At first I was thinking the show was going to be better, but 7 episodes of searching for Sophia proved the comics were better.

OH GOD LEAVE THE FARM LEAVE THE FARM LEAVE THE FARM LEAVE THE FARM

They have managed to make a zombie show into a particularly boring episode of Little House on the Pairie.

I'm surprised that Rick hasn't gone back for Morgan and his son yet... I feel like that may be coming soon. I think soon they are going to venture out and hopefully head to the prison next. I really liked the prison. Lot's of interesting things happened there.

Aren't the two so far diverged by now that we should really consider them separate stories?

I wouldn't say so, not yet anyway. They are so far following the same plot for the most part as the comic. Yeah of course there are differences, but I guess it keeps me interested. That whole Sophia thing was dragging on for way too long though.

I don't know how to read.

Therefore, I have not read any of the comic.

Hence, show > comic.

I am sorry Jeebus. You should look at the artwork of the comic, it is well drawn.
I hope someday you learn how to read, it is a great skill to have.

Thank you. I appreciate your concern and candor, and I will take your advice into consideration. Upon further reflection, I have decided to embark on the path of literacy. One day, I too will learn to read, and upon such day I hope to experience the joy of this comic.

Until then, boob tube for me.

I don't know if it's even really the same plot anymore. So many characters have been allowed to live, it's arguable that this "version", character-wise is now so different that it's not the same. Yes, they're following kind of the general flow for now but they've said that continuity with the novels is not important.

Godspeed friend!

I suppose you have a very valid point.. It's almost like an alternate universe in a way.

That's pretty nuts, what do you think of that?? Is that a good cast?? The Governor is a real bastard, can this guy really be that??

Another British actor, so I haven't seen him in much. I remember him on Doctor Who, and he played a really nice guy. Total opposite of the Governor.

Seriously, I drug myself through the first season because it was only 6 episodes. I damn near stopped watching the season 2 premiere. I drug myself through the first half and so far the second half is just terrible. It's not a great show, technically speaking.

But, it is on AMC so it has legs. But seriously, you've only got two, three more seasons tops. And if they're all going to be 12 episode seasons, that only gives you about 40 more episodes from right now. Time to start moving some plot along.

If the show were to suddenly follow the comic books, it would be on the air for the next 132 years at the rate the show moves.

The farm was only two episodes in the comics. Hershel patches up Carl who wasn't as badly injured. The next day the zombies get out of the barn when Hershel is trying to put another zombie in. He loses two kids, and Ricks group kills all the zombies. Hershel kicks them out; they move on.

Season 3 is going to be 16 episodes.

Even though the comic is on two issues on the farm, it spans several weeks in the timeline.

So I just finished reading 1-12 of the comic. I have to say...

The show is superior in almost every way.

It has pacing issues. But the comics are rushed through too fast.

You know, I actually agree with that, minus the show being better than the comic... The show is finally moving along nicely, and I loved the way Shane died...twice.. IMO it was well done..
