9) No Zombies?
So I guess I’ll be a little positive after being such a downer, because season 3 took care of my next complaint, but I still have to raise it just because of historical reasons.
I mentioned before that The Walking Dead show felt like a drama taking place during the apocalypse, and that’s majorly because entire episodes would go by with only one or two walkers seen in the background. Again, not to harp on a single season, but how can we NOT look to the farm for this. Am I correct in saying there were one or two episodes where we didn’t see a SINGLE zombie? I tend not to vividly remember because, well, there wasn’t much worth remembering in season 2, but one aspect I couldn’t understand was the lack of “walkers” in a show called The Walking Dead.
Season 1 did a decent job of peppering in the undead, even though we lost time when our survivors took refuge in the CDC – but that was understandable. What wasn’t understandable was how we survived most of season 2, from stumbling upon the farm all the way to the finale where there finally was an attack, with minimal zombie action. Otis and Shane’s wild ride was one episode, and Shane and Rick’s tussle was another – but what else?
