It's been announced a while back that they'd do a tv show about it, and maybe noone cares. But I do, and maybe grimcity does too.

Here's some of the first looks at it. I'm hyped to say the least.
However I was hoping they wouldn't just film the issues 1-20 or whatever for the first season. Instead they could've picked up at the arch where the comic currently stands and have made flashbacks or whatever to introduce the characters, or to tell the story backwards from there.
Really excited to see how this turns out.

The comic is in way deep (arch-wise), it would be too hard to try and explain everything that transpired to a mass audience via flashbacks, and leaving bits out would be unfair on everyone watching, fans or not...
-
not really a fan of the comics. :(

Telling everything backwards would really be impossible, but starting off in the new, secure setting would still be really interesting. I, as a fan, wouldn't mind if they left out (or at least didn't mention) bigger parts of the preceeding story.
What makes the comic so good is the whole abyss of human nature/psyche blahblah shtick. So why not make our heros weird at first, then slowly explain how they became what they are now. I'm not saying it'd work out, but I think it'd be an interesting approach.
I just don't know how I feel about watching a series I pretty much know by heart from the beginning. Despite the changes Darabont is making to the script.
Here's a review of the 60 page pilot script Darabont wrote.

bicycle lady from issue 1? fuck yeah.
I wonder how they'd do the Michonne/Governor stuff later on in the series. I found it a little over the top in the comic already...necessary somehow, but unnecessary at the same time.

I ordered the compendium, but ended up reading issues up to 66 before it even arrived. Never regretted buying it regardless. Probably one of my favourite possessions.
These days I even annoy the comic store owner about new releases. He probably hates me because I'm new to the comic game.
-
I am hyped for this, if they do it right and it looks like they are, its going to be great. Best comic on the stands right now in my opinion.
-
damn that looks fucking sick

Oh shit, I've been seeing that image for a while and that didn't even hit me! Good call man!
Sorry for the shitty pic, but for anyone interested:
(http://www.grimcity.com/slap/wlkngdd.jpg)
^the image is a bit bigger if you view it alone
...but you're right in your original post, when I first heard rumors of this on Ain't It Cool I was in semi-chubs glee status and the more they leak out the better it looks. I'm going into this without trying to compare the comic. To me, it would be impossible to make it as great, the typical problem of translating comics/literature into film. I'm just stoked that a quality zombie show is going to be on... I like the big budget attention that the genre has been getting, and this might even push the creators of World War Z to make their shit even more epic.
Stoked, stoked, stoked... I know Hate's gotta be as well. When he visited here to roll around and hang with me and Devil on Enzyte, we spent some time on our zombie defense strategy, haha. I'm not really the type to get into fan-fiction, but between me and Hate I think we could write our own book just with posts we've made in here.
Anyway, I WANT THIS SHOW ON YESTERDAY!
Edited to repost Zombie Doug Brown since he was a pretty recent creation:

I'm just glad you and Hate have the Gulf Coast when the Zombie Attack does happen. I got NC under wraps, ha.
-
Yeah, I figure the whole area between east Texas and NC will be the first section of the country to clear up in case of outbreak. Weather in the south will make them degrade faster, and everyone's got guns.
Fan fiction again, fuck.
-
Semi OT!
Speaking of quality zombie tv shows, there's a good British one called Dead Set.
"During a fictional series of Big Brother, a zombie outbreak occurs, but the house-mates are unaware of the impending doom outside of the Big Brother House."

god, I can imagine how bad they would stink during the summer.
-
Surprised about the lead role and like Alan said it would be terrible to use flashbacks.
-
I love this comic so much. The story arch where they have to fight against the settlement of other survivors is fantastic.
-
read through the compendium a little while back, wasn't as into it as people told me i would be but i love the artistry. im curious to how this will work out. im down for any zombie action.
-

I agree. Alan should've never suggested telling the story backwards. it wouldn't work with such a complex story.
-
Put your handbag away and read the first two posts again (starting with the first post, of course)...
-
I don't even have a handbag. And Guys don't usually wear handbags. It seems to me that would be a really effeminate thing to do and, to be frank, on a messageboard like this, I think it's also frowned upon.
You're putting me in a pretty bad spot by insinuating I have one. No hard feelings though, I just needed to point it out.

Hi faster!.

If you exchange the L in your name with an S, and read it backwards, it's nasa. Like the space program!

You're so zany!

I just can't handle your amazing wit.

Read them all from torrents. The tv zombies look good

I love zombie movies!!! This looks like it could be amazing!!

Surprised about the lead role
...appearance wise he's a surprise, he looks like a young Kenny Loggins in the books.
There's another Zombie pic from IMDB... mirrored it:
(http://www.grimcity.com/slap/zombies/walkingdeadpic.jpg)
...Michael Rooker may (should) be in it, but he's not on the IMDB cast list and it isn't clear who he'd be playing, but that's based on a Twitter post:

Im downloading Dead Set right now, am curious to what it's like.
I really hope The Walking Dead series is gonna be good, read the compendium andam catching up with the rest right now...
-
First I've heard of it (never even seen the comic) so unless it's a total turd this will be nothing but awesome for me. It's a tv show? Any details on what station would pick this up?

AMC (starting in October). There may be a lack of F words, but the director is a fan of the comics so if it's a fraction as good as the books, it'll be fucking insane.
-
Watching the first episode of Dead Set and they're running zombies. Boo.

such a sick comic
-
Damn, this actually looks amazing. Here's a little bit better bootleg of the trailer:
Walking Dead Trailer - Comic Con 2010 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHN6goQTP9k#ws)
According to the website I found it on: "The series pilot's director, Frank Derabont, stated at the panel that the 'footage shown was toned down for Comic Con, since it is considered a family convention. The series will have plenty of gore to satisfy hardcore zombie fans.'"
So stoked that not only did someone do zombies right in a comic book, but now that it's been adapted, they're not shitting all over it. It's funny how everyone talks about the resurgence of the zombie genre, but all anyone ever makes are bullshit slapstick movies or shit ass running zombies with bullshit CGI gore. Zombie movies has to have the most skewed ratio of popularity to actual good movies existing ever. This series looks fucking proper.
Not too stoked on some of the casting. That dude really doesn't look like Rick to me. At least dye his hair. Rick's blonde. Also not that stoked on Andrea being played by this chick http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0390229/. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0390229/.) Don't think they say Andrea's actual age in the comic, but I imagine she's in her early to mid 20s. This bitch playing her is thirty fuckin seven. I have the boners for Andrea big time. Maybe just cause she's young and she'll fuck an old fart, so I'd have a chance with her. But yeah that Laurie Holden is too old to be playing her.
But as long as those two actors play the part well, I can get over the resemblance issues.
I have high hopes for this. May be the best thing to ever happen to me.
-
I care.
Sickest comic I've ever read
-
Well, I'm certainly spent.
On top of this, the future World War Z flick has me driving slower so that time will speed up. I wanna see all this shit already!

That shit was just crazy. I wonder how much shit they'll catch for the horse? Knowing p.e.t.a They're going to get buck and leave a severed horse head in the directors bed.
-
the first ep was sick! I have never read the comic so i cant compare it but as a stand alone show it looks to be something special. It reminded me of dawn of the dead (the original) in a way. slow moving creeping zombies, excellent atmosphere and characters I immediantly began to care for. I need more episodes and i need them now!
-
Fuck. Yes.
Was so awesome.
-
Just finished downloading the torrent, stoked

can someone upload it somewhere I can watch please?

Completely unrelated, but NO ONE SHOULD EVER WATCH THIS MOVIE. EVER. My roommate stumbled home in a drunken stupor with this movie tucked under his arms. Actually, watch it. I dare you.

On a related note, Walking Dead was playing this evening at work. Seemed decent. Its a little ridiculous what censors deem acceptable for people to see on primetime tv. You can't see a nipple or hear the fuck word, but you can see brains blown out of skulls all damn day. America is fucked.
-

yeah, i have a problem with this. people would be all around more pleasant if they showed tits and sex scenes on tv.
-
hey dumbass, you in the tank, you cozy in there?
-
I've never heard of the comic before and only watched it because my gf recorded it. Gotta say it was fucking awesome!
I thought it was really good but the tank scene at the end is what had me hooked.
I fell so far behind on Boardwalk Empire that I don't wanna catch up, and this looks more interesting.

Yeah it was and whatabout his homie making out with his wife? Damn didn't see that coming, But I really like this series and I can't wait till next weeks episode !
You should still give Boardwalk Empire a chance! Last week's epidsode was sick epecially when Jimmy takes out the other crew over Greek Town in Chicago..
-
Pretty good, but everyone's ugly on the show thus far and that could become a huge problem for me. Sharing screen time with half rotted corpses should make you look pretty good, all I saw was 3 d00ds with beards who need to shave.
-
Wow, what an amazing series this is going to be. Darabont is back and I couldnt be more stoked, he was going down a bad road with the shitty movies he was making
I was looking for a few days for the graphic novel of this but couldnt find it anywhere, sort of glad I didnt read it before starting the series because I have no idea what the storyline is or who dies.
The scene where the dad is shooting the rifle from the window waiting for his wife and the main character was looking for the "bicycle lady" was so fucking tight, I watched it 4 times, one of my favourite AMC moments ever
Gotta say one complaint though, the little girl faceshot was a bit much for me, I never get rattled by stuff in TV or movies but that was surprising. I guess because they're zombies no one gives a shit but seemed a little excessive to open the series like that./endpussyrant

They had a minor misstep with Rubicon, I kept up with that show and it didn't really pay off for me. But this surely makes up for it.

i avoided all the hoopla surrounding it because people have a way of overhyping a new show but so far its kick ass!
TV really needed a new series that wasn't a reality show nor vampires or superheros. can't wait til this sunday!
the only thing that bothered me was how his best friend made out with his wife. its not like he was in a coma for that long. based on his facial hair growth, maybe a month tops. it doesn't really make sense that his wife would start a new relationship with some other guy so quickly. they could have waited a while before dropping that bomb IMO, whatever.

seems like they were having problems before all the zombie shit went down. Nonetheless its a super shady move by his friend

yeah, him and his friend were talking about his marital issues in the beginning of the show.
but still, i think they could have waited a while to bring that into play, it would've made it better if they let the fans like/dislike the characters before throwing that type of monkey wrench into the equation. build up how good of a friend he has by looking out for his family, how loving his wife is and how she stays true to her husband, then smash it all into bits, kill any hope/love the fans had with a single kiss! just my 2 cents.

Episode 2 airs on Sunday, I can't wait.
I just hope it won't turn into a romance drama with the wife and Shane.

Don't worry, he'll get what's coming to him.

Another good episode tonight. For those of you guys who haven't read the books but were worried if you did it would ruin the show, don't. I've read every issue, and pretty much everything so far has been different and it's kept me guessing.
-
Yeah I only read the first one and it has already been pretty off from that. If I survived all that to find out my wife was fucking my friend id probablyyyy kill em both and eat the son.
-
DAMN, that part where they were pretending to be zombies was intense as fuck, even if it was abd by shawn of the dead.
-
I haven't read the books but I can already tell what's going to happen to Shane. That dude is straight fucked.
I'm assuming we haven't seen the last of Dixon either. Now we'll have a psychopath hunting the survivors as well as the undead. My question is - will Dixon be able to saw the cuffs? Or is he going to saw his arm off at the wrist? I think that would just seal the deal on how committed he is to escape and find the others.
I was genuinely happy Glenn survived. I was pumped when he was speeding down the freeway at the end.

...yeah, the whole wife/Shane thing is spot on with the comic.
Also, you have to consider that there's no reason for them to believe that Rick is anything more than a zombie, and people like to fuck.

i think the black dude is going to go back for dixon. theres no way hes going to leave him down and out like that, besides he locked the door on the way out to protect him. hes going back, its just a matter of when.
this show frickin rocks. i was on the edge of my seat that whole episode, can't wait til next week!
-
did he lock the door to protect him?
Makes sense, but I figured he locked the door to make sure if he does get out of those cuffs he's double screwed by being locked up on the roof because now he's scared that he'll be after him if he gets out.
show kicks ass. The walking down the street covered in guts was so intense
-
DAMN, that part where they were pretending to be zombies was intense as fuck, even if it was abd by shawn of the dead.
That part was so good. You could feel the tension when the one zombie behind them was just staring at them and soon others were following. I'm glad the one dude got away in the Dodge Challenger. I was stoked as he flew down the wrong lanes of the freeway with the car alarm blaring. Next week looks pretty intense too.
-
i hate the whoring wife sidestory, pisses me right off. shit will hit the fan when he finds out.

how fucking good is that show? i mean, yeah, i love zombie flicks, but this one is one of the first where i would say: yeah, their actions seem plausible.
i?m glad i didnt read the comics. or even hear of them for that matter....more tension now.
-
before this show I couldn't remember the last time I was on the edge of my seat watching a zombie flick. this show is so amazing, the scene when they're covered in guts had me both laughing my ass off and biting my nails. need more eps now!

The show is soo fucking good and intense love it and I can't wait for next week's episode. One of the best shows out right now.

You guys are making me wish I appreciated this to nearly the same level.

Missed this Sunday but I know the first one was on AMC's on demand channel already before the second episode. Anyone know how long is it until they put them up there?
-
thanks Grim. just watched it. Really damn good.
-
Don't see how that dude is surviving with one hand....unless he plans on taking care of shit Evil Dead style.
-
Damn I knew they'd find a severed hand. FUCK! Merle is going to be bat shit insane now.
Glen rules. I felt so bad when they were taking apart the charger. He was bummed.

Shane beat the shit out of that dude who beats his wife

Norman Reedus is dope, solid character in the series, hopefully he doesnt get killed off quickly
Wish these episodes were 2 hours long

Not really sure what to think about short- and grey haired Carol. It makes sense for now I guess. but c'mon, Tyreese would never hit that...
-
I read up a little bit on the comic series last week. I did not picture Carol being like she is. Also weird because it seems like the Dixon brothers are going to play a pretty important part of the series, and those two were written exclusively for the show. Keeps some suprise element in, even if you've been following the comic I guess.
-
Next episode is titled "Vatos"
From what I gather from the preview, looks like our boys are gonna run into some zombie slaying cholos. Bout to be tight!
-
so legit, but i've been wondering:
why is it in so many zombie movies (and this show) that the characters don't refer to the dead as "zombies"? is this some alternate reality where the term/genre doesn't exist in modern day cultures? my friend brought it up the other day and it's been on my mind while watching the show

I went through the whole comic series like a month before I heard about the show, so I was initially bummed, but the new characters and slight changes in the storyline still keep it interesting
-
now that i'm totally invested in the show its starting to piss me off..........everytime it ends I badly need to see more. I cry out at my screen with a dramatic nooooooooooo that could rival darth vaders at the end of sith.
so yeah loving it

In this show I've heard them refer to them as "walkers" and "geeks" more than I've heard them called the zed word.

