AMC has delivered some great shows in the past few years in Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Rubicon. I just learned that they're bringing forth a new series called "The Walking Dead".

I have been waiting for something like this to sprout up. I'm a devout Living Dead fan and cannot wait for October to come around so I can start catching these episodes.

From the director of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile and the producer of The Terminator and Aliens. This debuts Halloween.

WOW :yikes:

Here I was thinking this about the 1st BN 9th Marines (http://www.thewalkingdead.org/).

It's just another stupid zombie movie....:doh:

Exactly what I was thinking. My dad was 1/9 way back when.

It's just another stupid zombie movie....:doh:
Not a movie.

Not another $500 cheap stupid zombie flick either.:popcorn:

Cool! I will have to set my DVR to record the series. I like my zombie movies also!

I'm pretty excited about this new series too. I hope it's good. I need something while waiting for the new Spartacus episodes :)

Oh yeah! Looks good! However, they borrowed heavily (i.e.stole) the whole waking up in the hospital thing from 28 Days Later (a great movie).

Wouldn't surprise me but it could be quite the opposite. This story is actually based on a long-standing comic book series.

Nevertheless, multiple ideas are borrowed and used. Rarely is an original thought or idea generated these days. Supposedly, this series is going to deliver some of that.

Yeah looking forward to this, Oct 31 is a good night to show it!

Reminder: This premiers this Sunday night (Halloween night).

Venn back to another thread " Venn, just curious was that sharpening stone needed for Jebediah to sharpen a sickle and scythe ."

So, what did you guys think?

What a crazy start. I thought he was almost done for in that tank scene. Jesus!

It was pretty good.

Question: Do you think he had any connection to the zombie with half a body that he put down near the end?

Question: If YOUR wife/husbande were a zombie, could you shoot them in the head?

Question: Would you have split up like the main character and the father and son did in the show?

Question: Would you have deliberately traveled to a major city during a zombie epidemic?

I found myself whispering when the zombies were outside the house and wanted to shush up the characters who were making noise. I FELT that tension. This show was well done.:yay:

No, I think he felt sorry for partial zombie

I sure as hell could. I have seen a few zombie flicks where the one you know comes back to bite ya in the azz.

No, splitting up is usually a bad idea. So is firing a gun from the house you and your son holed up in.


Nope, everyone knows that is a sure fire way to get yourself in trouble. However, should you choose to do that then be sure to ride in on a big ole horse for the zombies to munch on while you make a getaway. :deadhorse:mad:


I loved The Walking Dead and cannot wait for next week.

1. I thought he just felt sorry for it. That is based on the fact that he went back to put it out of it's misery and said "I'm sorry this happened to you."

2. If I had to I would definitely. However, I would rather run away.:lol:

3. I probably would have stuck around with the father and son. Strength in numbers and I hate being alone.

4. Hell no. Although, that was awesome. Almost like a Western rollin' into a big town on horseback.

:shrug: Hubby asked me to set the DVR for Sunday from 10:00 - 11:30. When the first episode stopped, he had just shot the zombie lady. Then a new one came on. I figured it for a half-hour series and the premiered it on Halloween by showing 3 episodes? We only watched a bit of the 2nd one, then it was our bed time! :lol: We'll take up tonight where we left off. If you have Comcast On Demand, check to see if they have it up there yet. Otherwise, maybe I can set up something to sell tickets!!! :jerry:

Oh, whew. I did see it all then. I guess I did not realize how long it was when I was watching it. You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun. :killingme Thanks for the info.

It was pretty good.

Question: Do you think he had any connection to the zombie with half a body that he put down near the end? don't know ...

Question: If YOUR wife/husband were a zombie, could you shoot them in the head? yes ... don't know if they are suffering in that condition, but I could not bear for them to continue that way ....

Question: Would you have split up like the main character and the father and son did in the show? In any Zombie Apoc. there is safety in numbers (L4D anyone) ... and I would only split if I was trying to find family member and they were staying put ....

Question: Would you have deliberately traveled to a major city during a zombie epidemic? NEVER ... in this context, the man has no Idea where his Wife and Son are ...........

I need to download Ep 2


Nuts it is on every Sunday ........ not 6 nights in a row :faint:

Watched it thought it was good, but am confused about walking dead type stuff. They are dead, but they can hear gunshots, they stumble but don't run too well, but if you are running in front of them thay can see you. Now the one that the deputy killed in the park looked pretty munched up when they catch you do they eat you, if so how come there are so many of them that don't look like her? Don't get me wrong liked the show.

