I think the hospital crew is interesting. Beth is an uninteresting, kind of irritating character (like the one sniper started out as). Sgt Slaughter and the "scientist" are such cartoonish characters they're just painful to watch. That's been the real shortcoming of the last two episodes.

Can't believe how quick they revealed the scientist was a fraud. He sabotages the bus, then does the reveal all in one episode. That's what I mean by liking the pace - maybe just a low bar because of they're past tendency to draw out trivial BS for weeks.

It's still a good show; yeah it's not as great as it first was when it was a cult-classic and the masses didn't know about it... But now that it's reached such a mainstream hype, the cool thing to do now is talk about how awful the show is now or how not entertaining it is anymore.

When in reality, it's probably somewhere in the middle. Yeah it's not on the level it was with the 1st season, the farm season, or the town/Governor season... but it's still a pretty damn good show, it's still one of the better/best shows on television, and it's still entertaining.

People just need to stop whining.

It's not like they don't already have the material from the comics to base it off of, so there is progress and an endgame. I think it could remain solid until the end like Breaking Bad and not veer off like Lost.

It's hard to do, because I know the potential is there and how great it was for 3 seasons. I'll probably stick this season out and make a call from there whether I continue to watch.

The bull shit part is that they built up our expectations so high this season; talking about how they were going back to their roots, it was going to be so much more intense, etc. Well, the last 3 episodes have been so far from the shows roots and non-intense that it makes the entire thing more disappointing.

Next week's episode doesn't look too much more promising.
