i haven't been posting much lately, and the one that i did post about collecting, i changed back to draft since i wanted to add a little more to it...however, the walking dead is back on tv, so i can at least post about that...also, i forgot about all the starred articles that i had saved in google reader, so you'll see some posts about those...back to the season premiere of the walking dead...

overall, i liked it...more happened in that one episode than most of last season...now they are used to killing zombies and not as easily frightened...carl is trusted enough to be allowed to clear out rooms by himself...t-dog is still just used as labor and not much else...why does he still only have a fireplace poker as a weapon...he should be using something like this...under 30 bucks on amazon...everyone seemed to have a decent weapon except him, which makes me think that he will get killed off...SPOILER...maybe merle will get his revenge...

i was interested in seeing how they would make it through winter, but i guess that would have been too difficult to shoot...something must have happened since rick can't stand being with lori...now that shane is gone, daryl is rick's right hand man...it'll be interesting when merle shows up to see how that affects daryl...it was pretty predictable that the zombie was still "alive" because of the way it was shot...in the comic, it's dale who is bit in the prison instead of hershel and has to have his leg amputated...i guess hershel is going to play that role now...michonne and andrea are friends, which is different from the comic, and they survived winter together...michonne has her two chained zombies but didn't explain why yet...a pretty good start to the season...it did seem like they increased the gore level...i understand that there is a horror element to it, but too much gore makes it look cheesy in my opinion...you also lose some of the suspense since they are now more apt to fight than hide...last season was a bit of a let down after a pretty good first episode, so i hope they find a good balance between action, moving the story along, developing the characters, and not losing the human aspect of the show this season
