Title: The Walking Dead
Post by: mistercharlie on October 21, 2010, 09:41:06 PM
Anyone else psyched for this new series? All the ad's during the Friday the 13th movies have me pumped. I read the comics for a while and can say that it's a great story and the show looks to be doing it justice.

Totally.

And yeah, the ads have definitely done it for me. I was moderately intrigued before but now I can't imagine missing it.

totally, positively, completely psyched. everytime the ads come on during Mad Men I just lose at on my girlfriend. I like to point out that it is described as "epic", and also it has zombies. and its AMC, achieving the greatness HBO kind of used to.

I've read all the books except the most recent (vol. 12?), courtesy of my neighbor. They are awesome and freaky. Sort of like if they made The Road into a cartoon.

For anyone who has AMC On Demand, they have the first issue of the comics up to watch in 'Motion Comic' form.


And for anyone who's never experienced a Motion Comic, check it out. It's a pretty damn cool idea.

About a dozen full-blown zombies made-up and moving as zombies do...

That's a fairly common move.

In Star Trek IV, you didn't see people walking up to Spock in San Francisco and shouting "Live Long And Prosper!"

well, i see what you're getting at, but that analogy doesn't hold.

it's not that there was a movie once where they made up a term, 'zombies,' and the creatures themselves, and then this show came along and in some way continued that story or took place in that world.

irrespective of any movies, books, etc., zombies are real. in a sense, anyway. they're in haiti. the western world has known about them for what, 100 years or more?

so this is all a very minor thing (but then, what good intertube discussion isn't?), but yes, when i watch this zombie show, i'm briefly taken out of the reality of the show when characters, seeing the dead walk, say 'we call 'em--walkers.' no you don't. you call them zombies. that's the word!

Well, they could just be creating a subset of zombies in their own world, 'walkers' as opposed to 'runners' like you'd find in 28 Days Later.

Speaking of 'biters'...

Has anyone heard of 'Ankle Biters'? It's a movie about Vampires with Achondroplasia. I always pick it up and think about getting it at the video store, but have never done it.

I think the term 'walker' as used in the show might come from some official designation (CDC maybe?). It seems to me that before society totally collapsed there was some effort to isolate the walkers from the healthy population (hence there being tanks and barriers all over ATL) so that might be where the common use of the term came from.

I'd also like to add that I'm glad that skinhead was left handcuffed to the roof. Rick should have shot him, imo.

I agree the dude should have shot the skinhead. But then i thought, the guy who played the skinhead was the only recognizable actor i've seen on the show. So why kill him off in one episode. And why did they make a point of showing the black dude dropping the tool bag just in arms reach of the dude?

My thought is we will see that racist fucker again, i dont know how but just a hunch
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: phil on November 10, 2010, 11:11:03 AM
this may be a spoiler if you didn't watch the 'scenes from next week' portion, but apparently the skinhead's brother makes an appearance in the next episode (understandably pissed that his brother has been left to die)

I didn't recognize the actor though, so I wouldn't have minded if he had been blasted. I always enjoy seeing terrible people get what they've got coming to them.

Did anyone else find it slightly annoying that the guy gets shot, wakes up, realizes that he's not just waking up from a nap but waking up from a coma, finds his hospital in ruins, realizes that the power and phones are dead, finds hundreds of dead bodies on his way out, and encounters zombies - yet when he makes contact with other humans, he never asks how long this has been going on?  I'm not saying it's a huge deal or anything, but it bugs me a little.  You'd think that after wrapping your head around the current situation, you'd then want to find out how long you were in a coma for, right?  Just curious if this bugged anyone else. 

Anyhow, very cool show.  I'll definitely be on board for the rest of the season.

Post by: Igbo on November 10, 2010, 08:16:44 PM
Ytowndan, I actually thought the same thing. I haven't read any of the Walking Dead graphic novels to know the story, but it makes me question how long and how much money AMC has invested in this initial season. More info in the story could lead to further seasons. And if no one is watching, its a waste of money for the network. But the premier got super huge ratings so hopefully it lasts.

