We're a few short days from the finale and I've got to say a few angry, swear-filled things about this season.
I'll keep it spoiler-free, but please presume spoilers will be in subsequent comments.

The Walking Dead sucks now. It pains me to say it, you don't even know how much. The husband and I were both SO stoked when we heard that Darabont was doing TWD, that they had a fantastic cast, and they were pumping some real money into it. Sadly, all of that lasted for one season. Season two, a way-too long arc leading to what ended up being a really good mid-season finale--though it should never have taken 7 whole episodes to get there. Or six...I forget now. Anyway, if you've been watching I'm sure you know all the stupid plot points and ridiculous idiocy that's been going down this season. And I don't just mean that all the women and kids are positively insufferable...

As much as I adore the work of Greg Nicotero, and think The Mist is a damn near perfect horror film--fuck him for the goings on with the swamp zombie. And fuck him for all that CGI blood. To you I say: Is that what you learned studying under Tom Motherfucking Savini??? (pretty sure that's his name now) To use goddamn, goddamn CGI blood? What are you, SyFy Saturday?!?
Just so you know, I'm not paying to own that shit either.
And I bought the first season on DVD despite its absurdly high price.

You people could have elevated the zombie genre in a way we've not seen since the time of 28 Days Later. Giving the world a riveting, action-filled, compelling zombie drama with high production values and intense and artful direction--and what did you do? You cheaped out.
And you artists? You stood for it. It is bullshit. As a fan, it offends me.
You all should be ashamed.
Except Jeffery DeMunn. I will always love you, Sir.

Right. The season started with a pseudo horde that apparently doesn't notice you if you're under a car. If only cars became fashionable as hats, the zombie outbreak would have ended in a matter of days...
