The Walking Dead losing its edge?

[wrightway]

Curious to see what some not so rabid fans think of the turn into filler-zone The Walking Dead took last night. The WD forum I'm on has been screaming ruined forever since the episode aired. I think some filler is useful to set up further plot. Thoughts?

...filler zone episode?  And now they're screaming murder?

Ironbite-they were around for the Farm right?

Apparently I must have hit the forever button because I fell asleep and was still logged in later. Hm, must remember not to do that.

On topic: Have you ever been to "Spoil The Dead"? There is a moderator there who flips her lid whenever anything positive is said about the Carol character. At all. I love the forum but it would be nice to have a discussion on the episodes outside of listening to super fans rant.

I think Walking Dead has lost its edge in a different respect for me.  Ever since it came back from the break, my roommate and I haven't bothered to watch a single episode.  We just... have better things to do at 9 at night on a Sunday.  In my case, sleep for work in the morning.

While I do still watch it, I feel a bit sad that the zombies don't seem to play as much of a role in the series now as they did before.  Then again, I can see how having a show, that is running for several seasons, that focuses mostly on the zombies, would grow stale pretty quickly.

It's based off a graphic novel where that was the point. The zombies are scenery in a zombie apocalypse. The living are your real issue. That being said, I still think they could have done a much better job last sunday.

I've not read the graphic novel, unfortunately.  If they're sticking closer to that storyline then it would make sense.