They're way off the map laid out by the comics. Not that I expected them to stay strictly to the books. Certainly they need to expand things a bit to work within the new medium but I had a bad feeling when I saw all of those extra characters running around.

Perhaps with the way things ended this week will lead them back on track.

I never read the comics or even knew about them until about the second episode, so I may be opening myself up for serious smite, but I think the way this show is going is f'n awesome. I wouldn't change a thing.

I agree with you Phil. Since i never read the comic i have nothing to base the show on. Its definately a really good show.

Finally saw the most recent episode last night. I thought it was ok, until the final scene when the camp was attacked and thought that was the highlight of the show.

QuoteOut of the six episodes that will make up the first season of The Walking Dead, Darabont ended up writing two himself, while also co-writing/rewriting the remaining four. In comparison, the writing staff was only responsible for two episodes this season – but still with Darabont in the lead chair.

Sounds like there won't be much (if any) of a difference.  Sucks that the writing staff lost their jobs, though.

Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: ytowndan on December 07, 2010, 03:06:04 AM
My money is on his wife being pregnant, for three reasons. 

First, the whole blood test thing was put in there for a reason, and IMO, I don't believe it was just to illustrate how "thorough" this guy was with the rules.  I mean, this was the same guy who was contemplating suicide that very same day.  Plus, they not only made a point to mention that those were his conditions, but they invested an additional scene in the season finale to actually show the blood tests being administered.  They want you to remember that blood test.  And it wasn't to show how "so and so" was infected, so there's gotta be another reason or they wouldn't have wasted our time. 

Second, I think the whole point of him whispering to Rick was that it was private.  There were people within hearing distance, which is why he whispered, so why hide something helpful to their survival as a group?  I can't think of a reason. 

Third, there will be more than twice the amount of episodes in this next season.  Which means more time for character development.  Which means some of that will come out of character drama.  And what better TV drama is there than baby-mama-drama?   :roll:

I watched the show from beginning to end. My enthusiam went on the wane with each passing episode, and the finale was not as strong as the initial episode I thought.

To answer RJ's question, I wasn't even aware this was based on graphic novels. Knowing this explains why there is such a good following for this show, and I am pleased for the readers of those novels. 

The initial episode was visually stunning, as well as the episode which began with the tank. I think the writing was the strongest in these two episodes as well, and then it began to decline and became difficult to suspend disbelief. Returning to Atlanta, twice? Shane fucking his partner's wife not long after they left the area where the hospital and main character were located? And what we saw was evidently not the first time since they took hold in the woods. I would have bought it had they been sleeping together prior to the virus taking hold (remember Shane quizzing Rick in the squad car about how things were at home?), but the wife's statements that she was in it because her husband was dead is ridiculous. 

I don't doubt the pregnancy angle may be used, but why would that test be run to screen for virus? Also, I might add the main character and his wife fornicated in the tent upon reunion, not long after the initial face down ass up scene, but definitely before making the last "You're Killing Us!" trip to the CDC. This obfuscates any results the writers may use.

How did the virus come to be? Was it manufactured? We have more info given the video clip from the Doc (which includes his wife being shot in the head? honestly...), but we are no where near closer to answering this question than when the show started. 

I'll watch the next episode in October, but I won't be counting the days.

That finale tripped me out.

What would you guys have done? Stayed, or left?

In reality, I can't really imagine only 1 person staying. Dunno, I feel like at that point I probably would have felt like it was "my time". Who knows, though.

I thought the whispering part was a total cop-out cliff-hanger too. I don't like stuff like that - too up front and obvious (but as someone mentioned above, this show is anything but subtle)

And yeah, I hate Shane. But he can't go - too important to the storyline.

Oct can't come soon enough. Like RJ, I will prob watch this season a few times between now and then.

And yeah, I hate Shane. But he can't go - too important to the storyline..

