My first impression... needs more Sleestaks. Even so, I'm still gonna give it the first season to see if they can iron out the kinks.EegahInchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055947542189758831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-52668654925385531282011-10-20T13:48:18.705-04:002011-10-20T13:48:18.705-04:00Xena, I'm getting old, I hadn't even thoug...Xena, I'm getting old, I hadn't even thought of that. Sure as can be, the episodes are available on Fox, and therefore available though my Dish Network box. So I'll be catching up on that show soon.<br /><br />Larry, thanks for the link. Like I said, TWD is hardly the height of zombie entertainment, but even so, I think the Big Hollywood guy is a little bit off on a couple of his criticisms. <br /><br />SPOILERS! I thought it was pretty clear that no guns were passed out because noise attracts zombies. You can argue that decision (and I know it gets reversed pretty quickly in the comics), but it was made immediately following a scene in which everyone survived a herd of about 150 zombies because nobody made a peep. So I'll cut them some slack there. As for Andrea being denied her privately owned gun, that choice was made by one guy, the same man who prevented her from committing suicide in the previous episode. So, politically right or wrong, he's doing it under the assumption she's going to blow her brains out, and his philosophy is that life isn't to be thrown away like that, even if the world's gone to hell.<br /><br />On the other hand, his criticisms on the scouting and lookout stuff are pints well made, but hey, people do dumb things. (And again, the comics correct this error pretty quickly.)<br /><br />The faith angle has the potential to go bad quickly, but it's too soon to tell. The show's producers are obviously religious illiterates(i.e. The Southern Baptist church the group goes into has a giant crucifix with the body of Jesus on it? Uh uh, ain't happening.), but that's not enough to make me dump the show yet. We'll see.EegahInchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055947542189758831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-64501739001566038722011-10-20T07:52:37.880-04:002011-10-20T07:52:37.880-04:00Did you read this review?
