The 1st season zombies were a bit closer to Romero's zombies (ie, they have just enough residual memory to vaguely remember places or simple object usage and the turn time is REALLY long), although given how silly the later Romero movies got, maybe it is a good thing they moved away from that lol

What? Dawn and Day are very good. I'm just glad Romero then decided to never, ever direct any more zombie films so we've got this nice trilogy with no unpleasant revisits and no godawful in-title-only reboots.

Darabont vision was walker's retained certain memories and abilities. Morgan's wife remember which house she lived in, her and few others tried door knobs, and other stuff like that.

This made me laugh.

I will say though, Day is entertaining in a campy sort of way but his only actualgoodfilms are Night and Dawn.

Night is Night, obviously as a pioneer film you really can't compare it to much.

Dawn was the "fun" movie for me, although it was never actually scary.

Day was pretty bad, although I always did like the opening shot of zombie Miami. Bud the Zombie was the beginning of the end, though, because Romero went with that idea and used it in pretty much every other zombie film going forward.

The Dawn remake was scarier IMO, even if you just count those first 15 minutes. Even people who didn't like the remake have to admit the start of that film is pretty intense and actually capture the "surprise! Zombies! Your civilization is fucked!" feeling.

I really disliked the new one when I first saw it but I do enjoy it now. I was much bigger into Romero back then though and felt insulted at just how dumb the new one is. Today, I think it's a pretty great modern zombie/horror flick. Zombie baby being the only scene i cringe at.

In a similar manner, I think The Crazies was a pretty successful mindless Romero remake.

I never watched this show, but when my facebook wall lit up with howls over the mid season finale, I felt I had to watch it, and recorded the marathon. Now that I have caught up, I was instantly hooked with the 1st season, and then it was up and down after that. However, this season they are currently on kind of blows me away. It started out amazing and then it completely died in those last couple of episodes. The build up to the final episode was there and I understood it, only for it all to mean nothing when all was said and done and the credits were rolling on the finale. I don't mind cheesy (things like the van part), and I have an easy suspension of disbelief there, but I have a hard time writing off just bad decisions for the sake of added drama (Sasha helping their captive). To me it seems like they laid out their entire plan for this show with 8 episode seasons in mind like most other cable shows, and instead of combining two seasons into one, they are trying to stretch out 8 episodes worth of content over 16. Hopefully the second half of season 5 turns it around with an interesting arc, to lessen the bad of that finale.

Just so you know, The Walking Dead is a comic book first and foremost. The show definitely takes some liberties from the comic, but it's a very similar story.

Sasha helping her captive was face palm worthy, but it gave us a bad ass rick moment the next episode when he runs the guy over.

Yeah, I'm reading the comic now as well, but I haven't gotten far enough in where the TV show is wholly different (outside of the characters).

And yeah I liked that Rick moment too. However, the completely anti-climatic way the "showdown" ended up just really deflated most of the meat behind those previous episodes (which were all good in their own way).

I thought prior to Coda they was going to kill at least 2 since the group had grown into a small army, but I wasn't expecting Tyreese or any other this week for that matter.
Still 14+baby. They need a headshot cheater in the show still to make a few more rage quit.

Noah dying would have made some sense, heck any of them dying would have at various points, but Tyreese in a room when he knew a walker or more was about?
I still expect more though, 14+baby is still way too many mains to follow and leaves little room for the events upcoming.

out of all the black people on this show, tyrese was by far the coolest. killing him because reasons was stupid. and even more stupid was all that artsy fartsy dream shit they were doing. it felt like somebody's college film school project.
