Anyone catch this new series on AMC channel? Looks like it could be a good series if they keep on like the first episode. Funny though, started just like "28 days later".
Right off the bat I was annoyed.
When the main char told the rookie cop to make sure there was a round in the chamber and the safety off, the rookie cop chamberd a round from the clearly emtpy magazine and then swept his thumb where there WOULD be a manual safety, except his gun didnt have one (glock). They even added the sound effects of a "safety click"
Its little things like that that ruin a movie or TV show sometimes.
Then the car flipping....come the hell on. It went over a spike strip, slid sideways and then BOOM went into a big roll. For no reason. except the pneumatic actuator under the car. Its just silly.
I'll stick with it into next week and see how it goes.

Since none of that was germane tot he actual plot, I didn't care. Though, I must admit a sadness at seeing a 1970 GTO Judge used for a stunt that a 1989 Ford Taurus would have been just as good for.
Overall, I thought the pilot was good and look forward to the rest of the series.
I'm really excited about the series. I had to get up at 3:30 am on monday, but I still stayed up to watch it. [thumbsup]
I've read several of the comics....and if the tv series stays the line, it should be pretty good

After Madmen I was expecting a little more from them.
And yes the gun seen was ridiculous................
Lately TV shows have been sad and disappointing.
I also will stick with it and see how it goes next week.
I am pumped about this show. It's fun to watch and zombies are the shit.
As for the inaccuracies in the weapons actuation.... who cares, it's a show.
28 days later.... VERY similar the whole coma/wake up no idea wtf is going on thing was a total rip. Still cool nonetheless.
Excellent gore in the grand tradition of Sam Peckinpah
annoying at the detail level, safety click on the Glock was bad
also character development implausibility issues...responses to circumstances or situations were lacking authenticity
and after 10 minutes I was convinced the main character was going to wear his make the beast with two backsing backless hospital gown and go barefoot for the entire make the beast with two backsing series
it gets one more play
^ I know what you're talking about. When he stumbles into the military command center outside of the hospital first thing I said was GRAB THE HELICOPTER. And then, you know, that's not realistically what I would do....but I DID expect him to emerge with some weapons and a change of clothes.
Other thing that bothered me on a different level was the apparent pack leader at the little camp site making out with his wife. Not sure where that comes from but im sure it will play a pretty serious role later. Two leaders conflict.

Agreed... partner cop makes off with the main characters wife and kid, forgets about husband in hospital.
I'm seeing a battle between the two later on.

wife: "Oh my God, the dead are walking the streets eating the flesh of the remaining live people! Holy shit! We have to get the make the beast with two backs out of here! Where is my husband?! Could he be where we left him in the hospital?! Oh my God we're all gonna die?! Where could my husband be?!!!!"
partner: "Wanna make the beast with two backs?"
wife: "Okay."
Yes there are a few holes that need filling in the character development.
But who cares they got zombies who eat horses.
Watched it today. It was entertaining.

your smug wink is irrelevant. Still doesn't change the fact that they went out of their way to add a *click* when there was nothing to be clicked.
To me, what is irrelevant is the fact that the show is about dead people walking around trying to eat live people and a safety in the wrong place is what you're worried about. It's a make believe show.
I actually thought it was really good. I liked how they made some scenes look like comic cells (i.e. when he shoots the other deputy through the fence).
Can't wait to see where this goes. Going to be fun when he finds his wife and kid and has to kill his old partner.
What would you expect the wife to do? She's going to go with the person who gives her and her son the best chance of survival and that was the partner. Of course she's going to get with the guy if he wants to. What choice does she have? Exactly what would happen in a setting like that. Do whatever it takes to keep yourself and son alive.
In this kind of setting the strong will be bullies while the weak will submit.

The comic it's based on got pretty good, so I am anxious to see where they go with the series.
New Episode on now... Lets see how it goes.
OH MAN
This episode is GORY.
1. If the flowers were long dead when he woke up, what was being fed into his veins from his IV bags? Air?
2. If he could get out of the hospital so easily, why couldn't zombies just as easily get to him?
3. How did the horse survive so long with dead owners? Fenced up. With lots of horse-eating zombies around.
4. This show, uh, borrowed the premise of an already successful zombie movie. Hard.
I mention these things, not because I relish being the guy that points out "Oh, that's not real" or "that's CG/green screened/a tit double"
I mention this because, despite these things I noticed without really trying, I can't wait to watch episode two.

1. No explanation for this... How long does an IV bag last on a very slow drip?
2. There was a bed blocking the door to his room. They seek the living, so I suppose they left the area seeking the living?
3. Was pretty far into the country, could have had access to open food, grazing area, water..
4. Agreed, serious stolen material here. 28 days later at the forefront.
Episode 2 was on tonight... It was pretty good.

I wouldn't so much say stolen, as adheres strongly to the zombie apocalypse movie archetype.
Too bad. It could have been a really cool show. [thumbsdown] [thumbsdown] [thumbsdown]
I'm still baffled by the nay sayers here
Glock with a thumb safety
unrealistic
Walking without a pulse
plausible
I'm confused

I totally agree- How many ways can you do a zombie movie. Also, the Walking Dead was first published in 2003 same year as 28 Days Later. Who's to say one wasn't written before the other?
In movies/tv some things are just going to be for effect (ie gun safety). How many people out there really know/care/think about where a safety is on a gun they couldn't pick out of a lineup?
Why hate/nitpick when you can just enjoy a good zombie story with what I think is some of the best costumes/make up i've seen in any zombie movie?
Episode two was a win for me [thumbsup] Loooved the generous use of squishy noises.

Oh yeah. And this is a flippin'
TV show. I was really impressed by the wandering torso. I kept looking for things that were off or fake about it, found none, gave up. Oh well, I guess we all suspend disbelief with our own hoist. The worst thing I can say about the show so far is that I don't get this channel in HD...

definitely generous use of "squishy noises" That one scene had me gagging at bit.
Pumped for next week, episode 3...
Given how they are canceling shows a lot with only one or two seasons I think I will stay with this one....
it really has no ulterior plot mystery to figure out and is just a weekly gore-fix
make the beast with two backsing Flash Forward got nailed without so much as a close-out/explanation episode about who was behind all the shit
I'd rather not invest the time in following a story whose outcome is never divulged/explained

Let's see if any of the main characters die...

Thats why I cant watch this. I see no reason for characters to do stupid things like this besides a bad story line. Make believe zombies I can deal with. Actors doing things that no one would REALLY do in a zombie land situation ruins a show for me. Instead of seeing people I see actors...know what I mean?

The hand thing, are those writers really that stupid? Or do they believe we're that stupid? [thumbsdown]
I do like the partner lying to the wife about her husband, the douche bag standing around ordering the women to was clothes then hitting his wife and the partner beating the snot out of the d-bag. Gotta give the writers credit there. [thumbsup]

Ahh yup...but given the over-the-top intellectual strength of the character as portrayed I can easily see this....
maybe halfway through he realized he had other options but shrugged and kept going since it was too late anyway
that will be a good flashback scene or at least a good line for someone to deliver to the handless wonder
They've got to include a "measure twice cut once" joke in the next episode.
"Here, let me give you a hand."

I saw that. But, the movie was released in the UK about a year and a half before it was released in the US. So, the timeline would go: 28 Days Later released in UK, The Walking Dead published, 28 Days later released in the US.
Overall, meh. Not a real big deal for me to begin with, and even less of a deal to me now that the plot line has veered pretty far away from that. It would be annoying if the series continued to rely on dropped-in-the-middle-of-the-zombiepocalyse as a device - I am glad they haven't

Not to mention the fact he was all sunstroked and completely caca for cukoo puffs.
I only watched the pilot, but have the comics. The character dev comes later. Rather than spell it out, it comes through conflicts. Of course, by ep 3 you might already be seeing that.
I'm still not 100% on who was affected by the "event" right at the end of the episode.
I think that the lack of clarity is intentional after seeing next weeks preview.

I believe that is her intent. My prediction is she hesitates at the moment of truth and gets bit.
I disagree. It will be her first "kill."
She wants to be the one to do it. Ugly sister is too big of a character already.

SEASON FINALE SUCKED
it just sucked
i know they needed to provide some facts rather than just them running away from zombies, but it was lame.
the french held out? oh come on.
season finale?? so what, 4/5 weeks?
It's AMC, they didn't get much money for the whole season. They'll bring it back. Now I'm pissed cause I have to wait to find out what he whispered. I think it was that someone is infected.

He whispered the same thing that was whispered at the end of Lost in translation. 8)
It was fitting that I was half in the bag whilst watching it. [drink]
OKAY.....
I love this show and don't see the need to dissect the minutae of what is realistically portrayed or not.
HOWEVER.....
Why the hell would you walk by a .50cal +ammo and not think it might come in handy?
Personally I have a preference for tanks. Particularly useful for getting out of downtown Atlanta when 1000 walkers are grinning at you ;)
what i want to know is how the tanks got over run. i mean, what.. are all these zombies particular well trained and entering armored vehicles undetected?

If it was me I'd have been grabbing up every single weapon I could lay my hands on..
A humvee would have been a much better vehicle than the winnabago for sure...
BUT the characters were under some serious stress and had to get out before being overrun. So can you blame them for running without thinking?
Again, if it was me I'd have been dual wielding some .50 cal's tearing some zombie ass up. [evil]
I would have been happier if the CDC doctor used them for experiments

Here's my rational plan
Get one of these with a 5th wheel in the bed, find a fuel tanker and steal it. I'm set road warrior style for MONTHS, then just drive around north america scavenging weapons and thousands of rounds of ammo. Weld a few .50 cal's in various awkward positions to my truck and fuel tanker and be the king of the world.

the modified shuttle van from Dawn of the Dead (remake) wouldn't stand a chance in this version of the endtimes. Cars are okay, but I'd sleep well on a boat.
Didn't the doctor say the lab in the CDC building would reach 5000 to 6000 degrees? Hot enough to ignite air? And at 100 yards away everyone is fine? They're talking nuclear blast?

The previews had me thinking he was going to infect the blond. :-\ Maybe in a future episode.
the unreality of the show is that that RV gets horrible gas mileage and there simply isn't enough gas around to keep it filled conveniently -- why don't they have some extra gas cans on the back to scavenge?
that's the kind of thing that bugs me. more than the glock with a safety.
also, given the lack of available gas, you're not going to drive 5 gas guzzlers around.. they had 5 jeeps/vans/trucks including the RV.. wtf?
For a few moments I actually thought they might syphon off some spare diesel from the military vehicles outside to keep the generators going...silly me...I was putting thought into this

Well, the .50 cal are the most obvious thing since your normal person can't operate a tank. The tanks were probably abandoned since the Abrams uses jet fuel. I would prefer something like Veloce posted a big ass pick-up or even a 18 wheeler. I see the need for the RV for cooking and sleeping. Consider it more a mobile hospital. I truly don't understand the jeep. Too easily dragged out of. Living on a boat is the best idea, but you would need to eventually hit land for some basics.

i got to fire one, but spent more time on the remaining m1919s that we had on the apc. "more time" means about 2 days before i got to go back to nitpicking, which was far more satisfying.

You know all too well of my zombie fetish... if that's the right term. [laugh] A huge smile hit my face last night when I clicked on my Directv DVR show list and saw 9 recorded Walking Dead shows.

Read World War Z. By the end of that book everyone's carrying either dead simple rifles capable of firing until you can't fire no more (for taking out Zombie hordes) or sound suppressed .22 handguns (so you don't attract more zombies)
I'll put that on my "to read" list. I like the muffled .22 idea to not attract more walking dead. [thumbsup] More good thinking. [popcorn]
As I watch that show I keep saying to my wife "one more reason we need suppressors. Keeps other zombies from knowing where you're at"
She agreed :)

Per Max Brooks, author of World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide:
1. Organize before they rise
2. They feel no fear, why should you?
3. Use your head: cut off theirs
4. Blades dont need reloading <------Most important
5. Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hear
6. Get up the stairscase, then destroy it
7. Get out of the car, get onto the bike
8. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert
9. No place is safe, only safer <----- Also very important
10. The Zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.
I really wanted to like this show. With the quality of shows on cable networks in the past few years, I was excited to hear someone was doing a zombie series. I made it most of the way through season 1 and just had to stop. Oh well.
The ultimate zombie killing machine. derby??

The Jawsaw requires electricity, making it a poor choice for zombie combat. The Beast doesn't need electricity, gas, and doesn't run out of bullets.

hey is the show still good ?
[spoiler alert] I stopped following after the kid got shot and they operated on him.
hope "the league" starts soon :)
finally the Sheriff gets tough. ;D
Seriously.
He was on the ball with that situation!
I like this show and Falling Skies... but Walking Dead is the better of the two. Zombies always win my attention over alien critters. But I tend to get a little tired of some of the personal drama the show likes to center on. If I'm their target market viewer (who really knows who "that" person is... [popcorn]) then they need to stick to zombie attacks and avoiding zombie attacks. Just sayin'... ;)
Bonus points for use of "The Regulator" by Clutch during the zombie pyre and setting up the bar confrontation.
I really like the actor, Michael Raymond-James, that played the talkative guy from Philly. He was awesome in "Terriers" before Fox 86'd it, and I was hoping he'd have a recurring role in "The Walking Dead."

