Episode one was so bad, I'm not going to watch anything else until someone can convince me. I reported a few pages ago. Terrible.

Thought about it because Nasim Pedrad is so sexy, but the reviews have been brutal.

Second is supposedly better, but still not great.

The Walking Dead-
[SHOW]
I don't have too much to add to what's already been said. That was a great episode, a hell of a way to start the season. I've kind of reached a point where I damn near hate-watch the show but more episodes like this week's would erase all of that. The stupid convenient pauses before they were going to off Glenn were annoying, but that's minor. And the same goes for the dopey convenient way that none of the gang got slaughtered. Rick, Glenn, Bob all survived.
Boardwalk-
[SHOW]
I like the accelerated pace. The last season and a half or so have felt really dull to me and the show has won me back this season. And that's in spite of the fact that they skipped over a ton of stuff that I really wanted to see- the Crash, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, more of Capone in power. The cameos they've had this season have been fun (Joe Kennedy was rad, and that Paul Muni/George Raft scene was spectacular). I'm even digging the flashbacks. The kid they got to play the 20ish year old Nucky looks so much like Buscemi. It's eerie. He even has the mannerisms down.

I think that someone made the point that if the guy with the bat was left-handed the four main characters would have been killed. Is it wrong that I was secretly hoping Glenn would have been killed?

Also, it seems that Rick is the only one who learned anything from the Governor incident. Rick wants to go back and kill the rest of Terminus while they are weak, because if they don't, then Terminus will hunt Rick's group down and kill them. I kinda like this Rick.

I hate all three of the people headed to DC. They seem like they were specifically drawn up to look motley. Orange haired muscle guy, portly mulleted slightly autistic dude, and hot chick.

Mullet man's explanation of his cure was not good enough. Though it seemed to me the show at least made him come off a little more believable as an egghead. I'm not sure I understand where they think they're going.

This Rick is [expletive] rad. I have hated that character for various reasons since day one, but this guy is great.

There isn't enough character development for me to be annoyed with them yet. They're just in the background to me.

My wife who is a big fan of the comics was excited to see them show up...but that's all I know.
