You mean back in the day when everybody was upset kids were watching Wile E Coyote chase the Roadrunner and fail epically and violently

I was amazed at how brutal the episode was. I don't disagree with the story line so much as how they went a bit too far with the graphic gory detail. Yes I'll still watch it and I think they reinvigorated the show at least for me but I'll bet they lost some viewers. Sometimes it's ok to leave a bit to the imagination.

..ummm....what did you guys expect?
It's a show that takes place during a zombie apocalypse, where society has completely broken down allowing some of the characters to be violent without impunity... The comics are very graphic, so the show should be too.... I don't understand the surprise at the violence, or that certain characters were killed...It's what all this is about. But I do understand if the show's premise is just too depressing....if it becomes like watching 'The Road' every week, then people will peace out. 'The Road', btw is the bleakest movie of all time and is a must see! |

The demise of the beloved character was foretold years ago in the comics by TWD's 100th issue. Friends tell me that the show's depiction was pretty faithful to what was depicted in the comic.
Friends also tell me that if the show follows the plot line of the comics, then this season will be much more "active" compared to other seasons. Read into that what you may......

Well actually The Wild Wild West was cancelled in the late 60's due to violence. There was an infamous fight scene that lasted for a good portion of one show with an Elvis Memphis Mafia member named Red West.
