God fucking dammit >_<

I was hoping this season would correct the image quality. This show, bar none, has the worst, most overly-compressed IQ I've ever seen. What's amazing is the type of error seems to switch from scene-to-scene. And sometimes it switches in the same fucking scene.

One minute it's a fucking noisy mess ... next minute it's DNR'd or simply compressed beyond clay-face territory ... next minute it has macro blocking the size of my fist.

Exactly, my HD channel is supposed to look HD and it's not my cable's fault...

Anybody see "The Book of Eli"? I was expecting some gangs and shit to happen by now.

When redneck jr. popped out on the bike, I thought he was someone else asking for a tax of sorts to pass through.

I have, they say a normal bicycle is a great means of transportation. Not a motorcycle which makes a ton of noise and relays on fuel. :)

They're on an open road though. It actually makes sense to have the front flank as a bike regardless of the noise.

Ugh ... please re-quote me to remove all the typos :p




Seriously though, I'm using FiOS. Verizon doesn't compress anything ... it's a direct stream of the broadcast.

This seriously looks like they're using an old consumer HD camera that doesn't have enough memory bandwidth to support the resolution. It's like a fucking FMV game.

A fucking cellphone on a stand would look better.

Looks great to me, and the blu-ray quality was phenomenal, maybe it's your shitty provider.

Read above ... my provider doesn't compress anything.

Maybe it's your shitty eyes or tiny TV.




It's possible the sat feed varies by location ... but again, that's the broadcaster's fault ... not the provider's

Jesus ... this is starting out fucking terrible.


Beyond the IQ issues:
  • Opening monologue was poorly written and acted
  • Where were the zombies hiding?
  • Can't smell people anymore?
  • How does someone maim themselves like that?
  • Instead they can hear a piece of metal drop (but can't hear someone making a ton of noise when they cut themselves and bang shit around)
  • Why was her gun in pieces in her purse and not ready to begin with?
  • New turbo zombies as needed?


The writing is terrible and contrived.

The gun part was pretty clear...
