Something tells me it’s much cheaper to shoot season two on a deserted highway and farmhouse than it was to shoot season one mostly on city streets.<br /><br />I’m OK with the character development so far. The real problem is the plot. I agree that without hope or any clear goals, the show is simply spinning its wheels until the writers figure where to go next.<br /><br />One thing that confuses me is the flashbacks. The plot sometimes needs this in terms of setting up context but the latest flashback scene lacked authenticity. I wished the napalm scene had been shown earlier . . . and from several vantage points.<br /><br />I will continue to watch despite my skepticism.<br /><br />Even though it may shed more light on the plot, I refuse to watch the "Talking Dead" post show wrap-up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
