stephen kings The Mist / The Walking Dead.

The reason for this is Frank Darabont. Darabont was the director of the Mist and Shawshank and also was the director of TWD's first 13 episodes. Darabont is also King's go to guy when adapting his books to film. I think he also directed The Green Mile. A lot of Darabont's films have the same people in them because he, like most directors, prefer to work with actors they are comfortable with. See = Tim Burton/Johnny Depp.....Scorsese/DiCaprio

I believe the episode where Sophia walks out of the barn is his last one. He was fired. Jeffery DeMunn (Dale) didn't think too highly of that and asked for his release which he was obviously granted. I read the reason Darabont was fired was he wanted a bigger budget and AMC said no. He got pissed and made a scene.

those first seven episodes were good but I did expect better. The Sophia arc was about 3 episodes too long.

I know you don't like the flashbacks but a majority of every one does. I compare this show to LOST and the flashbacks were some of the best parts of the show. I stopped watching LOST after season 4. Unbearable.

i've never read a king novel and at the end thought "i'm glad i read that"

as far as the flashbacks go in walking dead, they're unimportant. who they were is not as important as who they are and what they're going to become

and usually i like a lot of flesh to the story, (i've read song of ice and fire twice) but these flashbacks are just casting shadows on the wall and don't mean poo unlike the things that happened prior to the occurrence of game of thrones for example which not only continue to have an effect on the story, but laid the grand foundations for the events unfolding in current times

if you watched more than 15 minutes of the first episode of lost then you got exactly what you deserved. a fitting punishment for the crime imo

the best part of lost is the shittiest thing about walking dead. fact. comparing the two shows is uneducated at best.

    • Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft
    • Very True--and I am a former HS English teacher.  
    • Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