Great show! Good tread questions...


and just for grins...

DOUBLE TAP!

Hi. I have no accredited degree in Zombie Studies...BUT....

Zombies aren't dead. They are undead. Somewhere in between the living and the dead. Thus, they can see, hear, taste (blood and brains preferred), touch, and smell (not sure on this one).

I presume they walk slow, stumble, and are generally not graceful is due to the fact their bodies are not truly alive, thus everything is not working 100%, from a nerve impulse and muscle aspect.

Do Zombies feel physical or emotional sensations? Good question. As a general rule, it appears that most (99.99%) Zombies experience no physical or emotional senation. However, every once in awhile, you will see a Zombie expressing some kind of emotion (like the Zombie in the business suit, who, we can tell, is smarter than your average Zombie).

And of course, it varies from picture to picture. In George Romero's Zombie-verse, Zombie do express a sense of loss, frustration, and even anger when their fellow Zombies are killed. Again though, not all the Zombies show this penchant for feeling, just the "smart" ones. Maybe their brains are more alive than their fellow Zombie, and they can feel more.

In other movies like 28 Days Later (awesome movie BTW), the "Zombies" move faster. But, in the case of that movie, they are not really Zombies, but infected with the Rage virus. So forget them.

I think we could talk all night about what Zombies are meant to represent. And I would bet there is a lot of content on the Internet to read.

Some think Zombies represent the mass market culture, that's why many Zombie movies take place in Shopping Malls. The Zombies naturally head their as some sort of instinct, and the survivors go there for refuge.....and lattes.

Later,
LCS

Thank you LC, i have been a long time fan of these show Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead Sean of the Dead, have not seen 28 Days Later will have to put it on my list. Hope the rest of the series is as good as the premiere. Revealing my antiquity here if i am not mistaken i first saw Night of the Living Dead at a drive in movie theater before they all went out of business.

Shawn of the Dead is......wait for it.....LEGENDARY. So funny.

I remember Drive-Ins! And......There are still around! I saw one last month up North (i.e. New England States).

LCS, have you seen Dance of the Dead? I liked that one.

Hi! I haven't, but I immediately went to IMDB when you mentioned it...


Dance of the Dead (2008) - IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0926063/)
On the night of the big High-School Prom, the dead rise to eat the living, and the only people who can stop them are the losers who couldn't get dates to the dance.

Sounds funny and got mostly good reviews. I will check it out when I get the chance.

And now, I feel, we really need a Zombie emoticon. Let's start a petition!

:killingme I take what I can get with zombie movies. Any others that you like that are not that well known?

Is a not so well known and Zombie Strippers was at the exchange, I have not watched it, but I wanted to Add it to my Zombie movie collection. I recently saw one set in the Cowboy western theme called "Wanted Dead or...I don't remember the title, but it was Kind of funny, but not like Shawn of the dead! Then there is one on Comcast :dead:Fearnet, Fear Itself movie series called New Years Eve I like.:dead:

Has anyone seen The Horde aka La Horde? It is a French zombie film. I really enjoyed it. La horde (2009) - IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1183276/)

Was channel surfing last night and saw a replay of episode one of the walking dead, and it was followed by 28 Days Later. Caught the beginning of 28 days later but fell asleep, it looked pretty good too wil have to try to catch the rest of it

DON'T FORGET TO WATCH TONIGHT!!!

:popcorn:

I thought episode 2 was just as good as the first episode. I liked that the main character was not trapped in that tank for the entire episode. I like that there are smart folks (that asian guy). He's obviously seen his share of Zombie movies and knows how to survive in a Zombie infested world.

Set me straight on one thing: In the camp, is the buddy cop sleeping with the main character's wife? If so, what's up with that? Does she think he is dead? If so, it looks like the main character gets to that camp next episode.

I also like that there appears to be more to the story of the racist handcuffed on the roof. And he has some kin at the camp as well.

And apparently Zombies can smell! Though I could not help thinking about the scene from Shawn of the Dead.........

And, can you really wipe Zombie guts all over you without getting infected?

I am eager to hear all your thoughts on this episode......

The wife and I are were laughing about that because of the same thought. I was waiting for them to discuss walking properly, etc...

