<p>anyone else watching Homeland? For the 2nd season in a row, i am starting to feel like i am only watching it because the first series was so good. </p>

<p>Yep, I am still for some reason hoping Brodies wife will make a topless appearance. At least Carrie hasn't cried in this season yet, or don't her scrunch face.</p>

<p>Gave up on Walking Dead when the most battle hardened person in it (Carl) walked backwards through a zombie zone leading a zombie & SHOCK backed into zombies...</p> -

<p>I stopped watching after those became few and far between. </p> -
<p>her tits aren't enough for me to hope those whiney fluffybunnies ever come back on my TV screen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Carrie doesn't cry now, she has had a personality transplant, and is now just a bitch to everyone. </p> -

<p>OK. Walking Dead.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After reading this thread and seeing how popular the show is I was toying with the idea of watching the lot.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Previously I had seen about 20 minutes of an episode somewhere around season 2 and dismissed it as stupid. Bunch of people walking around trying to survive to the next episode while fighting zombies. Then I watched last nights episode and found that it was really about a bunch of people walking around trying to survive to the next episode while fighting zombies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What am I not seeing here?</p>

<p>There are a few reasons I watch it. The photography is movie quality at times, it just looks great. Acting is top notch, intense and surprising at times. And it's one of the few shows that main characters aren't safe from being killed (a few exceptions, but people die unexpectedly all the time).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The story, for the main part, is pretty interesting. If you watch it from the beginning (the first season is pretty short anyway) you'll get a better sense of the character progression. Carol's arc is utterly brilliant (four season character progression, she's unrecognizable as the person in season one). Rick's character has changed completely a few times now. They have scenes on this show that I can't believe they have on TV. The "flowers" scene from last season still upsets me. The BBQ scene from this season has bothered my wife alot! (Trying to avoid spoilers)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's basically a show about how people change in adversity, and the zombies aren't the cause of most of the problems.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Worth your time, but start from the beginning.</p> -
The flowers scene stuck with me for a while. In the books it was two boys and Carl did Carols work.<br><br>
Speaking of main characters dying I suspect one of my favourites is going to be killed soon, the TV show drifts in and out of the books plot lines Darrel for example doesn't exist in the book but I think they are going with a similar line to the book. The makers did say the actual method of the characters demise might not make it to tv as someone being beaten to death with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire might be a step too far . -
<p>Yeah the flower scene and the one in the 1st ep of this series were rather brutal! </p>

<p>The flowers scene didn't bother me, I think it had to happen ... all the stuff she did in the lead up ensured it had to happen, the crazy little bint.</p> -

<p>It wasn't so much the crazy little hint , more the sister and the situation. Carl did it with a knife while everyone else was sleeping and never told anyone , it created a fair bit of tension in the group.</p>
<p>You must be close to the current season now?</p> -

<p>Stuff like that never used to bother me, but since I had kids (I'm assuming a young guy like you doesn't?) violence against kids bothers me</p> -
<p>SOA</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]I wonder if this will be the end game. The characters suffer the same fate as those they have harmed. Bobby screwed Otto's beloved now, like Otto, he loses an eye.<br>
Looking like Gemma may die by the hand of Abel.<br>
Sure it was intentional at the end that the package contained both an iPad and an "eye on a pad". It's the kind of sick mind Sutter has. Brings new meaning to a retina display.[/spoiler]</p> -

'm not young - I think I'm about your age
.... No kids though.<br><br>
Violence against kids bothers me too, just not in this situation because of what she had done ... and would have done.<br><br><br><br><br><br>
I'm starting the new season today. -

Finally see Peggy for what she is and split. Thought. It was gonna be Wendy to hear Peggy...[/spoiler]

<p>Walking Dead </p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]Some more OTT brutal killings, with Rick exacting revenge, just as promised on the cannibal leader.<br><br>
Otherwise kinda felt like a filler episode TBH...gpt a glimpse of next week which looks interesting, not to mention that black dude is out there too, I think he's probably been watching all the goings on as well.<br>
</p>
<p>Andrea is dead isnt she?[/spoiler] </p> -

<p>This episode nearly had me warming up for my next rant.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler] When they left the church to go to the school I assumed that they had some sort of plan in case the cannibals were waiting - because how did Bob get back, but then I thought this is The Walking Dead, the writers can be stupid, yep that stupid, and maybe they really did leave - thankfully they're not that stupid this time. And Andrea better be dead.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, another black character bites the dust, TBF, we had a number of episodes with multiple black characters and with the addition of the priest they were clearly at capacity so Bob had to go ;). It looks like they're working their way through the cast of The Wire (you watched it yet TR?) so I wonder who we'll see next? [/spoiler]</p> -
<p>Walking dead </p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:13.63636302948px;">[spoiler] They dumped Bob outside because they thought it would freak them out and panic them into doing something stupid when they found him and he told them what they had done. Rick also said thats what they were expecting them to do. I'm not sure why the scientist and big bloke have split off, and the teaser for next weeks episode looked weird with the two cops and the girl that Darrell is looking for, none of that is in the books. They are due to find another place to settle down again but they do drift in and out of the books plotlines so often, the speech the cannibal gave where they intimated they ate their kids first was word for word from the book but they stayed together after they took care of them in the book rather than splitting up. [/spoiler]</span></p> -
<p>Sons</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]So, is this going anywhere? That is now two episodes that feel like fillers. Maybe i am just impatient as i want to see where this is heading, but it seems to be moving slow. I don't even know why they wanted to take down Marks?<br><br>
Unser is on the case, he's going to figure it all out, that fluffybunny Gemma better not kill him as well. [/spoiler]</p>