The more you use the word 'zombie' the more knowledge you're implying the characters have about all the lore and stuff. I guess it makes sense to just try and make it seem as foreign as possible for the sake of tension with the characters.
And for streams, http://www.icefilms.info (http://www.icefilms.info) should be available in Europe, it's really convenient and uses megaupload as a host so even if you don't want to stream the episodes you can just use the site to find download links.

Spoilers for anyone that hasn't seen the show at all...
I'm digging the characters and situations outside of the comic... it still has the same feel as the comic, but only a couple of things bug me (sort've).
1. The little girl that Rick shot in the first episode and the zombie mom/wife back in the neighborhood... the little girl picked up a stuffed animal and the zombie mom had a fixation on that area of the neighborhood by her house. That differs from the comic, as this implies that they retain some human memories. Not sure how I feel about that. I don't feel much of whatever I feel about it, just saying.
2. Zombies breaking shit with rocks and climbing over fences... I can take the rocks to a degree, but none of the zombies should be climbing fences. Especially if you've read the comics and you remember the old prison storyline featuring "The Governor." Fences were key to that shit.
-
I've never read the comic, but the fence climbing bummed me out as well. Obviously they're trying to keep the show dramatic and have their own spin on zombies, but climbing? I can understand retaining some memories, but climbing a chainlink fence is a little more complex, at least as a basic function a zombie can do. "Grasp, pull up, move feet, place properly, move hands, grasp..." I think that was a stretch, just make them push the fence harder. Whatever.
But I'm still hyped on the show, definitely the one show I'll actually follow.

I was wondering about the same thing. The people who write to Kirkman will probably ask the same questions in the next comic issue, so maybe we'll get an answer there.
-
I finally got around to watching the first episode (thanks for the link, fellas) and so far it looks good. They deviate from the comic quite a bit, but to be honest, I thought the comic suffered from shitty dialogue anyway. Excited to see how this turns out.
-
i didn't care for the ending of last nights episode. cutting off ones own hand/foot/body to get out of cuffs has been done to death.
dixon obviously got the hacksaw(specifically designed to cut through metal) so why would he chop his hand off? its not like the zombies got to him.
i know someone is going to say that the metal on the cuffs were too strong but he could have also cut through the rusty thing he was cuffed too. he probably would have cut through that even faster.
i'm still enjoying the show but i don't like it when they throw in some shit that makes no sense. yeah dixon was losing it but cutting off his own hand is just some stupid shit they did to make it more gnarly or whatever.
-
I see what you're saying, I even said the same thing upon seeing the hand but I think we forget to take into account the panic factor. Dixon was shitting and begging for forgiveness so you could tell he was at the end of his rope. Probably found the saw and thought it'd be faster through flesh and bone than saw through cuff or the piping. Not rational, but dud was definitely shook watching the geeks trying to get him.
Besides, now we have two sets of enemies. Zombies...and a psychopathic Merle, whose lost all connection with human beings and will probably spend the rest of his days hunting them. Excitement ensues.
About the fence hopping - bullshit. I really hope they don't bring that trick back again. In the books, wasn't it always kind of hinted at that they couldn't even climb stairs? Let alone scale a fence?
I can't wait to see how they introduce Michonne if they keep her in the series.
-
if he really lost it to the point where he'd cut off his own hand, he wouldn't be able to climb down from the top of the building. he certainly didn't go through the door and it would be very difficult for him to climb down any type of latter with one hand especially considering he was left hungry, thirsty, bleeding and tired as fuck.
yeah its a fictional TV show but some scenes need to make sense and this wasn't one of them.
as far as fence hopping or any other physical activity of the zombies, well that requires that the zombie be recently undead. the flesh rots away in time, its the reason why we don't see zombie skeletons running around. too much decay means they lack the muscles needed to climb fences, pick up rocks or anything else that require any real effort. so if they're not recently dead, they shouldn't have enough strength to do much of anything, not even walk toward you.

yeah its a fictional TV show but some scenes need to make sense and this wasn't one of them.
They scaled a ladder with guard railings in the previous episode, and it looked like there were a few lower buildings he could probably drop down onto, then find a similar ladder, making the loss of a hand not as important. Personally I like the mysterious factor, makes him coming back a little more creepy.
-
The most recent episode kind of sucked in my opinion. Too much bad acting, not enough zombies, and the ending was straight up regular.
-
None of the conflicts within the group are really doing it for me. Too many over-the-top characters.
-
ive never read the comics but after watching all the episodes so far i definetely agree that its a very well made series probably the best looking on tv right now,but i still cant wrap my head around the lack of rational thought some time. like in the first episode, hes in the hospital, hes the only human in there at one point and the military comes in and basically rounds up every single zombie but misses the one guy alive? also the base right outside with all the military garbage, theres no way the military wouldve been overrun and even if they wouldve been they would never leave millions of dollars of equipment behind only to move into the city and do the same there.
then when hes in the tank i got mad because...tada your in a tank! i mean god knows no normal person would know how to drive it but come one you couldve at least tried or even used the grenade he got of the guy.and lastly the fact that they know that using guns attracts more so every time they get their hands on cqb weapons they usually drop them or leave em behind. just those little things keep making it hard to relate as a real life thing and make it less appealing cus i wouldnt do half the stuff theyve done.
-
I downloaded a bunch of the comics last night. Damn. If they keep the series to the same path as the comic, this is going to be some dark shit.
-
I can't wait to see how they introduce Michonne if they keep her in the series.
My favorite character in the books... I hope they make her at least half as bad ass in the show.
-
as for the characters never reffering to the zombies as "zombies" I think that would be like breaking the 4th wall. we all know they are zombies from movies and if we ever saw one, after the inital shock it we would be like "whatever, shoot it in the head" bam, done. but since characters in zombie films dont know what these things are and initially dont know how to kill them I assume that in their world there are no zombie films with detailed zombie instructions.

FUCK. Overall it was a fair episode but it just got real as fuck for them.
Did anyone else notice random people you never saw at all running in the camp?
-
The Zombies just took a huge maggot infested shit on that fish bake. They fucked shit up and fuck that bitch for not agreeing that time matters.
-
Hahaa, good shit... good old fashioned zombie mayhem at the end.
I didn't see any additional characters except for the zombies in the camp though, lem.
-
that shit was intense.
-
must suck to get yo ass beat for beating yo wife then get ate by a zombie
-
Didn't think the sister would go that quick. We all know she's going to come back. I did see about 2-3 randoms running around the camp getting eaten. It got pretty wild.
Daryl fucking rules.
-
WHAT THE FUCK, there are only 2 episodes left, I hate these short season shows
This show has one of the best soundtracks ever, even though its just ominous background songs it works so damn well
I noticed a few randoms getting fucked up at the camp
No sign of Murell eh, wondering if he makes an appearance next episode
-
A lot of shows do a short first season, which sucks in this case!
-
WHAT THE FUCK, there are only 2 episodes left, I hate these short season shows
I feel the same way. How could you not know this series would get traction. I'm not asking for a full 22 episode season but still 13 episodes please.
-
Thats how AMC is. Its only got 6 episodes, but it has already been called back for a second season with 13 episodes
-
fuck man, so sick of andrea's shit. that was too much bad acting on her part.
-
so did Merele drive a box van full of zombies up to the camp to get revenge or something? Where did they all come from suddenly like that?
-
the gangsters had me laughing cus they were pretty bad actors, but i do admit i was wishing they wouldve shot em up when they came back.i wanted to see that guillarmo or whatever get decapitated by buck shot.
also thought jim was gonna rape or murder the boy until i got it at then end.
-
so did Merele drive a box van full of zombies up to the camp to get revenge or something? Where did they all come from suddenly like that?
I could see that actually happening. The dude has to be pissed out of his mind and would want revenge, and that's some fucked up revenge. I was a bit skeptical that a huge group would just roam up the mountain, even if they had hinted at it earlier after that one eating the deer.
-
There's no crying in the boat.
-
Last episode wasn't good, as mentioned before, the acting just didn't do it for me and I usually don't notice stuff like that at all.
And what the fuck was the latino hostage scene good for? They should've used the time on the characters instead.
Also why did noone have a watch on him when the world ended? A month after the supposed breakout noone even knows what time of the year it is. Fuck, my watches usually run for 3 years easily. I already thought that was stupid in the comics and its making me so angry.

I doubt Merele could wrangle that many into the van? They hinted with the deer that they were wandering outta the city lookn for food, and the old man even said it. Plus they had higher flames from the fire, even though covered by brick. Still would've had smoke?
-
the zombie madness at the end was cool but so out of left field. not even the slightest warning even though i knew it was going to happen...that whole swapping stories in front of a campfire usually leads to someones death! all i can say is, they better pack up and move on out because all that noise they made must've alerted the rest of the walkers.
anyway, so far so good. of course we could all poke holes in the story til the cows come home but its still holding my interest more than any other show on right now.
-
why wasn't anybody on lookout while they were just chilln eating fish?
-
It had to be that car alarm

I think the hostage scene was a good little bit of character development on another group. they may be important characters in the long run I dont know? but it was set up that they are some hard assed latino gang and then suddenly they are really caring for the elderly at the hospital. it shows they have layers so i hope they appear later. I liked it
-
Speaking of other groups, I will be very pissed off if at some point they don't introduce The Governor.
-
Ahhh...finally just saw the first two episodes. So god damn good. I'm so hooked!!
-
Speaking of other groups, I will be very pissed off if at some point they don't introduce The Governor.
Fuck yeah, they have to! My second favorite character next to Michonne... definitely the most fucking hard core story arch in the books in my opinion.
Second place would have to be the the dealings they had with the nearby squatters, and the conflict resolution. To be more specific and not spoil, most of it centered around Dale. Really want to see that.
-
New episode just aired. Acting is slowly becoming a burden for me, and it was pretty slow, but I'm hoping it's a good set up for the next episode.

this show is just like LOST, im fuckin loving it

recently came out of denial, 90% of zombie movies suck, i just like the way zombies look. this show looked really slow to me, not tuning in. nice lookin' zombies though.. :-[

-
slow episode last night but you know its building up to a cliff hanger with the last episode of the season coming.
-
Weird that they're now turning it into a zombie virus. I thought in the books/comics, the whole point was that there was no virus. It was just something that everyone had.
-
Dang. Kind of disappointed in that ending.
-
Not bad/not great ending. Kind of hard to believe that an insanely high tech facility like that wouldn't have some kind of solar backup or some kind of alternative fuel supply that would last much longer. Hopefully they'll dump more money into the series for the next season. Some of the directing is pretty bad and I usually don't notice stuff like that. I hate to sit here and poke holes though. It's still a really fun show.
So... when does season 2 start?
-
real talk. i would have stayed at the cdc :'(
-
I was hoping for some kind of big reveal in the finale. No return of Merle. No introduction of cool new characters. Instead they got in the CDC, got drunk and then it blew up. We found out that it is indeed a zombie virus, which is the complete opposite of what Kirkman said about the comic.
-
that last epsiode was a bigger letdown than the last "full house" episode.

Probably that Rick's wife has one in the oven. Jenner seemed like a dude that wouldn't be like "oh by the way Rick, I saw your dude touching your wife...enjoy that". Whatever he said must've been said out of necessity and since there are no more hospitals or clinics, that was probably the motivation. Andrea isn't carrying anything other than a fuck ton of drama and tears. Chick needs to die quick.

I never understood how they could bitch about how they have no gas, but drive 4 vehicles. Rather than have Shane drive a Jeep by himself, Daryl drive a truck by himself, and then a mobile home and a car...shouldn't they have just syphoned gas, saved it and taken maybe...2 cars? Surely you could get two extra people into that car and RV.

Andrea's redeeming qualities in the comic are marksmen and emotional coldness, she's just a tired bag of emotions in the show.

WTF is with Carl not being able to keep the hatchet? Give that boy a hatchet!

I didn't even know this show existed until I saw a commercial a few days ago. I love anything to do with zombies, so I watched season 1 on Netflix last night. Probably one of my favorite shows of all time.
When does it air on AMC?

i think it runs sunday 9pm amurrica-time. i just know that when i wake up on mondays, i will download a new episode ASAP and watch it while breakfast.

Ive been reading the graphic novel in anticipation for the second season. Its quite a bit different from the show, although Carl getting shot at the end starts a big storyline.
The Walking Dead Ep. 201 - Scoring the Season 2 Premiere (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw1LVkQmSsg#ws)
This dude kills it, the first season had a great soundtrack and this one started off strong.
-
So glad these show is back on. I watched the first season when it aired and wasnt even sure if it would get picked up again for a season 2. This first episode was badass.
-
Andrea/Angela is a fucking brat.
-
just torrented/watched the premier...so sick. I wasn't a huge fan of the ending of the last season when the doctor told them the zombies were no longer human at all. That was always one of the most interesting things about zombies for me, whether or not the survivors were killing mindless animated corpses or murdering very sick humans.
Regardless, show rules, stoked for this season.

probs that his wifey is preggers, fuck this show is sweet- i love the survival story, something that zombie movies cannot really ever get into properly. What do people think after so long of trying to survive with no real promise of hope. actings bad at some points but i really the the drawn out-ness of each episode, it really makes it feel like a true life show. teen mom in a zombie apocolypse

^haha
finished season 1, word on the blond girl. everytime shes on screen fuck ..overactor
-
I tried pretty hard to like this show, but it's just not cutting it. Uninteresting and stupid characters, boring melodramatic plot, etc. The first season sucked, and I thought season 2 would be a lot better, but that premier was pretty bad. I'll give it two more episodes before I drop it completely.

yup.
Once thing that bothers me is that the survivors seem to get sprayed with zombie blood all the time but no one ever turns into a zombie after that. I mean, if getting bit turns you, how can you get sprayed with their fucking blood all in your mouth and eyes and not get turned?

ayo dey need to ditch that shitty RV and scoop up on of dem SUV's sitting on the side of road.
and i ride for my bruthas in horror movies cuz they always b tryna off a nigga but that black dude is a worthless character b.
-
The Winnebago is breaking down every five minutes and they keep stealing parts from cars that are brand new. I don't understand why they don't grab new vehicles also. Seems like they'd be better on gas mileage.
-
I can see the Andrea-character hate on the show, she's a much better character in the comic... but sad mommy Carol is the one I can't stand.
I've said it before, but I want Michonne to come in, I want them to do a piece on the Governor, and thinking about it, I really want to see Abraham introduced (even though he'd come in a lot later I think).
Michonne though... if they do her character right, she'll own the show.
-
Michonne would be awesome to bring on. It'd turn the survivors from a group barely getting by, into an unstoppable force. Since Daryl pulls more than his own weight in that camp, having Michonne would mean that everybody could just sit around and do nothing.
Carol is the fragile little glass that needs to shatter. I don't like her at all. I don't like Andrea very much. T-bag or T-dog is worse than useless, since he seems to be fucking everything up. But as much as those three suck, Glenn is pretty awesome.
I wish they'd bring address the one-handed Dixon brother that's SURELY out looking for some revenge. I wonder if he'll replace the Governor character.

how does Shane deal with those guys? fucking amateurs

the scene where they were hiding under the cars was fucking tense. love this show
-
A little late to this because I've been offline.
Didn't like the first episode as much as I would have hoped. It was kinda boring in a lot of parts, some of the scares were pretty cliched and the monolgues were pretty cringeworthy in some parts. The previews though, for the rest of the season, guaranteed I am not quitting. What's the redneck biker's name? Best character.
Daryl, seriously the best character.
-
^ agreed, Daryl's a boss! Crazy he isn't from the books, but owns the screen every time he's on it.
-
How accurate is the show compared to the comic?
I skimmed through the summary of the comics and I don't like were it goes.
-
anyone have a link for the comics?

