Are there any news about a new season of Curb?

Yeah, I'm not saying that a role like that will always be "boring" or anything like that. And I agree, there are better actors for those sort of roles than Pitt. But I've always really regarded Pitt as a character actor in a leading man's body; he's a really fantastic comedic actor and he does the strange, quirky…

Isn't that true for most actors? The weird characters are generally much more interesting to watch than the noble, "normal" characters.

Will Harris is becoming my favourite interviewer on this site, love this interview and love Phil Morris. He always strikes me as a man with a great passion for what he does, and didn't know his love for comics, so that's a great addition.

Yeah, but if that's the explaination, it still seems like the writers trying to dig themself out of a hole. If they go with the "everyone will become a zombie after death" explaination, that's something the writers should've known from the pilot episode, so it baffles me that they make the CDC scene go so obviously…

And as I said above, people don't usually complain about a plot moving along slowly if the characters are well written and the dialogue is sharp. Mad Men and Deadwood might be the two best examples of this. Neither of those are true for TWD (at least so far), so people want the only really good thing about this show:…

There's going to be some serious WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT issues with Carl, that's for sure. I can't see any way around it, they either have to do a "one year later" each season or kill the kid in the latter part of this season. I'm not looking forward to Rick and Lori crying for 5 episodes if that happens though.

Another problem with the Portal reference is that this show takes place in a world with no zombie fiction (according to Kirkman). But aren't there some kind of zombies (not named zombies, but still) in the Half Life universe, which Portal is a part of? And what about Left 4 Dead?

Well, seeing as the show hasn't exactly followed the comic very closely, you can't just use the comics as evidence of Dale's supposed romantic interest for Andrea.

Yeah, sure, but I have a hard time thinking of a logical explanation for all of them dying of head trauma of some sort. Did a dude go around shooting everyone in the head? Did they all hit their head for some reason? It just stinks of bad writing for me if they, after what we've seen, follow the comics on this point.

If so, that's just dumb beyond belief. How do they explain that?

Saul and Carrie coming up to the house literally seconds after Brody had left was SUCH a TV moment. Took me right out of that scene.

@avclub-70f6dcc28ef8fc282b0c969e75d9bdfc:disqus Everyone in the cars on that road this season. And didn't a bunch of people lie dead outside the CDC (been a while, might be getting that one wrong)?

The thing is, the show is badly written. The characters are, for the most part, badly written. The women are all useless (Maggie is still showing some promise, but the actress playing her has the worst southern accent this side of True Blood), and I doubt the show would've lost anything if they all got killed in the…

Well, the problem with this half of the season is that it took them way too long to get to this point.

The reviewer doesn't say that it makes Dale worse, but it makes the whole situation worse (the whole awkward relationship between them that no one cares about). No one's calling Dale an awful human being for being into Andrea, but it's not exactly something we as viewers want to watch.

I seriously doubt that the AMC execs care about the quality of the show, the audience sure don't. It's the most popular show in basic cable history and it's not becoming any less popular, so why should they fire the showrunner?

Add every woman on the show to that list and we have a plan!

That makes no sense. We've seen way too many dead people that hadn't turned into zombies (and had been dead for a while) for that to be true here.

This show isn't very consistent with the way the zombies act. Sometimes they're slow, early Resident Evil (the games) zombies, and sometimes they run fast as hell (like in the Shane/Otis scene). I'm half-expecting there to be classes of zombies, Left 4 Dead style.