I am guessing they are following the idea that unless blood gets to your blood, you probably won't get infected. HIV Zombies... :biggrin:

So I was in Vegas last weekend and didn't get to see it obviously...but I watched last night and then caught episode 101 this afternoon on AMC.com

I feel like the guy banging out the cops wife is kind of skeezy...I mean I know they are boys and all, but when he was asking him about his wife in the first episode it was kinda akward.....I feel like maybe he was doing it with her before the whole shooting incident? I mean how long was he out? Even if it was a few months that seems like an awful short time for her to be banging out his partner...

I think the wife and buddy have been shackin' up way before Rick got injured.

Rick seems to be a born leader and I can see some tension arising when he takes hold of the camp of settlers. The settlers clearly don't like the way his buddy is running the show and his buddy isn't going to like Rick just coming in and naturally taking over.

Should be great drama!

I wonder if we are going to see anymore of the man and his son that took him in at the beginning. I wonder if his zombie wife will come back into play.

I agree with BL. I think the buddy and wife were doing the do before he got shot. I enjoyed the ep and I was laughing at the same Shaun of the Dead part.

I liked it i thought the smearing of the guts on them was a pretty good touch. I too thought of Shawn of the Dead on that one. Glad he didn't get stuck in the tank too long at the beginning. Can't wait for him too show up at the camp with his ex partner and his wife hooking up. Not real sure what is going to happen to the dude handcuffed on the roof don't really care if he just disappears or not.. Not sure if these zombie people have some kind of residual memory and if he is turned may remember where the camp is. Wondering if the first two survivors the dad and kid will reappear or not. All and all thumbs up really like it.

All and all thumbs up really like it.

I wondered the same thing.

I finally got around to watching the first two episodes this weekend. For the most part I liked them.

I was hoping they were the fast zombies, like in Romaro's remake of Dawn of the Dead, but these are kind of intermediate Zombies, not as slow as Night of the Living Dead, but not as fast as DotD.

I was kind of cofused about how the lead character survived in the hospital without fluids or food for what looks like a week or two, and how he managed to not soil himself that entire time (plus, since when do nurses let you where your boxers under your hospital gown?).

The special effects are top rate and the action non-stop, all that I like.

How come when the LC was trapped in the tank, he didn't just start up the tank and get out of dodge in that armored zombie crusher? I've never been in a tank before let alone started one, but are they pushbutton start or require a key? That would have been my first priority. Also, I noticed a loaded fifty caliber machine gun on the top of the tank (or was it the humvee) and that would have cleared a lot of that zombie mob.

So far I give it two thumbs up.

So here's a question...

...could you or would you cut off one of your own limbs to get away from impending death and doom?

So here's a question...

...could you or would you cut off one of your own limbs to get away from impending death and doom?

That hiker cut his arm off at the elbow with a pocket knife....I guess you never know what you are capable of until you are in the situation.....

I think if I was in the situation where it was "impending death and doom", I would cut off a limb to get free...especially if that impending death and doom consisted of being munched on by a crap ton of zombies.

I wonder if we are going to see anymore of the man and his son that took him in at the beginning. I wonder if his zombie wife will come back into play.I thought he shot the zombie wife?

I thought he shot the zombie wife?

No...he couldn't do it....he got the rifle, baited them all out and couldn't pull the trigger...

No...he couldn't do it....he got the rifle, baited them all out and couldn't pull the trigger...
Indeed.

I think we'll see those guys again. One of the reasons Rick is going back to Atlanta is to retrieve the walkie talkie in the gun bag. The walkie talkie is used to communicate with the father and son.

I'm also guessing that the guy with no hand took the bag of guns and is gonna go to their camp and raise Hell...with one arm no less!

Don't tell me anymore. I didn't see last nights yet.

So here's a question...

Here's a question right back at ya: Why wouldn't you hacksaw through the handcuffs???

Episode 3

The Walking Dead - Episode 103 - AMC (http://www.amctv.com/originals/The-Walking-Dead/episode-103)

I liked that the lead character (LC) found his wife and kid so quickly in the series.

I like trying to figure out if the buddy cop is good, bad, or just stupid.

I like that they hint that the zombies are encroaching on the camp.

I DON'T like that there are only 3 (can that be true) more episodes left in the season.

The Tempered Steel of handcuffs, even with a brand new hacksaw you probably wouldn't do more than break or dull out the blade...

I liked that the lead character (LC) found his wife and kid so quickly in the series. It's better than a two hour movie.

I like trying to figure out if the buddy cop is good, bad, or just stupid. All of the above. He saved the wife, kid, screwed her and hoped the hubby was really dead. He did appear happy when his friend returned.

I like that they hint that the zombies are encroaching on the camp. Already happened. Didn't you see it eat the deer? I heard a mention of one can of beans left and they had no luck catching frogs.

