It's like people don't even read. Television and Books not only differ but HAVE to. There is a reason the Harry Potter movies remove things that the readers considered pertinent. Same with Game of Thrones. Walking Dead is in an even worse situation when in comes to changing things because they're on cable. They have commercials and ratings to deal with. They have to leave you hanging. They can't have the true gruesomeness that the Comics offered. But they do their damn best to incorporate the bleak desperation. Certain stereotypes and stigmas have to be shoved down the cable tv audiences throat but they've done a great job in keeping it interesting. Rick's Wife tries to make things better with her righteous optimism while Andrea inherently brings them back into the bleak with her brutal realism. Typical female characters carried out in a smart enough fashion to make them feel unique.
