What’s the matter you cum guzzling coward? U mad?
The walking dead is not a brilliant written drama..Not a bad show, but not a great one either.
IT WOULD HAVE A EMMY NOMINATION IF IT WAS GOOD!!!!!!!
TWD is the best show on tv
Yeah, right. Because those idiotic awards mean anything. You’re such a moron.
maxine showing us the mentality of the walking dead fan base.
Homeland is one of the silliest shows on television right now.
@maxine look at all the truly great shows that won.
Go and suck on your mommy’s tit you virgin.
@seth walking dead makes homeland look normal…plus homeland actually has great writing.
@maxine look down…i’m sucking on yours
You mean Lost, 24 and Homoland? All shows for silly virgins like yourself.
So you like sucking cock? I knew it.
@Maxine
You need to stop using rude/abusive language.
Why? Did I hurt your feelings?
@ Bretta
well, I mean if The Killing could somehow manage a renewal with the same numbers, then I’m pretty sure the insanely cheap comic book men can
@Maxine
No, you just need to show more respect to others. Calling people all the names under the sun just shows a total lack of respect/maturity. Grow up please.
@Maxine: You’re hating on what’s turning out to be one of the best Dexter seasons ever. Jennifer Carpenter deserves an Emmy. Your opinion is invalidated right there.
@jT: TWD won’t get any nominations for best show, but Rick just might snag a nomination.
No disagreement here. It may very well be one of the ‘best’ seasons, since pretty much every single one (except the first) was abysimal.
@JT you just went full retard. TWD won 2 emmys, 4 emmy nominations and 1 Golden Globe nomination. Please have a seat.