I DON'T like that there are only 3 (can that be true) more episodes left in the season. Mini-series.

The show is well done. I'm looking forward to the next episodes.

I havent got to see any of the episdoes yet but they are being DVRd, so when i get a chance i can sit down and watch them :yay:

I would have cut the soft steel all thread rod, not my wrist .....

I would have cut the soft steel all thread rod, not my wrist .....

Thats what I thought when I watched that episode.
Unless for some reason he thought the arm would be faster than the rod..
Spare the rod, spoil the arm.

Holy ####!

:lmao:

Yeah, that was quite the episode.

Where the heck is Merle? He can't be up to any good.

Someone got bit! Guess they are gonna keep it a secret.

Does wife beater taste like chicken?

They can't stay there anymore. Mooooove Ouuuuut!

2 more episodes left. Wonder if they will end it on a cliffhanger.

:lmao:

Yeah, that was quite the episode.

Where the heck is Merle? He can't be up to any good.



I don't want to go watch it again, but I might. How did Merle get back inside the building? They had to cut the chain that led back into the building to keep the walkers off the roof where Merle was cuffed. The broken window did show that he had left the building, but how did he get back in?

OK everyone help me with my mathe here. First off love the show and think it is great. Math question, when the WD attacked the camp, obviously Ed is gone and needs a bullet, which i am sure most of the people ther would have liked to do to him before the attack, will not miss him at all. Young blondie girl is gone and needs a bullet, too bad liked her much better than Ed. I thought while all the fighting was going on i saw someone else get bitten, who was that? Were 2 or 3 survivors bitten last night and if so who was the 3rd one? And who knows where Merle is and what he is going to be up to. It's too bad the cavalry got back just a tad too late. I did not realize they were as close to Atlanta as they showed last night. 2 Thumbs up great show.

Pretty sure four or first e were attacked.....dude with the screwed up face....the lull sister...and I saw a Guy and another girl get attacked.....extras

I don't want to go watch it again, but I might. How did Merle get back inside the building? They had to cut the chain that led back into the building to keep the walkers off the roof where Merle was cuffed. The broken window did show that he had left the building, but how did he get back in?

If my memory serves.....I think they followed Merle's blood trail down a fire escape (side of the roof top) and into a lower floor window, then past 2 dead zombies, then to the stove where he cauterized his bleeding stump, then to a broken window, where they debated why he left the safety of the building.

OK everyone help me with my mathe here. First off love the show and think it is great. Math question, when the WD attacked the camp, obviously Ed is gone and needs a bullet, which i am sure most of the people ther would have liked to do to him before the attack, will not miss him at all. Young blondie girl is gone and needs a bullet, too bad liked her much better than Ed. I thought while all the fighting was going on i saw someone else get bitten, who was that? Were 2 or 3 survivors bitten last night and if so who was the 3rd one? And who knows where Merle is and what he is going to be up to. It's too bad the cavalry got back just a tad too late. I did not realize they were as close to Atlanta as they showed last night. 2 Thumbs up great show.

I thought I saw the buddy cop get bitten......

I wondered if some of the Hispanic guy's family were bitten. Didn't see cheater cop get bitten. Isn't he complaining in the preview about them keeping the sister's body?

Yes, here's the trailer. But I still think the someone got bitten and ain't saying.

I don't.

The big bad cop was with the group the entire time. Nothing came close to 'em.

I figure we'll see an influx of new characters to keep the show interesting. It was nice to see them build up a character at the beginning (fishing scene) and kill her off soon thereafter.:evil:

ok guys and gals, here is a video clip of the zombie attack on the camp. I still think another survivor got bitten. Maybe the hispanic guy not sure. Cant paste the link correctly go to this lnk and click on the video Zombies attack survivors.

Well, yeah. A lot of people were bitten.

They're all dead though.:lmao:

So someone else DID get bit!

Will we see him again in his Zombie wear?

I can't wait to hear why there is only one guy left in the CDC?

Where's Merle?? He done R-U-N-N-O-F-T!

There's only one more episode left. Then we are looking at about a year for some new ones.

"I think I'm gonna' blow my brains out, tomorrow. I haven't decided."

I think he's gonna turn out to be a tyrrant.

I frickin love this show, disappointed that there is only one episode left though.

I think he's gonna turn out to be a tyrrant.
He's probably gone half mad. I think he sees them as either potential lab rats or gatherers of lab rats.

