That's got to be my favourite tv/horror trope - the character with one eye who amazingly remains a good rifle-shot despite having no distance vision.

So what DC/Marvel comic book characters do you think the characters are (TV version).

I took that completely differently - it was part of Nick's steady transformation (descent? arguably it IS a descent, morally speaking) from good cop into a Grimm first and foremost. He's now sufficiently ruthless to trade his own wife in order to gain a powerful ally. The moronic break that tv stations insist on

There's a HUGE morality difference between Linus and Root though. Root is basically a psychopath who will do anything to get what she wants. Linus goes through 4 distinct phases in Lost, none of them evil (though they seem that way to the main group of survivors):
(1) His first stage is as a guy willing to do 'whatever

I was disappointed that the show didn't do the hilarious scene from the comics soon after the group meets her:
[Michonne does her 'kill about 10 zombies with a sword thing' while group watches with their mouths open in shock]

"But can you think of another show that managed to give its breakout
character actual depth, turning him into a figure that we root for and
empathize with?"

Dale also served to give the 2nd season a thematic arc, with him and Shane representing the opposite ends of the 'humanity v survival' spectrum. They could have made Rick's meltdown a lot more interesting this season if they had continued to approach things from that perspective - without Shane around to do the dirty

The comic arc has been out for years - way past the point of spoilers being an issue. It isn't as though I spoilt anything about the tv show, given how much the two diverge.

It's about the content/length ratio, not the straight length of the comment. On that basis, your comment is WAY too long compared to his/hers.

Sophie, Shane murdering Otis, Andrea recognising that a lot of Shane's calls have actually been correct (in making Rick more ruthless this season, the show missed a real opportunity to point out how previously Rick was only able to be 'the good guy' because with Shane doing the dirty work Rick didn't have to make the

I got the impression that it was more his near-brush with death (he mentions a few times that he was collapsed and dying when the governor found him) that motivated his change in attitude, more than the work he did once in Woodbury. An ultra-close brush with death might make someone become interested in

Precisely, and again fuck you to all those people who complained that the 2nd season had too much dialogue and not enough action (as though the action would still remain effective without the character work to give it gravitas). We could have done with some of that 'dialogue over action' mentality in fleshing out the

In fairness, she's shown bonding with the town, not just the Governor. There's nothing illogical about deciding that her loyalty is with the town, whilst deciding the town is better off without the Governor…which makes killing him a lot more complicated (both in reaching the decision, and carrying it out without the

I actually like the Governor's lack of pantovillainy. He's a threat to the prison group, but they're also a threat to them - both groups are 'us first, everyone else can go to hell' (e.g. Rick sending Tyrese + co on at gunpoint, with only Herschel objecting). Both groups are filled with mostly good (or at least

Screw the idea of Andrea 'seeing the forest for the trees' and turning against the Governor. The most interesting thing they could do with the character right now is have her decide 'there's no going back' and side with the governor, maybe backstabbing the prison group. It's not preposterous - both the governor and

There's an interesting story regarding the final season of the 7th doctor, where the stories (kitch 80s melodrama/effects aside) suddenly become decent again.

The reviewer misses a very important aspect of this Dr Who story - the context.

PS: Ryan McGee I'm not a troll. But I did have freaky sex with your mother and I do expect you to feel bad about that. I'm just posting this for the sake of all the honest, constructive criticism that comes out of these sort of comments.

You took the bickering as showing they were in love? I took it as showing why they got divorced, and given that they split up again, it would seem the writers thought the same.

I know most folks disagree with me,  but they could do BRILLIANT things with a mid-scale ability to switch on the power. It would present the characters with the show's only genuine moral dilemma: do they help turn on the power, knowing that their great-great-grandkids will be infintiely better off (by then, the US
