I don't see Daryl and Carol having a sexual relationship, its just wrong haha. I think they are just two people who respect each other and were heavily impacted by Sophia's death.

I always thought there was far more chemistry between Daryl and Andrea to be honest but they seemed to drop that for the Shane relationship. Maybe they'll revisit it next season. The loss of Dale should maybe snap Andrea out of it.
That link by division by zero was funny and may hold a lot of truth. It does seem like AMC are treating their most successful show in the worst way in terms asking for more episodes on a tighter budget. They seem to treat their other shows with far more respect and it sometimes feels a bit like, deep down, they are embarassed about doing a genre show but happy to milk it until viewers come to their senses.
That said I don't know how much the actors are getting or whether they got a raise, The fact next season's new addition is british suggests they are going for quality that's cheaper than the equivalent US actor. Then again the Brits tend to be better value for the most part.

To be fair, they did double the episode order at the same time that they cut back on the per-episode budget. The show might have been too expensive if they'd kept Season One's per-episode budgeting for a 13-episode season.

Exactly but usually it's fair to say that quality comes with cost too (especially in shows where make-up SFX are important). To double the episode order and cut back on per episode budget means there's a strong possibility the show will be half as good. It doesn't fully excuse sloppy writing but maybe as mentioned previously they'd usually correct those bad scenes but can't becasue of time/cost constraints.

You really don't see the sexual tension between those two? lol I think they'd be good to each other - though not exactly nice...

I thought that might have something to do with the sets and the amount of zombies introduced - I mean, in season one we had the suburbs, the city, the CDC. This season we only had the farm and small parts of small towns.

I've noticed Carol seeming interested in Daryl, but I hope it doesn't happen. Carol looks like a 50 year old cancer patient, and has enough baggage without trying to work through Daryl's stand-offish behavior. And Daryl is a good fighter, but he belongs on Maury or something with his racist drug addict brother and his abusive father. Not to mention making a zombie ear necklace. Seeing those two kiss would just be weird.

[Memory Lane]

I see Carol as being more of a "motherly" figure to Darryl, who seems to have been raised by assholes. At least, that's the vibe I got when he was searching for Sophia.

[Sound_of_winter]

I feel like Carol may be sexually  attracted to Daryl, but I don't think its the same for him. I am not a Carol fan, or any of the females in Rick's group

On Daryl and Andrea, I had initially thought that too, but then they seemed to change things up a little, but I'm okay with the D n' C option.

I agree. It's so gross that nothing else would fit a zombie show this perfectly.

[Howdyphillip]

Carol is one of the hottest women on the planet... Since zombies ate the vast majority of people. What do you expect Daryl to do? His choices are to hook up with Carol, stay alone, or wait for Rick to get a head cold and then nail Lori.

[Sonic The Hedgehog]

Well that certainly puts Daryl's eagerness to find Sophia into a creepy new light...

Well there is Beth...

[Alia of the knife]

I firmly believe that the death of Carls betrothed, (Sophia), is what put him over the edge.

Robert anybody?

(sorry, I couldn't help it).

Ok... I just finished reading the first 2 volumes of the GN books.  WOW!! It really is a great comic - such simple reading yet it totally draws you in til you can't put the book down.

There are definitely a lot of differences but overall I think the show has done a pretty decent job. It kind of seems like some of the characters' personalities in the comics were melded together for the show.

Now I just wish I had the money to buy the rest of the books....darn it.
