The Walking Dead is staring at the pages of its comic book in the rear view mirror. They sailed off that map in season 2.
I was talking about things like the
story (isolated from civilisation)
structure (venture out into the wild, fight, learn something, return to camp for a musical montage) and the
characters (crazy leader, noble boobs female, badass hunter, perpetual outsider). The TWD thread is full of jokes about how similar the shows are.
I didn't mean anything about the quality or how much you like them. IMO TWD is Lost Junior Varsity, a popcorn show to capitalize on the survivor genre now that the original is gone. I'd actually prefer that TWD stop trying to be profound and stick to hero vs monsters cartoon violence.