Nope. Shane is a donkey-raping shiteater. He's gotta go. It's a plot hole that wouldn't even really be hard to fill.

the season closer was a little weird.
way to quick to find this, place, chill, fight and explode....all in one episode?

hopefully they devote a little more time to the story line next season.

oh, and for a zombie show, tense/scary zombie moments have been few and far between....

I kind of like the lack of "zombie-action". It's less like a movie that way. Also I think this helps to build tension - the whole idea of there being zombies lurking around is utilized as more of a mind game in this show, rather than an outlet for action sequences. I like this because it kind of wears you down mentally and keeps you on edge instead of keeping you occupied with random movie-like thriller scenes.

you guys are freaking me out. i had an insanely long zombie apocalypse dream last night. it went all over the place. we were trapped in a house for awhile, we had to make for a ship and get to an island, and there was even a part of it where i wasn't so much in it as i was watching it, and my dream-self thought 'hey, THIS episode of the walking dead is actually fucking awesome!'

I had the same thought at one point (about it being an episode of walking dead) in my dream. I woke up at the point when I felt hands on me and zombies about to bite into me. Literally came up swinging (and then I realized I was punching air and being a retard)

Why did we all have zombie dreams last night...?

I was actually telling phil that I wasn't too freaked out by my dream - it was actually kinda fun. The "zombies" in my dream weren't even as intense as they are in the walking dead. I was safe from them as long as i was behind a locked door. I was in this huuuuuge house and it was almost more of a puzzle than anything else - lots of going from one locked room to the next, but zombies were getting trapped in some rooms and it was hard to keep track of them all! But the f*ckers were slow as hell, so blasting them with a magnum really wasn't that hard at all.

My dream was bizzare and scary but I would definitely dream it again. At the end of the dream, I was cornered on the roof deck of McGrupp's mtn house blasting zombies with the shotgun that Shane uses in the show and singing "I shall be released." When I ran out of ammo and got overrun was when I woke up.

Shit's going down. Zombies are coming.

I definately really enjoyed it. Different from what has happened so far on the show, and imo in a better way too!! Super easy and fun read. I just ordered the next 2 books. i'm more stoked to see what happens in the books over the show.

Heard an interview with Robert Kirkman the writer of Walking dead this morning on Sirius.

He said the next season will be 13 episodes and will be definately drawing more closer to the books. He said they will be introducing characters like Michonne and hopefully The Govenor this season.

QuoteWhile most fathers bond with their sons through a game of catch or a weekend of fishing, Stephen King spends time with his son by coming up with new ways to scare the bejesus out of us.

While we reported earlier this week that Stephen King was in talks to write an episode of AMC's hit The Walking Dead, it is now confirmed that the plan is for King to team up with his son, Joe Hill, on the episode. While nothing is definite yet, the episode would air during the next two seasons of the show.

King has written numerous best-selling books such as The Shining, the Dark Tower series and countless others, but his son has been gaining just as much notoriety recently with his novels Heart Shaped Box, Horns and his comic series Locke & Key.

Awesome!! I've read a little of Joe Hill's Locke & Key and thought he was a good writer. I bet this episode will be pretty good.


Also, I like the mention of 'The next two seasons of the show'. That makes me happy.

yeah, i'm sorta suprised AMC hasn't advertised any sort of rehash marathon of season 1 for this week.
i'm sorta thinking that it might actually be because of the behind the scenes negativity that was apparent.
which could mean this season is going to RAWK!

I meant to ask the same question, but forgot to ask it in my post above.

I have the first several comics, or graphic novels, whatever on a flash drive, but have yet to start them. I'm in the middle of too many projects, shows, video games, and whatever else to start something new right meow, but I look forward to start reading these in the near future.

