Walking Dead Season 2 Premiere: My thoughts

OK, so this has spoilers. You’re warned. Go away if you don’t want to read them, but come back later if you do… ha ha.

First, I was really excited to watch it on the premiere night. I’m a big DVR person and I would probably have waited untilt his weekend to watch, but I wanted to be "in the discussion"… and then I am not sure if anyone is discussing it. lol. I’ll probably post a thing on my website too.

Second, last season I did a lot of critical viewing of the show and it made me mad because of some really blatantly weird things that happened. I vowed to be less of that and enjoy it more, but I can’t help but pick SOME things apart.

And finally: My thoughts.

FIRST… I thought the opening was a teensy bit confusing because I had to remember who he was talking to. Then I remembered the guy with the son he was with in the beginning, but they could have done better reintroducing that since it’s been a freaking YEAR.

Second, when they all broke down and the one chick (I’m terrible with names, ok) was like "this is a grave yard, i don’t like this" or whatever, I wanted to pop her over the head. All that abandoned stuff and you just want to leave it there? I think she got over it, but jeesh. And how she scolded that woman for looking at clothes, oh shut up, let the crazy short haired woman have  a moment (even though later, I wish she had just gotten eaten.) lol.

So then, when the zombie mob comes by, that part was awesome and aggravating all at once! I think the tension and their method of getting under the cars and being still was epic. i loved that!

HOWEVER, what the hell!!?!! They had NO PLAN of action for a situation like that and everyone was just expected to fend for themselves. Like the black guy who got his arm ripped open, I mean HONESTLY, what the hell? I did like how the country boy saved his life, that was sorta cool, but HONESTLY, that made me cringe with ugh. I mean, they didn’t see them coming until they were right on top of them  and everyone was so scattered that some people didn’t even know they were there? Insanity!

And then that stupid little girl moving too quickly was just the last straw. Sure,  it prompted the following story, but JIMINY, don’t you think you’d have told the kids something like "when we are near zombies you don’t MOVE until you are given the signal" or SOMETHING?!

Bah, I hope she gets eaten, little brat.

I’m terrible.

And then the blonde chick who just "wants to die" is stupid and should just have let the zombie in the bathroom eat her face then. lol. I mean, she was SAFE and had to keep fiddling with a gun she had no idea how to put together. What an ultra maroon. Also, she could have paid a little bit more attention to her surroundings and then slowly closed the damn motorhome DOOR and not even been in that situation. Idiot!!!! I also don’t know why the guy on the roof wouldn’t have just, I dunno alled down through the bathroom to get her to freakin close the door or SOMETHING. That whole scene made me frustrated. ha ha!

All I know is how I would have done it differently. ANY group of survivors with ME would have clear instructions on what to do in MOST zombie encounters. Signals, tactics, and codes would be in place for EVERYONE. And we most certainly wouldn’t be scavenging through a bunch of cars all willy nilly. It would be a controlled organized effort… And there would never have been a moment without someone on look out. And there would NEVER be a chance for a little boy to put his life in danger by going into a car with a dead body. No! I don’t care how he wants to "be a man" he’s a damn kid and needs to be protected. Go sort cans kid, leave the car searches to adults with WEAPONS and common damn sense. I’m glad that thing was still dead. What a mess.

I really enjoyed the episode though. The things that drove me crazy were NOT as bad as the first season (which was just crazy stuff, like they had an armor system to beat up the zombies and then took it off and never used it again… WHY?! And the whole "He’s in the hospital with the door closed and a gurny in front of it and one bag of iv fluids and he survives who knows how long like that… i didn’t buy that for a second, amongst other things like how they could just be camping out in the woods with no perimeter and survive for so long til the end when the zombies finally found them, blah! I’m reall picky on that stuff.)…

So I’m hoping the writing has just improved over the time. I am digging this new season, even though the end of the first episode has my head spinning. What the hell!!!! And don’t get me wrong, I loved the first season too! It’s just a love hate because I’m an enthusiast and a writer and I think I could create a compelling awesome series too!

Anyway, I’m looking forward to every sunday night now. I think it’s going to be an amazing ride 🙂
