The drama and drawn out scenes were a little overboard IMO. the direction they're going it is leading further and further away from the comics and I am fine with that.

I wonder how the tone of the show will change now that they're all safe and locked up in that huge compound.

Probably a lot of bottled-up emotions and pointing fingers and people going crazy.

I think I'll start reading the comics once this season is over.

I hadn't thought about this before, but how are they going to deal with the kid playing Carl growing up?

I thought about that when I saw the first episode. They're gonna have a Walt situation on their hands pretty soon.

And by tone of the show, I was thinking more along the lines of like when they found the hatch on Lost. Soon after that it stopped being "we tryin' to survive on dis desert island 'n shit" and became "Dharma mysteries and time travel!"

I'm wondering if we'll eventually look back on the first 5 episodes and think "psh, you guys didn't know anything." And if the overall plot of the show will become more about struggling to find a cure rather than struggling to not get eaten. It's like everybody just leveled up, same as on Lost post-hatch. Food/shelter/not getting nommed aren't their main concerns anymore, there will be a different set of obstacles from now on.

Shit he's 11 playing an 8 year old. I haven't seen the latest episode but it sounds like they skipped a bit of the comic so maybe they'll skip around enough filler where he doesn't age too fast irl in relation to the story.

He will go upstairs in one episode and never be seen again much like seven in Married with Children.

And lets not forget the older brother on Happy Days (though I think the rumor is he died in Vietnam.)

So they fired the writing staff for season 1. I admit I don't watch the show, but I thought yall might want to know.

well according to the article on IGN Robert Kirkman wrote two eps (not part of the writing staff) and Frank Darabont co-wrote/re-wrote all of the other eps so i don't think it will be that big of a deal.