I frickin love this show, disappointed that there is only one episode left though.
Supposedly there are 13 slated for next season.

I can't wait. I'm buying all the volumes of the comic and will read them to help tide me over. The story line is supposed to be more dire, gory and dark.

I had bad zombie dreams one night from too much Black ops Zombies piled on top of The Walking Dead episode... :lol:

He opened the door. :popcorn:

I just thought it was a good quote.

I think he's gonna turn out to be a tyrrant.

But he's outnumbered. And watching the preview, I got the impression that the facility was going to be over run by Zombies. Way to lose a great hide out, gang!

I frickin love this show, disappointed that there is only one episode left though.

WORD!

He's probably gone half mad. I think he sees them as either potential lab rats or gatherers of lab rats.

Just because he's paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get him. In the preview for the next show, he is shown taking blood from the woman whose sister died. And she's saying something about 'how can I be infected without being a Zombie?' I just hope it's not too much of a cliff hanger. I've read it isn't, but you never know.

I had a bad zombie dream too. I wonder how many people across the USA have had them......

I think he's gonna turn out to be a tyrrant.

He's probably gone half mad. I think he sees them as either potential lab rats or gatherers of lab rats.

I think he's going to use them as lab rats, that's why he didn't want them to come in.

Bet she isn't. Of course this is her first BIG role since Prison Break so its not like she's the star, but I think she's one of the survivors.

I'm wondering what's the lifespan of a zombie? They can't be finding that much to eat so how are they staying "alive?

O I agree, but it is just another tool for the box, and how can you not hit anything with a cross bow? They are like shooting a shoulder fired long gun for the most part. I mean most of them have some kind of optic on them for cryin out loud.

Here's my question. Way back in episode two, the deputy pockets a grenade he finds in the Chieftain Tank. I keep waiting for him to pull it out and use it, he has has several opportunities where it would have come in handy. Did the director forget about it or is it being saved for future use?

I hope we don't have to wait til next season for Rick to realize his buddy was getting it on with his wife while he was "dead".

I read book six last night. Pretty dark. The television show makes significant departures from the comic. That the living are more dangerous than the dead seems to be a central theme, and I'm assuming the television show is heading in that direction, albeit via a different path.

I was kind of disappointed when I found out it was based on a graphic novel...but was encouraged when I found out they were breaking off in a lot of spots.....I always go out and read up to find what is going to happen next and I feel like now I won't ruin it for myself.....

I'm pretty sure he left it behind.

When the Korean kid asked him what he had, he said only a pistol.

For you all that like this show, there is an online book in PDF form called "lights out" I got it off the frugal squirrel website.... really really good.

Lights Out, by Halffast pdf (Update) (http://www.survivalmonkey.com/forum/reading-room/3-lights-out-halffast-pdf-update.html)

Well looks like he got it published now and is asking people to take down the PDF file of it. Anyway if you can find it somewhere for sale, it is worth the read.

Anyone read World War Z?

I heard it was decent and asked for it for Christmas.

Never shot one before. I doubt I could get the bow set, shoot accurately and shoot again without getting bit.

Just gimme a glock or something.:lol:

Read that several years ago. Definetly a good read. If you get a chance, pick up the book 'One Second After'. Another EMP based book and really really good.

Probably everyone interested in Zombies knows there are the Left 4 Dead games out there.

Right now, (1900 Sat), they are both 20.00 dollars on steam. I picked up L4Dead I on steam for 9.97 a few months back. They run specials.

Also there are L4 Dead custom maps you can download and install to keep it interesting.

So, if you like Zombies, and shooting Zombies, and shooting Zombies with friends (voice chat too), pick up these games on Steam.

This could get interesting, may be a plus or minus.

Yeah as the CDC was blowing up I was thinking, "Oh, what a complete freak coincidence that they get there 36 hours before the building explodes.....

My theory is still alive though. I think Rick and Andrea shack up eventually and Rick's wife dies eventually.

Well the axe nor the shotgun even put a ding int he window but the grenade at the base of it can shatter it to smitherines.

Interesting side on the name of the show, i read this on another WD forum, and hadn't really thought of it. The name of the show "The Walking Dead" does not refer to to the the Zombies, it refers to the Survivors. I have not read any of the walking dead comics or books, but i do like the show.

Yeah! I just hope the show stays good.

AMC cut the budget and fired the producer who was doing an excellent job.

I got the DVR programmed... hopefully it won't disappoint.