20% similar to the comic.... the writers took a lot of liberties, pretty much after the first episode the show spins off in its own direction and occasionally shows some link to the comic....
-
I know the human interactions is one of the comic's strong points but I'm not feeling it in the show.
-

overacting at its best and the characters that we are supposed to love (Andrea) are hard to like.... also (on a completely non-racist note) why is T-dog still alive on the show? he's barely had 10 lines in the entire season, is not in the comic book, has zero character development and has no special skills....
-
I don't think we're supposed to care for Andrea at all. The only sign that the writers might have intended for us to sympathize with Andrea is that her sister was killed. But then again, so was 90% of the planet...so I can't really be bothered to give much of a fuck. Andrea is just a sqawking voice in the background, assuming that she's the only one dealing with any sort of pain at all. She'll either pass her kidney stone or she'll die.
T-Bag absolutely useless in every episode. This episode was the only time I agreed with him when he was like "They left me behind cause I'm the weakest". Yep. Cause you're the King Midus of mistakes, and everything you touch turns to shit.
Shane has his moments of being a complete and total dickhead, but he usually follows them up with compensation by being useful.
Daryl is the best dude. He's starting to show some family-guardian connections with the others...but not so much that it clouds his judgement. First dude into a situation and last dude out. As far as I'm concerned, they could burn most of the characters on the show and it'd be fine just as long as Daryl still made wise-cracks as he killed things.

just completed watching season 1. i really dig the zombie shit but this was just so embarrisingly bad. like when the camp got attacked, they wait til like mid day the next day and thats about when the chick with mermaid neclace was reborn as zombie and the guy who got bitten in stomach, for him it took many days. in the last episode the doc says that it takes few minutes to 7 hours to turn into a zombie??? in his wifes case 2 hours. wait, what. and how come noone else survived and "the french" were the last ones to die when a bunch of weak ass latinos and their grannies with no weapons and unable to go to toilet survive in a big ass city. what about europe, australia, greenland, iceland. whatever. how the fuck would the zombies get there. or nepal. like anyone could take someones boat and just chill on the sea, catch some fish, maybe go to some island, eat coconuts and what not. sorry for being so negative but there are zombie films where there isn't most of this fail stuff. if you have a budget of millions of $ , how can you make something so good, yet so bad because the show itself is well done really.

I think I have the first 60+ comics in .cbr format I can throw up on Rapid Share tonight if anybody wants them. I'm sure they're all over torrent sites as well.

A few minutes to 7 hours, after the infected victim dies for reanimation. So in the case of Andrea's sister, Amy, she was bitten on a major artery and bled out pretty instantly. Died. It took (what seemed like) 4-6 hours for her to reanimate as a zombie. Jim, the guy who was bit in the stomach, didn't die from his wound immediately and had to wait until the virus burned him out, which took about a day or two.
and how come noone else survived and "the french" were the last ones to die when a bunch of weak ass latinos and their grannies with no weapons and unable to go to toilet survive in a big ass city. what about europe, australia, greenland, iceland. whatever. how the fuck would the zombies get there. or nepal. like anyone could take someones boat and just chill on the sea, catch some fish, maybe go to some island, eat coconuts and what not. sorry for being so negative but there are zombie films where there isn't most of this fail stuff. if you have a budget of millions of $ , how can you make something so good, yet so bad because the show itself is well done really.
You're missing the point with this. Dr. Jenner said that the last he had heard from was the French labs. The whole world might be wiped out, it might not. But communications are cut. The world is back in the midieval times where there is no internet, phones, or form of global communication. European nations might be just fine now, but the survivors in Atlanta wouldn't know until they boarded a ship and sailed across the ocean to find out.
As for the latino gang - if you noticed, they're in an isolated brick compound that's pretty far from the city. They had said that they fortified the compound from outsiders, and they scavenge supplies from the city in small groups. That's how they've been able to survive the mayhem up until this point. Because nobody bothered them. Nobody had a need to bother them. Most people were confused, frantic and lost their shit in the cities. From there, it doesn't take much to narrow the survivors down. Besides, most people really don't have survival skills of any kind. That's what makes the show more realistic to me. Most of the people I encounter on a daily basis would be literally eaten alive.
Everybody looks at these situations from the "viewer" standpoint and we can easily dismantle what the character should and shouldn't do. Go on a boat, go to an island, just chill. But where does your supply of fresh water come from? Food? How long do you chill on the island - a day, a month, a year? If you can think on your feet in "the now", odds are you'll be ok.

This kid I work with told me yesterday that he went to Comic Con in Chicago and they had a Q&A with 5 members of the cast. 1 of them was the missing brother. He didnt say anything about a return but I guess its in the comics? I am sure he will be back this season.
As for the comics I want to read them but I dont want to spoil this show. Hearing that they arent that accurate makes it more tempting. Fuck it, Im just going to torrent them.
-
Neither of the Dixon brothers are in the comics. They are show-exclusive right now. I guess they're fucking with the idea of writing Daryl into the comic eventually.
About the spoilers - yes and no. I think if you read the comics you might potentially spoil some shit for the future of the show, but that's kind of what happens any time you read a novel/book that's a movie/tv series is based on. It's not a bad thing. But then again, they have taken a lot of liberties with the writing on the show as Grim said, so you never know.
One thing with the comic I will say - more people die because there are more characters introduced. They can't possible maintain that with the show since there's only 6-12 episodes written per year, at 40 minutes a piece. There's no way you could introduce as many characters in such a short time and kill them off with any emotional effect at all. I think the point of the show is to make it a character-drama, and with that they'll have to take their time to build characters.

Pleeeease?

i think the changes between the comic and tv show come down to the different mediums. neither is better than the other in my opinion. its just the comic moves very quickly because you cant linger for to long, to keep the readers interest you cant have entire issues featuring panel after panel of a couple of people standing around talking. there needs to be new interesting images and the story needs to move on.
the tv show is able to linger because you can see the characters emote and think. therefore it can only take key plot points and use them in the best way the medium allows. The character changes feel necessary to add drama as the show isn't really about the zombies. its about the people. it could be an alien invasion or killer plants, or killer robots and it would always be secondary. its about the people and their stories.

fuck shane
-
I knew something was up when he came back with that thousand yard stare. Dudes seen people die before and hasn't batted an eye lash. For him to come back looking that dazed, I knew there had to be something fucking awful that happened.
Also fuck Lori. If my mom talked like that while I was unconscious, I'd bail the fuck out as soon as I woke up.
-
the show keeps uping the ante
-
at first i thought that the beginning was about shane feeling guilty because he fucked his best friends wife while he was in a coma.
amazing shit so far, again. i loved daryls comment on the dude that hung himself. it may seem cynical or cold-hearted, but i totally felt the same way.
-
so did bastard shane get bitten or not?
-
so did bastard shane get bitten or not?
No.
It seems that Shane is becoming mentally unstable, but I guess he had to kill Otis in order to survive and make it back with the supplies.
Was Sophia in the preview on AMC.com? I saw some younger blond girl next to Otis wife. I'm already getting tired of them looking for Sophia.
-
so did bastard shane get bitten or not?
Nope. The spot on his head was from Otis pulling his hair out. Shane shaved his head in an effort to hide the visual reminder of his feral moment, and also I'm assuming avoiding getting the fun question of "How'd you get that bare spot on your head?".
I'm assuming this was the last straw before Shane realizes he's slipping into a "do what it takes to survive" type role, and he'll abandon the crew to fend for himself. Ultimately, dude is fucked. I realize what the guy did was because of a nearly hopeless situation but I wonder if Shane's ultimate motivation was his own survival... or priority of getting the equipment back for Carl's survival. Either way, it felt dirty and cut throat. RIP Otis. Positive note - Otis was fat and there will probably me more food left now.

i hear ya. just how lost is she? the others have found two campsites, a church, a fairly large farm and theres a highschool reasonably close by all within walking distance. with all that around there must be more places. plus theres a highway right next to the forest. surely she has found something how long can she be wandering around for? get eaten or get found!
anyway no sympathy with sophia I am way more interested in shanes story right now.

That was a different girl. Seems like the group back at the highway made their signal for Sophia and went to the farm. Or they found her dead and the mom opted out because I don't think I saw her in that preview. And seriously where did that girl go. Rick said follow the river or something like that, did she just follow it too far or what.
Overall I'm enjoying this season. Lot of people calling it boring and shit acting but the gnarly moments make up for it to me.
-
I think focus of the next few episodes will be on Shane unraveling mentally and emotionally. This season is terrific so far. I was bummed on the finale of season 1, but none of the episodes have been disappointing yet. The only annoying thing is how lost Sophia is and how much air time they're devoting towards showcasing it.

I wanna see Shane kill a human again tbh

god damn what a great ending

surprised shane didn't get hit a la carl when otis shot the zombie right between them.
-
Seems to me Shane wanted to bring back the supplies solo, get the credit and recognition from Lori for 'saving' Carl
If the show follows the comics, Glens about to get some ass. Its diverted quite a bit though
spoilers
Im wondering when Shane will die/if he will still get killed by Carl. I always though that was such a gnarly storyline. I bet the second season is going to end with them finding the prision.

I can't wait for shane to get killed,...
But with all the new shit happeneing I am still wondering if we're gonna see Merle again,... kinda hoping so.

Pretty surprised they made an episode with only one zombie in it, frankly. That whole business with Glenn going into the well was dumb as hell.
Preview makes it look like shit's about to get stirred up next week though.
-
That whole business with Glenn going into the well was dumb as hell.
yeah that had me screaming at the show. "c'mon you fucking idiots, seriously? really? c'mon!" but i thought that zombie was cool as hell. it was like the fat ones in left for dead, or a floater in dead island. when it was torn apart i was in stitches. freaking amazing gross out, laugh out loud moment.
And they still haven't found the girl yet! I dont really care if they ever find her now, theres simply no tension there anymore. announce she's dead or found or whatever and move on.
I am fairly critical of whats going on but i'm still loving it.
-
Don't shoot that zombie. He might contaminate 1 of the 5 wells we have on the property. Even though he's been swimming/shitting/bleeding in the water for days...shooting him would definitely ruin the water source.
Besides that mess of idiot decision making, everything was good. Looks like Glenn got into the farmer's daughter. Looks like Shane all but confessed to killing Otis. And Daryl is still being the prime example of how to act in the midst of the zombie apocalypse. Sucks that Merle is coming back though. You know that dude is going to cause trouble.
-

I thought Daryl was going to find her in that house. They already stretched out this issue on finding this damn girl.
Lol, wtf were they thinking with getting that fat zombie out of the well. When they were pulling him out you can see blood dripping down his body...sure he already contaminated the well.
I think T-dog is our next victim, Merle probably wants revenge.
-
I thought for sure they were building up to Daryl finding her in the house. There were cans of food showing that someone had eaten there, and it looked like he found a small bed made in the kitchen closet.

And they focused on that closet for a good couple seconds. Something was up with that, that maybe it will come back to. But seriously lets get the fuck going! The only cool thing about this episode was Glen got it with that cute as fuck cowgirl.
-
So what do you guys think, do we have a baby Shane on the way?
-
Yep. And I'm betting Rick knows already. When Rick was at the CDC, Dr. Jenner whispered something in his ear. The dude looked stunned. I'm betting Jenner told him his wife was knocked up. I'm sure Rick realized that he'd only been with his wife for a week (or two) and that it was way to early for her to be pregnant due to him. I'm sure he took a few minutes after the chaos of the CDC explosion, thought it over, realized that his wife and Shane have been together for over a month and put it together. It probably doesn't help that Lori and Shane are terrible at masking their awkward body language around each other.
I'm sure it's one of those things Rick knows, but is willing to swallow it down into his stomach and not talk about it.
-
Damn, you're probably right. I totally forgot about how they all had to submit to blood tests when they went in there.
*edit.
I knew that well zombie looked familiar.

I'm hoping that between all the talk of God's scorn, him tucking away his badges, and the impending pregnancy drama, he'll finally start dropping the white knight act and get a little more unpredictable.
Merle will definitely be a good shakeup (could well be a hallucination though), but I think more needs to happen since everyone has been way too comfortable in their roles this season.
-
Right on. I agree with that. But I'm thinking Merle's return will force Daryl to pick sides or change for the worse. Not stoked on that.
Even better then. Have Merle as the villain, Rick as the hero, and Daryl as the bad ass anti hero!

