The odd episode is fun to watch but they've killed the show for me with the pacing. When I think of a zombie show, I want some zombie action every episode. But they're focusing on people emotions and blarrgghhh, which would be fine if it wasn't so fudge damned slow |
It would help if you waited till the season was done. I've done that. I only saw season 1. I have now 2-5 waiting for me.

Well i've watched 1-5 too and am judging based on that.

Your complaint is the shows too slow. And I said you can make it faster by waiting for the season to be complete.

Not the show per se but the pacing in induvidual episodes.

This image is pretty much true. They have one big thing per most episodes but they'll stretch it out to death. The rest is filler.
Think of something like breaking bad. You could count fillers on your left hand. Everything was paced well and there weren't moments I sat back watching just because nothing was really happening, just because people were 'talking'. I get they talk for character development, about emotions and shit, but walking dead spends far too much time in it. I like character development through actions handled subtlely, not like how crazy sasha was then wasnt

Interesting. I wonder if the show would be better off if each episode was just a half hour.

I wouldn't mind that, and have season finale's as 45 mins. They should really look back at season 1 & 2 to see how episodes were paced. Also, I think we need some exciting new characters. Not ones that are brought in to die the next season. Also Carls storyline is just bore worthy, they gotta make something meaningful happen with him. In the comic he loses an eye and that changes the dynamic vastly, I think the series will benefit from something like that so we actually see the price of the apocalypse and the physical pain, not just the emotional pain.
