The Walking Dead: Season 2 [Blu-ray]
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Pretty dang good! I was highly impressed with the first season and dove into this head first. Its a good ride!
The actors are AMAZING. Seriously – its not a bunch of over-saturated faces who you readily recognize from every latest flick. They picked a great bunch for the series. They each portray a distinct, unique character whom you can identify with. The music and cinematography was spot on and captivating. The moral dilemmas arising – especially between two certain people – was quite a thing to watch.
The effects were still mostly good – real makeup and prosthetics. There was only 1 part with noticeable CGI.
That said – I got tired of the religious theme jumping up in my face every 5 minutes. There a few moments when I wanted to turn it off. For once – it was just plain boring – I wanted to see how the story develops and stuff, not listen to a soap box against Christians. Second, it made a point to paint several characters as believing in God and then pulled out of the blue – dues ex Machina stuff to paint them as dumb. But it made no sense. Example?
Mild Spoiler Alert –
One of the faith believing people goes and cruelly snaps a bunch of chickens legs in order feed a bag full of grown chickens to a barn full of walkers. The comment is made later how they fed them like this all the time. Look – I grew up on a farm. All they have on the Hershel farm is a small coup of chickens. If you feed the whole bag to the walkers you aren’t gonna have another whole bag of adult chickens the next day and the next day – but the story presumes the “silly” religious person feeds the walkers in this way for days on end. No. If you fed the chickens to the walkers – all you’d have left if chicks and they take more than a day to grow into chickens. Its bad writing like that – which is clearly done just to try to prove the writer’s viewpoint on religion – that REALLY turns me off. I have seen people lose children and face serious crap that never whined or blamed God like the people in this show. In fact, a good deal of the one’s I know are the one’s who are still standing while everyone else is breaking down. So really – I get that the writer’s have an evident viewpoint on religion, but not everyone shares those views or had those experiences. Some of us have had the exact opposite. So please – keep the show amazing,