My mom had never watched it (which is crazy if you knew how much this woman loves horror stories/movies), but I told her about the season 1 replay a day or two before season 2 premiere (she absolutely *LUVS* horror flicks/books), and I figured she would dig this, so she DVR'd it, but she watched the 2 or 3 episodes and said she "didn't think she was going to be able to get in to it or like it". I told her for being such a huge horror fan, she is crazy for not "getting" this.  :-o

I convinced her to watch another 2 or 3 episodes, then tell me she still didn't dig it.

Yeah, that's why I haven't started the books yet, because I know that if I start them, I won't be able to stop and I will quickly get ahead of the TV series.

Was it me or were there just a ton of commercials?  Like every 6 minutes.  We Tivo'd it and it seemed like it was less than an hour long when skipping the commercials.

I did not see that ending coming (was this something that happens in the graphic novel?). 

Anyhow, that was an all around killer opener.  Can't wait for next week!

Yeah it happens in the book.

There's been a ton of things happening that aren't in the books.

Kirkman is an Executive Producer and writer for the series and plans to handle it as a separate entity. Major arcs will likely be followed but things aren't going to go down the same way.

10 Silly Things in The Walking Dead Season 2 Premiere

1. It's okay to let your son walk up to a wild horned Buck he wants to pet because it's a cute scene.

2. 5000 zombies can sneak up on you. Even if you have a look-out on the roof of a camper.

3. T-Dawg can gash his arm so deep he bleeds out like he cut a major artery, shirt soaked in blood, but just bandage him up and he's good in no time flat. No transfusion required.

4. "Staying in my line of sight" means "I don't even notice if you aren't around, much less opening a car with a dead body that could attack you and bringing back a bag of extremely sharp blades."

5. Zombies can no longer smell the living so the gut-smearing to hide your scent thing was just for fun.

6. Camper bathrooms don't have locks. Something that easily keeps out zombies. Use feet instead.

7. In order to save a lost and frightened girl, you need to draw 2 zombies as far away from her as possible, just to hit them with a rock which could have been done at any time. Consequently, you still lose the girl.

8. To hide a bleeding friend from a zombie, stick a dead body on him. That will cover the scent of blood that...wait...are they covering scents or hiding?

9. If you try to kill yourself and someone stops you, you won't get another chance so stay pissed.

10. Get mad when the guy that tried to rape you no longer wants to be your sons role model.

I hesitated to say anything since there's so much love for that premier but honestly, I was kinda bored for significant chunks of it, and the loopholes were laughable to me (as well as the final episode of season 1). I truly did laugh some of the holes while I was watching the episode; thanks for posting that list  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

Overall still a kickass show and will continue watching, I just think they need to be writing more consistently (the zombie scent thing being a perfect example).

Post by: Lifeboy on October 19, 2011, 12:47:24 PM
I loved the season 2 premiere, I noticed just about everything that was posted on that list above as they happened. If I sat down and took the time, my list would have been almost identical to that.


and since you brought it up, queenie, the season 1 finale was weak and laughable to me as well.

Still love the show, though.

yep. not a good idea to watch this show after finishing season 4 of Breaking Bad.

pretty much every bland character on Walking Dead does whatever is the stupidest thing possible.
there is no internal logic to the show, as those points above make clear.
it's just kind of...baffling.
i wanted to give it another chance, but this episode was dumb all over.

It could indeed be written more betterer, but scenes like a crossbow through a zombie head, and multiple screwdriver stabs into a zombie eye socket, will keep me coming back.

Also, people hype the smell thing as a flaw but that's bullshit.
They aren't fucking bloodhounds. If they see you and don't smell dead people, they eat you.

If they don't hear you, they don't look for you.
If they don't see you, they don't try to smell you.

He's been my favorite character since his entrance to the show. I love how the group is standing around in the woods trying to kill the walker with axes and guns and whatnot, and he comes out of nowhere with his crossbow, nails the zombie right between the eyes, and says "You gotta hit em in the brain... don't y'all know NOTHIN?!"

Definitely. He was a big hit among my roommates last year, all of whom were from SC and like the loudmouth redneck aspect of his character. Dude definitely doesn't put up with any shit.