Psyched for the new episode. I just torrented issues 1-89 of the comic, and burned through the first 70 issues in the last two days. These are fucking great. The Governor was a crazy villain, those cannibals...damn. Rick is SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING IN THE COMIC. I guess they thought it would be hard to work the anti-hero angle into the show, but maybe they'll do it later.

if the lost girl doesn't come back and is conveniently forgotten and written out the show i probably wouldn't even notice anymore.
I was fucking fired up when that annoying bitch andrea was aiming her rifle at daryl. I was standing up yelling at my screen ready to explode if she killed him. will she listen to others for once! everyone was telling her not to fire, everyone else was already running up to daryl but she still feels the need to be a bitch and shoot. she so badly wants to carry a gun but has no fucking idea. for an inexperienced idiot like her to hit the target from that distance is a miracle. shes lucky she didn't accidentally shoot ricks balls of as he was running out there.
much earlier in the thread i said that the show is not so much about the zombies but about the people and their stories. this is still true but for different reasons. the zombies are barely a threat anymore. they may as well not be there as the people are doing a good enough job of fucking themselves up.
heres hoping the barnyard full of zombies fucks some shit up next ep.
one last thing, the close up graphic shots of zombies faces being smashed in are fucking awesome. kudos to the special effects guys.
-
let's hope daryl shoots a few of the survivors (andrea) and goes rogue, looking for his brother who is bound to come back with a vengeance anyway.
-
^^^I don't think Daryl will get revenge for his brother. After the episode last night, it seems he doesn't care much for Merle.
Last night's episode was good but Hershel pisses me off.
1. He didn't gather everyone to explain the rules of his farm. He expects people to already know the rules. He lacks good communication.
2. His daughter Maggie is fuckin 22, I'm sure she can decided who she wants to see. I hate dads that are over protective.
3. I was hoping we wouldn't run into this idiots that save their family and friends even though they're a zombie. Hershel is wasting time and resources to keep those zombies in his barn alive. If I was in a zombie apocalypse I would not hesitate to kill someone (zombie) close to me. They're not the same person, get over it.
-
Yeah I agree that he should lighten up and communicate better, but Hershel's christian fundamentalism is providing some much needed conflict. It seems like right now the show is focusing on everyone's morals: Rick being the white knight and wanting to protect everyone, Shane becoming more animal-like and violent (a lot like Rick in the comics), Hershel adhering to his faith and not wanting to kill the walkers/let his daughter have premarital sex, etc.
-
this show was obviously written by a fat white sexist male. I do enjoy a lot of the zombie stuff but the interpersonal relationships between all the horrible characters that i want to die are pretty unbelievable and painful to listen to.

then stop watching?

andrea needs to fucking die...fuck that dyke whore bitcfh
-
theoretically, i think its cool that they dont have full-blown zombie-action in every episode.
but its getting too slow now. since the last episode i was hoping that they just build up for a great turn, but right now they seem to be struggling.
-
zombies r scary
-
daryl is one tough SOB
-
What pissed me off nearly as much as Daryl almost getting killed by Andrea, was Dale telling her it was ok. Someone from the group needs to let her know she is a complete cunt.
-
They need to get shit going in the next episode, this is just kinda boring. I think I dozed during each episode and then would have to rewind to see if I missed any Daryl action.
same here.
-
I'm hoping the old man feeds someone (Andrea or that Gorden's fisherman guy) to the zombies in his barn next episode

they need to get away from that farm,.. take the farmers girl, leave the cunt
-
Someone on Twitter said it's turning more into "The Talking Living". Action at a minimum lately...
-
They can't have raging action in every episode. There has to be character development or else we wouldn't care when someone gets eaten (whether we cheer or get sad). I understand that. But god damn, I'm kind of with Shane on this - the whole situation with sitting around the farm, going out into the woods and coming back with nothing...it's getting annoying.
Daryl won't go get revenge for Merle. If anything, this just cemented the fact that Daryl is now embracing his new "family", especially when Sophia's stupid fucking mother came into the room and kissed him on the head. He's found acceptance and a purpose that he's never had in life before. He's still the best character on the show without a fucking doubt.
Andrea on the other hand, is the worst fucking character and I'm praying that she is pulled apart in the next few episodes. Maybe they can have her screaming for help as Dale watches, and she's torn apart ala David from Shawn of the Dead. Fuck her. She puts everybody in harms way.
I know that some shit is going to hit the fan with the barn full of zombies. I just hope they don't stretch it over the span of 3 more episodes. I'd like to see the character count go down a few.
-
I feel like either way that this Sophia situation turns out, it will be disappointing. Either she's dead and they wasted their time. Or she's alive and has been somehow eluding the rescuers for almost a week.
-
I'm hoping she got found by another, more violent group of survivors. That would be interesting.

i didnt think i would hate the show as much as i do now.... the pace is horrible, the characters have little going for them and its drifting too far from the comic....
-
Sometimes I just wish Andrea would die. But this episode, I wanted her to die all the time.
-
The pacing is off, the acting is terrible, the dialogue has me saying what fuck? Yet I continue to watch it.
Tell you what would've been cool? If Otis was the walker in the well as they were pulling it out, would've been a nice little twist.
Oh and find the fucking girl already!

Episode 6 is downloading.
Anyone else think the walkers in the barn are family members of Hershels? He said he didn't believe in killing them, and also stated that they had lost a few family members. Maybe keeping them in the barn, just so maybe one day they'll find a cure. Fuck knows.

They're his family and friends. Even if they found a cure their wounds are probably too severe for them to stay alive as a normal human.
Dale is all up in every body's business. He was pissed to find out Shane fucked Andrea lol.
If I was Rick, my option for the baby would be an abortion. I couldn't raise a child in that environment especially since Hershel wants them out.
Good episode this week, it's picking up. Next weeks episode looks good.
-
I keep saying to myself, "next episode will be good don't worry"
For 3 fucking episodes they have done the EXACT same shit, talk about the hopelessness of the world, look for sofia and sit around the farm talking about where to look for Sofia
Next episode will be good though
-
they better have found sofia in the barn or something cuz it's time for the pregnancy to slow the show down and deter from daryl's awesomeness and zombie killing in general.
kevin smith was awesome in the post-show. "i will kill you all with flesh bullets." ha!
-
At least something happened in that episode. Kind of..
Daryl & Glenn are the only likeable characters. Fuck everyone else.
-
I was about to say that, Glenn is really cool, the character has a lot of potential.
-
Glenn is cool. Glenn's involvement in everybody's bullshit isn't by choice, which sucks for him because everybody seems to just hurl it on him regardless. Dale on the other hand, just noses his way into everybody's shit. He fucked up by confronting Shane.
Disregard blonder chicks that whine too much.
Acquire the sword wielding african princess.
-
Acquire the sword wielding african princess.
...and jump into the Governor story arch immediately, without drawing it the fuck out like they did on the farm!
Also, she's gotta roll up like she did in the comic... with her man and the dude she was cheating on him with.
-
I gotta agree, her appearance was the best of any characters ever. "Ohhai I'm here with a samurai sword. Don't mind these two zombies that I've tied to me. Pretend I'm just walking two Great Danes or something."
-
When I woke up today I thought, "Damn, I missed Walking Dead". I see now that I did not miss much of anything.
-
The characters are a hundred times more annoying than in the comic. How the fuck did they mess it up so bad?
-
at least blonde chick was put to good use to relieve some of shane's stress

this show is literally the sperged out musings of this fat white piece of shit

-
This show fucking sucks. My roommates watch it and the other night I sat through about 15 minutes of it. It's like a soap opera that has zombies pop up every so often.
-
Yeah I heard that the show has veered completely off track of the comic
-
Not completely off track, but it's definitely deviating from the comic. The big thing is that Shane is still alive.. Highlight the red for spoiler shit.
-
^ Yeah but with Karl learning to shoot...
I bet season 2 will end with a "cliffhanger" of them finding a certain prison
-
When I first heard about the show, I couldn't figure out how they were going to make it work. Kirkman kills off pretty much everybody in the group in every other comic. It's gnar as fuck.
Shane is the most interesting person right now. Hopefully Michonne will show up soon.
-

It might happen soon. The tension within the group is growing, especially between him and Rick. They want to lead the group in different directions.
-
This shouldn't be a spoiler since it's relatively early on in the comic, but annoying blond bitch is actually pretty cool in the comic, and she was hooked up with Dale, who is also cool in the comic but not as agile of an old guy as he is in the show.
Really wishing they'd made these closer to the books.
-
Someone on Twitter said it's turning more into "The Talking Living". Action at a minimum lately...
was it "astonishing OG"?
-
6 episodes of looking for a little girl, the pacing of the series is horrible.... and andrea becoming a sharp shooter in 1 day? fuck that shit....
am i the only person who skips forward through most of the episode and only watches the parts with walkers?
-
...so anyway, how about that last Dexter episode?
Can't wait to see what happens next.

Nah, the comic does that. The show barely touches the excellence of the books.
Granted, he's on the team with the show, but it's not like he can throw the hammer down and have everything redone as he sees fit.
The REAL disappointment will be World War Z... I saw two leaked clips (recorded by an extra I think) a couple of months ago and within 20 seconds some of the shit that happens completely goes against the world the book takes place in. The narrative is going to be fucked up as well. Still going to watch it, but it won't be WWZ by any means.
-
Exactly! Fast zombies? What the fuck?
-
warning: thar be spoilers
i just caught up with the last ep. I had high hopes the zombies in the barn would break out this ep, but i guess not. however its about time the plot moved forward a little bit. that is, lori being pregnant and sleeping with shane finally revealed to rick. even if it was the last few minutes of the episode. finally the drama is actually drama and not just filler.
i'll keep watching as i know from the comics that good things are on their way but as the show stands now it is wallowing. there is practically no tension. it doesn't even feel like a zombie apocalypse. wheres the need to survive? the characters should be always on edge, always looking over their shoulders but as it stands now half the characters are treating the "threat" like its some casual everyday passing problem. things like trips back and forth to the drug store should be hair raising experiences but glenn and maggie set of on horesback like its no big thing. its a drugstore in the middle of a town, one presumes there would be heaps of people in this town who had become zombies, but i guess not. it should be more like shanes trip to the school. now that was tense. then there is shane and andrea casually stopping in the middle of the road for a quick fuck. they are not worried about zombies attacking their open and defenseless car because there is no threat!
-
I've finally got round to reading the comics and fuck me - they're about a million times better
I can only hope that they keep the prison/governor story arch's as they are amazing
In a way I'm glad I saw the tv show first, as I think I would've probably hated it had I already been a fan of the comics
-
Well, they found her.
-
this coulda happened like 3 episodes ago.
-
didn't they say that otis was the one who wrangled the walkers into the barn? then shane shot otis the first night.... oh shane...
-
Just watched episode 7. Siiiiick.
~SPOILERS~
I went from a Shane hater to lover. Dude stood up and took care of business. Thank fuck Sofia is dead.
Also fuck Dale.
-
Well now it can actually get good again.
-
i'm sure it was intended to be an emotional moment and all but i was cheering like a freak when that girl was revealed to be a zombie. both because the whole scene was freaking awesome but because it was the end of that never ending plot point. I was also psyched for shane at that point even though he was walking around like he had lost it for most of the ep.
there was a moment where glen was talking to maggie and he mentioned something about going down the well and how the walkers weren't scary anymore. this is ironic because I think this sums up most of the episodes so far. the walkers were not a threat and not scary.
-
that old man is fucking dumb

Haha, I was too. It was emotional/intense but I'm happy they solved it.
Dale is a fuckin idiot, just an idiot. I know he hates Shane but to put the entire group in danger because he doesn't want guns is fuckin stupid. He also cares too much about Andrea, let the fuckin bitch be. His time is ticking.
I really like the chemistry between Maggie and Glen. I don't know, it just seems real.
Shane's mental down fall is amazing. Dude is just insane.
Next episode looks good, too bad we have to wait until next year.
-
that was the season finale ?!?
-
Nah, mid season finale. The show will be back in a few months, I guess.
-
It's on mid season holiday hiatus. It'll be back on in February.
Dale is a complete idiot. He's an idiot for attempting to hide the guns directly after finding out that they're camped right next to a barn full of the undead. He's an idiot for not pursuing Andrea, but still belly-aching over her fucking Shane. He's an idiot for stepping to Shane without having the balls to pull the trigger. Now that Shane knows Dale doesn't have the stomach for it, he'll be sure to walk all over him.
Shane is losing his shit and I'm sure he'll get polished off soon. That much of a loose canon just isn't going to work out for Rick. And no, I don't think Rick will be the one to do it.
SPOILER ALERT
I'm really happy with how they tied up the Sophia saga. Finding her alive like a week later would've been too fluffy and hopeful for that universe. Finding her dead wouldn't have brought much closure to anybody. Seeing her stumble out of the barn as one of the undead was a perfect move. Also, I feel like bonus points were earned when Rick was the only one man enough to finish her off.
-
great, that was a good episode but its no season ender.
SPOILER ALERT
I'm really happy with how they tied up the Sophia saga.
same here. didn't expect at all that she was in there.
stoked for next episode, shit is about to stir up.
-
I wonder if Hershel knew she was in the barn, or if Otis put her in there before the others even showed up on the farm? Probably the latter.
-

That's not ironic. Like you said, he's summing up the overall theme from the past couple episodes. It happens in the comics too, something I'm sure they wanted in the show. De-value the threat of the zombies so once this threat becomes very real, they seem much more dangerous. They definitely spent too much time looking for the girl but her ending was awesome. And I'm hoping they fucking leave and jump straight into the prison. But I doubt it because isn't the gap between the farm and prison like, months in the comic?
-
^ Yeah, but continuity with the comic was gone a long time ago.
-
The best part was when baller ass Shane shot the walker Rick was holding.
I'm def backing Shane now. He's losing it a little bit, but you can't blame him for wrecking shop on the barn. It makes tactical sense. No time for spiritual bullshit in a world full of zombies.
I'm guessing a horde will show up at Hershel's before long.
-
As baller as Shane got, dude couldn't disconnect enough to pull the trigger on one of their own. Rick was the only one to sack up and do the right thing. They really love shooting kids in the show. Isn't this the 3rd or 4th kid that's gotten shot in the series?
-
Have you read any of the comics? It gets worse....
-
I've gotten into every couple of issues but I haven't read them consistently all along. I know if they follow some of the same plotlines involving the prison and the gov...shit is going to get WAY worse.
-
My thoughts for when the season returns are- After this barn massacre I see no reason why they will be allowed to stay at the farm. They will most likely get the boot and cute farmer chick will probably join the crew when they leave. Shane is going to lose it more and more as he watches Lori become more and more pregnant with his child.
-
Why would they waste bullets like that? the walkers are locked up in a barn, they should just stab them with pitchforks from the top platform inside the barn. Also wouldn't other walkers have heard the gunshots?
-
they should have just burnt it down

i wanna like this show, but its to boring. a few interesting twists in the newest episode, but everything is so elongated
-
Shit got real. Dave needed to work on his communication skills. He came off way too abrasive with Rick. Hersh is probably going to let them stay now that he sees that Rick chose to kill two guys in order to protect the farm (Spoilers. highlight to read). I was hoping they got off the farm, but it's probably insanely expensive to film them traveling from location to location every couple of episodes. I was hoping Ft. Bennett would be the show's version of the prison. Doesn't look like that will happen anymore.
Oh yeah, and I hope Laurie has a miscarriage because of the accident.
-
that was the first thing i thought of with the accident. baby dead.
the part with the philly dudes in the bar was kinda weird though, as much as i liked to see rick quick draw those 2 and waste em, under the shadiness the one dude basically the same as a shane or someone and was kinda dumb to come off so hostile.