:cool:

2 more days!!!:starcat:

I was a little disappointed. Usually when you make a 90 minute premier, you usually don't just add 30 minutes of extra commercials.

The story wasn't bad, it seemed to start very strong. The herd scene under tr cars was pretty intense. Died off the last half and became a tad stale. Strong ending, hopefully it's a good season!

I loathed all the commercials but that's what this is all about, the mighty $. That's why AMC fired the producer and cut the show's budget.

If they go through the story by how the book goes, it will be a very good season.

That ending freaked me out. That kid is about the same age as my son :ohwell:

Echoes my sentiments. Toes were curling as the "herd" walked by with the folks under the cars - but almost everything else had me bored. I'm curious about one or two developments - running into other camps of survivors, and finding out why the zombies "herd".

I was surprised that they all had some sort of footwear on. I would think the shoes would be the first thing to go, either when fleeing zombies or after you change because of all that shuffling and foot dragging.

The books answer many of your questions and are a lot more violent than the show.


As described by Dr. Eugene Porter, a herd is when zombies act with a mob mentality. One zombie might brush his hand on a doornob and another will see this and mistake it as an attempt to get in. Then he will beat on the door to get in, and the first zombie will see this and try to get in. This will spark a chain reaction.


It can be hundreds or in one case in the book, thousands of zombies all herded walking almost aimlessly together.

Just found out about this show yesterday... watched some previews and went through their website so I picked up the first season and need to see what it's all about.

:buddies:

I thought the show is based on a comic book series?

Well, a set of graphic novels, really, which are, in most folks minds, oversized comic books:) I know the Lexington Park Library has them, we got them from there. The backside of the new release shelves

I thought the show is based on a comic book series?
Yes, they are. There are so many that you can buy them all in a series of books, which are excellent.

As I said, the show won't nearly cover everything in the books. This group goes through 10x more violence, sex and death than this show can imagine.

That's it! I am buying the books! :howdy:

I started to read the books but decided to wait because they differ alot from the show....and I have really enjoyed the show thus far, and don't want to start getting disappointed in it.

I mean.....no Redneck Ninja

Through the year of waiting from last season to this one I read most of the books. It's good to read them in the downtime of the show. You can keep your interest fed at least.

Shane killed Otis because it was the expedient thing to do. Shane knew that they both couldn't survive with their injuries and he choose to save himself over Otis. The audience may forgive Shane somewhat because Otis only appeared in two episodes and he clearly isn't going to be a main character in this incarnation of the story. But if Rick had been with Shane under the same circumstances, I can almost guarantee that Shane would have killed his friend in the exact same way.

What Shane did doesn't automatically make him a villain, but it does make him exceedingly more dangerous to the group. Now that Lori has offered Shane the brief hope that she might still be into him, who is to say he won't be a lot less likely to have Rick's back the next time they're surrounded by zombies? There's no better way to get away with murder than by letting the undead do it for you.

As much as I enjoyed this episode and the two that proceeded it, the pace for this season is maddeningly slow and it feels like the events are being needlessly padded out. Some of it is working very well, especially the Shane segments and the bonding between Daryl and the other survivors. However, I really want the search for Sophia to wrap up as soon as possible. At first it was a compelling angle, but it is definitely wearing out its welcome.

^^ Totally agree...

If you don't like that, don't read the books.

Most of the story is about "the walking dead", that is, the survivors. It's about their story, the psychological and sociological drama that ensues within the group over events aplenty. Can't just cut to the chase all the time. That's what made Breaking Bad a great show.

side note: Do you ever read the comments on TWD/TTD's FB pages after an episode? Man there are some crazy people out there....putting full dissertations out on the correct amount of time to look for a child, etc, etc, etc,

It def makes for some lulz...

If you don't like that, don't read the books.

I know it is about the survivors. :lol: I'm actually glad they are not following the books here - makes it more interesting to see how they are going to twist things up a bit, but one difference from last season vs. this one is the slowness - IMO. I haven't watched last night's episode so no spoilers.

The only good part was the Souix attack.

Well it took pretty much the entire season and half of the last episode but we finally got a decent episode.

The ending floored me. I tried not to read much about the comic version so I wouldn't spoil things but I couldn't get past how it ended.

Lots of conflict to come. :yay:

The comic isn't anything like this....Shane was dead in the first two comics, Redneck Ninja aka Dayrl (whom I think is the most interesting) doesn't even exist.

I'm at this point on Team Shane....I know Rick is trying to do the right thing and respect Herschel's wishes...but keeping the walkers around was completely dangerous. Not to mention they had the girl all along, was he ever going to tell them?????

