I don't feel any sexual chemistry on this show, between any of them. I didn't even feel it with the Lori/Shane/Rick triangle. Or Andrea and the Gov'r. Or Glenn and Maggie, actually, The Gov'r and Glenn turn me off. Ick.

Plenty of other shows get good sexy chemistry going but this one does not IMHO. I like the adventure of it, the edge-of-your seat of it, the angst.

+1, all feels very forced.

Glenn to me is too nerdy. The Gov was creepy. Carol was, to my sensibilities, not attractive. Shane was a jerk. All turn offs.

Daryl is a turn on but they need to get the right person for some sparks to fly. I hope they choose correctly!

Does anyone else think Daryl and Michonne should hook up?

I do! Hottt.

Ha!

I don't think Glenn is nerdy! He became pretty badass in season 3.
Shane was a jerk towards the end, but that cockiness and leadership? Hot.
When the gov wasn't psychotic, he had his sexy moments...

....I'm doomed to die in the zombie apocalypse. Will be checking out a hot guy while a zombie gets me from behind.

Bates is a valet, not head Butler. That's Carson.

They never showed Carol committing the murders; we heard/saw Rick's version of what he thinks happened.

As for Judith, maybe she is alive. I just don't think she is - in the comics, they are on the road for while after the prisons and despite the fact the show is not following the comics completely, they are following the overarching story line. In the novels, she and Lorie were both shot running from the prison during the final fight with the Governor. It will be every hard keep Judith alive on the road and I think what they showed at the prison was the kindest way for them to deal with it.

I don't think Judith is dead. I think actually keeping her alive makes for a lot of good new challenges, and that is what the show needs.

There are things in the comics that they encounter on the road that I think the show will definitely water down. It's too dark for television, even cable. Remember, the show didn't include the stuff about what the one prison inmate did to some surviving girls. It think the Governor was also watered down in the show, versus the comic.

I think Judith dying in the comic wasn't because it would be hard to depict her on the road. It was part of the darkness of the comic. I suspect Judith will still be alive in the show.

Honestly, for the most part, I watch the show because there are a few characters I like. But I don't think it's written well. And I don't think it explores the darkness of humanity to the degree the comic does. And it's that darkness and depravity that really drives the story line in the comics. So because the tv series is supposed to appeal to a broader range of people, I think they purposely don't go as far as they do in the comics, and in the absence of that, they need other scares and possible story lines (like the flu thing). I think the "keeping the baby alive on the road" theme will serve that purpose.

Even the murders in the prison weren't as gruesome. They were more like an effort to keep the flu from spreading. In the comic, there are murders in the prison that aren't about preventing the spread of flu; they are pretty sick and twisted.

I think the writers are struggling to find content that has broad appeal, that is kind of dark but still palatable for the masses. I think the flu story line was an attempt at that, but it failed miserably as far as good story-writing goes. And frankly, even the resolution was just a little too easy. A true flu outbreak, even during a non-apocalypse, isn't resolved that quickly or easily with random, vague medications.

Can't the writers just admit that a cure can be found
Then they will be rescued, secret nsa survailance will show that Rick killed his friend and is sent to prison

I agree that there doesn't seem to be chemistry with anyone. The flirting with Daryl and Carol was the best Walking Dead has managed. Of course the Gov'r was sexy as hell (I know no one else agrees)

I think people need to stop comparing the show to the comics. They're different. Done.
