I will agree that Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead are both awesome series. I'm about to watch the latest The Walking Dead episode right now.

Now, from what I've read, The Walking Dead has gone waaaay down hill since the first season. Like, there's barely any zombie killing, and every character has become shitty, and all there really is going on is whining and bitching.
Or so I've heard.

Yeah whoever said that can suck a bag of dicks. This season hasn't been perfect, but it has been really great IMO. The episode from Sunday night was incredible. And Shane is going to die at the end of this season, which further makes it a badass season. I hope Carl does it.

Shane is a fucking douche-bag faggot. I couldn't believe all the shit he did. Made me wanna kick my fucking TV.

Well he's dying this season, I'm convinced.

TBH, I haven't watched any of this season.

I think I'll do some catching up today.

The guy was complaining that Carl devolved the most. He said he missed the "comedy relief" Carl, or something.

I just realized we're not even in the third season yet. :facepalm:

Carl isn't supposed to be comic relief. That guy is an idiot. Carl becomes pretty much the other main character in the comics besides Rick. He's a kid living in a zombie apocalypse, he either has to be a badass or die. And he's pretty badass later in the comics. Even now he's turning into a badass in the show. I think they are doing a wonderful job with it.

During the first half of the current series, there were a couple of episodes that were nothing but talking, but the mid-series finale, and the episodes since, have been good quality, particularly the most recent, as !K_A! said. I think there are two or three left, and shit is getting real.

Having never read the comics, I'll be interested to see how they move on at the end of this series - I can't see them staying at the farm for much longer. Something catastrophic is coming.

Lenny, if you enjoy the TV series you should definitely check out the comics. I don't even like comics and I got hooked on them. The TV show will be like 6 seasons down before they catch up to the comics I think.

If I can find time, I definitely will, as well as the Watchmen comics. Currently, though, I've got quite a lot of work on, and when I finish that I've got a to-read pile of around fifty books, a to-play pile of twelve PS3 games, and a to-download-and-play list of close to eighty things on Steam. Damn this education and prospects of a rich life.

Compared watching the TV series, reading the comics take up much less time. In the time it takes to watch the first episode of the first season of The Walking Dead, you can read far enough in the comics to be at or beyond the point where they are at at the beginning of season 2. In the time it takes to watch the entire first season, you can probably be around halfway through the comics that are currently released.

It takes me about 8-12 minutes to read one issue of TWD and I'm a slow reader.

In that case, I'll have a lookee for them. I assumed they'd be full-on graphic novel works, rather than comics.