I gave up on it. I know it's been mentioned before, but the comic series is SO dope and way better. After attempting to watch the second episode 3 times and falling asleep every time, I called it quits. Did it get any better?
It's going to have to gain some steam in order to get somewhere by the end of the season. This first episode had a lot of yappin and not much Daryl.
-
This one gave me some hope... still The Talking Dead, but Rick's actions are reminiscent (sans the implied hardcore brutality) of how he took care of the cannibals from the comic. Bringing up the comic is kinda pointless by now I guess, but it was cool to see him handle shit.
I'm gonna wind up watching every episode even if it becomes a comedy musical. I'll complain, but still. Fuck.
-
more daryl/shane, less blonde bitch/old guy
-
Started up again!
what do you guys think of the first two episodes?
-
Luke, you might want to tune back in, for this past one at least. All sorts of shit is about to hit the fan - between Shane & Rick about to go at it, the possibility of them going to war with a group of travelers and Carl gradually becoming desensitized to violence.
My guess is that in the next few episodes, Shane and Rick are going to go at it and Carl will off Shane from a distance. Andrea and T-bag are still the worst things to happen to that show. I wish they would just hurry up and die.
-
They should have killed the kid instead of bring him to the farm.
-
I fucking hope the rumor of that Michonne is going to make an appearance are true
Have to say though this episode was one of the better ones. Liked that Hershel got up in Shane's face
-
If it really does turn into a sort of hostage situation with that kid, shit could get very interesting. Pretty excited for the next one, for the first time in a while.
-
How shady was Lori at the end??? Whispering in Ricks ear about "taking whats his" just subtly saying "FUCKING KILL THIS GUY"
I was really surprised by that. Then again I hate her in the comics too
These episodes are solid, much better than last season
-
I feel like the creators of the show want us to have most(besides shane and ricc) characters evenly liked/hated. Asian guy, redneck guy had lame moments, blonde bitch and old man(perv not preacher) weren't their annoying as fuck selves in this one.
Was a good episode, I'd rather have better pacing though, instead of all action first half/all soap opera second half, but whatever. I agree carl is gonna stick his tiny dick in shanes ded mouth tho.

yah, i wouldn't have minded the last half of the episode if every episode was as good as this one though in terms of action. right now they really need to ramp up action for like 2-3 episodes to balance the season and a half of shitty dialogue and shit. no hard feelings brycikle i probably wont remember anyway. not sure if its beenp osted but anyone have a link where i can read the comics online? i know i should buy them but im really broke from just buying all my text books and paying rent haha

It'd be too difficult to build any character development that way. They'd essentially just be introducing people who would immediately get killed. The whole cast would be redshirts.
The other reason I think they're spending so much time on the farm this season is that it's cheaper to shoot. It'd be amazing if the show was them exploring the post-apocalyptic world, but honestly they couldn't pull a budget for that in the show's second season (if ever). It's just putting up with the slow parts for the pay off of the faster parts. Bike riding situation. Hills are super fun to ride down, but they go buy too fast. Hills suck to climb up, and they take too long to get over. Same thing with character-drama TV shows...except sometimes they show tits. They haven't done that yet though. :-\

i know i didnt get the point of the arguments if theyre just going to have shane continue to be an idiot. these episodes are starting to have too much drama, and not enough progression of the story as a whole. i want to know what their game plan is now that the fort they were heading to is supposedly overun, are they just going to sit and play house at hershels for 6 more episodes?

well played good donkey, well played!
-
i mean... i dont think you should have to spoiler warning shit on the show, don't read the thread if you're not up to date on the show
-
Once this season starts to pick up, there's only 3 episodes left.
Oh, Andrea needs to be killed. She pissed me off last episode.
-
I don't know. I guess I feel like the pacing is slow on the show. Almost like they're trying to build up to something, but they're not sure what. Or maybe they're building on too many subplots - I mean we have:
-Glen & Maggie
-Rick & Lori
-Rick & Shane
-Rick & the group, overall
-Shane & Andrea
-Shane & Lori
-Hershel & Maggie (somewhat settled)
-Hershel & Shane
-Lori & Andrea
-Shane & Dale
-Daryl & the group
-Daryl & Caroll
-Hershel's other daughter & a knife
-The group & this outsider kid
-...etc.
I understand their attempt is to show the relationships and conflicts that build in a group, brought together in a survival situation, but it's too much for people to focus on and they're jumping around too frequently. All that bullshit aside, they need to make some actual story progress because they've spent too much time spinning their fucking wheels at the farm.
With that rant, I'll conclude with this:
http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/Walking+Dead+Governor+David+Morrissey/6212239/story.html (http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/Walking+Dead+Governor+David+Morrissey/6212239/story.html)
That should shake shit up in the 3rd season pretty well. I'm wondering if they'll introduce the Governor as a leader of the group that attempted to raid Rick, Hershel and Glen at the bar.

YESS! i cant stand her over the top butchness and parroting of shane. like we get it, those two are the "take no prisoners" shoot first ask later guys.got it.moving on.
-
word, shes a fucking BITCH, i wish she would stop being such a fat annoying ho
-
She definately lacks the intangibles of shane, who is at least unpredictable. Its not even a 'love to hate' thing, I just wish she was written out like half the other survivors.

I say that's exactly what they'll do. I'm thinking that kid gets away or alerts the Governor somehow.
I think the show's done about a 145 turn. Still a little heavy on terrible dialogue but compared to the first half of this season, we're cruising. But I also agree that they need to progress the story faster. They need to progress it in the direction of the comic books, because (spoiler I guess but this shit has been brought up plenty before) what the fuck happened to the prison. It seems like they'll encounter the Governor while still at the farm, either pushing the prison down the line or just phasing it out completely.
-
they reeeeally need to get the fuck off the farm, but that seed was planted with Rick saying that they need something better than the farm at the end of this episode.
-
word that episode was probbably the best in i don't know how long however. only thing would have made it better was if rick was dual wielding pistols as he was riding shotgun in the car instead of just one
-
I would appreciate the Shane-Rick thing a lot more if the show would at least humour the possibility that Shane's approach is right. That one shot where he sees himself looking all walker-like in the reflection was so goddamn heavy-handed. I get that the comic's supposed to be all about Rick, but for how much the show tries, it does a really shitty job making you second-guess him as the hero.
they reeeeally need to get the fuck off the farm, but that seed was planted with Rick saying that they need something better than the farm at the end of this episode.
They'll get off the farm just in time for the credits to roll in the season finale, can't see it being any other way.
I did stumble across spoilers for the last couple episodes this season, though. Get ready for lots of Carl, that's all I'm going to say.

Would

yah, i wouldn't have minded the last half of the episode if every episode was as good as this one though in terms of action. right now they really need to ramp up action for like 2-3 episodes to balance the season and a half of shitty dialogue and shit. no hard feelings brycikle i probably wont remember anyway. not sure if its beenp osted but anyone have a link where i can read the comics online? i know i should buy them but im really broke from just buying all my text books and paying rent haha
Im sure someone will have a much more elegant solution, but I downloaded the .CBZ or maybe they were .CBR files then downloaded a cbr/cbz file reader

That's how I've been reading them too. They're up to #93 now though.
had that and the new issues in my stash for a minute started reading the all like 3 days ago. shit is amazing, completely getting me back into comics again. i'm up to issue 80, shit is intense.

I bumped this last week but I will bump it again.
Oh and to note if you havent seen the new episode then dont click this thread...
Well I was hopeing that this week they would start to leave the farm but at least it was sort of entertaining. Totally did not see that ending with Dale.
-

wasn't expecting that. Carl is starting to piss me off though.
They should have killed the kid, now they have to deal with him running away.
-
The whole episode I got the vibe Carl was gonna kill the kid, kinda like the younger kid in the comics.
Definitely didn't see Dale going out
-
Surprised they took out Dale since I thought the black dude would be next since they do absolutely nothing with him. He must be part of something later. I forget he's on there until he pops up in random scenes.
-
Wood
(http://www.laurencohan.com/images/photos/lc_general_2.jpg)
There, fixed
-
The entire episode felt way too slow. My lady was bitching about Dale the whole time. "Dale is awful. He needs to die soon. God, I hate Dale, he's so annoying" she said. Then, Dale gets a tummy ache and she's all "HOLY FUCK OH MY GOD, WHY?!".
Apparently she thought it'd be ok for Shane should take out Dale, but seeing him ripped open like a bag of Doritos really upset her.
-
Thank FUCK, dale is dead.
-
...if only they'd reenacted the leg indecent involving Dale and the cannibals. Not that they could have, since the back story on the show wouldn't have led up to it, but it was an epic moment in the books.
-
on another note, FUCK CARL, he is the new dale, as far as being the most annoying now
-
"he's suffering" lets wait till he pretty much dies to shoot him so his last moments of life are his friends pointing a gun at him for 30 seconds
-
Finally some peels talkin sense. Kill that stupid Carl!! O now u gon be tough! 3 feet aint close enough to kill a trapped zombie! Moron.
Also did not expect dale to go so soon, i liked him just he was a good actor. Thought for sure black man was gtn the axe before him.
-
Hot damn. The last episode better be two hours.
-
that episode was sooo fucked.
-
Fuckin A, this one was good as fuck! Finale looks like it's gonna be bonkers.
-
Two major plot elements from the book? Check.

FINALLY.
this shit was good.

Told ya!
I was pretty happy that Rick went in and knifed Shane himself. I think it's even better that Carl saw it all go down. Good. Try to sneak out and misbehave now you little shit. The farm is going to get overrun with walkers and they'll finally have to leave. By the way - this is the second time in two days that Carl has attracted walkers to the house.
I thought about it last night and honestly I'm OK with zombies cleaning house. I'd be fine with pretty much every character dying - Rick, Lori, Maggie, Big Hersh Stud Middle Name Mudd, T-Dog...etc. As long as Daryl and Glen survive, I'm fine.
-
Only was able to watch the last half of the episode last night, but holy shit. I can't wait to see the finally next week. Seems like shit is really going to hit the fan. Just read this interview with Robert Kirkman, some good hints as to whats gonna happen next.

-
That last scene was fucking poorly done. Carl just holds the gun at rick, while a zombie advances on rick from behind? Why wouldn't carl say 'hey dad watch out' or something, instead of just barely shooting over the shoulder of your own father into shane's head.pretty good first time shot for a kid too.plus when rick stabbed shane, one of the guns went off. Why didn't that attract the walkers yet carl's shot did?

Why didn't that attract the walkers yet carl's shot did?
i am not sure if i am confusing the comics and the series now, but i am fairly sure that they did get some kind of gun training?
-
I'm sure Carl has had some kind of time with a weapon (supervised), but to make a shot like that, under pressure, as a little kid whose feeble little arms could barely hold the weight of a loaded pistol...it's bullshit. It was done for dramatic effect so that we got one last little thrill of whether or not Carl was going to turn on Rick, for killing his (kind of) surrogate father, Shane.
It's not believable that he would make a shot like that at all. But if you're watching this show for it's gritty realism, I hate to tell you - zombies aren't real either. So the last thing I'm concerned with is Carl's odds of hitting a head shot under duress of saving his father.
-
Zombies are real, there's zombie bugs, just not zombie humans, but its conceivable. The show is definately going for realism, apart from the gore. still doesn't detract from my main points though.
-
yeah, if i want to watch something that is closer to my life, i watch californication.
-
I wasn't referencing zombie bugs. I was referencing zombie-humans. They are not real. They might be going for "realism" in behavior of characters, but you know exactly why they couldn't have Carl say "Dad, duck!". It's because the writers couldn't find a different way to build tension of the moment - was Carl going to execute Rick, or is he aiming at Shane? It's cheesy, yea, but it's a TV show. Probably 90% of the viewers could give a fuck about a detail like that. Nothings perfect.
About next week though - I read the leaked script, and to anybody that said this season went soft, better tune in for this coming one. Things are going to get messy. Grim is going to be stoked on a specific part of it.

yeah the shot by the kid was a litte over the top, they should have just gotten a better writer for that...
-
carl just proved again that he is an idiot that needs to go.
-
So no one has anything to say about the Governor coming next season? I can't fucking wait! That means Michonne too I'll bet!
-
it is old news, it was discussed a couple pages back!
Iam soo hoping for michonne!
-
I don't know how I missed that. Maybe I just thought it was speculation and not confirmation.
-
they should have stuck with the comic and have carl save rick that way....
finally things are getting interesting, old farm and the zombies swarming from all corners? brings back all those old night of the living dead feelings all over again
-
Lets make a death list!
I call Dead:
T- Dog ( puts up a great fight tough)
Hersh (same as T Dog)
Andrea
Carl
Glen or Maggie
+ everybody else on the farm that is just in the background
Live
Rick (duh)
Darrel (please please please)
Glen
Ricks Wife
Could be a nice twist if Ricks wife gives birth to a child that is not infected hence the possibility for a cure ( too far fetched?)
-
Live - Glen, Maggie, Daryl
Die - Everybody else. Including Rick. And when they decide to wrap up the show, whether it's cancelling it or writing the series finale, Rick better die. They can't just end it with him walking off into the sunset somewhere.
-
Rick is basically the only one that is safe,...

MICHONNE FUCKING THANK YOU

ive said it once ans ill say it again, FUCK CARL!!!!!

QFT!!!

soooo, when does the next season start? because if they keep going like this, its gonna be epic.
-
judging by the legs of that "hooded" person id say its a woman no doubt from the governors camp or watever, but really whats the point of dragging around 2 slow armless zombies...come on.
And am i mistaken or was this episode not labeled as the season finale when it clearly should be considering their not coming back until the fall?!

You didn't read the comics did you?
the chick is michone
The armless jawless Zombies are her boyfriend and her lover,...

She's the most bad ass character in the books.

Watched 4 episodes to finish the season yesterday
Is no one else stoked on the FUCKING PRISON! I cant wait for that shit. It was such a tease to show it at the end. For people who watch the show and haven't read the books, which I assume is most of the audience, I'm sure theyre a little more than confused with that the fuck happened at the end with Michonne. Im kind of stoked they introduced her how they did though, for those which haven't read the book, they'll surely go searching and hopefully start reading them, as they are 100% more legit than the show.
The finale though was a great episode, probably the best of the 2nd season. Finally got that feeling of helplessness from the group when there were 500+ geeks headed for them. Thats what the show needs to get back to, and no I'm not talking about all out action but when they are on the run, not hunkered down in some fucking barn complaining about the lack of bed space and going back to how things used to be.
-
The thing that always sort of bothered me about the whole prison scenario is, how did Hershel not realize there was one only miles from his home?
-
I saw a map of the locations once and I think Hershel's farm was probably 30 miles away from the prison. He probably just wasn't thinking about it. He had a lot going on.
-
MICHONNE FUCKING THANK YOU
My god damn heart.
My one concern about the prison is that with the time they spent at the farm compared to the books, the prison would equate to over three seasons or something. Nevertheless, I'm so damn excited for season three.
Just checked whose playing Michonne.

I won't img it so if people don't want to look, don't. Will probably be great, but there's this woman who was on Doctor Who and ever since I read the comics, I always picture Sophie Okonedo as Michonne. And then Michonne would have a British accent and that's just hot.

i was hoping for nearly everyone, but expected at least one main character to die, i figured that was the way the finale was shaping up, what with how fucking annoying and overdramatic every previously likable character has become. the best part was that hopefully rick is done with being mr good and starts losing his shit more and more. also the zombie fight scene was extremely boring and formulaic, there was no real sense of danger. also since when have all the zombies been spaced out so nicely, they used to walk in packs and now they each had 10 feet of space, which made it a lot less exciting than it could have been.
overall they are obviously going for something i dont get, because the show has definitely changed its feel from season 1 to 2, and its just getting worse. they should just say fuck it, kill almost everyone and start a new story with an almost all new crew who isn't full of bores and no interesting character development. plus the effects on the fire are so terrible it grabs your attention and takes you out of the show momentarily. this shit would be 1000 times better if it was on hbo.

hit reply without reading one word of this thread. started this series last night via netflix and it's quite intense. wound up watching the first season all at once. cdc just exploded and i'll continue with season two tomorrow morning. vatos locos!

i'm so fucking psyched for Michonne.

watch the show has made me realize how many characterless individuals there are on the show...

