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.

    • I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...
    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
