Kind of nit-picky but some valid points.
Although the grenade launchers are from the soldiers.
Wow! Now that was incredibly insightful. With all those errors, how the ****does the Walking Dead stay so popular?

Let alone being an absolutely terrible show? :) I have given up with seeing eye to eye with the general viewing public.
Somehow, in a series involving the dead comming back to life and becoming flesh eating zombies, they really should make it more scientifically factual. :P

You really shouldn't be forced to associate with people with such low standards, anyway. You are being forced, right?

This past season was quite mediocre. There were some elements of the Walking Dead that could have given a boost to
it's narrative. I don't feel I was in-to-it this season. Definitely feel cheated. :P

we will just have to agree to disagree on the walking dead. i enjoy the zombies, but i think this show was set up to fail and it is a smash hit. just not my forte. i didnt get into lost either. i saw 3 episodes where they were debating about opening a door. just open the *&$(*)$# door! haha.
but we can still be friends. :)
Ummmmmmmmmm..............I LOVE the show!! I may be simply an unsophisticated putz, but I hate most of what passes for entertainment on TV these days except for TWD. Appointment TV for Nancy and I.

I'm fine with disagreeing. (Notice how I don't have a problem with the people who do.) It's people
slumming in a thread just to feel superior to the dolts who post there.
Am I slumming in a thread? I hold no judgements over people on this board. I enjoy the friendly atmosphere immensely. A welcome change from other boards I participate in. I suppose I can keep my opinions about a show that a thread is dedicated to all to myself. At the end of the day, we are all fans of monsters and a friend of monsters is a friend of mine.

You clearly think the show is for idiots, so what does that make the people who like it?
Fortunately, I embrace my idiocy. It's a warm blanket against the chill winds of sophistication.
Haha, ok. I am obviously in the minority. At some point, after thinking the whole world was crazy, I would come to the conclusion that I am crazy. I don't think you are an idiot for enjoying a show. I think it may be idiotic that we are arguing about you liking it. I apologize if I offended you with my criticism.

Being condescended to from high atop lofty Mount Haughty is another thing altogether though, n'est-ce pas? ;)
I watch it. I like it. But, it isn't Masterpiece Theater. It's a zombie apocalypse action/drama. Yeah, sometimes, stuff doesn't make sense. Just roll with it and hope for lots of cool gore effects. Frankly, since they tossed Frank Darabont off, it hasn't been as good as season one. It's still better than reality shows like "Real Housewives" and "Honey Effin' Boo Boo."

Actually wouldn't "Honey boo Boo" also be considered a horror series?

As horrific as the people in it are, it's technically a ... well, a comedy, I guess. Their antics are supposedly funny and down-to-earth. The one time I watched, I just felt slimy afterwards.

And, in retrospect, my apologies to everyone for my overreaction(s). Now, back to zombies!
What do you mean it's not a masterpiece? Shhesh!
I think it's a masterpiece. I love the show.
I have gotten into the show, I like it!! I watched the week-long showing of the entire series. It's not perfect, and yes, there are some things that don't make sense but that is with any series. As far as the grenade launcher goes, the Gov and his people did slaughter a bunch of soldiers, so getting their hands on grenade launchers is not a stretch, as well as having quite a bit of ammo, I was looking for flame throwers myself. And I think I have the answer for the short grass--it's got to be the zombies. They need veggies to keep themselves regular, and grass is abundant. ;)
This is one of the few shows I look forward to each week. I never miss an episode.

Wasn't nuts about the finale , but fully intend to enjoy the upcoming 4th season. Compare this to any show on major network TV and if i were them, i'd be VERY embarrassed.