EVERYBODY!
Lori?
Come on, first she tries to get Rick to kill Shane, then riles up Shane be telling him the baby might be his. Then Rick kills Shane, savin the group,, and she goes mental!
I cannot start to exlplain how much she annoys me!

She went mental because it was Carl that put Shane down. Also, she's a woman, so she's mental to start with.

carl is just the worst character on a tv show that ive ever seen maybe. he is incredibly awkward, and also playing a role that makes no sense. the kid looks 8, acts 5 sometimes, and then acts 20 the other times. its not working.

That's kind of the whole point, no? He's in the awkward position of having to deal with mortality and the whole world going to shit at a super young age so of course at times he's going to act jaded beyond his years, but he's a kid after all.
The actor is fucking awful though.

if you're still complaining after the last three episodes, then just stop watching... fucking whiny-assed bitches... I hate people that incessantly pick apart every last detail of a movie or tv show. It's not the perfect show, but it's still better than 99% of the other crap on TV.

Well the show is pretty great, but it does contain some of the worst characters on a television show that I have ever seen. Thank god they showed the prison because I was getting pissed off at everybody whining about Rick.
-
seriously 'worst characters on tv you've ever seen'? have you not been watching basic cable television this past decade?
i agree, people are far too picky.just watch it and enjoy, if not stop watching it. there's nothing wrong with criticism and we dont have to like every aspect of the show but some people sound like hoes with all this whining and bitching god damn.
-
lori is just like a doorknob, everyone gonna get a turn eventually
-
This thread is for discussion, if you don't like it, don't read it. Oh wait that's a stupid arguement.the show has a good premise, the comics seem good from what I've read, what's wrong with wanting more from a show? Also I can't stop watching a show after seeing more than a couple episodes. It is sad that walking dead has more viewers than breaking bad or mad men though, those blow this shit out of the water.

mad men sucks tito balls

mad men sucks tito balls
Mad Men is one of the best television shows ever produced - and will hopefully remain so this season.
But more on-topic, is there any way someone could sum up what the Prison's all about in the comics without being super spoiler-heavy? I want to know what we're in for.
-
If they don't fuck it up, then shit will most certainly go off.
-
Basically they find an "abandoned" prison and section off some for themselves, rarely venturing to peep the rest of it.
Im pretty bummed the show is missing so many characters from the comics, or what the writers chose to omit/change.
From reading the comics, maybe im not far enough in, but so far I am not as enthralled with the Governor as everyone seems to be. Guys an absolute savage, ruthless, no real likeable traits unless you like rape and cheering for the bad guy.
-
Right at the beginning of meeting him, so naturally its hard to like him, right off the bat he does some fucked up stuff.
-
Oh man, he gets so much worse. I'm actually stoked that you're about to go through his part... after it my mind was blown. I agree with what Hate said a page or two back... there's no way they'll be able to get away with the level of brutality you're about to enjoy on AMC.
Also, the Michonne screen grab posted needs to be available in a poster size. I don't know if the upcoming episodes will get her character right or not, but that one scene fuckin' nailed it.

On a side note, I just stumbled upon this:

The Walking Dead as a game.. Doesn't look too good, imo!

Finally got to watch the finale I've had on the DVR. Michonne scene got me so stoked for next season as well as a change of scenery. Not sure who already knew it but Danai Gurira is playing Michonne.

did it for no real reason, just thought the armless jawless walkers on leashes were really cool so just converted that into a sorta sexy fashion styled shoot. And it's always fun to get girls mostly naked for a shoot, i figure people who get the refrence would be stoked and people who don't could at least appreciate a semi original fashion shoot.

She went mental because it was Carl that put Shane down. Also, she's a woman, so she's mental to start with.
fuck lori and fuck shane..he tried to rape her at the CDC as well as almost killing rick twice (second time it was either rick or shane and shane clearly had to go)... So far i have been satisfied with both season. Season 2 midway became shitty but it redeemed itself towards mid way to the ending. anyone here read the graphic novel? i just ordered the first box series off amazon cause i dont wanna wait til season 3. i also hear the tv series is slightly different than the graphic novel?

Yeah, there's a lot that's different... let's say the show follows the general story the comics do, but the comics have a lot more character development (you actually give a shit about them), there are characters that are missing, some that aren't in it at all, a number of situations in the show aren't in the books, and a shit ton is in the comic that isn't in the show. As with most cases, the books are a lot better... you don't get bummed on any of the issues the same way one would get bummed on an episode for sure.
Read the fuck out of the compendium when you get it... I doubt you'll want to put it down. Also, it won't make you be any less of a fan of the show, but it'll make you wish you could see some of the scenes from the books done on TV.

Also Maggie is in this show called Supernatural for a bit. Looking fine as hell and with a British accent. I remember some naysayers in here, but she is on the level of babe.

theres been a gaping hole in my tv viewing experience since season 2 ended. The sooner season 3 begins the better.
season 2 felt slow at times but i rewatched it recently all in one sitting and its pacing felt pretty good. much better than it felt week by week. i enjoyed it a lot more.

That looks like tons of the characters that've bitten it so far. Actually, yeah, because you can see Lori and the little baby arm poking out from Lori landing on top of her. Heard 100 is going to be pretty fucked up.

Yeah, should be awesome!

Issue 100. Whoa.

I'm thinking it could go two ways:
1)only some of the group have this immunity, the farm family might not have seen enough action to actually get infected
2)the only reason any of them are still not walkers is because they are all immune (while they're alive). This would explain the huge amount of walkers despite the fact that the military and shit were trying to take care of it. It seems strange when some small town cop can out-do well trained military guys

They are all infected with the virus, so they become zombies even if they die of natural causes. The zombie blood and shit to the eyes wont turn them, since they are already infected - the bite however is killing them, even if its just a small one, guess its poison running through the veins since it takes a while for them to die?

Don't think of it as poison, so much as the bacteria. It's like being cut or stabbed with a knife that has rotting organic material on it.

the new episode aired hours ago and theres no discussion here? poor form slap :P
anyways season 3 episode 2, I freaking loved it. It may not have the bang the first episode had but thats ok because this episode became dark and serious very quickly. Ricks conflict with the prisoners and how it was resolved was dramatic beauty. Seriously my heart was racing waiting for the situation to resolve. Next episode it looks like we get to see Merle and the Governor and I'm just a bit excited ;D

Rick has gotten so tuff after he stabbed Shane in the heart. He is the king of taking care of business, before he was pretty civil and nice and always wanted input from people now he just calls the shots. Great character, poor taste in women tho. Are they going to be doing like one ep on that broad and the samurai sword woman and then one back to rick etc? kinda sucky that way

If you don't get bitten, you die eventually , then change.

The Governor. He's cold and sadistic and completely two faced. Every moment he was on screen acting nice it felt extremely awkward as if he's hiding something which of course he is. I lost my shit at the final shot of the new episode.

Not trying to ruin it for anyone so I'm being real vague, but i seriously think the way it happened in the comics would have given more of a shock. This just didn't hold up the same in my head i guess.

holy shit.

Most redundant line of the week goes to Carl:
"YOU'RE KILLING HER!"
-
have to agree I would've preferred to see it played out the same as the comic, just to see how fucked up Rick was
Another strong episode though, plenty of killing and some hard hitting shit
-
That's still Shane's baby right?
-
I don't know I think the way it played out in the show is somewhat darker than the comic. Spoilers from the tv show and comic highlighted below..... I don't want anyone being pissed because they read this.
Loris blood is on Maggie and Carls hands as opposed to the woman who shot her and the baby in the comics. two main characters share that guilt. Add to that, Rick looked at Carl and figured out that he had to put a bullet in Loris head. So their relationship is pretty much fucked and I doubt he's going to look to fondly on Maggie either. Further adding to that Rick is now responsible for a baby by himself, who may or may not be his and is a constant reminder of every bad thing that has happened to him since the outbreak began. shits fucked.
at the very least it was far more surprising for me as I expected these events with Lori to unfold much much later as they did in the comic.

Never saw an episode but I might give it a go.

It depends on if you want other things spoiled for you because a lot of things happen in different orders between the two. The show might spoil parts of the comic and vice versa. The comic is far better, in my opinion. The characters are more fleshed out and likable so when certain deaths happen you actually feel for the group as opposed to a lot of deaths that happen on the show where you're just like "fucking finally!" (shane and lori). Plus the comic is way harder on rick than the show. It's just better so start reading up ok.

I'm always totally baffled whenever I hear somebody say they like the comic more than the show. Sorry to beef with your tastes, but I'd read a couple of the books before the show started and a couple after and was just too bored to continue. I found the dialogue terrible and the story arcs WAY too quick and unconvincing. And I have to say I feel exactly the opposite about the way the characters are portrayed in each. I honestly had no idea who half the characters were in the comic because they all look alike and the dialogue is so flat and shitty it's hard to distinguish between them. I think the show's pacing, writing, and attention to detail is infinitely better than the comic's.
This isn't to suggest those interested shouldn't read the comic. It will provide some interesting insight into the characters and story, as a lot of it unfolds differently, but still remains pretty true to who they are in each.
As a testament to how I feel about the show, I just burned through season 2 and what's available of 3 over the week, and I'm happy to finally be able to look at this thread.

i really agree. although I still do like the comic i do agree with your points. obviously not to the point that i dislike it. I think it largely comes down to the nature of the medium. the comic issues are quite short so they have to pack a shit load of content into each one to keep people satisfied for the next month or two. The show can linger a bit and build up tension because it can. tv shows can do that. I also feel i know the tv show characters way better than the comics. the comics have a lot of characters that come and go and often far to quickly. To quickly to care if they live or die.
some key events such as loris death felt to me like a bit of a non event in the comics. There was no build up, no hint that she may die. it just happened and then rick was sad, ok next. Compared to the show :'( yeah i felt the tears brewing, no shame.... Shanes death and confrontation with rick was fucking huge in the tv show. Two seasons worth of brewing emotions. But the comic in my opinion had no where near that level of tension.
So I agree the tv show is far superior but I still feel the differences, to a point come down to the nature of their respective mediums.
edit: I hear some die hard fans complain that the show deviates from the comic. different doesn't necessarily mean bad.

glenn's gf is soooo gettin raped next episode

A lot of people expecting that things are still going to shape up like the comic, but they've already diverted from the comic road so far. Rape is a very sensitive thing to put on television, even for AMC. Best guess is, it'll be Merle instead of the Gov., and it'll be a heavy grope session or almost an "implied" rape, if you will. Something Glenn and the audience will hear through a wall, rather than show on TV.
My guess is, I feel like the writers are trying to split the psycho/crazy shit between both the Governor and Merle. I feel like they'll try to build up a divide between Andrea and Rick's group by giving her a romantic link with the Governor, while Merle will be doing the raping/dirty work that makes everybody grumpy with him.
Carol is as good as dead in this season. We now know that there are definitely some affections shared between her and Daryl, but I doubt this will be explored. My forecast - Merle executes Carol during the Prison/Woodbury battle, which sends Daryl over the deep end and causes him to obliterate Merle.

Hah. You were almost spot on with the rape scene, except for the fact that it was the Governor after all and ended up being an "almost rape" instead of an "implied rape" which I guess was a bit too strong for a show that regularly shows both humans and human-like zombie creatures being disemboweled in various creative ways. Hooray for America and its repressed sexuality/scary addiction to tv violence!
-
i read that they actually shot a hardcore rape scene with real penetration and amc rejected it and made them rewrite it, fuck censorship
-
i knew deep down that it wasn't going to happen, but part of me thought they were going to show dem titties.
episode was pretty weak overall and i think they should have been more gnar with torturing and raping n shit. weakest one so far this season imo.
-
i also love how andrea has information about the disease from the cdc but all she can tell the dude was 'DERR DEY ARE MONSTERZ', just kidding i didn't love that because andrea is a dumb fucking cunt.

i agree. it felt like it was a set up episode for the mid season finale next week. which will be huge, so all is good.

i really liked it that michonne didnt simply fall into their arms and is a welcome member of the crew right away but doesnt trust anyone.
andrea will be the reason why they get in trouble as soon as they enter the village, she will fuck it up somehow and hopefully be killed.
dramatic brother fight as well? or too obvious?

That's a thing that I don't understand about the show. The writers could easily tie-in past information without killing off story arcs by just having Andrea say "Hey...we were at the CDC and this doctor showed us an MRI FLAIR of an infected brain, and that thing is totally dead.", but they don't.
This episode was a little disappointing, but I realize not every episode can be super exciting. This one is kind of trying to build tension for whats going to happen in the mid-season finale. These mid season finales bum me out. I really wonder what they're going to do with this next episode, with Rick and a few others all leading an assault on Woodbury?

yeah what is with that? are they going to stop the season mid flight and continue later probably around january or something cuz that's extremely lame

These mid-season finales...if their goal is to get me to lose interest in the show/story arc and then have to try and win me back every few months, it's certainly working. They've already given us two of the most unlikeable female leads in the history of television and and entire season of "the talking living". I don't know how many more shits I have left to give..
-
This season has been excellent so far. I don't even feel the need to bring up the 8 episode game of hide & seek that they played in season 2. My only complaints about this season are the stupid mid-season break, Maggie not unleashing those tits, and Andrea having any screen time at all. Other than that, this season is rad.

A lot of people expecting that things are still going to shape up like the comic, but they've already diverted from the comic road so far. Rape is a very sensitive thing to put on television, even for AMC. Best guess is, it'll be Merle instead of the Gov., and it'll be a heavy grope session or almost an "implied" rape, if you will. Something Glenn and the audience will hear through a wall, rather than show on TV.

No. It just kind of showed that they followed noise and move in a herd. They kind of followed the helicopter, then just kind of shambled around for a few weeks until they heard the shot, then walked that direction to find out what it was. They by no means tracked the helicopter. They just wandered and happened upon the farm.
Also, if you're bumming on spoilers, don't come into a thread discussing the show. The comics and the show are different, and all of which is discussed here.

I was fucking yelling at the screen at the end of the finale. "this is your time to step up Andrea, do something right". She better act.

At least they introduced 2 new ones! I can't wait to get attached Cutty just to see him get killed off 2 episodes after appearing! That episode pissed me off though, they go in to get their guys and leave one? Nothing was accomplished.

In the sneak peak for episode 9, The Suicide King, she tries to run out and tell the governor to fuck off about Merle and Daryl, but some of the governor's goons stop her, then she breaks through, and the governor's all like, "I can't do anything now, the people have spoken." So it looks like she's finally trying to redeem herself.

That has nothing to do with everyones hatred of her.she is just a brutal actress, and has a face that's part bovine and part feline.her redemption will be her death which has to involve facial mutilation.

She reacted quite well to the heads in the fishtank. I like how she barely questioned it.
Also have a feeling I'm not gonna like the new black girl.

