Just to revive this thread from the "Dead"

once again, I liked the pacing and action of the first part of this season. No spoilers, but a big departure from the comics seems to be on the horizon based on the final episode of the half-season.
I understand how some of you might have left the fold over the years. It is what it is. The story is about the people and not the dead. I enjoy watching it. But I also liked a lot of shows that got canceled after a few dozen episodes...
Firefly...
The Sarah Conner Chronicles... so I am not a great compass for good serial television.
