<p>I've read the graphic novels don't mind the changes, the fact that everyone who dies turns into a walker is a pretty cool twist on the theme.<br>
Series two was supposed to be a blackhawk down type tale of a bunch of soldiers trapped in Atlanta trying to fight their way out which would have been ducking awesome . Instead the cut the budget right back and stayed on the farm,<br><br><strong>Michonne used to have two walkers with their arms and jaws cut off that she led on chains, they were her boyfriend and his best mate.</strong></p>

<p>I've just finished watching the entire series of The Shield. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>What an awesome show, it is definitely in my top echelon of shows. I think of the shows with a bad main character this shits all over Breaking Bad IMHO - I've put myself in some fans firing lines now but I truly believe it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think the acting was top class for a show that could have been a police procedural in many places.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I couldn't stand Kavanaugh's characterisation (as mentioned earlier) and was extremely pleased Glenn Close was only on for a season - is it weird that I can't stand her? Even so, the series' they were on were still great.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One thing I don't understand is:</p>
<p>[spoiler] Why, when he made his confession to ICE did Vic even mention that he murdered Terry? That case was always Vic's word against Shane's and Shane was on the run for trying to kill cops, including Vic, so would hardly be a credible witness. Also, why didn't he just omit Ronnie from any of the really bad stuff? That was the only thing that was a bit odd to me as it seemed out of character. Sucks to be Ronnie. Him and Lem were basically the two good guys on the Strike Team and met the worst end. [/spoiler]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One thing I found funny is that there wasn't any consistency with the extras at the barn, so you'd get random detectives just appearing in the background.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm a bit sad now, I need a replacement show that will be as good.</p> -

<p>ok, i have a confession to make. I love "My Kitchen Rules". I love food, i love cooking, i like to watch what people can whip up, but most of all, i like watching hubris. I love watching people crap on about how good they are in the kitchen, how their food is so much better than what everyone else dishes up, and then when they put that plate down, full of confidence, BAM! Manu tells them it's shit, and their face falls, and i laugh. endless entertainment</p>

<p>Is this in regards to True Detective? Have you read it, and how closely does it link to the series? I'm loving the TV series and I think the book has been quoted in it, but I don't want to read it for fear of spoiling the show.</p> -

<p>True Detective is awesome, although I wish I'd waited until all episodes were out before I started watching it as I'm always hanging out for the next episode.</p>
</div>

<p>Impossible for me. Two friends at work are watching, and can't wait to throw out theories on Mon morning. Plus the local sports talk radio hosts are hooked, and discuss on air as well. I am forced to watch live so I don't get spoiled. Good freaking show. I wonder what is going to happen in the second season with all new actors and a new story. Hopefully not a huge drop off in quality.</p> -

<p>Yeah, I haven't read it, but I suspect that it is only tangentially related to the show. There is an interesting summary of <em>The King in Yellow</em> here:</p>

<p>I really enjoy it and it gets better as it goes along. I only find the secretary lady to be annoying of all the cast (ok is small doses but not if she's used too much) ... but the other two are quite attractive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The stuff around the captains lack of emotions is hilarious.</p> -
