There are two things I hate about this show (yet I'm still watching because I really want to see the downfall of society, something we missed in WD. I don't know how they are going to pull it off as we already know the military is in place and knows about the virus and how to kill the walkers. They aren't the fastest enemies at all so its going to take a big leap to show how the military can't just walk into a city and shoot every walker in the head.)
Anyway: 1. The show has the same beyond stupid moments that make me crazy when I watch TD (Beth's beyond ridiculous). For instance, (I'm bad with remembering names) when Patrick (? Asian man), comes home from his trip, he's just saying how the airport was closed and he had to drive the whole way home. WHAT?!? Every time we see a character driving,they are passing burning buildings, riots, soldiers, cops and the air is filled with military helicopters. He's seen none of this. He should be running into his house, screaming for his wife, are you ok? What's happening? etc etc. There are many more roll eyes moments like this.
But the big thing is: 2. I don't mind a slow burn for something new. But we know what's going to happen here. yes, its a surprise to the characters but not to the viewers. Three episodes before someone says, "they are dead." Well, duh, no big moment for us. That should have been the end of the first episode not three in. I don't like any character so I'm no invested in what happens to them. Just dumb people saying and doing dumb things (Hey that neighbor of mine obviously has some horrible disease, I've seen people still come at me after having half their face blow off but I'll stand within reaching distance of one of them, see if the fence breaks or what happens if they scratch me).
Next week is what I'm waiting for: the military push into the city. But I'm sure it will suck. I have no hope for this show especially since the second society collapses, its just a WD clone with horrible characters.
