Shane (Jon Bernthal) or Rick (Andrew Lincoln) on The Walking Dead?

I would just like to take this opportunity to admit that I now actively hate about 90% of this show every week, and think it's just terrible, terrible, terrible. Awful and plodding and thuddingly obvious at every turn. I keep watching because of the zombie make-up and the gore which is incredible, but it's getting to the point where I might start fast-forwarding through everything else. And for the record I don't much find either Shane or Rick hot anymore, as I want to smash in their annoying faces with the largest rock handy every single time they speak. AHHH. It felt good getting that off my chest.

I have to agree about this show. It had a promising start but then the plot became very ho-hum. Couldn't believe it got renewed for a second season.
Agreed. Somebody decided zombies meant expensive and replaced it with droning melodrama about pregnancy tests and missing children.
That having been said, I'd hit Shane so hard I'd chip a tooth in the process.
The show has a really weird view on women vs men, that is it´s biggest problem for me...I mean women cook and do laundry and when they finlly get to use a weapon they naturally screw it up. Who the hell sponsors this show anyway, some right wing womenhaters?
i agree on their gender politics. i complained about this in the very first episode and people were like "awww, come on. you're projecting onto it." but now i feel vindicated. it's horribly retro in its gender politics and also totally unrealistic in terms of how rigid people behave once an apocalypse hits. just a theory but if the entire societal order breaks down, would people really still have all the same hang ups... i think everything else would take a backseat to survival.
and. yeah it's boring. I dumped it from the dvr a couple of episodes ago.
Totally agreed on the show's 50's style gender politics. Never the less, I'm fascinated by this show as an experiment in how long you can have NOTHING INTERESTING WHATSOEVER - hell, nothing PERIOD - happen on a show and still get people to watch. I keep waiting for them to devote an entire episode to the kindly old doctor sitting on his porch drinking a glass of lemonade. It's coming, I swear it is...
Also, I'd take Glenn over Shane or Rick.
I didn't want to water down my rant so I didn't mention Glenn, who is part of the 10% of the show I like. I like him and Maggie, they have nice chemistry.
It's so weird because the comics make a lot of stuff work, that the show is just bungling horribly, specifically the sexual dynamics which are really really complicated there and just flattened out with flat writing and flat direction and flat acting on the show.
I need to pick up the books again, I haven't read anymore since the awesome prison storyline ended.
I used to love the show in the beginning, then it was went off the rails. Now, they are whining the entire season about a lost girl. SHE'S DEAD!
I only root for Glenn and Darryl. That's it. Everybody is so boring. Rick is wrong. He is bland. he is supposed to be the anchor of the show. I don't care about him at all.
I get so fucking angry every time Darryl revs that fucking motorcycle of his that I can't even deal with him. Why the fuck has no one told him, hey, your fucking loud motorcycle is going to draw a billion braindead cannibals to us with its fucking roaring engines, maybe you should get something a little bit quieter than that ridiculous noise machine to drive? UGH.
God I love Rick!