Really good episode tonight. A little predictable, but whatever, Ill take this over any reality show anyday.
Seriously? Really good? You've got to be kidding! [bang] [puke] This show has become like watching 2 hours and 50 minutes of bad Super Bowl ads and ten minutes of the actual game! And that's if the ten minutes of the game was actually good. [roll] Not happening. [thumbsdown] Way too much personal drama bullshit and not enough zombie stuff. Hell, the zombies were on the show for like 1-2 minutes when she was stuck in the car and when they tried to pry the dude off the picket fence. Seriously. Maybe a minute or two... and that's stretching it. Guess I'm back to watching the wanker Falling Sky show. Sad... [roll]
Maybe they should change the name of the show to Board to Death Walking Dead? ;)

Its not just about surviving zombies. Interpersonal struggle plays a big (bigger, really, because the zombie threat is pretty 2 dimensional and unvaried) part. Its what makes the show believable. Yeah, I said it [laugh]
I hope Rick shoots Shane in the face.
make the beast with two backs that guy.
Yeah, I like the interpersonal stuff going on.
It's sort of "What would happen to people if zombies took over?" not just "shoot zombies all the time"
I think Rick's behavior in the last two episode is very interesting -- he shot those guys and now you hear the other one saying "I'm not telling Jane" which of course is the guy's wife/girl. Makes you think they were legitimately needing help and a group of families, etc.
Then he saves that kid.
Shane has way stepped over the line. No idea where that is going but I really liked it when grandpa shut him down. <eddie murphy voice> "THIS IS MY HOUSE. IF YOU DON LIKE IT.. GET THE F OUT!"
///"I figured it out, Gus... she's a Bigfoot! She can't walk down STAIRS, Gus!"///
Back o.t...
I was pretty sure Rick was going to go with the mercy round for the kid on the fence... I also thought Hershel might pull the trigger, given his reaction to the walkers devouring the random black dude he shot in the chest. Glen had the best line of that particular sequence... "Oooh... he didn't make it..."
My favorite thing about the show is how decisions you would have made without hesitation before the walkers take on all sorts of different considerations in the new reality. Pre-walker, of course you try to help the kid. Post-walker? He might just be "Otis'd" so the rest of the crew can get back to the car. These aren't bad people, but they're in a whole new world and it's testing them. Pretty cool dynamic.

a psychodrama with flesh eating zombies as the prime mover.
OK. I realize you can't have a 60 minute show of nothing but zombie head shots and zombies eating people. I can't support those ratings all by myself. [popcorn] But it is a zombie apocalypse kinda show. I don't care about who knocked up who or who is asking Buffy to the high school prom. [roll] And for those that like the soap opera appeal of the "human drama" part of the show more power to ya'. Glad you like it and buy the advertiser's products to support the show.
And no, I don't drink decaf. [laugh] [laugh]
I just seriously feel the show is a lesser version of what it was in the first season. Just my devalued .2 cents. After these last two episodes I thought they would crank it up this season not mellow it out. My interest is starting to wain. But I did enjoy the minor mayhem at the bar with the other survivor troop and the part about the fence impaling. That was some decent action. I just want more of that stuff. And no, not 60 solid minutes of it but just more survival related stuff and less soap opera.
And also I liked the way the fussy, depressed ex-vet (animal doc not military!) actually manned up and handled a pistol at the bar and acted like he'd pop a cap in someone. And by the way, damn... how many people does he have to patch up in this show? [bang] It's like a mash up of Zombieland and Dr. Marcus Welby, MD.
Since I have misplaced my zombie apocalypse rule book, a theoretical question: What if you go down for the count but are still breathing and the zombies find you and start chewing on your face and arms. And then a good natured soul from across the way mercifully pops a cap in your head to save you from the unpleasant dining experience. Do you still become a half eaten zombie later or do you die from the head shot (while being consumed/infected) and rest in peace? Curious minds want to know. Talk amongst yourselves.

based on what we know this far, the "mythos" of Walking Dead, if the brain is damaged, then the disease or zombie virus or whatever can't take over.
now the question is how much and what type of brain damage is needed? how about genetic damage or mental retardation?

This might be due to the writers who were let go after the first season. I read somewhere that alot of the actors were upset with what had gone down, but being that you are on a show with zombies and the ease with which you could be killed off, everyone was keeping their mouths shut. Just a thought.
well I just watched the episode from last night. pick it up or my DVR will delete your ass.

The Walking Dead appears to have a relatively low zombie brain damage (ZBD) threshold... note the abundance of arrow and knife kills. The writers readily ace zombies just due to penatration, not catastrophic destruction of the cranial matter (ex: extreme amounts of kinetic energy from firearms rounds). Conversely, the gunshot seems to be the 100% be-all/end-all for the walkers... I don't think we've been shown a walker recovering from one in the melon.
So, based on this highly scientific analysis, I think the poor victim in fastwin's scenario does not turn in the world of The Walking Dead.

You know, I was wondering about a writers/producers/director change. I don't have any of the original shows saved to compare to the more recent shows. I does make some sense. I just think the "flavor" of the show has changed a bit. And a change in writers, etc. is usually the cause regardless of the show. Maybe they think better ratings will result from such a change? Better ratings = more ad $$.
Don't forget they are also under budget constraints this season. AMC wanted more episodes for less $$$ hence much of the
action is stuck on the farm (which I believe is actually owned by one of the producers). I do dig the interpersonal drama but
visually this season is nowhere near the spectacle of last season. I do miss flipping GTO's/exploding CDC's/deserted downtown
Atlanta/tanks/zombie hordes etc. BTW, are we ever going to find out what was up with the helicopter??
I have to agree with the dismal pace of the show. I need a certain amount of violence, zombies and nudity to keep me interested. Hell, at this point I'll even take zombie nudity.
That said, the comics were all about the human drama. The difference is the budget is unlimited when dealing with ink and the writers kept it interesting with a steady diet of human and zombie murder.
Seems the writers heard your complaints.
Good show tonight.

I'm more upset about the fact that they are in ATLANTA and 99% of the zombies are whites. Helllllooo?? Atlanta is not a predominantly white city.
Imagine if they made a zombie flick in Beijing and all of the zombies were Caucasus Russians.

Yeah, that discussion between Rick and Shane was some fairly obvious foreshadowing. Rick's long stare at the two dead officers before he went back and helped Shane seemed like more of the same.

i figured rick's long stare at them was more due to the fact that he has been friends and partners with shane for forever and the 2 cops laying next to each other made him forget the anger and go back to save his buddy (who was about to kill him, porked his wife, and is contantly screwing things up for the group)
How,would they kill the lead roles? I think the vet will discover an infection on both, treat it and suddenly a new show will emerge curing those zombies only scratched. Probably something to do with how long it's incubated in the blood stream. Oh well, I'm in sales not a writer so we shall see
They have not been scratched or bitten by the zombies. So I think they'll be alright.
Plus it's not the first time that they have been covered in zombie goo.. :)

Yeah, that was my read on it too. I think the wife porking was excusable given everyone thought he was dead, but you know... :D
Yeah that whole scene with the cops and Shane pointing out that they didnt have a bite mark was odd to me. i noticed that Rick had Zombie blood all over his eyes in one scene and in the next, much less so. attention to details....

And speaking of the show, I did enjoy this last one much better. More zombie trouble/action and having it on the dvr made fast forwarding through the "drama" parts much easier to take.

Agreed latest episode was somewhat redemptive
some of the prior dialogue was approaching Days Of Our Lives and As the World Turns grade tripe...
need more zombie zapping
screw the touchy feely blather
I liked the way the two "stars" of the show took to pig sticking the walkers in the head to save on ammo. Makes sense. [popcorn] ;) Tactical folders don't make much noise either so you don't attract other walkers. You know what a curious lot of critters they can be. ;D
Did you hear about the ooops spoiler? Guess one of the main guys is about to catch some dead.

I like the "does he get eaten by Otis" comment! [laugh]

Sweet. I hate that guy.
Awesome, I really appreciate knowing what's going to happen before the show airs!
I'm okay with posting a link to a spoiler but how about not ruining for the people who chose not to click on it?
The comic series has Carl killing Shane when Rick shows up after Shane attacks Rick. It's no surprise the tension that they've tried to milk given that's the original setup.
It's been pretty obvious that Shane's gonna get it.....
Ohhh... more drama! [popcorn] Will Shane come back as a zombie and team up with Otis and form a garage band and perform on America's Got Talent? I gots to know!! ;D Stay tuned.
I think it would be awesome if Otis came and ate Shane.
I mean, aside from all the fat jokes.

that would be an interesting twist of fate -- what if Shane gets accidentally shot or injured in the legs and Zombie-Otis chows on him?
starting with the spot of scalp he ripped out? lol
nom
Just wondering. Is it against the rules for zombies to know how to shoot a gun or swing an axe? Wouldn't that level the playing field and be more fair/interesting? Yeah, yeah, they move real slow like my son getting ready in the morning to go to school... that's a given. No Micheal Johnson sprinters on the zombie team. ;D
In the Will Smith movie I Am Legend the zombie like critters had a leader... why not a WD z-boy leader. Get organized, axe swinging training, learn some flanking maneuvers, intramural softball league... shit, the possibilties are endless! [popcorn] ;D [bacon]
yeah zombs don't do anything that requires cognition beyond rend and eat
I believe the zombies were moving faster in the latest episode...unless they just stumbled across a bunch of tweaker zombies....but tweakers aren't usually hungry....hmmm

In the book, they are actually Vampires which made it more "scary", because they could think and would stand outside in the night and call his name.
Also, let's not post spoilers if the show hasn't run yet...just links please so people have the option to look.

I don't think I ever got the impression they were vampires. They were something like vampires, but less emo. They also evolved from animalistic whatevers into something more cognitive.
Great short story, btw.

That last awful Romero flick had zombies with leaders and intellect... the one where they were keeping the zombies mesmerized with fireworks - I can't recall the name. It didn't make that movie any better, so I dunno if that plot twist would really add much to TWD.
I kind of like the idea that the zombie menace operates without rational thought, and the relentless horde is the challenge... The idea that you could take out some main 'brain' zombie and have the rest of the horde be all, "Durrr, now what?" seems like a series-ending contrivance if you know the show needs closure.
Good point. But I still like the idea of them swinging an axe, etc. Maybe not driving an 18 wheeler, 5.0 litre Mustang or running a chain gun but just some basic enhanced mayhem skills. Just sayin'... [popcorn]
I wonder if they are kinda like what maybe my ex-wife saw

you only have a few milliseconds to figure it out before impact
I always failed ;D
Nothing worse than out of line, misbehaving sidewalks. Just won't stand for that in these here parts. ;) Act up and you get jack hammered... not you, the sidewalk. ;D
Can't recall the name, but there was an interesting comic about some vampires forced to defend the last group of humans from zombies so they could continue to feed. I always thought that would make an interesting show if done right.

Grif, I am sure you could do it. You've just never been hungry enough..
The writers and producers must be watching this thread because that's more of what I'm talking about. ;D
First off that kid is nothing but trouble. He needs to be in time out and stop make the beast with two backsing up so he or others don't get killed.
And when are they going to "off" the prisoner? Maybe with yahoo "save the young man" gone they will have a non resistant way to get that done. The prisoner's scene with the youngin' proved he is not worthy of keeping around. He should already be post toasties. [thumbsup] The kid screwed that "off" the prisoner moment up. Maybe he needs to go too!
Again, a step up in the quality of the show. [thumbsup] I was worried it was going downhill but the last two shows have thankfully proven me wrong. Less soap opera drama is a good thing!
Bah....way too much existential jabber/debate on being civilized
the first step in forming any civilization is a mutual survival compact,
the second is prevailing over competing groups (including rats and other vermin I might add) [cheeky]
reminds me of the story of two shipwreck survivors washing ashore on an island....
the first thing they see is a dead man dangling from the end of a rope
the first survivor looks at the sight in horror
the second survivor exclaims " thank God! there's civilization here"
give me the gun I will show you how its done without sissy whining and hand-wringing ;D
they had to set it up for Dale to get ate.
it wasn't just irony that he was pregnant doging about the world not being civilized and then he gets butchered.

What's up with the mud stuck z-boy gutting the poor moo-cow and Mr. Civilized? One minute he's dry humpin' Dale in the field, next thing you know Dale has his tummy ventilated? How did that happen? Thought they just nawed on you with their teeth. I'm confused. ??? [popcorn] [bacon]

I think it was bad continuity. One minute Dale has his hands on the zomb's hands pushing him back and the next you see zomb ripping Dale open.
The zombs have ripped people open in the past. In the first episode, that half-a-woman was ripped apart and eaten. She was featured in one of the mini-episodes online i.e. "how they got there" sort of thing.

I don't know why not. That is a good point. There was in fact a zombie flick that had a dog turn after eating zombie flesh. I forgot the name, it was only 5-6 years ago. Really bad production value, but had good story elements like that.

OK, two things. 1) Who shot the kid in the season premier, did they ever find out? That was the only episode of the first half that I saw until recently, and then I only got to see the last 2. 2) Was the walker that got Dale wearing a cloak of invisibility or something? It's not like they hide. How the hell did he not see it? It's stuff like that that drives me nuts.

1. It was Otis hunting the deer. It was an accident.
2. Yeah, me too. In one scene the walker starts moaning and groaning from 100 ft away but in the next he's all sneaky and quiet until grandpa is dinner.

The zomb that got Dale apparently liked chitlins
I haven't really chimed in on this thread. I do watch the show and "like" it. I also find it very very frustrating. I hesitate to say it but I think the show is very unrealistic. All of this melodrama, hurting each other's feelings and infighting is bs. I understand they can't have a show or book just about zombies but I just don't think it would go down this way. I think people would go into survival mode and all of the bs would fly out the window. If you're too busy fighting about who's feelings your going to hurt you're going to be dead very quickly. RAT has it right. You just have to be about survival and nothing else. I also really feel like supplies would be easier to come by. They can't be that far from the highway they were at. Every one of those cars has at least some gas and supplies. Stop going in groups of one or two, get your head out of your ass and get the shit you need. Plain and simple. I feel like once winter hit you'd be better off and could really take it to groups of walkers bogged down by snow. Although I'd be heading straight for the coast and find boats. Walkers can't swim.
That being said, I just don't see how everyone hates Shane. To me, that would be the guy I want to be grouped with. You've got to make the hard decisions and the world truely would be shoot first ask questions later. He's not out raping and killing for fun like the new group we saw but he does do what's necessary to survive. I would hope that I could be like Shane with just a little bit of Dale to keep my hard side in check. To me, Rick, his dumb ass wife and dumb ass kid have put the group in 100 times more danger than Shane. The only bad thing Shane does wrong is just being an ass about how he goes about getting the results not the results themselves. make the beast with two backs fat ass Otis. He was the reason they were in the town in the first place. Shane did what every single one of the "survivors" in this situation would do. You want to live, you have to do whatever it takes is the only rule to live by.
The reason people don't like Shane isn't because he isn't useful, it's because he is trying to interpose himself into a family unit -- Rick's family.
It may have been a genuine mistake of fact for him to think Rick was dead and then make a beeline for whatserface's crotch, but having made that mistake, he doesn't back away 100% and has been plotting to get back in. THAT's why people don't like him, because he's a douchbag.
Good point about the water.
My question is when it freezes, I assume the walkers freeze, no? Hello? Frostbite? parts falling off?
And why no dirt bikes? How easy would it be to get away on dirtbikes instead of cars? Your up at the highway or the town. You've got the bikes running. Scavage what you need and put it in a truck you can abandon if needed. Walkers come, you don't fight or shoot you get on the bikes and leave, let them chase you and come back when it's clear. So many of the choices they make on the show just make no damn sense.
And no spears or longer weapons? I'd be putting a knife in a walker's skull as a last resort only. I'd have a nice 5 ft spear with a longer blade that I'd be able to put through a forehead at a distance. It's gets stuck you let it go and come back later or make another.
Too much giving up on the show. The people are not nearly as hard as you would need to be or become very quickly.

Spear is a good idea.. hmm..
Tizz, I totally agree with your point. But my point is that if I'm in the group why the hell does Rick get to be the leader when he sudenly materializes? I'm sticking with Shane.
And you're right Shane should have just jumped on the blonde. She's hotter anyways and the damn kid is nothing but a pain in his ass.
I will say that Shane is still much much more a father figure than Rick to Carl. Rick is all group leader with everyone else but a pussy when it comes to Carl. Kid needs beat.

Also, when they were in Atlanta no one reached down and grabed a M4 or whatever from a guardsman? They just have they're priorites skewed and that is what frustates me. If it was me, I'd be out with all of the able bodied guys with lookouts and a freaking plan getting supplies. I live in the country, there has to be a hundred stand alone houses within 5 miles of that farm. Why not train eachother in house entry and clearance and take whatever supplies you need. I don't get why they don't understand the world is yours you just have to be careful.
And another point and I'm done with my rant- the farm is a great great place to be. But why are they not spending the time and effort to reinforce the fencing? Makes no sense. There should be switchbacks and killing fields around the perimiter. I'm guessing Dale would have appreciated it.

Oh, god, you'd just ruin the story. We need to see someone get eaten once in a while.
And yes, I'd have grabbed every rifle, pistol, round, knife, helmet, ALICE, and boot I could "JUST IN CASE"
... they couldn't find a small tanker truck? just fill that sucker up with fuel and park it somewhere.
Also you would think the walkers would start decaying for good at some point.. Mmmm maggots infested brain getting eaten?
All good points.
I also was frustrated by the writers lack or realism, groups poor planning and, let's call it, simple stupidity.
But planning, intelligence, basic survival skills and reality don't fit or belong in a zombie series.
Things that do belong in a zombies series:
1. Wandering solo in the woods.
2. Not grabbing supplies or fire arms.
C. Having sex with your friends wife days after the beakout.
D. Drenched in zombie blood and not contracting the disease.
E. Helpless attractive underdressed woman in near death zombie scene.
This is an interesting paper on combating a zombie outbreak. According to the model, it would take about a week and a half to contain an outbreak with military strikes.
http://mysite.science.uottawa.ca/rsmith43/Zombies.pdf (http://mysite.science.uottawa.ca/rsmith43/Zombies.pdf)
Hit hard, early and often. Granted, the paper originated from a Canadian university. If there's a group of people determined to lure the rest of humanity into a zombie apocalypse, it's the Canucks. Canada is like a nation of Bond villans...
As far as TWD is concerned, Dale got off easy compared to the comic. Wait until The Governor shows up - then everybody's screwed.

based very very loosely. it should be called Walking Dead: Alternate World.
Shane was killed in the 2nd or 3rd issue.
Rick as a leader makes Hamlet seem like a decisive guy
Shane "gets it" it is all about survival....Otis was fat stupid and dangerous with a gun...
good call on Shane's part with him...leave the walkers with a feast that will keep them occupied for a week or 2
the weasel kid who shot at them?? dead
Carl leaving scent trails in the woods for the Walkers to follow? dead
Unless the scrawny actress playing Rick's wife is preggers in real life
they are going to have a hard time making her anorexic ass look expectant
even with a belly strapped on her....she'll look like a gaunt tweaker with a swollen liver
Rat has it right. That show's ratings would improve if they followed his advice.
I almost turned off the TV when the soon to be dead old man said he didn't want to be part of this world if it had become survival of the fittest.
I wonder if he still felt the same way when the revolver was in his face?

Sheriff Rick is much more decisive and edged.
It's AMC, they need to get comic fans and women into the show.
I liked the comment about the walker appearing out of nowhere and Dale being clueless. Maybe he was too enamored by the aired out bovine to notice the goon. But what bothered me about the whole scene was WTF was he doing wandering around the field after dark to begin with? Nothing good is going to happen in a field at night in a zombie show. [bang] I'm thinking it just cleaned up the gene pool. I could just tell by all of his insistent whinning about civilization, etc. that he was close to being tits up. Who gets his rifle? [popcorn] And again, how'd the walker disembowel him so easily? Hidden boxcutter? [laugh]

Yuck, don't go there! [puke] :P Just a general gene pool statement... as in he's not in the pool anymore. I was getting kind of sick of his wimpy BS, glad he's gone. I have a list of others that hopefully meet the same fate. Pretty much matches everyone elses lists. Hopefully after they get rid of the prisoner the writers might add some other characters to flavor the pot.
When is the inevitable confrontation between this group and the band of raping outlaws going to take place? You know it's coming. [popcorn] But first this group needs to rearm and resupply. They seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to guns and ammo. Can't defend yourself from heavily armed hordes with just bad language and civilized discussion.
Bring in the Governor already!!
OK in the old saying about plot scripting....if you introduce a gun in Act 1.....you better use it by Act 3
now the inverse of that is the Tard-Child Carl taking the pistol from Crossbow redneck's motorcycle saddle bag
The bike with the SS badge on the tank...(no product placement/branding there)
remember the little rodent dropped the pistol and left it behind when the en-mired walker was grasping at him
at what future point in time will Redneck run out of arrows and reach for the missing pistol that Carl boosted....that little unsupervised make the beast with two backser will get them all killed

funny you think of that.
i assumed he was going to get some pills out of crimson-neck's pack and go for a trip.
that would have made for a better show -- him waking up from a trip being eaten.
Good point! I have meant to bring that up before but keep forgetting. You know Redneck is counting on it being there in the saddle bag when shit hits the fan. Those cross bow bolts won't last forever. He's gonna need that heater someday and will be a mad SOB when he finds it missing.
Haven't seen that many movies or TV shows where I wanted a kid taken out. But he either needs to go or start contributing. I was hoping he was going to pop the mud stuck goon, he acted like he was going to. That would have added to his team point total but instead he fumbled the ball at the goal line and made me want the goon to snack on him. [bang] [roll]
Still waiting for the rumble with the other group of survivors. But I would first make a run into town and hit up every sporting goods and gun shop I could find. They should have shown them doing that a long time ago. The Sheriff's bag of hardware couldn't have held that much stuff to last a couple of seasons of zombie killing. Food, water, shelter and guns. Priorities people. ;)
One more point...
How bad do these people smell?
They wear the SAME clothes every episode. Somehow, they are not covered in zombie grime.

Can't get in there to watch TWD tonight. Wifely unit and junior want to watch dvr'd Modern Family re-runs! [roll] Zzzzzzzzz.... Hopefully they will get sleepy soon and wander off. [popcorn]
Re: tonight's episode
:D :D :D :D :D
Wtf? Does everyone carry the virus now? You just die and then turn into a zombie even if you have not been bitten or scratched?
There were scratches
Contact with blood will do it.
Have yet to see tonight's show due to previously mentioned Modern Family issues [roll] [bang] but I go back to the first season when they chopped up the dead walker with axes and used his innards as camo to walk undetected amongst the other walkers in Atlanta to get down the street to the box van and make their escape. Wouldn't it be wise to avoid any and all walker innards and blood? Damn... still can't find my zombie Apocalypse rule book! ;D
Yeah I wouldn't have done that.

Seems like they will need to explain this at some point.
maybe I'm just mean but he had to go. tired of hearing him pregnant dog.
Every last one of them should die
you realize Rick's moron scrawny-ass pregnant wife provoked the whole confrontation
with her "I'm not sure who the baby's father is" and the rest of her conciliatory blather with Shane
I'm not sure she was convinced that Rick would be her best bet at some level....
Rick should have put an end to the dispute by telling Shane he could borrow his wife any time he felt the urge....
I mean heck they were best Buds for life before the apocalypse..,.sharing is caring
and I'm not sure Rick's wife would have objected too strenuously to the arrangement
at least for the first trimester
They'd hinted around at being infected without being bitten... the two cops/guards the first time they tried to abandon Randall, Rick mentioned that they had no bites. It's airborne!

Back to the show... yeah, what's up with Shane going all zombie 10 seconds after he's dead? I guess the "everyone is infected" theory has to be the answer. Oh well, two more undesirables off the show. Several more to go. [popcorn]

Didn't you see the "V" series? When that woman had a lizard baby? IT COULD HAPPEN
We have nicknamed him "Destructo-baby". He's the 14 month old version of the Tasmanian Devil from the old Bugs Bunny 'toons. [laugh] My wife says it's good that he is so inquisitive. I'm not so sure. ;D I need The Bacon Junkie's take on this from his experience with little uns'. Junior seems to focus on my motorcycle magazines and then he goes into shredder mode.

yeah but I think getting it on with her had a real downside on the back end
I'm just interested in the human/actress part of that deal. Lizards are cute and all but my interest ends there. I'm sure as an alien/lizard critter in the show having "relations" with her would not end so well. She didn't seem to have a very good sense of humor. [popcorn]
I recall that she bit their heads off or something
but getting back to WD...I am going to miss Shane...I hope they have a decent backfill strategy to replace him
or at least find someone with more of a spine
than Rick the waffler to do the heavy lifting
What he said. [thumbsup]
If they are going to get rid of people I would like to think they might add some new folks that the group stumbles on to that aren't part of the murderous/raping horde.
I'm really hoping they introduce Michonne, who's a stupendous badass in the comics:

well I wasn't ready for that
I gotta say the kids a crack shot
The kid is emerging as some kind of cold-blooded annihilator
I have been avoiding this thread because I missed the show and had to watch it from DVR
all I can say is wow, it's coming around.
I am shocked Rick would pig-stick Shane like that, but damn.
I like how they tied the comic plot with the TV version i.e. Carl dispatching Shane.
It's kind of ridiculous though that in the middle of night, in the middle of a grassy field that Rick can't hear zombie Shane stumbling up behind him.
Of course, when Rick stabbed Shane, the latter fired off a shot and that would definitely blow your hearing for a bit.

While I don't think a katana would be a bad weapon I don't think it would be an excellent choice. Unless you had one that was actually hand forged I think they would be easily broken. You'd also have to be an expert at it to make it effective. A normal person would have a hard time chopping of heads or even being able to stick it through a zombie skull. It's a sort of unwieldy weapon for the situation imo.
I think this weeks episode had it right. You want sturdy weapons like hatchets/tomahawks, machetes or long knives, hammers, pitchforks, and of course spears ;D

Woodman's Pal Machete + pistol.. something with enough penetrate but plenty of capacity.
I think they are trying to conserve ammo, which is a good tack given the only ammo we know about is that sack Rick took -- and ammo weighs a ton so he couldn't have gotten that much.

It will fit quite nicely on my side with my tomahawk on the other side and Tom Brown Tracker behind.
Now I'm thinking about getting one of the metal workers on here to make me a spear blade I've been dreaming up.
This is the first time that I'm really excited about the next episode. I want to know how they're gonna deal with the approaching horde. Of course, I also want to know how there were so many walkers in such close proximity and they never knew they were there.
Speaking of new episodes and stuff that has happened in the books, what is my best way to start reading these?
I know there are the actual comics, the books that combine the comics and the compendium that combines the books.
Should I just get the compendium to start since it is the best value? What about digitally?
I would prefer full color but I don't think those exist.
Any info would be appreciated.

I put them in my dropbox. so if anyone wants them, PM me your email address and i'll share the folder with you!
Finally watched the last 4 episodes today.. all the zombies are from the cattle escaping and drawing them near.. yea zombies appearing out of thin air. Shane nailing wooden boards into a metal frame.. there will always be things Tht don't make sense..
Redneck did realize he lost his gun.. that nearly bald headed chick needs to go also.. I bet rednecks brother is in the 30 man raping team..
zombies are also moving away from the population centers (like atlanta) in search of food. the protagonists are (were) moving faster than the walkers. now that they've been sitting on the farm for a while, i'm expecting the baddies to keep getting closer.
You could see in the trailer clips in last Sunday's show that the zombie horde is closing in on the farm. I see a zombie version of The Alamo is fixin' to happen... and the crew is running damn low on ammo. They need to improvise in a hurry.[popcorn]
I'm 3 episodes away from catching up with you guys. Hopefully over the weekend I might actually know what you guys were talking about for the past 3 weeks.

Of course, Rick is protecting his own but she ought to get a better grip on "staying together" cause she is either currency or dinner in this new world.

Okay okay okay, just watched the finale last night. Still mad there was not more security around the farm, they didn't have supplies ready, or even a plan of action to get out safely and together. Why even shoot some of them. Get in the cars and get the make the beast with two backs out.
I was kicking the couch when Laurie reacted to Rick killing Shane. I am not or never will be into hitting women but I swear if I was Rick I would have decked her in the face. That is exactly what she wanted Rick to do. She fing told him to do it. How can she be upset at him? God I hate her and Carl.
All in all a great episode. Rick grew some nuts and I can't wait for the prison.

I think that was because they were in a remote place and had no expectation of being overrun. It was just ignorance and now they know better.
Seems to me after Dale was killed they would have considered at least setting up some traps or a regular watch though to keep an eye out for stragglers.
But no escape plan, they didn't think they needed one.
I learned that zombie hordes are very attracted to fresh meat and... helicopters!
I agree on the posted lookouts. Why wouldn't you have that. Did they really feel that safe at the farm? They had lookouts earlier on top of the RV when they were on the road. And with the loss of someone on the farm you'd think they'd be all over the lookouts and the bug out plan.
It was kinda nice to see the farmer get into popping some walkers with the scattergun. But like someone else mentioned... why? You are officially being over run. No "broken arrow" call here, just bug out. But as a viewer I did like the "whack a mole"/Chuck E Cheese game of shooting some zombies while you can. But that also puts them further in the hole ammo-wise.
It is better than the first couple of new season shows. And yes, I'm still sick of Carl and Momma! It will interesting to see what happens next. [popcorn] Hey, who got Dale's bolt action rifle? ???

They did mention with the "swamp" drying up and the cows getting out, that it was like ringing the dinner bell which would explain why the zombie headed that way and possibly not needing lookouts due to natural bounderies.

Start reading the comics. It'll tide you over.
They're really good.

YES they are! I'm hooked, I read them for hours.....
I know this is a shameless plug, but my brother in law is huge into zombies and is doing the final edits on his zombie book at the publisher now. Should be on bookshelves and e-book shelves mid summer.
To tide us over he wrote a little novella called "My Friend Asmodeus" which you can find the link to right here on amazon kindle (or kindle for PC/MAC) -> http://www.amazon.com/My-Friend-Asmodeus-ebook/dp/B006QETLM2 (http://www.amazon.com/My-Friend-Asmodeus-ebook/dp/B006QETLM2)
It's cheap, and a fun and easy read. I know there is a lot to choose from out there, especially with all the comics "available" but if you wanna fund read while you wait for season 3 of TWD give this a try. And come on, it's $2 [evil]
/shameless plug, continue mocking Lori and Carl..... mercilessly
If you insist...

make sure to get the holster for it. if you hike or camp you will use the hell out of it. I've had mine for 20? years now.
You know, I have seen these advertised in American Rifleman forever and have always wanted one. I could wear that SOB out at my farm. But I'd want the engraved model... ZOMBIE KILLER! [laugh]
But seriously, I can't tell you how much crap I chop off/down that this wouldn't fill the bill perfectly. Guess that's why they are still selling the hell out of them since 1941!

finally watched the last 2 episodes :o
ninja chick with the zombie slaves is awesome.
I want to know if she is going to take blondie under her wing as her sidekick.
how is everyone in that show that good of a shot?
how have they not actually run out of ammo. Rick said he had 4 rounds for his gun at the beginning of the season.
i liked the knobbies on the chopper. though i wouldn't want him riding or idling anywhere near me. that thing would bring the hordes.
how exactly did shane nail the wood into the metal frame of the windmill? ???
other stuff that was already mentioned. those last 2 episodes were GREAT!

Hollywood/movie ammo reproduces if you leave it in a box. Remember that he only got out with a big rucksack of guns from the Sheriff's office. Ammo weighs a TON so how much could he have carried? Then again--- rucksack = Tardis? whoooooaaa

Bolt a piece of wood first.
Then nail a second piece into it.
No big deal.
Yeah, I keep wondering about the ammo dump. I just can't see why they don't get them to go into town and hit the armory (ala "Falling Skies") or a gun store for mo' bullits. You can't pig stick all the walkers. [popcorn]

This is not a series that can hold up under close scrutiny...hell it can get shot full of holes with even a cursory glance
Herschel and his endless-ammo pump shotgun.....
them leaving 11ty billion abandoned cars on the highway without thinking to suck some gas out of them for their own vehicles
Rick's emotionally confused sack of shit wife needs a good solid bite taken out of her....I predict she is on the soon-to-be-hit-list
as I said before they could never make her convincingly look pregnant, so she will either mis-carry or bite the dust
No offense to the women on the board (all due respect... this is just a stupid TV show we are talking about) but I've been thinking miscarriage for a while. It would fit the show and clean up the "did Shane knock her up or not and now he's dead" issue once and for all. Besides, I keep rooting for her to get the "Otis treatment" every show. With maybe Carl running to her aid, only to get "Otised" himself. I bet I'd get a lot of fan support for that screen play. [laugh] [popcorn] [bacon] One can only hope. Some actors/actresses do such a good job of making you dislike them you actually enjoy wanting them to get offed. She and Carl should get a bonus check for their jobs! ;)
the fact that everybody dislikes her is the number one reason they'll keep her around...

They do in fact exist
Clearly you were never way uptown in Manhattan during the height of the Crack epidemic in the 1990's
CCNY was one of my accounts when I was doing University and College verticals at Big Blue....
hop off the subway at 137th Street push past the walking dead milling around in circles
and trudge up the hill....
snap, crackle and pop of the (empty) crack vials under my Florsheim Imperials
rat, that sounds like a few areas i looked at apts in brooklyn around 2000. [laugh]
No, they are alive and well in Dallas County. I dealt with them (as did my wife/felony probation officer) at the Frank Crowley criminal courthouse. Many were in full zombie mode (on bond and in jail) but thankfully we were never bit or scratched. [laugh] [thumbsup] Crack is as close to zombie-ism as you can get... OK, no it's #2 to heroin. [bang] That is some aweful shit. I've seen all I want to see of what that can do to people. Or what used to be people... :P
Actually the crack "flame-outs" were more like the Walking Dead than the smack-heads I've dealt with
they reach a point where they go vacant....soulless eyes....shuffle...
usually a foot dragging behind them from an gangrenous infection (probably from stepping on broken crack vial shards)
pretty harmless...if they don't bite or scratch you (instant hep C)
no menace like a heroin junkie looking for fix money
Doctors make Zombies every day. It's called Thorazine....
and Stelazine....talk about a make the beast with two backsing chemical lobotomy
stole some from my mother as a kid...
thought they might be her newest diet pills
turns out they prescribed them to her at the happy house
after a particularly psychotic crash after a speed run on Dexedrine
no buzz with them!!!
3 days of zombie....
went and bought a PDR after that
You know some great pharmaceutical company is going to come up with a "live longer" pill. With some serious side effects and I'm not talking hair loss or 12 hour erections.
People will still take the pill knowing they will die, come back to life and eat their own family. :-\

was having this discussion with a friend last night.
I can accept the zombies because it's the premise. It's fantasy, you can set whatever rules you want as long as you follow them.
the problem is they have also set it up with normal everyday rules (aside from the whole becoming a zombie thing)

This is exactly how I feel about it. The zombie part is fantasy but to me the way the act and react is way more unbelievable than the zombies themselves.

excellent explanation.
unless they've already established certain things in the fictional world (i.e. "people rise from the dead and eat the living") then unestablished things (i.e. "never ending ammo supply") are anomalous and look weird.
if it was already established that everyone's guns replicated ammo from thin air, then we could go with it. sort of like the replicators in Star Trek. it is established early on that is a feature of that fictional universe.
for instance, in Walking Dead, it's been obliquely established that zombies like to cut grass, which explains why all the yards are tended, months after a zombie apocalypse.
The zombie virus also stunts the grass growth.
Like it's not obvious. [roll]

so a zombie pushing a lawnmower would not be out of place!
Great back handed reference to the joke on the DMF Joke Thread (page 78) about the lawyer taking the poor, homeless families back to his place... where the grass is a foot tall! [laugh] [laugh]

I can dig it. The whole zombie thing is really a sideshow, just like being in space was a sideshow for Firefly. Take some ordinary, likely dumbass, people and put them into an extraordinary situation so they can be bigger dumbasses to others. From what I recall, everything in TWD related to human/zombie interaction is pretty fanciful and ad hoc, while human/human interaction is more realistic.
I don't know. I guess I wasn't expecting it to be a documentary.
Ah finally got to see the last episode. What's your take on the armless, mouthless zombie slaves of ninja chick? Finally some one else smart enough to use an eternal weapon. Yup more holes and idiot decisions. RV guy, yea let me go near the door after the 2 jumped on instead of driving away... that's a great idea...
Common sense abounds ;)
Arm-less, mouth-less zombies I don't think it would work. Even without arms and a jaws I think they would still try to attack and eat you. [popcorn]

well not good news we may not have anymore walkers
It wasn't that long ago that Dish Network was proudly offering AMC HD to its customers (especially since DirecTV didn't, which has since been rectified) but now the company is willing to let the network's contract expire this summer, taking new episodes of Mad Men, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead away from subscribers. The source of the sudden animosity, according to a press release from AMC, is continuing litigation between it and Dish Network over dropping the Voom HD channels back in 2008, leading to them going dark soon after. The LA Times reports Dish Network claims the denial of its appeal on a decision in the case has nothing to do with its sudden change of heart is solely about AMC's high renewal cost for a relatively low viewership. Whatever you believe, the sniping and threats will likely continue right up until the contract runs out June 30th, which is at least long enough for this season of Mad Men to finish on its own.
Let ne know if it goes through n some of you wont be able to watch it..
I predict the series will jump the shark by the 3rd or 4th episode, with a 60% certainty.
I'll watch to the end.
If they can maintain a little of season 2 mixed with the violence of season 1 I'll be happy.
Also I want Carl to get his face eaten off.
;D
The way I see it it's a survivlist game..carl and mommy dearest are always protected and have never really had to fight to "survive" so there will come that day when rick won't be around to save them countless times. Even tho carl is a badass in the comics I would like to think that he will devolpe that way in the show. But from what I have read before they want to keep the story from the comic and show different so their are no spoilers. But if that is real life in "that world" there is no way that Lori will live long. She is not a survival list but a crazy nut bag.....
I should get together with Monsterlover and a couple other of you zombie lovers and start our own cable zombie show. It would kick ass! [thumbsup] ;)

my feeling is they are trying to stick as closely as they can to it. shows like this rarely have more than 3-4 seasons anyway. if they can stick to the original material and go that long, then they've won. i think they know if they go off-book too far that they'll lose a big part of their fan base.

Hope so. US TV could use a little more influence from the Beeb and not let shows run over long because they are trying to milk every dime they can. Of course there's Dr. Who which has been running since the bronze age... But they manage to keep it from the jump some how.

Dr Who is special because it is campy and low budget and that's part of the appeal. Also, you have people in their 80s who watched Grand Moff Tarkin as the Doctor and still love the show, AND you have this build-in mechanism for putting a new person in the role every few years... VOILA perfect series! Writers' dream!
Holy crap... I knew both roles were Peter Cushing, but somehow my brain disassociated the Dr. from the Star Wars.

my feeling is they are trying to stick as closely as they can to it. shows like this rarely have more than 3-4 seasons anyway. if they can stick to the original material and go that long, then they've won. i think they know if they go off-book too far that they'll lose a big part of their fan base.
Thats why I'm excited about S3!!
*Spoiler from end of Season 2***
Seeing the prison in the season finale of S2 was awesome (probably the only thing I liked about the finale) and knowing the characters to come are gonna be pretty cool. They've got at least 3 more seasons if they stick to the comics.
Speaking of comics....I now have 82-101. if anybody wants those I can put them in the dropbox and send out the link

The network? Like AMC? I doubt that... this is one of their, if not their biggest property. They have a hot set, Madmen, Breaking Bad, Hell on Wheels and WD. They would be nuts to drop it - I can't think of another show on the air that gets so much 'water cooler' chatter presently.
Season 3 starts in october!
In the prison!

From what I read, and correct me if I'm wrong, it had to do with some cable companies not picking up AMC plus there was some other stuff going on with the production company and the show itself. Haven't heard anything in a while, but with them advertising the show back in October, seems they worked everything out.
I know I heard something that caught my attention... what little attention I have left! [roll] Maybe the cable company issue had something to do with it. Again, can't remember. But you guys are right. Why would you drop a popular show like WD. The production costs can't be that high (zombie make up can't cost too much) and it's not like it's overflowing with giant name brand actors/actresses demanding multi million dollar contracts. Although I would kick in some $$$ to see the irritating kid offed and his brains gobbled up by zombies. Does that me a bad person? [laugh] [popcorn] [bacon]
Re: production costs- I bet they're more than you think.
How many zombies X people to apply that makeup at 5 or 6 hours or however long it takes per. Those makeup people aren't $8/hr type folks. . .
iirc, walking dead is $3MM/episode.
Dish network has dropped AMC ...so no WD for me ...that sucks
online only
Better than no dead
Where can you see it online? I didn't get to see most of the second season since we don't have cable. I had to rely on the word of others. So sad :'(

Me No has cable, and if there are a few people that fall into this category I may be able to see if I can set up something where you can stream the episode from my dropbox or something. I'm not sure if AMC would like that, but at the same time, I don't think the creators would have liked me feeding you guys their comics, either [evil]
let me know and I'll see if I can figure something out
Lol
I'm actually good, we get amc
I had to find the first few shows of season 2 online because I didn't get into the show until S2 already started.
:)
I'm watching a little of the marathon
They need to call this show The Rocking Dead cause its great!
:D :D :D
Prison ftw!
Good episode. Noticed lots more in the way of walkers and gore which is what everyone was craving yet trying to keep a good story going.
Looks like Carl stepped it up a little
I also noticed suppressed firearms. Wonder where those came from.

I couldn't tell but it didn't look right. Neither did Carl's
Nice!
Great start to the season, nice drama/zombie-carnage balance. [thumbsup]
Rick seems a lot more battle hardened this time around.
Didn't even need two seconds to think about cutting off the farmers leg.
Some nice head bustin' zombie killing action last night! [thumbsup] But what was up with the hatchet job on the vet's leg? Everyone is infected and if you get munched on by a zombie you are toast anyway. Right? What's the point? Other than good TV visual effects what was the purpose of hacking off his leg?
Am I over thinking a TV show again? [laugh]
Yeah. I agree. Where the hell did the suppressed semi auto handguns come from? Curious minds want to know. [popcorn] [bacon]
Good point fastwin, a slight slip up from the writers I guess? Or maybe the argument can be the farmers weren't infected because of their distance from the city? They can't lose the doc. I have been trying to figure where those new weapons came from too. Maybe acquired from pillaging.
They didn't develop the samurai sword wielding character much for this episode.

Well it looks like there's a bit of a time jump from end of season 2 to this one. Look at how long Virgils hair is and how preggo Lori is. End of season 2 she was obviously with child, but now she's fit to burst.

Seemed plausible to me.
As shown by the board fence at the tail end of season 2... the walkers ain't exactly creative. They only 'defeated' the fence through a sheer press of numbers/mass.

Everybody's infected with the walker virus, but walker bites are *always* fatal, likely because of some pathogen. Chopping the leg off may save or prolong Hershel's life by stopping the bite infection. What kinds of infection he'll get after having his leg lopped off with a freaking axe remains to be seen.
The effect of time passing are clear outside of weapons. The group moves as a solid zombie-killing unit and only have problems when split up. Either way, I'd still like to see Laurie and Carl loaded up on the blue meth from Breaking Bad and tossed into a zombie pit.

A Komodo dragons mouth is probably cleaner than walker mouth by a long shot. Gotta know that bite would fester and go necrotic in no time. Axe is nasty, but probably not as nasty

I'm glad to hear that.
I just started to watch this series on Netflix and while it started out great it has turned into a soap opera.
Has their ever been a more un-likeable carehacter (sp.?) than Laurie?
I keep hoping that they will drive off and leave her or maybe shoot her "by mistake" (like Daryl). ;D
And what's up with the cowboy boots (Rick) and ring/strap boots (Laurie) ?
Wouldn't you wear something more suited to running?
Anyways,they have some great make-up artists working there. [thumbsup]
yup last season was boring ..the show was low on $$$
now ...why would you relegate the remaining prisoners to virtual death ? ( especially the guy he locked outside ) When there is safety in numbers ?
they could be just 3 strike pot smokers or just B&E's ..not killers like machete head guy , seems to me it would be best to bring them into the group
The only way to guarantee they wont be trouble is to end them.
That's what id do at least :)
bad enough you can't sleep well with zombies everywhere so segregating the "unknowns" is the right thing to do IMO. Rick's become an asshole, finally. [thumbsup]

more mouths to feed when they are essentially hunter gathers. Also, as someone else said, they have enough on their plate to worry about with the zombies, no need to add unknown prisoners to that situation.

well... rick did make reference to planting crops on one section of the prison grounds.
additional people are more mouths to feed, but also more eyes to watch and more arms to plant/sow.
Would you really want to trust criminals in a survival situation? This wasn't a blue collar prison it seemed
Plus after the whole Shane 'experience' I think the group and especially Rick want to surround themselves with people they can trust their lives with.

Trust criminals? Trust no one. I can assure you that if it's The Walking Ducati Monster Forum Dead, you're the protein in some delicious chili and I'm wearing your ears in a ritualistic mating dance. Nothing personal.
How did they end up trusting the hillbillies? Anyway, the right choice, but they will simply integrate the remaining 2 eventually.
I go better grilled with some minced garlic and chopped cilantro... I'm stuffed full of protein.

Anecdote about the song above. Some group did a 'dance remix' of it. At my last job we had an old comp set up as a jukebox and said dance mix comes on. A somewhat bubbly younger woman who did marketing was bopping around a bit, singing along very merrily as I walked by. I paused and cocked my head
"Man, that's pretty inappropriate a song to 'dance mix'"
"Huh? Why? It's a good song"
"It is a good song, but it's about The Troubles - the conflict between North Ireland and England and an IRA bombing in England. Not exactly light dance stuff, yah know"
"Oh wow - I'd never really listened to the words"

wow.. papadoc.. forgot about that cretin
No one has mentioned that Merle(sp?) is finally back? FAIL!
I think we all knew he was eventually going to reappear, but it took them damn long to bring him back.
Guess we need a spoilers tag now!? - Probably needed right from the get go really.
Dunno why... but I was pondering the machete and machete like bent that seems prevalent in 'anti-zombie' hand weapons...
Really, I think there's better options. The objective is to 'kill the brain' right? So you're using a cutting tool on a hard surface - the skull. While it is conducted/weighted for chopping, it's still a chopper.
Going back to my childhood fascination with knights etc I recalled the horseman's hammer. A purpose built skull buster - Came in a variety of flavors combining, small area hammer face (many times with teeth/claws or short spikes) on one side of the head, some sort of spike or axe on the other and some times a stabbing spike on the top, inline with the shaft.
Forget chopping at crap... explode it.
True. I was wondering when he was getting back
Slide Panda I think you're on to something. Goes along with my spear theory. I like it. I was just as a renasiance festival and saw one exactly like you're describing.
Okay, is it just me or has anyone else had just about enough of Andrea's mouth. She is the most self righteous person in the whole show. And she goes from not trusting the dude to wanting to stay in about 4 hours. I just hate her character.

I mentioned a Boar spear a bit ago. Nice cross bar to keep a charging boar from just carrying on, sliding up the haft of the spear. Don't want some creeper sliding along, yick.
Rigid skull smasher = good (mace, hammer, morning star)
Flexible smasher = bad (flail) - as dangerous to an untrained user as those on the other end.

Man, half of last season was spoiled by this thread. Why it's still not updated, I have no clue.
Why not use that cow killer that Bardem used in "No country for old men "
use the cars to reload the tank with a on board compressor
boom right to the brain
Not a terrible idea. Extend it so there's some distance between you and Mr Z and you may be onto something :D

Rough night at the prison!
How about that Carl ...
I didn't like that at all.
That's not how the book went, and the storyline now is just weird. What the hell are they all going to do with a baby with nothing to feed it?
And this just makes Carl look like he's gone off the deep end
Well, I see where you're coming from. Its not like Carl has had model parents or environment to grow up in.
I can see not wanting a loved one to become a shambler. Only one way to prevent it.

But she wasn't dead yet.. They could have laid low for a bit, Rick would have come looking for them.
I mean, kid shot his mom and she wasn't dead yet...
She was probably minutes away from it though.
Seems like the real issue is she wanted out.
They probably could have waited like you said. Delivered it with peg leg and clean knives.

Yeah, talk about crappy timing.
I think the guy who set up the broken open gates and the deer bait was a shitty script job though.
He was locked out into a yard full of zombies by Rick. Unarmed. And we hear him screaming and such. Having him show up later alive is just demonicus ex machina.
Kids going to need a therapist..............hope they can find one..........wait Governor might be good to talk to
Gotta say did not see that coming

He must have lived a long time like that. When rick locked him out wasn't Carol's hair short? Last nights episode showed it grown out more than ever.

So, say Carl didn't shoot her. So that means at some point walker-lori will be all shambling around with no pants on and her guts hanging out?
That Carl is like a serial killer in the making.

There are several people I want "offed" on this show. Carl, his Mom, etc... But young Carl is stepping up to the plate shootin' bad critters. [thumbsup] Much more interesting than last season. [popcorn] [bacon] [clap]
Man, it's really tough to avoid this thread until I can watch on Tuesday nights.
The pregnant dog is dead.
[bow_down] did you guys notice Carl repacking his silencer?
Missed that :o
well, at least we now know how all the zombies came about...
We do? I miss something?
tonights episode is in dropbox [thumbsup]

Well at least my tax dollars are going toward something useful. [laugh]
So some thoughts on last night's episode...
- I'm still not convinced that Carl shot Lori. The fat walker implies that she was eaten, but bones, skull and all? I don't buy it 'till I see it. With Carol yet unaccounted for I think she may have dragged Lori to the infirmary. She does have some medical training now thanks to Hershel.
- What is up with the Governor pushing the beverages all the time? First the sqirrely sidekick's tea and now the Jim Jones punch. Suggestive drugs in there? Zombie brain smoothie?
- I noticed that Michonne saw the Sheriff bag that used to have Rick's gun stash in it. Seems like they killed the Vatos? Or was it in the van when it disappeared and Merle may have ended up with it? Speaking of Merle, he's not pushing the racist card anymore. Being a bad-ass gladiator will do that to you I suppose. [cheeky]
- Last but not least... WHO THE make the beast with two backs IS ON THE PHONE?? Hoping it's an outside party. That would certainly make things interesting!
You haven't read the comics have you?
Outside, yeah that's one way to put it.

Lisa has and she always wants to tell me what happens in them.
I prefer to not know so this is all entirely new to me.
P.S. - Back to Michonne for a minute...
I can't see the Gov. just letting her walk away like that. He definitely wants her head in a fish tank!
They have a disagreement in the comics as well.
Thanks for the Dropbox !!

They ignore the dead.
Please let her be dead forever

They screwed that theory to me, when you can lure zombies with a dead deer. Maybe fresh kill is still appetizing to them..

My friend reminded me today that Andrea left the farm with the bag. I'm a little IZ_ on that but it seems to ring a bell. Will have to re-watch the exodus from Hershel's and refresh my memory.

You are correct Andrea had that bag last.
I'm not a fan of Merle.
If I were Glenn, I would have taken the shot.
I've never been in the situation but I think if a threat were to suddenly move quickly, the hammer would hit fast then he could pull out...
But she rather move back n fall down..
For the love of God, will someone please kill off Andrea. Not sure how much more I can take with this dumb slobbering self righteous pregnant dog.

For the most part yes...but T-dog seemed to be an exception to that
he lined-up right into the oldtime racist Hollywood/Cinema character-scripting favorite going back decades....the "sacrificial negro"......
a good minority fellow who didn't deserve what he got while saving the white folk
this series is a hobo stew of odds and ends, scraps and pieces that make for a marginally digestible gruel

Thought of you during this episode. Still not sure what's up with the scientist and his experiments.
Next week is "mid season finale". Should be good but with tons of hangers.
I agree Maggie's a gone'r.
I think that experiment was driven by the governor because he wants to know if there's anything mentally left of his daughter.

juicers. . .
[laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh]
[bacon] I knew AMC was not going to show them [thumbsdown] btw Andrea got a nice turd pincher [cheeky]
Maggie dropped the ball with Merle at gunpoint. She shouldn't have even said anything. She should have just squeezed the trigger.
Good to see the showdown in the governors house.
Question...with infected glass in the eye, is the governor toast? Which could also mean Machonni(sp) would be as well with the cuts after her head went into the tank.
What makes you think the glass was infected?
Because it was part of the tank used for marinating zombie heads?

This show definitely fits in the category of "brain candy." No nutritional value what so ever, the more you watch the more you want, etc.
Everyone is infected. So if you swim in the guts of the dead or drink a little head fish tank water your screwed either way. The bite from the dead is instant conversion.
The kid character went from dope to hard ass mother shooting hero real quick.
The Merle character just keeps getting screwed. If he loses another appendage he should really consider suicide.
I can get passed the dead coming to life. Nailing boards to steel windmills was an odd scene. Shotguns that hold 100 shells. But what I can't accept; the brick in the governor's apartment, it's fake wall paneling! [thumbsdown]

the way the mid-season show ended pisses me off. ugh.
Watch them miraculously survive. They should be zombie fodder, but most likely they will be used as leverage to gain access to the prison. Maybe Merle will learn his lesson, or maybe he needs to become a zombie with a knife attached to his arm.

Every show has it's ups and downs (see what I did there? [laugh] hahahaha!). I've thrown (as we all have) a lot of rocks at WD the last couple of seasons.

Quote from: duccarlos on February 13, 2013, 12:19:52 PM

[laugh] Yes I do. That being said I still stand behind my opinion that she may not be dead. It's only been a week in the timeline that she hasn't been seen. If the prison is big enough to have a wall breach that the group is not aware of then it's plausible someone else is hunkered down in a remote corner somewhere and dragged her off, patched her up etc. Assuming that Carl is full of shit or missed - which is also plausible. A walker with a full belly does not a dead Lori make.
Carl didn't kill her. You never saw it happen and when Rick came back through, you never saw a body...She aint dead
then we are as doomed as they are
pray she is done
Doesn't that actress's name still appear in the credits? (perhaps just for that shadowy cameo). ???

Okay so everyone at the prison can shoot a zombie straight through the face from 50 feet every time they try but as soon as someone else is shooting at them they can't hit the side of a barn?

I can totally accept that it's a lot harder to shoot accurately under fire. There are a few people on this forum who have had that experience. Maybe one of them will chime in ;)
Yes, zombies don't shoot back. There is scientific evidence that proves that true. [thumbsup] Wouldn't it be a pregnant dog if they could??!! Now that would add some flavor to the show. [popcorn] [bacon] ;)
Okay I get your point I really do but There was one guy on a tower with 3 people shooting at him. He can only shoot at one person at a time they must have put up 100 rounds before they got him. Plus rather they have a gun or not the threat of being bit by said zombie is just as pressure filled as taking fire. They pop off headshots at any distance for 2 whole seasons taking down countless zombies and right then all of sudden they lose every ounce of shooting prowess they have? I don't buy it.
Also crazy guy #1 (ie the Governer) shot Tom Petty from accross the whole yard dead in the head but then couldn't hit Grandpa 50 feet away?
All I'm saying is that this is just another in a long long long list of inaccuracies this show portrays.
Plus Andrew Lincoln seems to be trying for an Oscar or whatever with this whole Rick going crazy deal but it just comes off as stupid to me. I actually like the premise he just ruins it.

I just take it for what it is and have fun watching.
I overlook the unlimited ammo, unlimited gasoline, scavenged machine guns (cause those are just laying all over the place), lack of working showers despite everyone looking mostly clean, 2-3000 calorie dietary intake (cause nobody's loosing any weight) etc
:D
I know, I know. Even as much as I pregnant dog about I still watch it every week.

Ya, until the governor shot the newly likable prisoner, who in previous episodes was ready to get more acquainted with the young babysitter, the show was a little slow.
I did like the dialogue between the two brothers. It was amusing that Daryl just found out is brother is a dickhead.
Back to the governor shooting the newly likeable prisoner. 9mm to the forehead from over 1000 yards! That governor sure can shoot........

Best quote "The mat said welcome."
Carl has issues !!
agreed best episode so far
I wasn't too impressed but maybe I expected Rick to be banished.
I finally saw all the episode.
great storytelling
the hitchhiker... damn, that was cold.. cold as hell.
i don't know why Rick still wastes ammo.. "cover your ears".. bullshit.. why don't they all carry some kind of pike or poker for CQB with the zombies?
Quote from: duccarlos on March 04, 2013, 03:44:33 AM
Best episode of the season.
+5 .....I was just getting ready to give up on it, as I was very bored with this season so far. I think this episode brought some humanity/reality into the mix; made things more real with finding him, instead of just doing a flashback or something.
Loved the end when they reversed and grabbed the pack after looking at it/the road as they passed.

Still sayin' a horsemans hammer would do nicely. But yeah - something that doesn't need ammo should be on hand all the time.
The backpack pick up scene was simple, but so well done.

Horseman's hammer. Nice.
I said it a while back in here... some place. Tyresse is pretty close with that framing hammer. It's just needs the claw end banged together to a point, a stabby bit at the top of the head and a hole in the handle for a strap would about top it off. Eh, perhaps a pointed cap for the butt end of the handle too while I'm imagining things.
Has to be something pokey and swingy. Swingy wouldn't have helped when he cracked the window 3 inches like that. Pokey.
I was thinking a bit like so - but with a bit longer spike

I think Rick needs to join his wife soon
not before he boinks the Samurai sword chick though
there was a scene in the last episode where it looked like they were starting to sniff each other

That's something that has really dragged on me during the series.
I can accept that people rose from the dead and eat the living.
I cannot accept that someone at some point doesn't say "Damn, you smell like a new york garbage can in July"
AND they are wearing the same clothes almost every episode.
I knew a guy in high school who wore the same shirt for like a month at a time, by the end he'd smell like a dumpster.
Of course, now he is the retired former founder of a genetic research company in NorCal and is worth like 82 billion

complete waste of time episode....
irrational, moronic, pderbyerous
come to think of it....like most episodes
a chance to put a hole through the governor ...the guy who already attacked them
eliminate their leader? nope not Rick
but instead they chat it up....give me a break
Rick needs to die....they all need to die
so Rick lets the governor go so he has now put the rest of his gaggle of geeks at risk in a war
with leadership like Rick's they don't need enemies
Second he stepped in and realised he was alone rick should have took him out..

The last show reminded me of why I stopped watching the X Files and 24 TV shows long ago. They would NEVER shoot the bad bastards when they had the chance! [bang] Do the producers really think the show would sink if a couple of bad guys got offed?
When I watched this last episode my wife came in the room wondering what I was ranting about... "who do you want to shoot who?" That's the nice version of "shoot the mother make the beast with two backser now!" which is what I was really saying. I know, it's weird, but I yell at my TV sometimes. But I bet most of you do the same thing! [laugh] [laugh]
Honestly, do you think the show ratings would crumble if the Gov. got drilled between the eyes? Just replace him with another bad guy/adversary down the road. How about a zombie Governor? [popcorn] ;)
The governor got his eyeball stabbed out by a shard of glass from a zombie head fishtank.

I don't think so. There is definitely more of a back story since Milty said he knew Gov Phil before the fudgepockalypse but I doubt it was as his boss.
They are probably just former employees of Mr. Lumbergh

Zombies eat grass for roughage between brain buffets.
Do zombies poop? This has not been covered in TWD or any other zombie themed story I've experienced. If they need to feed I would assume that some sort of foul waste product would be produced.

Funny, these TV zombies don't seem to be picky about brains over flesh. Guess their delicate palates have not evolved to that advanced state yet. Kind of like my teenage step son... junk food and chicken tenders. [roll]
I can understand the whole digestive process. They eat some flesh and then soil themselves, shenaniganike anyone will notice.
What I don't understand: how are the zombies not dehydrated raisins? No, not raisins, more like leather? Not one of them is seen drinking anything! How can they walk around all day, mouth wide open, moaning and not at the least have a dry throat?
In the next few episodes I want to see one of those zombies with a bottle of water or I call bullsh!t.

Good episode.
Indeed one more douche bag out of the way...so many more to go
watching this show is like having reefer munchies and a bag of fried pork rinds,
they look good, don't taste too awful
but you feel like shit after you consume them
I liked it too. The show is hit or miss for everyone. I thought "Edward Scissorhands" did a good job of playing a crazy douche. I think he was well cast for the crazy douche one handed brother. Made a good zombie in the end and had a moment of attempted redemption. Ten bonus points for the prison team.
It will be fun to see how "cross bow" brother gets revenge. And I'm glad "dreadlock/ninja gal" is still there. She adds a lot more to the story than others. But you can't have everybody on the front lines. Some cast members are throw away canon fodder.
Am I wrong but was that the season finale? AMC keeps running these TWD marathons and it's wearing my dvr out! ;D It will take me a full day to sort through them and see if there are any that I have missed. Some of the episode descriptions I remember but some I don't and I don't recognize a lot of the episode titles... never paid attention to the titles. Some of these recorded repeats go back to the 1st and 2nd seasons! [bang]
Slightly off subject but I was thinking what happened to the show (can't even remember the name of it or the channel) where people on Earth go through some time portal back into the prehistoric past of Earth and start a new colony because the Earth is going to shit. Bad guys slip through too and even in the prehistoric past there is a good vs evil fight among humans. Sound familiar? I think Steven Spielberg even had a hand in it's production. Is it gone? I remember reading somewhere the production costs were off the chart.
End of minor thread jack...
The next episode is the season finale, when they attack the prison.
Terra Nova lasted 1 season. They could have made it interesting if they would have made it less campy.
Ah... my bad. I thought it ended funny for season finale. The big prison attack would make a more proper ending.
Terra Nova! That's it. Thanks for the memory jolt. Maybe the production costs didn't match the viewship and the advertisers slowly walked away with their hands in their pockets.
Great episode
Meryl stole the show , great shot of his eyes as a Zombie
Betcha Daryl goes to kill Gov but finds Andrea , then they all just run............ and Gov chase's next season
Thanks for the DL..
Fastwin, your DVD series recording should have an option for "new episodes only"
I'll check that out. Thanks for the tip! [thumbsup] [beer] I am an electronics Neanderthal but I still sleep well at night not caring about it. ;)

The World war Z book was good, not sure how they are going to adapt it to a movie as it is told as a series of stories from different people in different parts of the world.
I'm thinking the Gov got bit(notice wounded arm last two episodes), and is slowly being consumed by the virus. Should be an interesting episode the weekend either way.

Re season 3 finale:
Lame.
make the beast with two backsing lame. Does nobody have the balls to pull a trigger with the governor standing in front of them? Everyone turns into a deer in headlights. He's a lucky guy.
Carl is now hard core. His new name is li'l governor.
All I gotta say is YES!!!
Ding dong the witch is dead the witch is dead the witch is dead.
I agree about the deer though.
So I've been following this thread, wondering why y'all keep watching this show, given that most people just seem to pregnant dog about every episode. Well, I take it back. I'm now with y'all.
Rick is unable to find the governor. What does he do? Bring back dozens of useless mouths to feed. How the hell is he gonna support all these people?
I think Carl needs to run this outfit.

I liked the episode , great finale
EXCEPT for obvious what the hell Andrea ?? lets have a chit chat with zombie "come a calling"
Just shoot him what the hell is up with peeps just shoot the Gov
Carl yeah baby ..He shoots I would have done the same thing Kids got his head screwed on right ( for the Zombie world )
Well with old people there zombie fodder , you will always be able to get away because zombies are feeding on the old slow peeps

Rick needs to go....badly....and yes the old folks...rides past a viable young back-packer a few episodes back but brings in the Alzheimer's crew to feed
The scripting of this show has the intellectual consistency of a 2nd grader....and I am being generous in that assessment
glad to see Andrea got it she was waaaaay overdue for a chomping
heck I am glad when I see any of them get bitten at this point

Right after saying "wait, she said she knows how to operate the safety... on a revolver?"
i didn't hear her say anything about the safety. I did hear the casing, but decided that it might have been her body falling over and the hand cannon hitting the floor.

I was thinking the King Cobra was the .357, but you're right.. Which snake is the .44? ...Ah, Anaconda...
I have a King Cobra, I wonder why they made two .357 models in the same basic range....

awesome
I was yelling at the TV for Andrea to die already, and I got super excited when they showed that big nasty bite mark on her neck. It was perfect! My wife just shook her head and told me that it was dissonant resonance, whereby seemingly all of us wanted her dead and we "put it out there and it happened." I said, "if that was the case, she would have been gone 3 seasons ago!"

You guys are playing right into the show's producer's hands.
Seriously.
Is there ANYONE in the show who is truly likeable that matters?
I remember everyone hated Carl.
I still dislike him. He's just a little psychopath. Sheriff Rick is buckling, but you know that will produce some good stuff later. He'll explode and Glenn will have to shoot him in the leg or something.
I'm glad Merle is gone. He was such a predictable turd. His last scenes were the best, I love how Michonne got under his skin esp considering he was a racist/skinhead type.

My theory about Merle the bigot:
After the episode where Daryl shows his scars, I got the feeling that dad was the true racist and he just tried to beat that into the boys. Merle just acted racist because he thought he was supposed to. (Connected to this is when Rick asked Merle if he knew why he does the things he does) Deep down, both brothers aren't that way. Only Daryl was savvy enough to figure that out for himself. It's almost as if Michonne sensed this (her character seems to be very perceptive) and used it to mind-make the beast with two backs ol' one track Merle.

Yeah, I don't spend that much time sie-ko-anal-eye-zing them.
Merle was a klanny.
Daryl is just smart enough to call a spade a spade.
**edit
ok that sounds bad. I mean Daryl is practical rather than anything else and seems to want to distance himself from Merle in some ways.

This wins. Forever
now that walking dead is dormant for a while I have switched my focus back to my other favorite series to hate, where you instinctively root for all the folks to get killed off;
"Revolution"
acting as bad as the scripting, insipid predictable dialogue, inexplainable idiocy....it is a close second to Walking
At least Walking had the zombie factor. I really tried not only to watch, but to also like Revolution. Unfortunately I got lost since I would fall asleep half way through every single episode.
Revolution is awful

Weak... and too much kissy kissy for my taste. I was expecting more :-\
Give it time.
Talking Dead said ep 2 and 3 get very physically and emotionally destructive.
Based on the comics, I'm wondering if Beth is going to get the axe.
They also said they are bring on the characters of Abraham, Rosita and "the dr" from the comics as well. Abe kicked a ton of ass. Should be good.
I liked it ...how Rick was farming ...and taking no gun when he goes outside the fence
Showing life gets back to "Normal" even in the Zombie Apocalypse
The best part for me was when Rick found that crazy lady in the woods ..the way she looked ..her desperation ..her suicide ...then Rick not killing her ..just leaving her
Great episode I thought
Also gotta say the matter of fact way of killing walkers at the fence line ...crazy

I thought that's why bigmofo boyfriend was upset about it. That someone went in and offed them and dragged them out and burned them.\
I mean, if they died, why would anyone hide the fact? And at least from the zombie bbq in the previous season, we know that burning doesn't stop zombies.

I thought the same thing. If he had actually poured that much gasoline and lit it, he would be hairless.
As for the matches and all the other stuff, China wasn't effected by the zombies and they are still producing full force. Profits are a bit down though.
Still -- seems like a huge waste of gas. Given it needs to be produced and whatever they have is scavenged....
They're more afraid of the sickness than the zombies. They're burning everything that might be infested.

Same places they got all the rest of their stuff. Scrounged it from stores and homes or from Woodbury.
The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was likely Carol that did the vigilante murder. It foreshadowed by her reaction to Tyreese telling her to look after his sister.
I'm assuming that massive group of walkers the antibiotics group encountered was the student population of the vet school? That was a lot of walkers.
We still don't have an answer about the walker feeder though. It doesn't seem it's happened since they went into basically a lockdown.

I think it funny that a bunch of Zombies can knock over a fence to a PRISON! I would grab a backhoe (since there is so much fuel around) and build a dry moat. Once it gets too full pour some fuel on it and have a Zombie-Q.
While I love the show it has some serious holes.

This was my thought too. at least with a moat they would all fall in and be trapped, away from the fence. Then go out every day and poke them in the head. Clearly the walkers aren't very good climbers or they would just climb the fence.
Yes....a dry moat full of pointy sticks!
The backhoe used for digging the dry moat (now full of pointy sticks) for a little zombie bowling when things get a little dull..... ;D
But the engine sound would attract them while digging the moat. I agree with the spike fence though. Keep them away from chain link fence.
Good point about a few zombies knocking down a PRISON fence. Not likely. Yep. Lots of holes in the story but good enough to kill an hour.

How is their only water source a muddy pond? I would think the jail had a well someplace as it appears to be out in the middle of no where.
They need a way to figure out how to make the walkers decay faster, like lime or something. whacking them in the head takes a lot of effort.

I'd like to poke some walkers in the head. I have a list... do they actually have to be zombies? I could always lie and say they were. ;D
I have always wondered how zombies sneak up on people, rotting flesh has to be a bit stinky. I do so like the idea of the rock crusher. I do not however want the job of clearing the goo from under it. :o
If you got them in a garabage truck you could crush them and dump them out.
Use a combine

I'm thinking that both Carol and Glenn did the killing of the two sick people, which is how Glenn caught it. Think about the amount of time it would take one person to kill two people and drag them outside with nobody noticing.
So
New theory:
Prison virus came from the water supply, which was drawn from the small creek outside the fence.
Contaminated by the governor.
Cause that's how he'd roll.
Possibly. Still think it was a flu strain that started with the pigs and then mutated over to human contagion via airborne means.
I'm thinking you might be right with the Gov doing something to the water. Which also plays into the reason the trail went cold because he is right outside the gate. He also might be the one feeding the rats to the walkers at the fence so they crowd it and get into the prison yard. Its a way for him to use the walkers to do his work for him and the dirty water makes everyone weak inside so less for him to fight.

We all knew the governor was coming back. He's a delightfully sick bastard! He's going to keep making their lives miserable little by little until he can confront them and that's when Carol comes back to save the day.
And Mashone gets to cut his head off.
And that's when the show will jump the shark.
She pokes him in his last good eye, blinds him, he is swarmed by walkers, starts swinging like a blindfolded kid after a pinata, fade to black, screaming..... Ford commercial. :D

So
New theory:
Prison virus came from the water supply, which was drawn from the small creek outside the fence.
Contaminated by the governor.
Cause that's how he'd roll.
Common sense would say they should be boiling all their water. We know they lack common sense.

Since they are pulling water from the creek, I can't imagine they would not be boiling it. That makes no sense.
then again...
.... plot device...
What is bugging me (within the zombie world) is where are they getting gasoline from?
They need to come back with a reference to some tank they found at the prison.. prisons usually have a reserve tank for vehicles and some kind of tanks for generators.
Seems they could be using the prison's generators once in a while...
who knows..?
One thing though
the music in this episode, especially around Herschel was spot-on..
the ending roll? Wow. It was very powerful for me.
Herschel wants to survive, but he wants to remain civilised. He even has problems stabbing the dead guy before he turns.
The end scene of him bawling was moving.
Contrast that with the scene of Carl mowing walkers with an M16 next to dad. Pure redneck heaven.
That was a good episode.

All they need is a hand pump, some hose and to find one of those massive gas stations with 40,000 gallon plus storage tanks. The ethanol gas might be jelly but a little Stabil and you have nothing to worry about. Next year they may have to switch to Seam Foam but they'll worry about it later.

You have to think this is also already 3 years into the apocolypse. That fuel would be crap or expended by now...
So why not grab a Humvee ?? seriously if your going to go on a run its the best vehicle for the job
plus its diesel as well
Because if they grabbed a HumVee the producers would not be getting paid for product placement! ;D
Why would you need a humvee? I would think that that would be complete over kill. The road system is still very much intact.
Plus, they have that a full size pickup (dually?) to unnecessarily burn gas with.
Unfortunately they're located in Georgia. I good pickup with a snow plow would be a good use of gas.

Well, I finally gave in and started watching The Walking Dead.
I'd heard my friends talk about it for several years, and always avoided watching it with them.
I thought it sounded stupid. And I was right.
But I can't get enough of it.
I started with season 1 episode 1 on Sunday night about 9 o'clock.
Just finished season 3 last night about midnight. That's 35 episodes in 3 days and 3 hours. I need help...
...finding a place to watch the episodes of season 4 that I've missed. They aren't on Netflix. Any suggestions?

Yeah, totally inane and frustrating. Until now I've always mocked people who talk to on-screen characters and try to tell them better ways to do things. This show has turned me into one of them. [roll]
If anybody else needs to watch any episodes, hit up google and search Project Free TV.
They're all there.
I know what I'm doing tonight when I get home. [thumbsup]
You can replace me as a WD watcher. I hung in there through season 3 for every show. Saw the premiere for this season and haven't watched a single dvr'd episode since. It's like watching a soap opera with a few zombies thrown in. Reminds me of when I gave up on the X-Files, 24, etc. I was a fan but have now grown weary of the show. I'll watch the recorded episodes but only when I'm bored and it's too cold and rainy outside to do anything else.
By the way, I saw a clip on my yahoo homepage a week or so ago that interviewed the producers, director and some actors of WD. Never knew that Rick had some sort of Brit-type accent in real life. Who knew? ;D

I avoided this thread until I watched it last night. Probably the best episode of the season, but that's not saying much. Anyway, did all the walkers get through the gate? Did they get a chance to reinforce the fence now? If the Governor just wanted to make the beast with two backs them up, he just needed to open up one of the holes in the fence that they've used previously, like when Rick needed to save Carol. They don't seem to patrol at all at night. The flu was the pig. Who from the Governor's crew survived?
I'm confused they take the time to go outside the prison to chainsaw down trees to reinforce the fence. Why not just go to a lowes or homedepot and get all the fencing supplies they need. they could totally tie the two fences together.
All good points.
My advice: don't bring logic into this. The producers and/or writers are really lacking some basic mechanical concepts. Or they just don't have the budget and/or time.

LOL...Yes, you must be able to leave logic out of this. My wife started watching this and right off the bat she was like "why don't they just go to a gun store?"
I also agree with the soap opera reference. I could not watch Andrea or Laurie (or the writers) without feeling like they learned their chops on a soap opera.

True but I'm sure running a chainsaw attracts a lot of walkers. No matter what its better than the movie Zombie Lake, not including the first 5 minutes.
I think at some point soon the walkers are going to get in and destroy there gardens, which is going to cause big problems.
It is time to move out of the prison. These guys have just gotten so scared they are afraid to find a new home. If society has to start over a prison is kinda bleak. Why not a nice fortified home?
Yup screw logic. At some point they will lose me as a fan just because it is hard to sit around and watch a bunch of other people sit around.
The ten minutes a show of stabbing zombies through the fence is wearing thin. Hopefully they producers step it up a notch soon.

SOA does have a direction. Getting out of guns was not at all a cut-and-dry proposition. Lots of unexpected loose ends to tie up. Try not to forget that one of Kurt Sutter's main themes is actions and their consequences - immediate and long term. With some of the plot twists this season, I do feel that the show has Fonzie on the ramp. However, some fantastic performances by Jimmy Smits, Walton Goggins, Dayton Callie and Peter Weller have kept me interested.
Back on topic: I also thought a good freeze would at least stop the walkers for the winter. Eventually decay would take all of them out of commission. For some reason there still seems to be a decent amount of somewhat fresh walkers out there.
Yeah, I've wondered about the decay issue in general. What's a zombie's shelf life? I've read the Max Brooks' Survival Guide and WWZ books... they touch on the subject but all I remember more is their life underwater and how they'll just thump along on the ocean floor until they hit land. No harm no foul. Guess the sea meat eaters would leave them alone?
Anyway, don't seem to see or hear about zombies after all the flesh has rotted off. No zombie skeletons out there walking around. [popcorn] [bacon]

Too much to quote
"...Stuff."
BTW, even if they freeze, every time someone that is actually alive passes away, they turn. So while there are survivors, you will always have a steady stream of zombies.
Now that was a freaking truck ...a Deuce and a half !!
Thats what I would drive
....why would you take an old box van/truck that has engine issues to anywhere
and a couple of other things , why doesn't anybody call them Zombies
and what about the 28 days later premise of Zombies starving to death ??
Yeah, I wasnt a fan of the entire episode being dedicated to dipshit. On top of that it was slow as hell...

I'm glad to see the old Gov. back. From the preview the next episode looks allot like the part in the comic when Woodbury attacked the prison, tank & all. If so that does not mean good things for Ricks group. I hate that it is the mid season finally but I am looking forward to the next episode.
Wife and kid thought the episode was lame but I thought it was pretty good. Next one looks to be a doosy.
I did not get to see the episode to the very end, but it was definitely an improvement over the "nice" Govnor.
The zombie in the lake thing was a nice touch, but wtf? Do zombies not even need air?

Any bets on whether or not the baby's still alive?
Since they've steered closer to the events of the comics again I'm voting no.
Just when I thought the show was getting ready to jump the shark. Wow!
I wouldn't have shot him. I would have taken out his other eye and waited for the dead to get him.
Last night's episode certainly stepped things up. [thumbsup]
I agree on all three of those points.
Now it just sucks that we have to wait until February for the next episode. [thumbsdown]
Quote from: ute on December 01, 2013, 06:59:28 PM

Agree. Hershal knew the Governor would kill him though and look like he was ok with it and hoped Rick would fight.
Speculations - in case it doesn't follow the comics:
Big red glowing question mark is Judith. Two things to consider. The two girls (one is likely our psycopath) that gunned the two that were about to kill Tyreese took off running. Could they have picked up Judith and left with Tyreese? We also don't know where Michonne went after she ran the Governor through. Given her oddly tender moment earlier on the season with Judith that is a slight possibility if they don't follow the comics.
We've split up the groups, there's the bus group, Maggie's group, Tyreese & the girls, and Rick & Carl. I'm interested to see if they reocnnect at all. It looked like most everyone went north while Rick & Carl went south.
Daryl rolling the grenade down the tank's barrel was hilarious. He also didn't hesitate on putting a bolt in him either.
JM
I felt bad for the woman who took it to the head by the young girl. She was like a deer in head lights when she saw the kid with the gun. That was a real wake-up moment for her.
Michonne was too kind to the Governor. They should have had her cut his hands and feet off.
Yea, that was quite the run through, right through the heart it looked like!
The girl made what looked like a between the eyes shot. You could see the woman stop and ki "Kids, oh with a gun how..." BLAM.
JM
I am back in after last nights show. They were on the cusp of losing me. Now it is back to survival, no more poking zombies though the fence all day. [thumbsup]
And yes a major blow to the Governor. Thing is, I would shot him while he was standing on the tank...... First rule of survival; Never allow an aggressive adversary to swing first.
Could just sat back up on the fence, taken the Gov and both tank boys with one shot each. The rest would have run for the hills....
Did anybody from the Governor's camp besides the two women survive? It didn't look like it to me

But that wouldn't have had the same dramatic effect. ;)
So how about this ....Carol comes back ( in the nick of time ) gets the baby and drives the bus away to safety
I would have killed the Gov by chopping off his legs and arms ..then he's just a Zombie stump ...always hungry
Decapitating Hershel.................priceless, amazing , just WOW

Game Of Thrones was doing a pretty good job at that. :D
Again they pick off Walker's far out one to the head but can't shoot for Crap when things go down.... The commercials they show seem to have Carl screaming wakeup to someone. . Can't wait for February. .
Oh and my daughter said. "Daddy, can you buy the shooting to squish the mud monster" my 3 year old referring to the Walker under the mud...
Why the long break till February? It's not the end of the season, is it?
Mid season finale. . Always do it. . No idea why

Michonne should've gone ahead and cut of the Governor's arms and lower jaw and hauled him off to wait for him to turn.
He would've been a good new gimp for her.

I bet Tyrese runs into Carol, because Rick and Daryl never got to tell him they she killed his woman.
I might be heard it wrong but I thought it was funny when Carl wanted to shoot the Governor and Daryl said no way that is a 50 yard shot, maybe he said 500 yards. 50 yards is pretty close to try and shoot someone with a rifle.
How are all these kids awesome shots? Carl I can see but the two girls?
Yea, the one girl nailed a between the eyes headshot. Carol did teach them to use knives, so she may have taught them firearms handling, but it would have been hard to do any more without being noticed.
I'm fairly sure Daryl said 50 yards. Depending on the rifle, it might be difficult. My SKS? It's not that accurate. Dad's .308 though, 50 yards would be cake.

The Quick and The Dead part8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQm73tMbGT4#)
I have a rule when it comes to tv shows and horror movies... Everyone is still alive until I see the dead body... And sometimes even after that.
Herschel is dead... But, the Govenor might pull through, and there is definitely a chance for Judith as well.
Hershall was ready to go. Living like that at his age would be intolerable. I could have sworn the Gov got finished off for good.
last we saw him, he had a sword thru the heart and was lying on the ground with zombies coming and the woman he had just laid pointing a gun at him.,. fade to black and BANG
She killed him for promising her safety and that her daughter would live. He dead. Wrapped in plastic.

And this will lead to a family like friendship.
Which will lead to Tyresse finding out Carol killed his woman.
Revenge might be involved but eventually the girls admit to the murder. Tyresse is now a father figure and he cares for the girls. And he owes them his life.
Bottom line; Tyresse will be a make the beast with two backsed up character.

Except the girl really killed Ty's gf and Carol covered for her. Little girl saves Ty's life and now he will have to come to terms with his anger knowing this. Nice plot twist [thumbsup]
What I want to know is why the heck did it take the Governor so many tries to cut Hershel's head off. The guy is a great shot with pistol, missing one eye, but he swings a razor sharp sword like a girl.

Where did the Guv learn to shoot that nickel plated 92F one handed so well? [popcorn] And why doesn't anyone else shoot worth a shit? Where did all the machine guns come from... and they still couldn't hit shit with all that lead flying. And finally why did the Guv just not shoot Rick given his excellent marksmenship instead of the stupid after school, behind the gym fist fight? Ugh... TV and movie writers. [bang]
Well, either way, things are a complete mess. If nothing else it was time to "jump the shark" and stir up the pot.
PS anyone notice the SBR AR platform rifle with no red dot or BUIS at all? [roll]
And why doesn't anyone else shoot worth a shit? Where did all the machine guns come from... and they still couldn't hit shit with all that lead flying.
They got trained by the A-team.
Must be the same script writers.
The Guv certainly didn't take much time greiving the little girl with the bite problem. Just took care of business and moved on.

Can't wait for the 2nd half of this season! [thumbsup] [popcorn] I like the way the 1st half ended. Leaves lots of doors open. From the frying pan into the fire. ;)
It sounds like the producers read my comments on here. I was tired of the prison. So btw was George Romero as he refused to be involved in any of the episodes and said that "The Walking Dead was not a Zombie movie but a soap opera with the occasional zombie".
Hopefully the next half of this season kicks off with a return to being a zombie flick. [thumbsup]
^ What he said. I've used the term soap opera about TWD a few times myself. The last episode got me liking it again. Probably was just a hook to get viewers like me interested again. But I'll certainly give it a shot in hopes of good stuff. [popcorn] [bacon]
if it's on tv, it's about character development, not what the characters are having to deal with.
Soon my zombie soap opera loving friends, soon. [popcorn]
What will our down trodden cast of post apocalyptic misfits do without the Gov, the prison home away from home and the virus? Curios minds want to know. ;D
Gives me something to look forward to on TV now that Jay Leno is gone and I'm not an Olympics fan. Guess I'll watch 2013 MotoGP re-runs on the dvr between Sunday nights.
Am I the only one sorta underwhelmed by last night's episode?
I liked it.
Quote from: Speedbag on February 10, 2014, 04:35:11 AM
Am I the only one sorta underwhelmed by last night's episode?
Nope. I was too. In watching the talking dead afterwards, they said the episode was almost straight from the comic and is setting up the next few to be big.
Sure hope so. :-\
I was hoping for the walker to eat more than the shoe.
Yeah, that episode left a lot to be desired in my view.
The whole father/son drama was pissing me off.
And the whole soliloquy Carl delivers before leaving the house (get in the house, Carl) was ridiculous. Smacked of community theater.
The writers/directors could've done a lot better with a simple disdainful look toward his father on the couch and muttering "I hate you" or something of the ilk as he was walking out.
The viewers could've pieced together everything from the monologue after seeing that. And without it coming off as cheesy as hell.
And the note on the door... very high cheese factor there too.
After containing the walker, why not grab a fireplace tool, ready yourself, crack the door, jam the poker through his eye, and then get your make the beast with two backsing boot back?
Quote from: duccarlos on February 10, 2014, 07:36:36 AM
I was hoping for the walker to eat more than the shoe.
No kidding. make the beast with two backs Carl, I can't stand that little douche.
And Rick too.
Douche Sr.
When Rick was wheezing on the couch sounding like a zombie, I was secretly hoping he had turned into one and was gonna chew Carl's leg off.
No such luck. :P
I also watched. Too much psycho babble for my taste. I also kept hoping Rick was dead and that Carl would get ripped up while sleeping next to someone that was clearly trying to die. I tried to watch the Talking Dead but they lost me fairly quickly. It's supposed to be a Zombie flick, Not Dr. Drew. Hopefully they get back to trying to survive sometime.
Carl loves to waste ammo.
Yeppers, Junior is not thrifty with ammo. And his punk ass teenager in angst act was a little limp. I can listen to that BS at my house all day long for free, don't need it on TWD. And the message on the bedroom door was stupid too. I was hoping that Carl would get salmonella from the gallon+ bucket of ancient pudding he ate and throw up his toe nails all the way home with walkers nipping at his heels. No such luck.
Maybe now that Katana Girl has found them attitudes will change on all fronts. And speaking of sharp objects, why the hell doesn't someone figure out how to get a 4-5' pole or pipe and hose clamp a long kitchen knife to one end... voila, a spear. Not to throw but to jab and thrust at walkers. The shaft length will keep you arm+ distance away (plus they don't seem to swat away stuff in their face) and a good basic Old Chicago Cutlery or a nice Henckels from one of those abandoned house kitchens would do the job. So simple a cave man could do it! [laugh] [laugh]
Here I go again over thinking a TV show [bang] [roll] but where in the final show of this season's first half did the prison homeboys come up with all the AR full autos? Even saw a MP5 in the big shoot out. WTF? And in one of the re-runs when they went to the CDC in Atlanta there were dozens of dead Army troops laying around outside with guns and ammo everywhere. After the building blew up they could have filled all their vehicles with guns and ordinance. Meh... there I go thinking again. :P
Hopefully the show will catch another gear and get back on course to survival and finding the other cast members.
Thought we might see the guvnor as a walker.
Hershel's head was kinda sad to see.

When Carl said "do you remember him?", Rick should've responded with "sure do. I remember him trying to kill me, too. Do you remember that, you little asshole? Do you remember me shooting him in the face when he tried to kill me?"
The show better pick up steam or I'm dropping it from my list. This episode sucked

I'm with Ramsese, this whole episode could have been cut down to 12 minutes and we wouldn't have missed a thing.
Glad to see i was the only one who A: wasn't impressed B: tired of Carl acting like a little punk and C: was hoping that walker would have got him...
How good would it have been if Carl shot his Dad then went outside like "I'm a bad ass" and got eaten. That would have been a big holy crap welcome back.

Better would have been: he shoots what he thinks is his zombie dad, runs out like a bad ass but a little screwed up because he had to kill his dead dad and then zombie dad walks out.
I think at that point Carl would go past the point of no return. The governor x 10.
I like it. Punk ass Carl the new Guv!! [popcorn]
i'm still trying to figure out where all the damn ammo is coming from.. wish i had magical ammo making pockets..
Even the baby is annoying. This whole family is cursed with the annoying gene.
Give it some time. Lizzie might take care of the baby.
Well, she tried once so far!
JM
That girl's all business.
Again, another episode that could have been cut down to 15 minutes and no one would have missed a thing.
Get to the meat already.
Tyrese, the girls and Carol is a good combination. I can't wait to see Tyrese's face when he finds out the girls killed his woman and Carol burned the body.
I thought carol killed them?

Did the actor, in trying to disguise her British accent, forget which American accent she'd been doing?

I caught that too. Oops.
Lizzie was about to kill the baby, homicidal little child. At least some new characters are coming into it soon. They will all still probably talk to much.
Oh so may holes in the workings of living through zombieland.
yea, how are they still alive is beyond me..
for anyone who's read the books/comics, is it much better?
The comics are awesome.
Finally a decent episode, and I would have asphyxiated the unconscious goon on the floor ;D
I only caught the second half of the episode. I'll watch the first half tonight. What I did see was promising.
Rick got an Uzi, ho-ho-ho!
Yeah but he never checked the ammo level...
I'm sure he'll find a ton of 9mm somewhere :P
That episode was better.
Quote from: Monsterlover on February 24, 2014, 06:23:19 PM

No need to check, ammo is endless on this show.
Anyone beside me think that the doctor isn't really a doctor or scientist? I think he is from a mental hospital and has convinced Sgt. Goatee that he is a doctor. Nice job shooting your truck.
Scientists are usually not that great with firearms. I can't confirm nor deny your analysis of the doctor.
Just let me go on the record as saying that if the future of our species ever depends on someone who shoots that poorly AND HAS A make the beast with two backsING MULLET, we're doomed.
He's gotta choose one or the other. Can't have both.
Mullets and shooting cars/trucks really go together. Its what those folk were born to do.
Don't hate him for being true to him self ;D

Of course he shot the truck on purpose. He is a whackado and not a scientist and the longer he stays away from being found out the longer they will protect him. Of all the plot twists this one is fairly transparent.

But like unlimited ammo, it just goes on and on. I wonder if one of the writers knows the....intricacies, let's say....of old Brit bikes and made sure the bike in the show was an old Triumph for fun..... [laugh]
I assume by the lack of new posts that everyone was as bored as me with last night's episode. I almost fell asleep. :P
haven't seen it yet, but i'm already disappointed.
It's on the DVR. However it has gotten long in the tooth. In all fairness, I have never seen another zombie flick make it past two hours...
One has to wonder what could be done to make it better.
It's always been more interesting while they are on the move. As soon as they settle down for more than a few hours, it becomes boring.

I like even the slow episodes. I look at them as part of a larger story and not individual shows.
Its basically a soap opera.
I'm not sure what to tell you guys that like to pregnant dog other than sorry about the sand?

I actually enjoyed that episode. They had enough zombies running around to keep them on their toes. Of course, I prefer next week's Maggie filled episode.

Oh no, not this episode.
Many people are saying they went to far.
It wasn't quite a Red Wedding sort of thing, but they did push a few boundaries. Still, best episode this year by FAR!

The whole Terminus thing... seems like a great way to funnel people into a death trap and bring you their supplies so you don't have to go out scavenging for stuff.
Even just the name of the place, does "Terminus" really sound like a safe haven?
Does anyone actually make it to Terminus in last night's episode, or is everyone still just making their way toward it?

Even just the name of the place, does "Terminus" really sound like a safe haven?
Nope.
Things are gonna get interesting when the merry band of assholes that Daryl is with arrive there....
I just ended up catching up on the episode I fell asleep on. I was certain she was gonna kill the baby, but her sister? Never saw that coming.....
Yup Terminus is all bad.
Between those guys looking to off Rick to the unknown people in Terminus, I think we'll be seeing another huge standoff, sans tank.

