I thought that last scene in the bar in town was riveting. Rick is a bad ass.

Most people agree with me on this the story building has been going on long enough, it is no way as riveting as the first season.

They need to get off the farm and go to the federal prison. There be a lot more story lines.

If people want the show to be around for a while, I think you have to accept it as a drama just as much as an action show. It's not a military story or a 24-type television show. It's just average folks dealing with post-apocalyptic stuff. If it was the group constantly running from/shooting walkers every single episode, it would get played out pretty quickly. That said, I agree that there's some room for more action at this point.

I also agree that they need to put the farm behind them and move on. If I had to guess, the farm will end up getting overrun by walkers, and they'll all be forced to move on, Herschel included.

That last episode I thought was a perfect mix. I think if it stays like that, and goes a little more action or a little more drama the rest of the season, I'm totally down.
