No doubt about it.
Also, despite the screeching I've seen from feminists that The Walking Dead treats women and minorities terribly----and I have no idea WTH they're talking about----they seem, almost involuntarily, to be attracted to the character of Daryl. I think this is because women, sometimes in spite of themselves, just like real men. The males on this show are a welcome change from the feminized, polished little metrosexuals seen elsewhere on TV.
Normally I don’t pay any attention to race in shows, just not on my “watch list”. But even I have had to notice that Walking Dead seems to have a 1 black guy rule. We had T-Dog for 2 seasons, then he gets killed an episode or two after Oscar, then Oscar gets killed the same episode Tyreese comes in. Now I know in TV world you can’t generally have as many characters for people to follow, and T-Dog was a lame character and they obviously weren’t doing anything with Oscar, and Tyreese is a great character from the books. But it’s still odd that they had that “bridge” black guy character in between T-Dog and Tyreese.
Minorities of all sorts do die more often, but that’s because they are more likely to be minor characters. There may also be confirmation bias, because people look for that sort of thing. White people dying you tend to forget about. I don’t even remember how many members of Herschel’s family died on the farm.
As for women, they did at least write the Lori character horribly. Everybody hated her, and not in the way they hate Merle. This is a problem general to tv shows, and maybe to victim as a whole. It stems from the fact that most writers are men, and while they are able to invent good woman characters some of the time, they always let bad eggs through.
His brother’s a real redneck man, and no one likes him.
BOVINE SCATOLOGY! (look it up). It's not “they” - IT'S YOU -I know you would run off with Daryl in a heartbeat! :o) I bet you are taking tranquilizers every day until Daryl is back in February. :o) It's a dull time right now, isn't it? No Daryl, no zombies, no bad governor, no swell fighting black girl (don't remember her name).
There are re-runs on that channel some time, you'll have to watch them for a Daryl fix until February. :o)
