A Soap Opera, Only With Zombies

I watched the second season premiere of the Walking Dead.

Color me: Meh!

The pace of the show is excruciatingly slow. At one point, they are searching for a child who is lost in the woods and the search party spends about a half-hour screwing around in a churchyard. Then a part of the search party sees a deer and they spend time watching it, instead of trying to find the frelling kid who is missing.

The paternalism is a bit much, including a scene that might has well have had the menfolk saying: "You little ladies don't want to be dirtying yourself with guns, so we're not going to give them to you. Even if they were yours."

I might watch one or two more episodes, but to my mind, there are clear indications that the Tentacles of Suck are wrapping themselves around this show and dragging it down.
