Highly doubt Daryl is dying when he has his own video game coming out next year. Not to say he won't leave the group.

If you're thinking about watching the show, itcanbe mildly entertaining at times.

Watch season 1, it started off great and ended a little weird, but otherwise good. Skip season 2 - they're on a farm, literally that's the entire season in a few words. THEY ARE ON A MOTHERFUCKING FARM.

Season 3 is pretty good, a lot less whining about shit that doesn't matter and a lot more zombie killing.

Season 1 was terribad. The pilot was amazing, then nothing happened, then they went to the CDC. That is it. Season 2 is frustrating. Season 3, so far, it much better.

If maggots stay away from zombie flesh, so would actually somewhat sentient mammals and birds.

However, it's obvious zombies just spawn here. Sometimes even within Line of sight when the characters are looking in a different direction, just like cars and pedestrians in GTA.

I can't tell if Season 3 is good or just so much better than the shit we were given previously that I think it's good. In all honestly it might still be really bad and I just don't notice.

It was Six Episodes, and you had to be introduced to many characters along the way. Not sure what you would expect to "happen".

1 Episode of all rick, One at the CDC in the Finale.

So that was 4 episodes of Rick Finding hte group, reuniting his family, meeting all the characters, screwing Merle, showing the rift between Shane and Rick, and setting out for the CDC (after a night where several characters die). And who can forget the CHOLOS.

Seems like a decent pace to me.

Put me in the column of thinking that a show like this wouldn't survive killing off its main character (Rick). I'm not saying they won't ever do it, but if they do it will be time for the show to die. You guys aren't thinking like all the non-nerd and/or female viewers out there that would get butthurt if they killed off the guy they have watched for several years. Sure, WE all would watch it, but a good chunk of the viewer base would say fuck it. Game of Thrones is an anomaly in that it is surviving without one main sympathetic character leading the entire thing. Walking Dead isn't good enough on its own to attempt to duplicate that feat.

GoT made the very wise decision of not ever trying to have a single main character. yes they favored Ned in season 1, but you can also say that Arya, Tyrion or Lady Stark were favored almost as much. in TWD its all rick. daryl is good in small doses, but would get old fast if he was on as much as rick. same for scowlie or carl.

That is more related to the source material lacking a main character than the show making this grand decision.

And we will see how that plays out in the next 2 seasons of GoT. TV is very different than books (Duh, I know) and I am not sure the way books 2-4 churn through characters will adapt well to TV or their viewers.

No one knows how long it takes these zombies to go through decomp. And in the comics I don't recall them saying anything about them needing to "eat" to survive.

The comics have had a few panels hinting at something going on with the zombie's decomposition levels over the past 20 issues or so. They're leading up to something, so hopefully there will be some answers before long.

The Walking Dead's TV-14 Rating Under Fire Due to AMC Series' "Brutally Intense Violence and Gore"

Has The Walking Dead found a new, non-zombie enemy?!

The Parents Television Council has targeted the AMC drama, which is currently in its third season. Why?

Because of its TV-14 rating!

"Throughout its run, the AMC program The Walking Dead has featured some of the most graphic and brutally intense violence and gore imaginable," PTC president Tim Winter said in a statement. "In the current season alone the show has depicted hundreds of scenes of grisly murder both of living and ?undead,' but human, characters."

Clearly, Winter has watched the show as he goes into detail about the gore featured on the top-rated drama. "The intensely violent content has included depictions of the cleaving of human skulls with a machete, extreme gun violence, including graphic depictions of blood and brains splattering after gunshot wounds, and the use of a sharpened human bone as a weapon to stab another character."

Winter then drives his point home about the age rating, saying, "Clearly, this is content appropriate to an adult-only audience, but AMC has rated every single episode of The Walking Dead as suitable for a 14-year-old child."

Former Senator Gordon Smith, who is the chairman of the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board, is being called upon by Winer to reconsider the "inaccurate" rating.

"On behalf of our better than 1.3 million members, we call on you and the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board to immediately take any necessary steps to insure that this program is rated accurately, appropriately and for the audience for which the show is designed," says Winter. "For the TV ratings system to work as it is designed, the board and you as its chairman can do no less."

AMC has yet to comment.

AMC censors anything it considers rated R so if the censors are getting their panties in a bunch, you can pretty much guarantee the show will be toned down.

Maybe America's puritanical ethics will force the show's story to progress instead of primarily focusing on randomly killing zombies in a regurgitated plot loop.

wonder if there is much difference in money for TV-14 and TV-MA. they are pulling such good numbers don't think the rating change would change much. FX doesn't seem to care to get TV-MA ratings.