In the books as well as the series, I've always liked Glen, even though he was a little quiet in the premier.

Theories are gradually becoming harder to formulate as they are ignoring so many restrictions/plot elements they have put in place. Perhaps the most obvious example being when the radiator hose breaks on the van so they stop to see if they can fix it while others run down the road to see if they can find car parts/supplies. After some conversation and pointless drama, they hop back in the van and drive away, while the crew going to get auto parts never came back, nor did the van ever get fixed.

Again, the show is fun and all, but holy shit the holes make in impossible to bother figuring out what may happen (assuming they stray from the book).

When you say "van" are you referring to the camper or some break down in season one that I do not recall?

Also, for those of you reading the comic, issue 90 came out today and is pretty strong. The second & third to last pages are way powerful and really underline what The Walking Dead is really about.

Bout to take a stroll, may stop by the comic book store a few blocks from my house and see what they got. I've only read through #80 so I have some catching up to do.

Edit: just read it on the walk back from the store. Spot on, RJ.

New comics day!

Issue 91 isn't a mindblower but it points to the next arc (I hope).

Also, in the letters section, they confirm that the early season 2 ratings have ensured a third season of the tv show.

Yeah yeah.

I get your point RJ in that it's an interesting drama about people living in a world with a whole new set of rules and less of a zombie walker-slaughtering-eye-candy-show, but season 2 has been such a snooze for me, especially the last couple of episodes. I'd still like to check out the books because I think it may be better as a book than on film for many reasons but I just dunno if the show can hold my interest any longer.

They zombies.

Walkers are zombies that walk around looking for lunch.

There are also lurkers. They just lie about waiting for lunch to come along.

You have been warned.

Personally, I've been liking season two better than season one.  I tend to get bored with a show that isn't, on some level, a character drama.  Season two has me more invested in the characters, as opposed to "just the show".

Agreed, i thought last weeks show was the best of the season so far. I even pulled a "brother in the movie theatre" move and yelled "don't go into that Barn dude!!!" at the TV.

I think this coming Sunday's episode is going to be tits.

The books don't dick around with a lot of flashback & backstory either.

I'm right there with you. I've been waiting for Rick a certain someone that I won't name so as not to get all spoiler-y to shoot him since the middle of the first season.
fypfm


Finally it seems like they're getting closer to it.

That would be awesome. I have certain doubts tho.

They need to sack up and make it happen.

Also, they need to gtfo of the vast, indefensible, expanses of Herschel's farm. They've made that shit look so big that it cannot possibly be secured.

That's enough

I share your anger in they way it's going with Shane.  I was very disappointed when Rick had his "moment" and decided to go back and save him, even though it was executed with a badass, 1990s, hanging-outta-the-window, gangsta-rap-style, drive-by. 

The season isn't over, so anything could happen still.  But I fear that everything will just "be alright" with Shane and the crew.


ETA:  My favorite part of the episode (zombie killings aside) is when Shane was looking out of the window, watching the lone walker out in the field all by itself.  It fit perfectly (especially at the end).  Definitely one of my favorite shots of the show. 
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: rowjimmy on February 28, 2012, 07:26:21 AM
I loved that closing shot.
The walker in the field smelled rank like prime foreshadowing.

Phil, I hear you but Kirkman has said that we need to let go of the plot expectations built on reading the books. Things simply will not be going down in the same way.


Other things I liked:
Rick talking about the coming Winter. It's crazy that it's not Winter yet. But that's good.

How Andrea called out Lori for her sexist, gender-role, bullshit.

And really, finally, some good action.

While i agree that Lori's gender-role speech was BS, I think Andrea is a friggin' nut. We've already got Shane as the gung-ho nut. Do we need a female version? Bitch learns how to shoot and all of a sudden she's a hard ass Annie Oakley.

True, it just bugs me that they devote so much time in the show to making him such a loathsome character only to have him make nice in the end. I want this prick to get what he deserves.

