From what I've read in the comics, Lori is portrayed perfectly. She's an annoying ***** in the comics too.
And about the badass scene, if they do it, I think it'd be Daryl

Yeah I think it would either have to be T Dog or Daryl. Daryl makes more sense, but T Dog hasn't done anything and I just wanted him to get some glory too

he'll get his glory....when they kill him off the show

yeah, but far from what she looks like in the TV show.
For those who compare T-Dog to Tyreese, don't forget that T-Dog had an hammer at the beginning of last week's episode when he killed zombies. Maybe there's a link there....
I was a fan of the paper version long before the show came out. I own every issue to date and the show has been extremely disappointing.
Tdog has been nothing in the show, but in the book, its him and Rick as ultimate badasses.
Lorie is just as annoying.
Rick's character in the show is nothing close to the book. In the book, Rick is always ready to kill for the group. In the show, he seems useless.
Show has no zombies? In the book, the number of zombies seems x10000 more. Every turn heads are getting smashed in.
Guns? WTF? In the book, guns are almost never used on zombies. Its almost always hand to hand.
CDC. One of the best parts of the book is you never know if there is a cure or salvation. But in the show, no, season 1 final they tell you there is non. The book your always expecting something positive on the next page.
Dale. In the book, Dale is an anchor for the group. He is always there. Killing him off negates many situations from the book. Same with the RV....The RV destroyed in season 2 sucks because it plays a big part in future situations.
Andrea. In the book, her and her sister are close with Dale, and when her sister dies, she and Dale are in a relationship. Even the fact that she is half his age is a big character development line in the book. In the book, she is worlds greatest sniper, something completely ignored int he show.
My biggest pissoff with the show is Shane. He was a minor character in the book in the sense that he is killed before they leave the camp in Atlanta.
The big problem with this is the main character, Carl. In the show, Carl is almost ignored, but in the book, he is the main character, maby 50/50 with Rick.
In the book, Shane goes to kill Rick and Carl steps in kills him "DONT ****ING TOUCH MY DAD!"
from then on, Carl is a huge part of the plot, and the book is very focused on how crazy Carl is....He kills lots of zombies. He even kills other kids. None of this is in the show. My wife and I, both big fans of the book, find that they have skipped the most important part. Think of it this way, in the book, Carl has a bigger body count then RIck does in the show.
Im not looking forward to the next season. They seem to leave out so much, and there are situations that are extremely nasty that I guarantee wont make it on the show, but are VITAL to the story.
Its a decent show, but to me, it only shares the name and a few character names from a great graphic novel.

I think you were expecting it to be a frame for frame remake, and that's why you're disappointed.
On a side note does anyone remember that Mexican/Spanish couple with children in season 1, who decides to depart in a different direction after their camp in the hills is infiltrated by walkers?
How quickly do you think they were slaughtered and eaten? Hahahhaha
What about the father and son from Season 1 that took Rick in? Whatever happened to them?

Yeah, well they're held up in that house pretty well, in a small town. Sure, logically they wouldn't last forever there, but that mexican family decided to try the open road alone...like, are you kidding me? That's basically suicide, what would have prompted the husband to do that boggles my mind.

T-Dog =/= Tyreese
two different characters
Also, Andrea's sniper abilities havent been ignored. They just havent been fully developed yet in the show. Shane saw her potential, which is why she was getting extra training
He appears to be in the place of Tyreese. Hes the only big black guy in the show.
If he isnt to be Tyreese, the show cut out one of the best characters. The guy who was Ricks right hand man. No Tyreese leave huge relationship plot holes with everyones fav female killing machine, not to mention what happens after..... Not having Tyreese is like Star Wars without Han Solo.

Im fine with it not being cut right from the book, but we are talking huge plot deviations. Major characters not even being around. Critical moments just not happening.
Killing major characters at wrong times changes things dramatically, to the point where its impossible to fallow the books at all. Its like turning blade runner into Escape from LA.

What's wrong with turning Blade Runner to Escape from LA? Snake Pliskin was a badass and those movies were great.
I guess that's my point. It's NOT a replay of the comic and although you say it doesn't have to be, you also say it's missing big plot changes and characters missing...well yeah that's the whole idea. They can have plenty of other big happenings on the show that never happen in the comics, namely anything with Daryl/Merle because they're not in the comics. I guess with that mentality I could say that the comics aren't very good.
I'm still flabbergasted as to why Merle is/was seen as a fan favourite. He really wasn't...
Having watched the show first, and then read the comics (up to #85), I'm pretty disappointed in how they went ahead with the show. Lots left to be desired. I'd be shocked if things lasted past the prison. Some of these characters are a total 180 than what they are in the comics.
Shane on the show, is more like Rick Grimes. The kid is actually a bad ass and not just another "kid". Spending as much time as they did on the farm really killed season 2 for me.

So because he's black, he's supposed to be replacing Tyreese? The characters are nothing a like, so I don't think he's a replacement.
Plus, we still don't know that Tyreese won't be in the TV show. He could very well appear in the prison next season
