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.

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