This. Mad at people for keeping her from killing herself, then takes credit for not killing herself (her "i found my own reasons for living" bs).


looking forward to next week big time, I feel like we're in for a kickass rest of the season.

First, fuck yeah!  I'm so glad that finally happened.  Second, am I correct to assume that it's now airborne?  We didn't really get any info on it at all, but I'm guessing that the virus has now mutated or something?  In the sense that it can now be passed from person to person, infecting the person as a "carrier" and, when they die, the virus takes over as if they had been bitten in the first place?

It's something they addressed later on in the books. When people die, they come back as walkers regardless of having not been bitten. I'm not sure why they're making a point to emphasize it so early in the story in the tv show (because to me it seemed like a minor detail in the books), but my guess is the writers want to use it as a plot element.

I also liked T-Dog using the backside of the claw hammer to kill the zombie in the opening few scenes. Clearly they did that to clear up the ambiguity as to whether his character is a stand-in for Tyreese. I'm excited to see where they take the character in the next season.


Beginning to end, I thought that episode was top-notch. Definitely going to watch it again today.

Edit: I've been watching a lot of the cast interviews on amc's website, it seems not a single one of them is in any way familiar with the books. Coupled with the inane comments people are leaving (calling the writers "faggots" for killing off shane, etc.) it's pretty irritating.

I never read the series so I had no idea who that was at the end with Andrea and I assumed that was a prison.

Just finished the 2nd season.

I had mixed feelings about it, overall. I liked the progression of Rick's character into the realm of the badass. I liked seeing Shane go. Carl is fucking annoying (lol @ the thing blat posted a couple pages back). I just thought a lot of the acting was especially poor in the 2nd season. Not sure if it was the script or the actors, but I found myself laughing more often than I should while watching the show.

Also, Hershel w/ shotgun = badass old man.

Can't wait for next season.

You pretty much summed up my opinions as well.  I almost stopped watching it halfway through the season, but decided to see it to the end.
Very glad I did.  Last two episodes were the best since the first episode.  I was blown away.  I have not read the comic/graphic novel so I do not know about the character introduced at the end nor do I understand the implications of the building shown in the last scene (seems to be a prison according to earlier posts), so I am excited to see this take a turn into a new direction.  The farm was getting stale, but now I can't wait for the next season!

Telltale Games has just released the first episode of The Walking Dead game for Xbox360, PS3, Windows, and Mac OS. There is reportedly going to be an iOS version, but it's not out yet.

A behind the scenes first look at season three. 

It's so odd seeing "Rick" and hearing that accent.

I was surprised to see that the DVR recorded a new Walking Dead episode this past Sunday.  I got all excited thinking that I missed the announcement for the Season Premiere.  Turns out they just re-aired the pilot in Black and White and called it a First Time Airing on the DVR.   :x

That actually sounds really cool, I hope they re-air it. The books are in B&W, you know.



I just checked and it's not set to re-air anytime soon. If it was listed as new and your DVR recorded it I wonder why mine didn't record it.

Looks like I may have to try to find it on eztv.it or on demonoid.

Pretty much what I expected as well.  I read all the books in between last season and this one, so this is the first time I'm watching it from that perspective.  And, so far, I'm really impressed with how they brought the prison to life. 

As far as the time jump goes, I couldn't say for sure, but it's been a while.  Lorie is huge and about to give birth and, when we saw them last, she wasn't really showing yet (as far as I can remember).  Also in that scene between Andrea and Michonne, one of them mentioned "all winter long".  I guess it's safe to say they jumped from late summer/early fall to some time in the spring?  That would be about right if you use Lorie's baby bump as a guide.

