The moral dilemmas this show is never afraid to tackle. The line in the sand each character is willing to draw is right in your face reminding you that these characters probably don't like each other, have nothing in common, and are together strictly by coincidence and survival.


I don't mind moral dilemmas and methodical character development, but The Walking Dead's problem is that it too often shovels it all down our throats. Rick and the others talk about MY DECISION MY CHOICE MY MORALS I CAN'T LIVE WITH THIS HOW CAN WE DO THAT TO A HUMAN

They talk about it all the time, like a dozen times per episode. The audience gets it. Can't there be some way to write the show more subtly than to basically raise a large neon sign that says MORAL DILEMMA TIME every other scene.

Again, this might just be Breaking Bad syndrome. I caught every episode of The Walking Dead as it aired last season and loved it - the first show I was pumped for in lord knows how long. I heard about Breaking Bad and thought there was no way it could be as good. How can it be better than this amazing zombie show? Then I watched it and was all "oh that's how." The Walking Dead is still pretty damn awesome, but BB reduces it to crap. It reduces everything to crap. I'm worried a part of me will find Skyward Sword disappointing because Walter White ain't in it. >_>
