I may be back. I loved Jericho but grew tired of it. I see the same thing happening here. It's been one zombie cliche after another. What's the purpose of surviving? Where does the show have to go?
The creator fired the entire writing staff so the second season should have a different feel.
I think they were on track at first, but it's meandering a bit for me now. I understand deviating from the way the comic was done so that the content is new for both comic fans and new fans. But they aren't spending enough time really developing the stories of the main group of characters. At this point when deaths and things happen in the future, they won't be as impactful.
The whole CDC thing is still up in the air for me and even seems a bit out of character for the Rick that I know. But we'll see. I'm just hoping that the deviations don't mean I won't get to see Michonne is the future.
@Sean-Do you know why he fired his writing staff? And who exactly is "the creator" considered to be? I don't think Robert Kirkman has the power to fire any staff since the rights were purchased from him by the channel. I could be wrong though.
@Kwan - It's also interesting to note Kirkman is one of the executive producers of the TV version, and he wrote the episode 'Vatos', so there'd better be some input in there.
--- No Room In Hell - Frank Darabont fired all of the writing staff on The Walking Dead yesterday. There's talk he might go with freelancers for the entire second season. Or maybe he'll just wing it! Like I've said the show needs work but I dunno about this path. All the shows I've loved the most have had a sturdy wheelhouse of writers on board keeping the thing in tune. This sounds like chaos. Chaos!

I have two unrelated questions for you:
ReplyDeleteWhy hasn't Smallville gone into syndication yet?
Why isn't Tron available on Netflix?
V, if I could I would.

Absolutely, love the show, sad that the first season is only 6 episodes.

ReplyDeleteSean, I think Smallville will after this season and it could be an Disney thing about Tron. I have to look into that one
