I think it is still pretty good. Sunday's episode was one of my favorites so far.

I haven't watched the new season yet but after the disappointment of season 3, the series has gone better again for me and really enjoy season 4 and 5.

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.

I couldn't disagree more. TWD has had its ups and downs for sure, but I think this season has been excellent so far.

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

Walking Dead has been wildly inconsistent. I'd say season two (the farm) was the low point which I almost abandoned the series.  Sometimes I love the show and other times don't care anymore.

Odd to choose Game of Thrones right now. I love the show as based on my favorite book series, but season five was easily the worst season on the show (and the one that deviated from source material the most).

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.

The season started off pretty great so far but I can't say I;m fond of them constantly switching back and forth from character to character and then action to stupid debates, I remember when Lori was still around there was untold amounts of constant bickering and hissy fits within the group and then when she died Rick took to the mantle for that and sure enough it was nice to see him going on the edge and losing it here and there but there is only so far you can go before it ends up being repetitive and boring.

In the end it's still TWD but not entirely the same show I watched back in 2010, back then there was quite a lot of action going on but over time they toned it down to fill in character stories and new sub plots, I totally dig that and some characters are interesting to me like Rick, Merle, Daryl, Carol but at the same time I really just want to see them involved in more action scenes than those of them around a table arguing who goes out for the last can of beans or who shot who, plenty of shows fall into that pitfall where it's all talk and little to show.
