The Dead Walk Again!

[COLOR="Red"]I know this is a bit late but I just want to hear your comments about the finale of WALKING DEAD SEASON 2

Well this is mine:

Episode two of the new season ends with a very ordinary scene: Multiple insane zombie hands sticking through a door, much like season one’s hospital cafeteria shot. It’s too early to begin pulling repeats with just a total of eight episodes in the can. Fortunately, the zombie scenes are still the highlight of the show and do not make me sleep and snore, for now.

On the other hand, I reckon drama is still not this program’s strong point, with the survivors stumbling along their way especially with regard to the dialogue and their drive, they never hook me up. There’s a series of long, on the nose, almost reality TV-like confessional scenes when the group discovers an old church near the end of the extra-long season opener that slows down the shaking, rattling and rolling momentum of the episode after that thrilling beginning.

There’s nothing wrong with a good TV monologue IF AND ONLY IF it is done well, and these show comparisons to a similar scene...minus zombies, of course! ,' in The West Wing, as both have the principal characters railing against the imbalances of the world to God. But the lines in The Walking Dead are so boring... Forgive me Mr. Scripwriter....

Things nearly fall on the edge in the second episode after a unexpected ending that has Grimes torn between his wife and his son. It’s a funny contrived problem that is easily solved, but it gets milked for way too long here. It does, however, put them in a position that the comic was in, so it seems they won’t be forgetting what the comic set out entirely. H.

Ultimately, the show seems to have struck an acceptable balance between zombies and drama. The only problem is the content of the drama parts that continue to lag in quality. So if you can stand some of the more overwrought scenes that makes the actors over acting, The Walking Dead is still a nice, pulpy zombie thriller for me.uicide:[/COLOR]
