Frank Darabont got booted off the show, from what I heard. But the thing is, he didn't get canned until about half of season 2 had already been filmed, so the first half of the season will be just as amazing, if not better than the first season. As far as the rest of the episodes go, the guy who is replacing Frank Darabont has mentioned that he worked with Frank through every episode on season one, and he plans on doing the best he can to keep the show the way Frank made it.
I just finished watching tonight's 90 minute premiere, it was sooooo damn great!

The hotel I was in on Sunday night did not carry AMC- Bastards! Fortunately I've got it taped and watched it tonight. Yes, it's still excellent! :cheerleader:

Spoilers! Please limit spoilers to what has been revealed in the TV show, not the graphic novel. Thanks.
I had a bad feeling about the highway traffic jam and for good reason. The zombie herd was awesome. Daryl Dixon was kick ass. Overall outstanding cast. Loved the zombies in church.
My fingers are crossed that they can keep the atmosphere and tempo of the first season going. The premier of this season maintains the standard so far.
Did anyone notice when they went to search for Sophia, they wanted to bring a group so they could fan out to look for her, but when they actually walked through the forest it was in single file? Come on.

I just read the first two episodes of the Walking Dead comic and while it's good I've found that the part of the show that covers the same part of the story is superior and produces the type of tension that does not exist in the comic.
The part about the father/son holed up in a house, his wife who had been turned and kept coming back to the house, and then him (the husband) trying to get the nerve to shoot her was emotional.
And when Rick stumbles into Atlanta, ends up within seconds of blowing his brains out, but at the last minute discovering escape, hiding in an abandoned army tank, and getting called a "dummy" over the radio, was priceless.
I realize some were not impressed with the Season 2 premier, but I liked it and am hoping it holds up the standard set for tension and story telling in Season 1.

SPOILERS IN THIS POST
I feel the show, after some consider it a shaky Season Two Premier is back on track.
Shane's actions on the drug reconnoiter was shocking, pragmatic, but from an ethical stance incredibly self serving. He got the job done, saved Carl, saved himself, but at what moral price??
And Glen got lucky!

Sorry, but total bullshit.
If Shane was going to save his ass at the expense of the fat dude, he would of taken the fat dudes request to save himself (Shane) when the fat dude gave him the opportunity to do so in the gym. You don't change your own character after you have already faced death and fear.

Actually I forgot that had happened in the gym, but you don't think there were any moral issues in that situation? If not, why did Shane lie about it when he got back? JK.

That's why it was total bullshit writing. Sorry.

What do you mean?
Post First Half of the Season critique: Nothing significant or consequential occurred after their son Carl was saved other than Glen getting laid and Lori admitting she was pregnant and amazingly Rick on the surface being ok with Shane as the possible father.... Even so, the story dragged a bit with the Sophia issue hanging over it. Not to say that in real life the Sophia issue would have ever been resolved.
But, I can see the "boring" critique. I'm into the characters and the premise so I can tolerate it, but they need to pick up the pace for the 2nd half of the season.I saw the show before I started reading the comic so I'm not bothered by the liberties they have taken from the original story.
Such as:
1. Andrea wanting to killing herself and wanting to be able to shoot a gun while in the comic she walked into the story as a marksman with no mental issues.
2. Andrea and Dale
having a sexual relationship.
3. This hesitancy of who has guns, at least initially. In the comic Rick was all for everyone getting gun training even from the start.
4. In the comics there is an episode devoted to the group wanting to settle down in a subdivision called Willshire Estates... before they discover it is infested with walkers. Shane and Andrea made a brief visit to a sub division looking for Sophia during Season 2.
5. Sophia
is still alive in the comic.

I'm with you. They need to pick it up and go where the first season did. It was relentless. The best part of the last episode was Shane going all crazy.
I guess we shall see come February the result of Frank Darabont being gone and see how it goes! Fingers crossed.