There seems to be only room for one black dude per group. T-dog dies, replaced by the prisoner dude, prisoner dude dies, replaced by Cutty

Well put. This half season shit is annoying, but I'm really excited for the next half. This season is already 100x more exciting than season 2. Plus they're covering more shit that I really liked from the comics, so that's fun too.
-
Stoked about Tyreese, everything else was terrible.
And what exactly is Michonne's motivation to go out of her way to kill a guy she is vaguely suspicious about? They have no history. What are you doing grumpy? Leave the guy alone pls.
I agree the comic has some terrible logic and conversation as well at times, but it arguably also leaves you some space to interpret. You can't spend pages and pages on intricate facial expressions, so you just put a blunt sentence every now and then. The show doesn't even leave a single blow to the head unshown when really they should consider toning it down. Headshots are great, but used way too inflationary. I get it, you have after effects. But then again, I also enjoy not watching porn too excessively so occasionally joymii will do it for me and not only tentacle porn.
I just think the show could achieve a lot more depth with very simple means.
comic spoiler:
Also, are they keeping the governor a bit more humane so Negan eventually will come across insaner?

Robert Kirkman said on the Talking Dead, that he wanted the Governor to have a few more layers to peel back before going full crazy. On the show at least.

I think it was a brilliant move. In the comic he was just crazy. While good i love the way the show is handling it so much more! we meet the governor when he is somewhat normal. he is still a bastard but he has another side to him, one good push however will send him over the edge.....
Now he has been given that push and things are about to get wild.
When his zombie daughter was killed I didn't know what to think, I felt bad for him! I know he is supposed to be a villain but here I was feeling bad for this guy. it was confusing!

governor hip firing that AUG was hilarious
Rick going full person talking to Hershel was funny as well

i dunno...i feel like this show is just shitty but i still watch it every week as soon as it comes out...the acting sucks and everyone is dumb. i don't even care who lives or dies...well i do care if andrea dies because i hate her

you would think in an apocalypse situation people would take a little more care before they popped one off. nobody's making any more bullets, guys.

seriously they open the scene with a dude getting shot in the head from a few hundred yards and from then on no one can hit the fucking broad side of a barn with fucking SCOPED military grade rifles that they are supposedly awesome at using considering they can hit zombies in the head from heaps far away...such a dumb show, i'll still watch though

At this point, it was a no-brainer to them that he's more trouble than he's worth. Even at the end, when they see his corpse they express no regrets, just pick up his stuff and leave. Maybe in season one Rick would have helped him or even cared.

It just goes to show that even Rick, the leader, is so desentisized and fucked in the head that it didn't even matter anymore. Pretty much what any normal human being would end up after going through all the horrific bullshit.

She wasn't. Morgan said himself that he put her down after she attacked Duane.
I feel like everybody missed out on the fact that the wall said "Duane turned", but Morgan didn't say he put Duane down. Other than that, super good episode. It helped develop Rick a little bit more for this season and we got to see more character development for Michonne. I'm thrilled that they didn't show Woodbury or Andrea at all in this episode because unless they're going to war immediately, they have no reason to show Woodbury. I'd rather they keep Woodbury off screen, so when there is an attack - the audience is just as surprised as the group living in the prison.
-
Anyone think they are going to play off that Erin walker, she had a bracelet on with her name? There was a sign about Stone Mountain and the name erin was on it in the beginning, it was subtle. But it seemed like it was there for a reason.
-
I think it ended there and then. More of a means to show hope cut off immediately. They tried the same thing with Sophia in season 2 and it didn't end well. If they saw it in season 2, they probably would have gone to help find Erin, but since they've come so far since then, they just moved on like they did with the backpacker.

Yeah. You know a show sucks when the best episode is one that is a side story (i.e. last week's episode).

This show went from semi decent to shit with this last season. I don't get how they can ruin this that bad.

Daryl looked like he was straight up about to make out with the Newbury thug at points, obviously seduced by his bat twirling.
Pretty shitty episode, they're dragging out the inevitable conflict way too long. Still nowhere near as bad as watching them shoot the breeze for episodes at a time on the farm last season though.

the comics could never translate as they are to the tv show. between the different mediums it just wouldn't work. if the show was as fast paced as the comics it would be stupid as fuck. Hell sometimes I think the comics are too fast paced.
Personally I enjoy the slow burn, I don't want to see never ending gunfights and gore, that gets tiring after a while too. When they get to the end shit will hit the fan.

I've watched every episode up to the break in December. Haven't been excited enough to pick it back up. I'm a sucker for anything post-apocalyptic, but the writing and acting are poor at times and most characters have little development. Like how many episodes was T-Dog in? Yet you never learned anything about him, and when he got killed it felt pretty anti-climatic. So many episodes seem like mostly boring dialogue scenes, with a few minutes of gnarly shit, and a cliff-hanger ending. Like landCow said, constant gore wouldn't be any better, but that's doesn't excuse poor writing and acting.

It was funny with T-Dog because you knew as soon as they started giving him a few more meaningless lines each episode he was a goner. I feel like that was the big problem all through season two though, they had way too many characters to give any of them decent development -- it still kind of feels that way. You don't really have any reason to care about Glen's relationship because you go without seeing the farmer's daughter (whose name I can't even remember) for entire episodes. Likewise for Carol, and even Carl.
I wish they could have just made it a small group of well-developed characters on the move, no more than 5 or 6. They could still interact with other survivors and shit but I just don't see any reason to drag the show along with more than a dozen characters when half of them don't mean anything to the viewer.
-
This last episode was really painful to sit through. There is no way they can have a battle big enough, with enough character deaths, that would justify this sort of stagnation on the show. I honestly don't think they should even have the war with Woodbury on the show. In the comic you can pop characters without notice and it's fine. In the show, you have a different audience and characters played by human actors with contracts. They can't let go of 50% of their cast in one episode or people will lose their minds.

Carl, Rick and Michonne are the only ones that survive to escape the prison.. In the comics at least
-
Glenn, Maggie and Sophia also survive the prison assault in the comic, but Sophia's already toast on the show.

I honestly don't think they should even have the war with Woodbury on the show. In the comic you can pop characters without notice and it's fine. In the show, you have a different audience and characters played by human actors with contracts. They can't let go of 50% of their cast in one episode or people will lose their minds.
I'm pretty sure they negotiate contracts on a season-by-season basis, but I could be mistaken. I think we could potentially be in line for a major shakeup. At least I hope so, they really have been spinning the wheels for too long.
-
well, they keep building up and up and up, just like last season.
and i dont like that one bit. at least this episode had some action, because thats what people like, eh?

They do. That wasn't really my point. My point was that the audience that reads the comic is prepared to lose a multitude of characters at the drop of a hat. The show's audience is much broader and would go absolutely crazy if they killed more than half of the cast in one episode.

This is getting boring as fuck.

i like how the governor turned into the punisher
-
Is anyone else excited to see what the Gov does to Andrea in his rape dungeon?
-
Glasses guy is clearly has the hots for gov'na.
Saving grace for the episode was the end, misfortune on Andrea is always welcome here.

It's too bad that she'll probably get saved :-\

man i was hoping the governor killed the fuck out that bitch tonight, each episode makes me hate her more and more and yeah the sad thing is she will get out with only a few scatches.

The pacing on the 2nd half of this season has just been the worst.

I had it hard for her early this season, Maggie was on some Xena shit until the Governor raped that ass :(

ZOMBIE MERLE!!!!
-
Oh man :(...........
damn it
-
No Andrea and very little Carl... that's a solid episode in my book.
-
i wonder if the walkers pussies still fuckable?
theres a couple of zombie movies floating around which address this. a few zombie porn flicks too haha.
oh man the new ep. Merle was a dick but he was on the verge of turning around. I should have seen it coming honestly. As soon as they flesh his character out a bit they kill him of. make us care then take it away.
one more episode to go!
-
would, would, would, would.
one could even say i would go to would-bury with her.
goddamn that one sucked, i am sorry. new episode was good, but the whole "character gets air-time, gets killed"-thing isnt the best idea.

I feel like the Governor disposed of Merle way too easily. You'd think a sturdy redneck with a blade for a hand would present a bigger challenge. Good episode though, just not looking forward to the inevitable 20 minutes of screen-time Andrea's going to get in the ol' torture chamber in the finale now. It's going to be pretty rough to watch her try to appeal to the Gov even though their relationship made no sense whatsoever.
-
Noooo Merle was just getting so much more awesome!!!
-
I'm doubting this will all be resolved in a single episode. if the governer isn't dead at the end of next weekend I'm gonna have a hissy fit
-
i hope the governor rapes the shit out of andrea.

They're going to end the season without the battle. It's going to be a gigantic disappointment.

Daryl loses an arm

fuck yeah, Andrea. weak finale, though, they are really dragging this shit out.
-
Production trolled the shit out of us during last 4 episodes. Glad they are getting a new writer.

terrible season finale wtf
-
FUCK DAMN IT.
ANDREA IS FUCKING DAMN IT DAMN DAMN. AS MUCH AS THAT BITCH IS STUPID, SHE WAS GOD DAMN IT
-
well that was disappointing... Not that a shoot em up battle would have been anymore satisfying, but jesus they better have some serious reasons for dragging this shit out.
Season 1 had normal people in a desolate world with zombies roaming around. Now it is a group of unrealistic and boring people sitting inside a prison arguing. AMC dropped the ball by firing Frank Darabont

I second this.
-
I thought they were gonna try to at least be somewhat true to the comics and keep Andrea alive.. but I guess not.
I'm very, very, very much wishing the whole Negan thing happens.
-
this show is so bad that they managed to turn the episode where the worst character dies into one of the worst episodes ever
-
Yeah. I really wish I didn't see that whole thing. It just didn't make any sense.
-
what didnt make sense? how andrea died for no reason? i liked how everyone was expecting them to kill the governer but really they killed the actual worst person instead. im thinking it wasnt scripted and halfway thru the season the writers were like 'fuck, forget the governer, kill the dumb bitch'
-
Things that didn't make sense:
-Gov's assault on the prison that resulted in immediate retreat after being fired upon by two people.
-Not using the grenade launchers that you used in the beginning, on the two people firing upon your group of 25.
-Gov massacre'ing his own people. I realize they might've done that just to show he's unhinged, but it just didn't make sense.
-Tyreese flip-flopping sides every other episode.
-Rick & others just accepting the group of people from Woodbury as their own in the prison.
-The Gov's story-arc not actually coming around in this season. Very unfulfilled but not in a cliff-hanger sort of way. It just felt like they ran out of steam and bullshitted this season after a few episodes.
Andrea dying was the only thing that actually worked about that episode, but it should've happened a long time ago.

Agreed! I wanted Rick to at least confront the governor this season. I think that was the biggest disappointment in the finale.
Also, for the guys who read the comics, how far along is the show in terms of the comic books? I know they have to keep some plot for the next seasons, but are they taking it a little slow?
-
So so so glad Andrea died. Might be a bit of an exaggeration, but in my mind, she is up there with the worst Actresses/Characters on TV of all time.
But yeah that finale fucking sucked. Just like the AMC show "The Killing", they are going to drag this out and milk it for all its worth.
Carl went buck in that episode, was really surprised when he shot that kid. But the kid looked sketchy as hell, like he'd turn the gun in an instant.
I hope Rick loses his hand soon. That better fucking happen.
-
I drank to Andrea's death. I hope you all did the same.

They're flying through the comic book pretty fast, but, they change a lot of shit and dont keep it true to the comic thankfully. I'd think in 2 seasons the show will be past the comic...if it lasts another 2 seasons. I'm guessing they aren't gonna cut off Rick's hand now, hopefully Carl still gets shot in the face.

I could not believe how stupid it was that they were all gung-ho blowing up towers and shit and then they decide to walk into the suspiciously quiet and dark prison; as if creeping through the halls and opening doors in the enemies camp is a good strategy.
the writers should have just went with rick and the gang getting the governor's group into the prison and locking them in with walkers or something. they could of even had the governor and his two main guys escape while everyone else dies, rather than the governor shooting up his own group.
bottom line is that they needed to end the prison setting and governor arc, but instead both seem to be in play for season 4. We need more open spaces instead of isolated environments like a cell block, a farm, or woodbury.
-
a rather disappointing finale, at least andrea is gone... i dont know why she stopped doing everything to talk instead of talking and freeing herself at the same time... at least she sucked until the very end
the governor might have just driven off into the sunset...
new writers and a scene change would be nice...

I just don't understand why Glen and Maggie couldn't hit a single person in a fucking turkey shoot.

I am dissapoint
Really not sure why as I knew the finale would be a let down, I was hoping Andrea would eventually turn into badass sniper chick but at least she's gone now.
Hopefully we'll see the Guv'nor again and next season and he can be the mentalist that he should've been from the start
-
They had so many options. They picked the absolute worst possibly scenarios for this finale. I feel like they could have kept Andrea at Woodbury the entire season - bringing her along for the assault. She would've realized she was firing upon her old friends after she shoots & kills somebody like...Herschel or little blonde girl, and then she would just turn on the Gov. They had to fuck that up by putting in the regular plotline of Daryl getting captured for 18 seconds.
There was too much back and forth in this season. It was repetitive as fuck to go from the prison to Woodbury for Glenn & Maggie, oops we left Daryl there. Let's go back to Woodbury, then they come here and shoot up the prison and kill Axel. Then back to Woodbury to give Michonne to them, but then they storm the prison and retreat - so let's go BACK to fucking Woodbury again to find Andrea shredded and still acting like a dickhead.
The writing hasn't always been outstanding, but whoever is responsible for the latter half of Season 3, deserves to get punched in the throat and kicked in his/her genitals. I can't see how they will take any decent direction with this show in season 4.
-
the governor needs to die in the first episode of the next season so they can hurry the fuck up and move on. the last season was like watching paint dry.

This would have been sick and actually would've somewhat followed the comic's ending for the Gov.
Can I just say that I love how Rick and Glen look? They dress like new age cowboys or something you know? And their hair is killing it too.

Nope I liked it. Plenty of things happened, a couple of dead humans and a ton of zombies during the supermarket scene. Plus I am very interested in knowing how Milhouse died.
I'm noticing people are "comic book guy" critical of this show. The way some people talk about it they expect 40 minutes of straight violence.
-
i've come to accept that it's different from the comics. once i got past that i've been happy with it.
-
Other than Rick not blasting that obvious crackhead immediately, it was a good opening. Its obviously setting up for some fucked up "who done it" shit that's going to be pretty hype.
-
You gotta love the Wire reunion this season.
-
while i found it extremely boring, there were a few things in there that got my interest piqued.
i'm assuming the zombie-juice or whatever is getting into the water supply, which is how that wonder years looking kid died. THIS i like.. because that means they will start turning on the inside, and get everybody out.
basically for this show to get exciting again they have to get OUT OF THAT GODDAMN PRISON! for the sake of keeping the show interesting.. i'm just bored to death of the prison. this whole "council" thing... and why is Rick getting rid of weapons? who arrreeee these people??
and everybody's haircuts are getting a little too hip
-
i never wathced this show but its so unrealistic like wtf
-
Nigga do you want a show about zombies to be a PBS documentary?!
-
just saw the first episode of the latest season. pretty good but not the best in my opinion. i wonder if they'll skip the whole safe haven thing and just have negan's crew attack the prison. i agree with a few others here how they just had the governor walk away and give up basically. i really hope all the people who came to the prison from woodbury reveal more and more about the governor and his operation at woodbury. i read that their bringing abraham in which im glad about. also loved seeing D from the wire- speaking of the wire i feel how they got cutty to play tyrese was really dope!

