Another pretty lame episode, it had potential to be a good episode with the cliffhanger after the last one. This season better end well or I won't be watching the next season.

I just hope, that now all of the secrets are out in the open, that the drama doesn't completely take over this series.

Action/Sci-fi/Drama.

Right now it's like 90% drama, while season 1 had a good amount of each.

I watched this show up until the last episode. Season 1 was great but the whole season 2 was horrible and hasn't gotten any better. This show is a waste of time. I give up on it.

its definitely a drama but not the same as a normal drama
this show was and should be a more action filled drama, not a character development, story line drama

Exactly.

Just from the last episode, if you were to remove the zombie apocalypse and just have a group of people on a farm, the story would hardly be effected. Aside from the 2 encounters in the episode, if you were to show this episode to someone who has never seen the show, they would never guess that there is a zombie apocalypse going on. I do realize there are other instances where you see the zombies, and they talk about the zombies, but it seems so insignificant to the show. All the drama going on is made to be a big deal, while the zombies have almost been made into a non-issue and are pretty much no longer the focal point of the show.

Ok so....


zombie attack in store not an issue.
zombies in barn not an issue.
zombies in the suburbs not an issue.

dumb statement.

if you remove the zombies completely.....sophia would've never went missing.

there would be absolutely no drama because people would be all happy and shit with no worries.

shane and lorie wouldn't have had an affair thinking rick was dead.

pointless for me to continue....what point are you trying to make here...?

I said aside from the 2 encounters, meaning the zombies in the suburbs and the attack in the store. And even then, the zombies in the suburbs... they fuckin get attacked and escape with ease, they get back to camp and nothing was made of the zombies in the town, they just shrugged it off. Instead of anything happening due to the zombies in the suburbs, there has been more drama created over Shane having sex and now Dale and Shane are in a feud. I'm not saying that the zombies are completely not contributing to the show, i'm just saying that the zombies have been made more of a side-show to the drama.

But yeah, the store was a little significant to the story, it started more drama between Rick's wife and the Farmers daughter (can't think of their names right now), now Glen is being made to feel unappreciated by the group.

Most of these are contributions from season 1. The only thing zombies have done in season 2 from your examples is making Sophia get lost. Now we've been stuck at this farm for like 5 episodes. There has been other developments from the zombies in season 2 of course, but all they have done is created more drama for the story to follow.

I'm just awaiting for some big events or turns in the story, a lot like season 1 did. The point I'm trying to make? Season 2 has been slow, drama filled and disappointing thus far, but I will continue to watch in hopes of a big finish

Ive been fairly disappointed with season 2. It is moving alot at a snails pace. And alot of shit is too unrealistic like the Beaton of zombies? The blood is flyoimg everywhere wouldn't you be worried of contamination groin eyes, or a cut or something? And plan b weeks later? Pretty sure after first day prbabity drops fro

Yeah, plan B only works after a certain amount of time after sex. I didn't see it working, but then again she took 6 pills, so who knows what would have happened if she didn't throw them up. And you're not supposed to take them if you are pregnant :lol: She's good she threw em up.


Haha, they have a whole website about it.

PLAN B IS SIMPLE TO USE
And remember the sooner you take it the more effective it is.

plan B is two pills which you take together. If taken within 72 hours, it prevents pregnancy by doing one of three things:

Temporarily stops the release of an egg from the ovary
Prevents fertilization
Prevents a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus
plan B is not an abortion pill—if you take plan B you will not be terminating a pregnancy.

If you are already pregnant and take plan B, there’s no evidence that plan B will harm you or the fetus.
