's probably wishful thinking

I am happy with the amount of zombie kills and gore, if it was blood and guts for the whole hour it would start to get boring. I would stop gurning and screaming out loud at the awesome kills like the trunk zombie last week.

The way the show has been written is awesome, it could have been boring and predictable for comic fans but Kirkman has done a killer job in tweaking characters and plot lines.

 

I watched 9, 10 and 11 back to back and found them great, no probs. It feels slow when you only get one show per week.

 

Agreed.

 

Hell NO indeed. :zombies_confused:
