    Do you guys really think The Walking Dead is viewed as a “prestigious” show? People look down on TWD as a zombie show with little depth. I love TWD but it’s not won an Emmy because it’s hard to get in to, critics just don’t find the writing on par with or even close to other dramas even on the same station such as Breaking Bad.

    And I don’t particularly find the writing all that great, either. The farm nonsense in season 2 really ruined a lot of the love people had for the show’s writing and direction, and it’s been battling back ever since.

      That being said Andrew Lincoln is definitely deserving of at least a nomination for carrying the show even in the lulls.

      I may have a completely different view because I marathoned Season 2 on DVD rather than having to wait week to week for each new episode- but I thought it was brilliant, and so completely important for the natural progression of the show. The characters needed that time to question so many aspects of the “new” world. Without all that talking and seemingly slow pacing, Season 3 would be completely unbelievable. I highly recommend that anyone who thought Season 2 was boring on TV go back and watch it on Netflix or DVD.

    I don’t think that the show is deserving of any acting awards at the Emmy’s, mainly because the characters don’t last too long on the show, and the roles aren’t too demanding of the actors. One actor who might be deserving of a nomination would probably be David Morrissey for his role as the Governor, but that’s it. The Walking Dead is defiantly overdue for writing and directing award nominations.

    This is the most brilliant show ever. It sucks the viewer into the action, makes him or her really care about the characters. In the Darabont era at least, it had incredible issues of moral ambiguity. Jon Bernthal, playing Shane Walsh, was the most amazing actor to come along in decades of tv and movies. Andrew Lincoln, an incredibly close second. For this show and its phenemonal actors to be passed over for “good” but nevertheless who cares-if-you-get-up-to-get-a-snack-check-your-email-check-the-food-in-the-oven-check-the-clothes-in-the-dryer-otherwise entertaining shows a real disdain for incredible, incredible writing and phenomenal acting talent. This show and its actors are a horse of a different color. In my (I won’t say how many years/decades of tv watching), there has Never been anything like it. Overdue for multiple awards? That’s the understatement of the entire history of television.