My issue is that when the prison was shown in the background at the end of the season, it looked to be a mile or two away from where they were camping. It took them 6-7 months to find it? Small thing to bitch about and not something to lose sleep over, I guess.

the exec producer talked about that on the after show last night. he explained the closeness of the prison was correct at the end of last season, but b/c of the walker "herd movements" the group was funneled in different directions and wasnt given a clear view/path to the prison all winter.

anyway, season 3 gonna rawk. i think last night kicked major ass and was pretty much better than all of season 2 combined.
the character development from the actors standpoint seemed like they have really grown into the positions they are in now, and  there is no more sitting around a farm trying to be a soap opera... helps Dale's bitch ass is gone, lol.

really thought the overall production was tip top last night.

sooo many great questions after the EP too... daaaam i hope the old man gonna live after gettin his leg chopped off- doh!

though, i'm bettin he's a gonner. it seemed havin the kid scope out the bunk next to blondy in the prison cell was foreshadowing in a way.
Carl hittin puberty, lol. def lucked out that the blond cuttie doesnt have any other breeding options, lol. go carl!!!

This episode was great!

I have a theory about the time gap. The show is running into what I call "The Walt Conundrum" (named after Lost) in which the show has a young child actor who ages faster than his character on the show does. They are either going to have to kill of Carl, or keep jumping huge gaps of time.


This season will rock!!! Other survivors are scarier than walkers now!!!

I have a feeling a lot of the 'prisoners' side stories won't happen with the exception of Andrew, who runs off from the group and disappears into a group of zombies, and that already happened, and the story of Axel, who's only real story is he joins the group. Strange how they made Axel a small southern gentleman type when in the books he's a big burly biker.

Huh. . . I didn't realize that small dude was Axel.  Guess I missed his name in the dialog of this episode.  Now that I realize that guy is Axel, I agree that it's strange casting.  But, then again, I like that the show doesn't follow every single detail of the books.  That's actually what made them interesting.  Even though I had seen the show, I was getting surprised by the same story arcs in the books.  Same general storyline, but the specifics are quite different and surprising. 
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: rowjimmy on October 23, 2012, 09:04:37 AM
Did they name that character Axel? I know he dropped some very similar dialog...

I also know that there is a potential storyline involving the prisoners remaining that could be pretty awesome and devastating and I feel that they teased it at one point.

I'll say no more but if you read the books, you probably know which I mean...

I think that storyline might make it's way into the show, they seem to have built up one of the group to fill the role of the other half of that story.

Those yellow and pink areas of that graph are necessary for building suspense and mood. If you want non-stop action rent a Micheal Bay movie, and then realize that all that action leaves you with stale characters and no plot or story.

I love this show and think the way they tell their stories is awesome.

100%.

i really thought season 2 was good "drama" for the most part, but mostly carried through by character progression and good acting.
the storyline and setting really dragged it down in the middle.

however, i feel all that character development last season is really working great for this season, so we can just get some serious plot and action now that we already understand certain motivations and whatnot.

follow me?


regardless. im thinking the writers are on a roll with tthis season so far and im thinking its just going to keep rolling.
we havent even seen much of teh other side of the group with blondie and the katana chick and the new town or whatever.


this season has me WANTING every ep to be 2 hours long.
last year i was dozing off half way thru each ep.
not anymore.

the actors have really put in great work and both them and the writers arent taking the easy street waay out any time soon from what it looks like.


you kno, one more thing i just gotta say thats so great about this show. just imagine it on ANY other major network... they would all be super clean and good looking and have a ton of hair gell somehow. i really respect the fact that these people look like they STINK! lol.

Small little detail that I really liked was that Michonne was using her 'pets' as pack mules. She had bags of equipment strapped to them. In the books they did not carry anything. Such a small thing but I really liked it.


Have all of you that read the books read the Michonne story from Playboy yet? You learn her origin and the origin of her pets in it.

They issued the Playboy pages combined with a handful of pages from the book where we met her as a one-shot earlier this month.

**Probably not a spoiler, but if you're sensitive to that type of thing don't read this post**



























Does anyone else that reads the books think they essentially split the comic version of the Governor into two separate characters for the purposes of the show?
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: rowjimmy on October 31, 2012, 01:48:16 PM
-spoiler-free post-

Not really.