There's a tag for that!

Yeah, I absolutely did not expect that. When I saw the view from the barn - indicating that there was obviously one more walker, I thought it would come out and bite someone.

But it explained Herschel's reluctance to kill the walkers - everyone now understood the situation that it's hard to kill one of them when it used to be one of your own, especially one of your own children. None of them wanted to do it.

Does make you wonder why he let them daily risk their lives to look for her when he knew all along.

Good episode, although two things came up - one was that the farm was only marginally aware of the devastation worldwide - they really only knew about it from TV, radio and a few walkers they'd seen. The other was more confusing - the statement that surrounding farms were already overrun. Tends to make me wonder just how it is they can live in the midst of all of it and live relatively safe.

Add me as another one who was completely shocked and I had the same thoughts... after the disclosure of the walkers in the barn, why didn't he tell somebody she was there??? Perhaps this question will be address during the next episode.

Sam,

As far as them living safely... well... I thought they had a fence around the place?? A few episodes back they mentioned making sure the gate is locked. Do you think that would make a difference?

It was said in a forum that having the walkers in the barn was keeping others away, IE if they are in the area there must not be any food. I didn't hear this myself, but I've heard more than one person say something to that effect...

If they are all dead, that might invited the hoardes on the outskirts to come in and hunt.

I read somewhere that during "Talking Dead" they adressed how Sophia ended up in the barn. As I read it, Otis found her and placed her in there prior to accidentaly shooting Carl. Supposedly Hersh didn't know she was in there.

I only got into Walking Dead this season,...when they are stuck on the HWY. So,...does anyone think the Public Libraries will have the initial seasons on DVD?
I need to see how these relationships were formed.

There are powerful "LOST" similarities regarding the questions of rights, humanity, unity vs diversity, risk, morals/integrity...

I am very intrigued (although I suspect my family is generally stunned that I am interested.)

Call the library and ask.

If you want to watch online I recommend sidereel.com. You do have to register to avoid the annoying advertisements but all the links I have used have been safe.

Netflix has it!!!

And that would clearly make sense since Otis is now dead.

A meager difference. They're out in the middle of no where. Sure, they'll get the occasional walker but nothing they can't handle.

In the books, eventually...the farm becomes too much for just Hershel and family to handle. They get over-run and decide to join up with Rick and crew.

Never watched before until AMC had a New Year Eve marathon and I can't wait for Feb 12 for NEW shows . Was sad that the missing little girl turned into a "Walker" and had to be put down by Rick . Hershel & Family had to KNOW she was in barn however they let Rick & company thinking she was alive in woods . WHY ? Question for next year !

I would guess that they knew, but only considered her 'sick' like the others and were afraid that if they told the Rick crew she was there that Rick et al would demand to stay longer, which Hershel didn't want at all.

According to their "Talking Dead" show, Otis found her and put her in the barn (prior to his event at the high school). Hersh didn't know she was in there.

Then Otis deserved to be " Walker Bait" so Shane could escape to save Carl !:whistle:

Then Otis deserved to be " Walker Bait" so Shane could escape to save Carl !:whistle:

Otis didn't do anything "wrong"... From what I've read this is how the story "supposedly" went...

After the accidental shooting he found the lil' Walker roaming free and did what they've done with the rest, put her in the barn. I think it was supposed to be timed so he didn't know about Sophia and he and Shane had already left for the high school...

It's been awhile since I've read through it... maybe they will do webisodes for Sophia (and explain what she went through before being place in the barn), like they did in the first season for the "bicycle girl", that'd keep people happy while waiting for the second season to pick up again.

I missed that one episode of The Walking Dead where they show us how the zombies keep everyone's lawns so freshly mowed.

Hey, zombies gotta make a livin too or else they would all be on food stamps.

Yep - :yahoo: I have the DVR set - gotta watch it tomorrow.

Crappy episode up until the ending. I hope this isn't another season of 85% snoozefest.

Alright.... Sitting down to watch this now. :popcorn:

I guess they attempt to find out if Nebraska is Walker free

Acquiring NOW

I missed last week's episode and see it is being shown again right now. Actually, my DVR jacked up the recording. I got the 1st 8 minutes and that was it.

Does anyone else think Dale needs to be put out of his misery?

Hahhahahahahahhahahahahhahhahahhahahaha

yeah the old man gets on my nerves

[my friends tell me I am a bit Machiavellian in my outlook on life]



well he is gone now


[well I would have told Dale to STFU months ago, and capped what-his-name for poking my wife]

The old man was wise - opinioned, etc.... I liked him.

