first season was good, but season two is awful

Only hipsters would think season one is better. It's a glorified six hour pilot episode. All the character and plot development happens in season two. So basically everything happens in season two.
Pretty much sums it up.
Overall it's just a build up to season 2.

I'm pretty sure there was character and plot development in season 1... As in any television/comic/book/movie/game series, the characters evolve as the story progresses and conflicts are resolved. If they don't the writers are doing it wrong. Aside from that, it's silly to even comment on one season being better than another with a show that tells a continuous story...

Enjoying season 2 =/= Season 1 sucked

Season one certainly wasn't bad, but season two was so good that it "sucked in comparison". If season one wasn't good I wouldn't have bothered with season two anyway, same with most of the people who watch the show.

It was a glorified 6 hour pilot, but it was good. There was some character development but little of it had a satisfying conclusion. Like all these little arcs were left open, like how a pilot episode introduces arcs for the rest of a season. Really, season one in comparison is just there to introduce characters and thin out the herd, eliminating unimportant and static characters. Regardless of all this, season one is still good, it just can't compete with season two.

There was definitely a disproportionate amount of exposition between the two seasons, mostly as a result of season 2 having double the time to work with. I'm having a hard time following the whole "just there to introduce characters and thin out the herd" bit though... There were just as many characters introduced in season two and just as many character deaths. With the type of show this is, it's going to happen that way every season. Not everyone can survive forever... Speaking of "unimportant and static characters"...T-Dog anyone? I think he literally had 5 lines in the whole second half of the season...

The only major new characters introduced in season two was Hershel and Maggie. The rest were pretty useless or died quickly.

In the first season there was Carol's husband, that black chick, Andrea's sister, and that guy who got bit (I forget his name, I wanna say it starts with a J).

And yeah, no one likes T-Dog. They "started" an arc with him in the first episode of season two (the whole "we're not important" bit he said to Dale) but that wrapped up literally the next episode and he was background fodder for the rest of the season. He literally went episodes without a single line and he had like maybe 5 lines in the finale. People are just wanting him to die since he's completely useless. Every other member of the group was really quite interesting, except for T-Dog.

If you blinked you would miss T-Dog. Honestly, we probably saw him more in the last episode than we did the entire season.

I read an interview with Glen Mazzara about T-Dog having an awesome scene in Season 3, so I guess he'll be useful next season. He also said Lori won't be any less irritating and they're not going to sugarcoat her with fake storylines.

Spoiler'd for those who find those things... spoiley.

Season 3 trailer. Rick says they've "spilled blood" for the prison so someone probably dies.



Meryl is back baby!

Unfortunately for me and anyone who has read the comic, we know of a major spoiler about a character, that is ofcourse assuming they keep to the comics with that but from the trailer (Saw it yesterday), they seem to be keeping with the comics.

So? Season 1 is still really good and one of the best opening to a series ever.

I've actually gotten bored with this show. I don't know, but the more they dragged it out on Hershel's farm, the less I cared for the show.

Haven't watched the new trailer yet, what is the spoiler in regards to? I'm current with the comics.

It appears to follow the comics very closely by what was shown in the trailer and therefore, I'm guessing leading to the death of Lori.

To date, this hasn't been a problem. I mean, look at Shane and how completely different that story turned out.

I was REALLY hoping the series would become a "what if Shane lived" type thing.