This series is depressingly average considering the subject. At least we have the

I'm pretty pleased with this season so far. Season 2 blew it for a few episodes, and season 3 had a few duds too. I want to see zombies getting killed and action, not Maggie and Glenn kissing and a baby in a prison. People on this show are being too nice.
I'm going to sound like an asshole; most of the characters aren't pulling their weight and are just a burden, after a while you need to give up on them. If I was Lori I would have aborted that baby. The male characters and Michonne appear to be the only ones capable of surving alone.
-
This show sucks, man. Nothing ever fucking happens - same shit every week - the Governor seems promising but I'm sure they'll find away to fuck that up - plus I heard he was leaving to star in another show so I'm surprised he's still around.
Les Revenants is a much better dramatic television series about people returning from the dead. It's one of the best this year, along with Breaking Bad.

this season has definitely picked up the slack since last season was such a let down. i've enjoyed every episode, except the first.
i think Herschel's gonna get it on Sunday... they've been focusing on him too much the last few pre-governor episodes.

they all die except for rick, daryl, carl, and that hot chick.
i hate the guy they got to play the governor. not intimidating at all.

Really? I think he's pretty great. When I really think about it the governor in the comics was a pretty shallow cartoonish super villain. I like his character in the show far far more.

Hershel!!!(http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/damn.png)
-
Well i figured Herschel was going to die because he was actually a cool character. Seems like that episode was thrown together at the last minute, maybe due to the Governor actor leaving the show.
Michonne should have cut out his other eye and leave him to die. That would be miserable, being completely blind in a zombie apocalypse.
The prison should not have been that difficult to defend.

this is what i expected last time the governor came to the prison. kinda surprised tyreese lived.

Zombies are the most overused, played out, boring concept and have been for a very long time even before The Walking Dead. I'm not surprised the show has nothing to do with them, its literally all been done a million times over.
That said I don't think the show is anywhere near as bad as the internet would have you believe. Not great but not that bad.

I never read any reviews or this thread and over the last month and a half of unemployment, I just watched all of the seasons. I'm glad to know people hated Andrea as much as I did. Also, I echo the car wreck situation. The amount of unrealistic and improbable events is astounding, but I have fun watching it. It probably adds to it that I'm drinking a few beers while watching.
I did enjoy when Rick went into zombie mode and just bit a fucking chunk out of that dude's neck. And the most comical part of the season finale to me was when there's about 10 people shooting at the 4 of them with many in a rooftop position and not a single fucking person got shot and then they try to justify it by someone saying, "I think they're aiming for our feet."
I do have hope for some sort of bloodbath coming with that fucking ginger macho army dude getting into some crazy shit. They prefaced something going down by him and Glenn's little scuffle and him saying that he loves fighting.

Ridiculous luck in gunfights is kind of a staple of the show, so I'm probably wrong, but to me it looked like the shooters were herding them to the "A" doors, as if Rick and crew have a use to the Terminus people alive. The shots looked like they cut off paths so they had to follow a different route. That and the weird candle gym looked like some sacrificial business at work. I'm probably overanalyzing, and I didn't get far enough in the comics to know, but that was my thought.
Obviously, I still like the show enough to keep watching. Season 2 was my personal favorite.

The shots looked like they cut off paths so they had to follow a different route. That and the weird candle gym looked like some sacrificial business at work. I'm probably overanalyzing, and I didn't get far enough in the comics to know, but that was my thought.
Obviously, I still like the show enough to keep watching. Season 2 was my personal favorite.
i don't read the comics but i think it's pretty fucking obvious that they're being kept alive for feed. think about it, that place would be overrun if they didn't have some kind of 'population control' and the first thing they do is offer everyone a plate. maybe if you taste the flesh they let you be one of them and if you regret it then it's in the fuckin oven you go!

There is a split second when you see a heap of spinal cords in the middle of a courtyard. I think they were corralling them for food too.
-
Yea, I definitely think they want them for food as they quickly showed a cutting room floor with suspect meat, but I guess that makes sense about just herding them to the crates. All I need is for Darrel to get his crossbow back and I'll be happy.

rick biting the jugular vein was awesome!

jup, i guess terminus is the tv shows version of the "hunters" posse known from the comics. so ii guess next season will be like "fight a battle at treminus" and afterwards " let's bring that science dude to washington"

you don't think the 'hunter's posse' was that posse of hunters that were gonna rape karl? just my outsider's observation. i might sound conspiracy theory but when they entered terminus rick dropped 2 guns but when he went to the boxcar it appeared he only dropped ah gun so i think they may have a sporting chance to shoot their way out. i admire their resolve cause i'd be shitting a brick.

I just caught up, so sorry for bumping the old thread, but did no one pick up on the foreshadowing of Rick showing Carl how to lead a rabbit down a path to be snared, for food, in the beginning of the episode? They don't just throw stuff like that in there to kill minutes.
-
Okay so I guess I will hesitantly bring this topic back...
After being quite disappointed by last season, i have to say the new season has been great so far. It's only 2 episodes in, but definitely intense. First episode had one of the only moments of the show that I actually had to cover my eyes, and although it's a tad predictable, still some great storylines unfolding. Rick starting to get all Shane.
You know you all still watch this show.
-
Negan smashes Glenn's head in
-
For every episode so far in the new season I've been eating as I watched.
Not good.
-
i decided i'd start watching this show again, went back to the second half of the 4th season where i stopped watching. i couldn't help but think it was absolute trash, i'm wondering where my mind state was when i enjoyed this show, maybe all the weed smoking used to get me through it.

Did anyone notice the new Grant Taylor ad with him ollieing the bump to bar? That looks like the building from season 2 where they go to dump that kid off from the other gang and Rick and Shane get in the fight. I know they film a bunch in Atlanta so it would make sense it's the same place, anyone know for sure or even noticed that?
-
I'm stoked they're back in an urban environment.

I'm all caught up with the 7 episodes I had saved up this season.
I can't be the only one here who's enjoying Rick's ruthless and violent streak this season? I mean when they slaughtered those cannibals execution style, I was was pretty stoked.
Still a lot of things that bother me about this show though, constant wasting of bullets, complete lack of discretion by the characters, i.e. never really looking behind, being loud as fuck, etc. The zombies have essentially become just a minor nuisance by this point though
-
The season premiere was insane. I'm glad they finally took it up a notch.
-
Don't know if anyone caught the end of Fear The Walking Dead but it looks pretty similar to a spot Daewon has skated a few times. Maybe the same? Maybe in the same area?

So far this season has been pretty good. I'm glad they filled in Morgan's back story in this last episode. And killing Glenn? Whoa. Also, that Preacher trailer made it look like it may actually work.

I watched all 6 eps of Fear the walking dead today . Id kinda given up on The walking dead but Fear was pretty damn good .
Ill give the show another chance I guess . But Fear seemed to be much better . Anybody agree ?

yes season has been solid so far, even the last episode which I usually dislike (the ones where the focus on one character when there's a million storylines you wanna see) I really enjoyed. Was bummed about the goat.
-
Glenn better be fucking dead. Last season they pulled the Glenn-possibly-dead, but then not. I don't want to see that again.
But it did look like the suicide fell on him, and the guts were from the suicide. But all those zombies and him screaming. It only takes one bite.

i don't know... to me it just seemed like there were too much vagueness about his death. the way they showed the guy fall on top of him, they didn't show whose guts it was.. plus it wasn't a very dramatic ending for such a main character. usually when someone is killed or gets bit you definitely know, this had too much of a "maybe?" for a main character.
and yeah the whole Glenn is not dead again thing would be silly... so I hope they come up with something.

I don't remember that trailer scene from the Preacher books, but it's been a while since I read the first few. I'd welcome a departure. I like The Walking Dead show better than the comic, and I was often turned off by the occasional sci-fi leanings and shock for shock's sake in Preacher.
Why are people in question about Glenn's death? It seemed pretty obvious to me, but the reaction has me questioning it now for some reason.
-
Glenn is dead. Long live Glenn.
-
**Spoiler**
Glenn (or rather the actor) has been seen on set filming by people and the producers have said he will still be apart of the show. Something along the lines of “in some way, we will see Glenn, some version of Glenn or parts of Glenn again..." whatever that means. And I may be thinking too much about it, but usually when a main character is killed they're brought onto the show after called Talking Dead, and homeboy has yet to make an appearance.

You're probably right. I don't think he was on Talking Dead, and the actors are usually on TD when their character dies.
But if he's not dead, I hope it's more than "I was covered with guts, and the zombies heard a sound, and walked away, so here I am"
-
Yeah, but that wouldn't be unlike other situations in the show where characters escape death. As far as suspension of disbelief goes, this is par for the course. It's the cliffhanger aspect which is annoying.
-
yeah, the theory is he is below turd-boy's body and it's not him getting ripped apart.
-

Too ambiguous so it's too obvious that he's not dead. If it were really the death of a main character, especially one that's been there since episode 2 of season 1, they would've had some sort of memoriam on that fucking dumb after show, as well as the actor making the talk-show circuit. Even worse, instead of continuing forward with the plot, we take a 90-minute backtrack that is Morgan specific right after the episode where Glenn "dies", instead of an immediate follow up. He's fine.
-
That's dumb.
-
Glenn had that flare gun, I bet that will come in to play!
-
glenn made it through that effin tunnel in pitch black... and made it through that revolving door fiasco....and made it through the woods after getting shot.... he's tough.
also, with everything the remaining characters have gone through, I feel like they wouldnt even yell/scream/whatever if they get eaten. I think they'd take a deep breath and be all "phew. finally dont have to worry about that anymore."
-
I think its dumb but I really don't think Glenn is dead. I think the show is trying to pull one on us but failing hard in this instance. Despite that and Morgans episode this season has been pretty damn good. Morgans backstory had to be filled in but I am pretty disappointed it was some bad karate kid inner peace journey. It was pretty dull and Morgans outlook is going to get people killed.
-
cant you guys just check the comic book if he is dead or not ?
-
The show hasn't followed the comic very accurately and at this point is a total parallel universe.

I was hoping dead since another bluff seemed lame. But they handled it well. Just stab a few heads and you're safe under a garbage can.
Why doesn't the same strategy work for Alexandria? Just be quiet until the horde wanders off?

Last Sunday's episode was probably one of the best, imo. You guys still watching or has everyone given up on the show? I think this season is going to be nuts with the whole Negan thing just waiting to pop off.

I'm pretty sure that the shot of Coral with the missing eye was framed the exact same as in the comic.

I'm still watching... I thought the first half of this episode was really good. Although I kinda knew what was going to happen (i had heard about the comics), it was still pretty exciting. Pretty raw to see that little kid get eaten. I was a bit bummed that Jesse girl got it, she was a babe.
The second half got really cheesy though, especially when the crew went nuts and took on 500+ walkers without one death. There were too many moments of them getting out of danger, which makes the show seem corny. Oh, and once again Glenn almost dies but no.
I will keep watching, though.
-
I knew that Daryl and company wouldn't let Neegan's henchmen punk them like that. In the comic's there a few encounters with Neegan's henchmen (the saviors as their called).
Overall it was a decent opening to the second half of this season.
-
this was probably the best Walking Dead episode
Can someone explain to me though how Carl's eye came out so clean? Obviously not "clean" but the only part of him that was affected was his eye, and that doesn't make too much sense to me if he's being shot.
-
so what'd ya'll think of the season finale? I knew they weren't gonna show who got hit? who'd you think met lucille?
-
Even though it started slow, I thought that has been a really great season...
but I was fucking PISSED at that cliffhanger last night. The entire season was a build up to this moment and everybody knows from the comics who gets killed, but we all wanted to see if it was gonna happen. Now we have to wait until October. Kind of a cheap way to end it.
-
considering the whole season built to the introduction of Negan - it was a fucking pisstake at how they shortchanged the viewers.
I already like Negan much more than Rick - and to be honest considering the multiple death teases we've had recently I hope they fucking brutally kill someone that is not expected (and don't follow the comic)
-
This would have been a good mid-season cliff-hanger, but to wait six months?
No. let us mourn for 6 months.
But, please zombie-god, let it be Maggie
-
I am very sick of this show.
-
After watching it a second time (had to watch with my girlfriend), and after getting over my initial anger of feeling let down by the ending, that was actually a pretty awesome episode. it was intense the whole way through, and the final scene with Negan's intro was pretty awesome. I'm even starting to re-think my position and think it was a good way to end the season? Maybe?
Odds are it's Glen, but who thinks it could be somebody else? Maybe Abraham, cause he was getting all mushy earlier in the episode.

Yeah I had a tough time watching that one, particularly the Glenn scene (partly cause I wasn't expecting it at all... i figured abraham was the one, and partly cause it was really gross).
Well, happy to say I'm pretty excited to see what's gonna happen this season. I really hope they don't draw it out like they did with the Governor.

SPOILERS
In the comics, Negan is the longest running villain (he's still in the comics if I'm not mistaken), so this story arc is going to go on for a while. But at one point in the comic they hold him in prison and retake their lives or something so he'll still be in it, just a little differently.
On the topic of the episode, I think it sucked they killed two main characters. Should have been a major and a minor character. One of them should have been a woman too, I feel like that makes him look even more ruthless.
And I know they do it for ratings, but I think they went a little overboard in the Glenn scene. Too gruesome. And imo they shouldn't have shown it was Abraham while Negan does that "you can scream, you can cry" monologue, it took something out of the scene watching him sit there, especially since it goes on for a little. They should have shown it was him right when he hit him.
Also, why would Negan choose to kill Glenn? Tactically, that's a bad choice. He saw how much he would do for Maggie, he could have used her as craaaaazy leverage to get him to do stuff.
-
They just leaked the alternate death season. Negan kills Maggie and Glenn has an outburst and gets killed. That would of been way gnarlier. Abraham with the best last words ever. "Suck my nuts".
-

Because even in the comics Negan pretty much has a soft spot for ladies and children. He's ruthless as fuck to dudes. That's why he didn't pick out a chick to beat to death.
As for how brutal it was, I'm glad they didn't censor it. It was brutal in the comic, and it was brutal on the show. Good for them.

Episode was pretty good for the build up. I like how Eugene acted overly cowardly and lied about being a scientist again. Also that interaction with Dwight at the end.

so them constantly killing zombies isn't repetitive as opposed to other enemies with different story lines? if thats what they did feature people like you would complain that its just a repetition of humans vs zombies thats been done over and over again.
its been said again that the title of the series "walking dead" is a literal reference to the human beings on the show themselves...

Yeah the show definitely has it's stale moments, but I've very interested in what's happening now.