I was shocked that the same walker that kid (who is really changing) was tossing rocks at was the one who killed him. My #2 son watches this with me and we had a huge debate over whether or not the kid in the barn should be killed. He thinks they should just do it.... gave his reasons and I think not... gave my reasons.

IMHO Dale was dreaming for the old world ....

..... with no criminal justice, walkers everywhere ....... the bullies will FEED on the weak ....

he will bring his friends back ....

they should have left the kid to the walkers @ the state vehicle depot 2 weeks ago ........ or just cut his throat

now we will have to deal with Carl's emotional turmoil about having thrown rocks at 'that' walker .....

can we just get back to killing ####


I thought rick was spot on killing those 2 in the bar 3 weeks ago ..........



MAN up or eat a bullet ........... it is a Brave NEW World out there ..........

You were right.... Carl's emotional turmoil I got to the point where Carl was in the barn talking about it and dozed off. I will have to check and see if I missed anything after that tonight.

I will have to check and see if I missed anything after that tonight.The good cop finally found his b@lls.

There's more, but I don't want to spoil it for you.

In the comic Carl murders (shoots) and kills Shane. I liked Dale he was obviously a Democrat. :coffee:

...the heartless ones are conservatives?

No,...I disagree: I liked Dale, he harkened back to LAW,...what helps to keep us civilized. When an enemy forces us to disregard what holds our humanity together, and we replace law & morality with whatever is expedient,...we become progressive. Thus,...Dale was a Libertarian, and a moralist.

He was a bit of a sage, a mentor, counselor--and I did like him.

aside from this,...why does everyone feel it is necessary to wander around in the dark?

so how did the Bad Cop become a zombie? He didn't get bit.

A few shows ago didn't the characters say something about you can get the zombie disease from zombie blood splatter if you have an open wound??

I just love this stuff.

I wonder about Herschel, the old man. When's he going to get chomped on.

Who's going to get killed next week with that throng of zombies headed toward the house?

No it's on my DVR for tonight...

but ended up killing Zombie Shane .......

Think back to the end of season 1. Dr. Jenner whispers something to Rick. *hint*



hmmmm...ok, we don't know what he whispered. He whispered it. Rick heard it but we couldn't hear it.

So, ok Dr. J could have whispered that the virus is airborne--- or that they are each already carriers of the virus/bug/thingie that causes one to become a zombie but don't become zombies unless they die, even if they die without having been bitten.

Have we been told what Dr. J really said or are we to speclate?

Carl Drew down on daddy -- but ended up killing Zombie Shane .......


That was an unexpected freaky moment.


In the last couple of episodes, Shane had been acting even more aggressive, intent on killing Rick, the new guy tied up in the shed, and I think he would love to have offed Dale. So I wonder if Shane was just naturally going off the deep end because of prego Lori and the fact that he wanted to be in charge of the group, or did he have this zombie bug and it was causing him to become more aggressive.

uh-oh well I'm not going to say any more til you watch last night's program. I'll check in tomorrow to see what you think.


Okay...I get what you were saying yesterday. WTH is happening. You can just catch Zombie? I’m a sceered!

CDC/Dr. J convo...

Speculation subsists that Jenner's last words to Rick, inaudible, were to inform him of the nature of the virus. This will be confirmed in the final episode of season two.
The bulk of the whisper is audible on the S1 bluray, if you significantly increase the center channel (see Talk:Edwin Jenner) to isolate the dialog. The first two sentences are "It's in your blood. We're all carriers."

Hmmm, so it seems they are all carriers. Has anyone died from natural causes in the past shows? I'm trying to remember.

Isn't one of Hershel's daughters still ill? I wonder if she has zombie disease and it just isn't fully evident yet? Or, will she beat it and prove that the disease maybe is curable?

:popcorn:


wow that is an interesting plot twist

Wow. Does anyone else think there was more awesomeness in that first 20 minutes than the entire season?

I was really thinking that they were going to kill off Andrea. I'm glad she's still alive. I have the entire comic run but have held off reading ahead so it doesn’t spoil the series for me.

I said the exact same thing, but eventually caved in. I am not disappointed in the least. The show will never run as dark as the comic, there is just no way to keep a fan base apart from the zombiefreaks...

Now I find it interesting to see the delta between the series and the graphic novels. It also makes it exciting when things like Michonne and the prison are revealed...
