WTF?
Just started watching season 1. Michael Rooker cut off his hand instead of the rusted out bracket?

I was trying to watch episode one, season 2, on a flight entertainment system. Midway through it, I was trying to decide if I should give the reigning ” show/movie in which people do extremely stupid shits for no particular reasons other than to insult the audience's intelligence” award from Prometheus to the show.

I had to turn it off, couldn't stand it after they went looking for the stupid kid that got lost in the river.

It was so bad, I wanted to jump out the plane's window; fortunately, I remember that I don't know how to fly, or have a parachute on me. It was that close. Phheeewwwwwwww...

The saw was too worn out and wouldn't have cut through the bracket. They touched on this earlier when they considered trying to saw through the rebar in the sewer.

There was a ton of rebar though.

Anyone seen this preview for Season 3 (or part 2 of Season 2 for those of us who want our monies worth from Season 2 after the rediculous padding)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPlyD5PSGU0

SH!T is going down. At last.

Wonder if Carl will go wondering on his own around the prison, maybe find himself locked in a cell with some zombie who rips him apart whilst lori can do nothing but watch.

Merle back? Hmmmmm

I'm looking forward to the show coming back on, but I've now been spoiled by the comics.

Last season did suck in a lot of way yet I still enjoyed the show. It's still better than most anything else on TV.

...

Did anyone pick up on this -

They run out of gas and stop in the middle of nowhere. hoard threat imminent, no supplies, low ammo, several group members lost, remaining group fighting (mainly women stirring sh!t), people are tired, dirty, unwashed, hungry. Rick scouts an area to stop, first words out of Carl's mouth "i'm COLD"...
I noticed the rock work on the water feature, the fire hydrant and the power lines. All something you would find in a residential neighborhood. Just out of the camera shot were the houses they could have stayed in.

If you guys have ever read the comic (or did the wiki for the plot of the comic) then you know what should most likely happen while they are in the jail. I can't see them deviating too much from the plot. Although...Shane originally died in what was Season 1 in the comic, but I think they kept him around for drama all the way up until the very end of Season 2.

No comic book spoilers in the TV show thread, please.

Given what we've seen so far in the TV series, there's no guarantee of them following the comic plot at all. It has varied wildly from that.

Also, why are you guys complaining about spoilers for stuff that has already aired?

Probably, he's been spotted on the set and it sounds like it's more than just for flashbacks
