So I heard on the radio today that this season premiere set a new viewing record for cable dramas. 10.9 MILLION viewers FOR JUST THE FIRST SHOWING!
With the replays counted they said it bumped up to over 15 million viewers for the night.
As for the second season, the first half had too much filler, but man that second half was pretty epic. I feel like the mid-season finale was the start of a huge jump in quality for the season.
That epic barn scene led to the awesome Nebraska episode, 18 Miles Out episode, and of course those final 2 episodes which were fantastic.
But yeah, freaking LOVE this show and the game for that matter as well. I am actually dying for the final episode of the game to be released with the HUGE cliffhanger they left with the 4th episode...

Maybe it's because I've read the comic books and I'm aware that they substituted what happened to a character they left out of series with Hershel so I have a general idea of what's going to happen.
I feel like the last time I was genuinely interested in what they were going to do was when they were in the bar.
Also, how did the guys in suits get turned? They were hard enough to kill with weapons, I question how they were killed by walkers through that much gear. I know they'll turn if they just die, but I doubt they would have died of natural causes with those suits on.

- Oct 16, 2012 10:13 am GMTI actually find season 2 to be just as enjoyable as the first season...i have never read the comics but I do know a show that doesn't bother exploring it's main characters and just has them capping zombies left and right would get old quickly....season two for me has really helped reinforce the hopelessness of the whole situation...I've got 4 more epis to watch in season 2 but it has not been a disappointing for me at all...and while breaking bad is good...i don't find it nearly as gripping....can't get into the characters at all...

They kind of did show some character progression with Carl in the second season. I remember seeing him mature some. He shot zombie Shane in the head at the end of S2.

Carl was a little too much of a bad-a** during the premier. But whatever. Maybe he'll get eaten to make up for it this Sunday.
