The Walking Dead

[R-V]

What are the writers from Lost, Terriers and Rubicon up to these days? If they killed off every character (OK, maybe keep Daryl) and hired all new writers from good shows, this show could be pretty good.

Funny thing... The writer of last night's episode (plus the episode earlier this season in which Angela jumps Shane's bohunk bone) was also a staff writer on Terriers, writing two episodes (she wrote the episode in which Hank and Britt track down the cancer woman's "stolen" ring and co-wrote the second to last episode, where the guy who looks like John-Boy Walton gets killed).

So we've got writers from at least 2 excellent shows - Terriers and The Shield - and yet we still have an end product which, if we're lucky, includes 5 minutes of entertainment and 40 minutes of shitty actors delivering Entourage level dialogue. Maybe this show is just DOOMED.

DPD. Fun with T-Dog from the AV Club comments.

T-Dog is the perfect character that anyone can gravitate to because he's the empty vessel that can be filled however necessary. With every other character on this show, the better I know them, the less I like them; thus, I like T-Dog best.

Now I'm going to imagine him as this George Costanza type who finally saw an opportunity to have a cool nick name after everyone who knew him died, and decided on T-Dog.

Was T-Dog even in the house for that meeting?

When Dale said "Isn't anyone going to be speak?!" I was expecting T-Dog to launch into a stirring 3-minute monologue, starting with "Look, I know I don't say much around here, but..."

The fun thing about T-Dog is that when he is inevitably bitten and turned into a zombie, we'll have 3 or 4 four episodes of guessing whether he's actually been converted or if he's just moping around in a wordless stupor per usual. Still, I really hope he gets a catchphrase....

On the "Talking Dead" show they mentioned that the dying cow that Dale finds was originally written to be another cast member, but they don't say who. I wonder if it was supposed to be T-Dog. It's not like he's doing anything else.

(for Gil)

T-Dog is a black Observer.

There's also a writer from Rescue Me (which I've never really watched but which some people seem to like... I guess), Evan Reilly.

He wrote "Cherokee Rose" (the walker in the well, Glen and Maggie bumping uglies) and "Nebraska" (Britt from Terriers, Lori crashing Maggie's car) and co-wrote next week's episode with Glen Mazzara (showrunner, ex-Shield).

Also: the guy who wrote the screenplay for the movie Orphan.

Why are you all still watching this?

[Yeti]

Why are you all still watching this?

You're asking that question to people that continually watch the Cubs...

But, really, after the promise of last season, I believe there is a huge desire by those who watch to enjoy the show, and it is failing

Yeti scores big. It's obvious we're drawn to watch things we hate.

I think I actually like hating this show.

Though I should probably just hang my head and resign myself to the fact that this is what The Walking Dead is. It's LOST with every single character as Kate.

Holy shit, this.

No, it's worse. I'm only two-thirds of the way through episode 10, and it is unspeakably worse. I should just get in a cab and get a bracelet.

[Wheezer]

So glad they finally killed that annoying asshole.  Fuck it's about time.

Yes, now maybe something will actually get done.

No, they've got to get rid of that little shit Carl. He offers nothing except inertia. Doll-eyed, slack-jawed, smart-ass inertia. And then Frog Lips the "civil rights attorney." And Susan Powter. Fuck it, turn them all into zombies and put them back into the barn. Except T-Dog, who can be put to work growing cabbage for Glenn's postapocalyptic kimchi empire.

I did not see that coming.

So, how the fuck was bohunk infected?

So, how the fuck was bohunk infected?

Airborne zombification? I don't get it.

Either way, finally something is happening.

Remember at the end of season 1, when Jenner, the CDC guy, whispered something to Rick about the blood tests?

Could it have been that Bohunk was infected?  Hence the violent mood swings and the sudden transformation post-death?

Maybe some people are semi-resistant carriers of the virus for whom it isn't fatal and who thus only fully zombify after dying from other causes.
