Not at this moment. I burnt my graphic card... again. So I'm about to buy a whole new PC. And when I do, I'll be heading to New Vegas

I missed part of the first episode of The Walking Dead, but I've seen all the other episodes. I'm still warming up to it. I thought it might be kind of silly, but as with some other AMC dramas, it takes a genre that I'm not crazy about and weaves very good stories around it.
My personal rule with AMC: I'd watch an AMC mini-series based on Sarah Palin reading a comic book. Why? Because I figure they could take something that is based on the borderline retarded... and still turn it into something that doesn't just appeal to the least common denominators among us.
My only real criticism so far is that the show has this tendency to use certain stereotypical Hollywood social formulas (revolving around racism and domestic violence) to extract emotions from viewers. That Pavlov's dog thing really annoys me. It's taking the easy way out. A minor criticism is the use and handling of firearms in the show. What (real) cop would have a a giant Colt Python as a primary sidearm?! And guys, NO cop would have a Glock without a round in the chamber... and it doesn't have a safety!!! I watched the actors hand go to the nonexistent safety during the roadblock scene, and then I heard the "click" of the safety being disengaged. I have several Glocks and I stared at all of them for several minutes (not really), and yet I never found a safety on any of them! Also, the casting of Jon Bernthal as a southern sheriff's deputy was a really bad decision. I always find it annoying when I can tell that someone is basically doing a stereotypical imitation of how they think a southerner sounds. It's not easy to pass off a nice Jewish boy from D.C., who attended Sidwell Friends School, as an "aw shucks!", good ol' boy... and this guy is NOT up to that task! Mick Jagger did a better southern accent in various Beggar's Banquet songs than this guy does.
But even with those relatively minor criticisms, I'm still going to give this show a chance and continue watching it. It's pretty good. It's not Breaking Bad or Rubicon, but it's pretty good, IMO."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith
