Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
I think they are replacing the fenced encampment with the CDC building, which makes sense since the CDC building would be far more defensible against these more active zombies than cyclone fence.
I also like the addition of the scientist who has gone half-mad from loneliness. My favorite quote from the show: "I think I'll blow my brains out tomorrow, but I haven't decided yet. But tonight, I'm getting drunk." |

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
The scene with the sisters was SO incredibly strong. Every part of it. One of the best scenes I've seen.
Really nice episode. Only 1 left for this season, right? |
Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
Someone PM me if they ever reveal what caused the outbreak.
Gracias. |
Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
To be honest, I didn't really like this episode. I mean, it was still a good episode - just in comparison to the others I didn't like it as much. However everything that happened after the scientist was introduced was the best I've seen from the show so far.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
So is the series ended in the comic?

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
What caused the "outbreak", if there is one, is irrelevant. As Hitchcock would say, it is the "McGuffin". Taking time and effort to explain the cause of the zombie apocalypse would 1) take away from the story and 2) cause inevitable disappointment because what the authors believe caused the event would fail compared to the expectations of the audience.
My big question is: When will they reveal that you don't have to be bitten or be "infected" to turn into a zombie? All you have to do is die of any cause and you end up a walking man-eating corpse. For me, that reveal in the comic was the most chilling of all; the realization that everyone will end up a zombie in the end... they are all The Walking Dead. |
Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
I'm a bit annoyed by how the characters don't care about getting covered with zombie gore. Hacking in on your dead husband is nice and all, but aren't you afraid of getting infected?

Also agree with Prof, the explanation as to why isn't important at all nor do I think the survivors care, doubt they are looking for a cure. |
Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
I'm with Angrist. They're a bit too reckless. It may not be airborne but with blood and guts flying everywhere there's a good chance you might get some in your mouth or eyes.

So do you think this series could be recut to a 2h movie? I can see that working pretty well, there's a lot of boring stuff. |

Veggies divide! The comic is extremely episodic with no end in site. It's premise is a response to zombie movies where the characters either die or escape (and go where? TWD shows what happens after a typical zombie movie ends. They just keep living trying to survive.) And if you think it's boring, just wait until the aliens show up. ;) |
Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
What about mutant plants? Are they coming any time soon?

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
It's definitely gotten better since those first two episodes. Looking forward to the finale + 2nd season.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
Since episode 1 I was wondering what he was going to do with that thing.........
:lolz: |
Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
Interesting finale, it really does change some things from the comics, but could just as easily get back on track.
Some good character moments as always. |
Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
They're still establishing the universe. Basically the trip to the CDC installation was to establish that there are no white knights coming to save the day. Its a shame that's all that it was because I liked the Jenner character. He was far more fleshed out than 90% of the characters still in the group.

Who and what thing he had since episode 1? Decent episode. Strong ending, but the stuff before that was a bit boring. I'll definately watch season 2. |

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
So how did the woman end up with it? I'm confused. I do remember him getting it somewhere, but I was surprised to see the woman have it. I just figured she picked it up somewhere.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
She even said "I found this".
Anyways, I thought it was a great episode. I really liked the doctor character. I wished he would have stuck around - although I do enjoy how bleak the finale was from his point of view. I'm also glad they killed off that useless black lady. She was a terrible character who seemed to only be there to fill the "Black lady" role. |

But would a grenade shatter bulletproof glass? I thought constant pressure from axes/bullets would work better. Also, the guy trying with a chair was ridiculous, after the axes didn't work. :-o |
Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
After talking it over with friends last night, we thought it was pretty obvious what Jenner said to Rick.
(just in case you don't want to read a hunch) Considering Jenner did blood tests, the secret was probably that Lori was pregnant with Shane's kid. Especially considering at the end of the episode the way Rick just looks at her. |

None of us have read the comics. |

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
I still think the kid is the weakest link. What a poor casting choice...
I view this first season as a "pilot season" and think the writing will get much better once they know they have room and time to establish a story and a plot. This season was very rushed, and it seems like they could have spent more time drawing out the story, but instead they kept it moving to presumably keep the viewer's interest. For example, the CDC thing could have been 2 or 3 episodes. If this show was pure drama they could have really built up the character development too...but this is a zombie show, on AMC, so you obviously have to keep the show movin' and the zombies a-chewin'. This series has a ton of potential, especially since they deviating from the comic by A LOT. I mean just look at what they have done to Shane. |
Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
All of the kids in this show weird me out. They do things, and other other characters interact with them, in a way that makes them seem much younger than the actor/actress looks. It's pretty weird.
|
Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
I hate the kid. Hate hate hate hate hate.
He is a terrible actor. |
Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
He had some bad moments, had some good. I didn't mind him, but he didn't add anything either.

My brother saw it and he hated it. He made me realise how frustratingly silly it is most of the time.
If it had been 12 episodes instead of only 6, he wouldn't have finished watching them. |
Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
So now that breaking bad is over, this show is picking up again. Given that they have diverted from the source material I have no idea what to expect. How many episodes is this season gonna be?