Probably not a good sign that the GoT writer came on this season
I haven't seen any of the newer episodes, is Darryl still riding the Trumpet?
If so, does anybody have any credible (or absurd) theories as to why?
Its gone
Probably burned to the ground due to an electrical fire.
[laugh]
Finally caught up. This is bullshit! How are they going to let us see Terminus just to end the season? I'm really surprised they went as far as they did last episode.
Oh, and I'm putting money down that the woman was cooking soylent green...
I went back and watched from beginning. up to s2 en 9. episode 7 is best of all of them all. I need to get all these on dvd so if that 1 in a billionth chance some shut like this goes down, I'd use them as instructional videos on what not to do..
There's an app for that :)

lol I came back to type this very thing..
Hah! When I first saw the signs leading to Terminus I told my girl that they were gonna get eaten when they got to Terminus.
Besides when food is scarce where are they getting racks of ribs? Still a weak as hell ending to the season.
So here is what will happen: They will kill everyone at Terminus, take over the complex and live there. All while stabbing walkers in the head with sticks again....
Why is it that there are no walkers hanging out on the fences? Someone within will probably have guilt about eating people. He/she will set them free.
If the whole episode would have been like the last 15 minutes, then it would have been a passable finale.

As far as what happened to Beth, a co-worker of mine pointed out something I missed the first time I watched it, and have since confirmed.
When the group is being herded through Terminus by gunfire at their feet, they pass a section with human skeletons on the ground. Immediately after that, they pass some steel cargo containers and they hear a female voice screaming for help. Daryl hears the voice and comments on it, but is then hurried along by Rick to continue their path until they are eventually captured.
My guess is that the voice calling for help was Beth's.
As far as how they get out of there, my money is on Carol kicking some serious ass... To the point that she redeems herself, and Rick allows her to rejoin the group.
Caught all of that [thumbsup] Please don't get me started on ricochet angles.... The shooting/herding scene was a bit silly otherwise.
You mean bullets don't just stop when they hit the ground? :P
So is Glenn going to catch a bat to the head tonight or what?
What a way to start the season! Carol is Bad Ass
Phenomenal opening episode. [clap]
That said, I hope they didn't blow the whole wad for the season right there. I was surprised, given how long the slog was to get to Terminus, that they were done with it in one episode.
Rick should have gone back and finish them off. [popcorn]

Another great episode , sawing off the girls arm , creepy Dr , crazy cop girl
I'm really looking forward to seeing Carol wake up and kick some ass. Is it just me or does Darryl constantly lose his women?
Ok, so I like the genre of post-apocalypse, which means I tend to like zombie-themed media. Due to this, friends have recommended I watch TWD. So I did---about 3 episodes in season 2(maybe it was 3?) I think. It was kinda awful---wayyyy too much talking and crying and sad music. I gave up, thinking it wasn't for me.
But this show keeps going and gaining record numbers of viewers (like, NFL-size audiences, which is crazy for a basic cable show!). I'm now wondering if maybe the random stretch of shows I watched was just a bad stretch, and I missed the good stuff which would have hooked me.
Thoughts from the DMF TWD fan base? Is it one of those "you just have to get through the first # episodes" or "it doesn't get good until season #" type of shows?
Having watched all the shows I have to say I agree with you with regards to the emotional stuff. More killing and less boo hoo works great for me. They do treat the show more like an art piece than what I personally think it should be. All you have to do is watch the Talking Dead after show once to see that.
Past that the show still remains fun, albeit somewhat transparent. (spoiler alert) for example who watches the show that did not know from day one that the "scientist", wasn't one?
I am finding it a bit aimless with climaxes that can take a season to build but 10 minutes to close out. Worth watching as I think the networks took everything else worth watching in any competing time slots and moved them elsewhere.
I will keep watching but I no longer remember which night it is on (don't watching anything not on DVR).
I just wish someone would go ahead and eat Eugene.
The first season hooked me. By season 2 you start hating some of the characters, mostly the ones causing the drama. The past 2 seasons have had them moving about quite a bit, so keeping alive has taken precedent over crying and constantly losing your punk ass son.
Huh. So Eugene really was full of shit after all....
Quote from: Speedbag on November 11, 2014, 05:53:17 AM

I realized that from the moment he shot up the first truck "on accident". No twist or surprise there as far as I am concerned. I was actually somewhat disappointed to find out the plot twist with Eugene was as simplistic as I thought.
I saw that coming as soon as he uttered the words "that's classified" the first time.

Yeah, since he sabotaged the church bus, one can assume that maybe shooting up the truck was intentional as well.
I was so happy he got clocked. My first reaction was to shoot him and move on.
Not a surprise about Mullet Man. A bit surprising in how they revealed it IMO. Just blurting out like that?

They definitely got their money's worth out of the mullet jokes in that episode.
And Eugene definitely had a couple lines that made me laugh harder than I thought I ever would at this show.
And before this episode, I didn't know which one I had a harder time taking seriously... Dr Dipshit or Sgt Ginger.
Didn't see that one coming.
Nope.

Passing on to DMF's TWD fans:
AMC ordered two seasons of the TWD spin-off prequel. Usually networks like to test the product and get ratings before they green light more seasons. So this means one of two things: 1) the show is really good, based on what's been shot/written so far, or 2) they are desperate to milk the cash cow that is the TWD franchise until exhaustion. Hopefully the former.

But, it seems as if a line from Friday woulda been appropriate for that last scene:
ok, so they've set it up for Rick to be kicked out of the town.
Now what?
Coup d'etat

He said it when they first got there. If they don't like the way it's being run, "We'll take it"...
Looks like MeShonne is going to create a problem for that though...
Sigh. I can't believe the season is over.....
The semi-trailer zombie booby trap was pretty awesome.
Balls to the wall baby !!!!!
Morgan ...Jedi master
Want more ..need more
Best season since the first
Good episode! The first 3/4 of the season was a little disappointing but they made up for it!
And the waiting begins. ......
Ugh, how it go from daylight to complete darkness in 5 minutes. . . Lol, sorry, just my inner logically thinking.
Same way they never have to use the bathroom.
Or get haircuts, or shave...
And zombies like doing yard work
They drag their feet so much. That's what keeps it down
Hey. Who's got the drop box downloads for walking dead? My internet isnt good enough at the house (only cell service) to watch it. Buffers too much. So DL'ing it would make it easier...
you can dl from some of these
http://www.watchepisodes.tv/the-walking-dead (http://www.watchepisodes.tv/the-walking-dead)
and WTF with last night... who was the horn?
They have a traitor in their mists. I think it might be Jessie or even Deanna, both losing husbands, or Ron (the emo kid).
It's either the wolf pack or the kid of the father Rick killed. Who ever it is I'm sure they also opened the gate or damaged the gate.
Time for the group to move on but with a few more new characters.
This will end up being like the jail. Find a decent place to hole up, get booted by a herd, rinse, repeat.
Yep, the premiere was pretty good but the formula is becoming tired...time to move on. Anyone seen season 1 and premiere season 2 of Fargo?

Agreed on the formula, I actually fell asleep halfway through the WD premiere.....
Fargo Season 1 was great, Season 2 is off to a great start. [thumbsup]
Don't get me wrong, that was probably one of the best season premieres of TWD I've seen.

i think it was good too -- the story could have moved a little faster, and the whole idea of cowboy-herding a herd was kind of stupid, but the flashbacks made it an interesting device. and the shock ending was pretty cool, but now we have to know who it was.
if it was that kid, i hope Rick beats the shit out of him
I don't think there was a need to herd the walkers.
I would have handled it differently. If you have all the walkers trapped in one area, you dispose of them in that same area. Explosives, mining equipment, fire, a team of people taking shifts cutting heads off, etc. You don't let them loose.
You would have needed some sort of bomb to get rid of that many walkers.

seems they could have just used the diesel in the trucks and set them all on fire. that would have been a cool episode. a flaming horde.
It's about time they brought that group into the mix! Although I was expecting to see a little more about the herd in this episode...

Wow, so now Glenn is dead, wonder who's next?
This season has been a little less lame so far..... [thumbsup]
Is Glenn really dead? He fell with the idiot. Maybe the walkers were eating the other guy.

Looked like they were eating Glenn's guts as he was screaming.
Definitely starting out interesting this season.
Ballsy kill a season 1 character off in the middle of an episode for no reason and on episode 3 as well .
So he better be dead not some "shower scene " move
For me, last night's episode was a yawn-fest. Morgan's back story was interesting to a degree, but damn. I struggled to stay awake.
About the best part was the end where it was revealed that Morgan had one of the wackjob Wolves hidden away....
I believe I did fall asleep at one point, at least for a few minutes.

I doubt he's dead. The way douchebag fell leads me to believe he fell on top of Glenn and thats who the walkers were eating.

Agreed. It was a good back story, but IMO they went too deep. They really didn't need to spend almost the entire episode on it...
Once again a ten minute skit was dragged out to over an hour. The writers need to be careful. We are hungry for brain candy but you can only drag something out for so long.
I should have watched last man on earth.
Agreed, an hour and a half of Morgan getting all Zen was a little much when they could have pulled it off in the usual hour.
If they keep this up I'll find something else to watch on Sunday nights and start recording this for off-night fodder. :P
I have to admit, the mid-season opener kept my attention. Plenty of carnage and mayhem.
Funny thing though, I was actually rooting for the zombie horde to finally get Glenn, but nooooo..... [laugh]

Seriously, who gets shot straight in the eye like that and lives? Die Carl, DIE!
Yeah, that too. [laugh]
Great episode !!!
Gotta say Just Kill Glen ....please
And with the little muchkin getting shot ..Nicatero said it was a graze that shattered some bone into the eye ......plausible ?
I have no idea
I think they'e going to follow the comic's end to Glen.
Ok ..have to say have not read the comics so don't know what is in the future .
Its always tough the "book" is always better than the movie
Carl's eye shot is also in the comic
Ending was a bit interesting.
I was wondering how long it was gonna take Rick and MeShonne to hook up!
I don't like it
Just doesn't seem right
I think they work together.. might as well repopulate the world with badasses.... in the purpose of just to repopulate though, Darell should make some of those babies as well..

Great episode!
This second half of the season is turning out to be one of the better stretches of shows. Excellent writing and acting.
Carol rules. [evil]
But the real question is, how bad off is Daryl right now???
It looks like next week we'll get to meet Lucille.
Well, someone met Lucille....
But who? Hmmmm....
Glen?
That was the worst season-ender. 60 minutes of commercials and 30 minutes of boring.

And this is the reason I download it as opposed to watching it on TV (well, that and the whole not having cable thing).
Overall, they're idiots. I know this is supposed to follow a storyline, but what should have happened after the first roadblock in they back track enough to appear to be going another way, go out on foot and flank the limited number of saviors from either side and pick them off from the woods. Then they can continue on the path they initially wanted to use.
I spent the whole day avoiding this thread until I got a chance to watch. Limited commercials helped, but it was still slow until the last 5 minutes.
Not sure if they will follow the same path as the comics, but I don't see why they would not.
Shit episode
Hope Glen gets it
Carol is going to have to come back and save everyone again.
Yep, the broken one will save their sorry asses.
Now THAT'S how you kick off a new season.
[evil] [evil] [evil]
Squishy.
Get my ax.
I had considered the possibility that more than one would be killed. I thought Glenn would be the first to go though.
When Rick was having the flash backs of all his friends, I thought for a second that he had or was going to kill all of them!

CORAL!!!! [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
Nice eye Glen !!!
We were right into it but stopped watching a year or so ago as it has gone downhill so badly. It just appears so stretched out to keep it alive rather than rapping it up in a quality manner. Really disappointing.

Isn't the graphic novel still being written?
That might explain the meandering story line.
Alternate kill...

Gruesome but balanced by the over the top bad guy character. How long til the good guys get their revenge?
Funny that the RV wouldn't start until he beat the shit out of Rick. Then it started right up!
They always had problems starting it. Maybe that's what needed to happen.
Couldn't hurt, better to be safe than sorry. ;D

Having a hard time with the Negan character.

because he brings them in by locking them in a dark cell naked for 6 months while feeding them dog food and playing horrible music.
how do you train an elephant to stay with just a tiny rope? You condition them when they are young.

Even more reason to put a slug in his forehead.
Yes he's a bad-ass character but there has to be more that's keeping his people loyal. I think the writers might be missing the mark on this or they haven't gotten to the explanation yet. But then again, the dead come back to life so anything is possible.

Conditioning. Give me the resources and legal immunity and I could condition you to have mortal fear of toilet paper and to be sexually aroused by pumpkins.
Well....certain pumpkins can be sorta inexplicably hot. [evil] [laugh]
Honestly, the Negan character adn storyline is bullshit at this point.
First off, the actor needs to stop the whole "sway back" routine in his acting. It's as bad as Jonathan Frakes opening doors with his forehead in STTNG.
Secondly, how are the "Saviors" controlled by Negan? I mean, "hey, let's go rape and pillage" Whoop! No raping! Only take the mattresses and then we'll BURN them.
WTF
And wtf with the gun inventory? REALLY YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN MAKE UP A LIST OF EVERY FIREARM AND PUT IT DOWN ON PAPER? I mean, it's not like it's a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE or anything. How make the beast with two backsING STUPID can you get as a plot element? They are in VIRGINIA -- who the hell would agree to that??

I'm betting that something the director wants him to do to show arrogance. But yeah, it's a bit much...
Agreed, I thought he was gonna fall over backward a couple of times.

Looks nearly unanimous in dislike of the negan character/actor. The character is one dimensional and it is completely impossible that someone would have put a few bullets in him minutes after his bullshit/predictable/formulaic/boring/you-make the beast with two backsin'-said-it-before soliloquies.

Anyone still watching this silly show? It jumped the shark for me with the over the top ridiculous characters, Negan and the King dude with the CGI tiger. Gimme a break!
I still watch it. It's based on a comic, so some characters will be over the top (tiger), but Negan is the actor's choice. I think if he toned it down by half, the character would be great.
To me the show has lost its way ..its boring Fear is better now
This season has been a steaming turd so far.
I have to believe that ratings are down, because I'm bored too and have yet to be impressed....
Yes the Negan character has improved, Rick with the junk yard people (WTF is that?), I'm still watching it and I don't know why.
I know I've said it before, they really need some common sense in their writing. I don't know the term for the position but it has to be some sort of engineer. Writers engineer, set engineer, common sense engineer, etc.....
How is it that light gauge corrugated metal panels will stop multiple rifle rounds and a 50 caliber just bounces off the sheet metal used on a jeep? I mean jeeps are tough but please.

..fired a gun?
..ridden a motorcycle?
..ever studied basic physics?
..ever been outside their urban bubble?
etc etc etc
I actually dozed off during the mid-season finale last night.
This show has lost its mojo, big time. :P
They were jumping all over the place. It was very confusing.
Its the Toronto Maple Leafs of shows ...you watch ..you know its bad ..you have no idea why you are wasting your life watching it .................. but it has you
Anybody still watching this tripe?
Bueller? [laugh]
This season might be it for me..... :P
I haven't watched last night's episode, but that week's wasn't completely horrible. The week prior was just an extremely long death scene.
No need to watch it nothing happened
This has evolved into the worst show on TV ......... its a VERY SLOW train wreck