The character that wasn't in the books adds a new flavor element but, as the episode wore on, I think we saw much of the same man we saw in the comics.

What we saw of the Governor played out so differently in the show because the circumstances around the first meeting were not at all the same.

the governor in the show seemed a little too...human (for lack of a better word). He is a sick bastard, don't get me wrong, but it seems a lot of the irrational/unstable aspects of the character have been transferred...

I really think it's too soon to tell.

Although... did you see that last scene?
Kinda calls your comment into question, imo.

I thought the same thing, but I thought his psychosis was very subtle. Until the scene where he shot the military dude in the head! Intense.

I think his psychosis will get more obvious and worse.

That's what I meant when I said he's a sick bastard. I just think he's a pretty calculating guy, rather than the maniac from the comic.

they talked about all this with the producer or whatever on the after show.
forgot what exactly he said, mainly b/c i tune out everything mentioned about the comic. i'm really into the show and every time i hear something about the comic it just ruins things for me, lol.

If you're into reading comics, I'd highly recommend checking them out.  You can at least check out the beginning of the series, then stop reading once they find the prison (if you feel the books are too close to the show).  That was my plan at first, but I kept on reading because I saw how much they changed the story for seasons one and two.

Enjoying this season much more than season 2 at this stage. The direction of photography looks different to me this season than the two last, hard to put my finger on it (the last episode had a very 'In The Heat Of The Night' type look to it cinematographically). Anyone else notice this?

The Governor has potential, we get to see organizing principles of society which we haven't to date (just the chaos in the absence of it, and the inevitable addition of 'prisoners' to the Rick group won't bring order but more of the same). Reading between the lines in the posts above, I'm looking forward to his development and the meeting with the Rick group.

Andrea hasn't learned anything. Is she adding anything to this story for anyone?

Everyone is so up on Michonne in this thread I'm going to sheath my judgement for now, but what we have seen thus far - flat and acute - any bright student in a freshman English or Gender Studies or Film Studies class in college would be able to slice this character to pieces. And, please don't give me the how cool she is with a samurai sword bullshit. However, that she has appeared within the pages of Playboy is a point in her favor  :wink:

All that said, they did kill a child in the beginning-ish part of Season 2 which is quite the step. Nothing like that yet in Season 3, fwiw.

yeah, i cant put my finger on it either, but overall the production value seems to have been escalated.
as i mentioned before they still are doing a great job of keeping things 'dirty' so to speak, but i also have noticed some sort of improved cinematography... who knows, maybe you just put the idea in my head, lol.

Kinda simplifies it to call it a book reference. I mean it's all loosely canonical given that Kirkman wrote the story for that book.

Also worth noting, another Governor book is due out shortly.

in some sense i agree.
in another light, after last weeks apocalyptic events this weeks EP could be seen as a breather and refresh setup for whats to come.

i think the most interesting thing, writing-wise, this season is obviously the dicotamy of the 2 storylines.
i think the producers are making a point of having 2 counter-balanced stories and paces balancing each other.
on the one hand we have the tension action  filled prison, the other the intrespective and emotion  laden Fairbury.

the real question, from a critical standpoint, is how well are these two elements being interwoven.
personally, i think they have done a very good job up to this point.
My only concern recently has stemmed from the differing approaches that have resulted from multiple 'Directors' of the episodes.
I would be interested in finding some sort of information concerning their format of constantly using different Directors for each episode.
I'm not sure how much of it is actually part of their vision or if it is just SOP.

on the one hand we have the tension action  filled prison, the other the intrespective and emotion  laden Fairbury.

the real question, from a critical standpoint, is how well are these two elements being interwoven.
personally, i think they have done a very good job up to this point.
My only concern recently has stemmed from the differing approaches that have resulted from multiple 'Directors' of the episodes.
I would be interested in finding some sort of information concerning their format of constantly using different Directors for each episode.
I'm not sure how much of it is actually part of their vision or if it is just SOP.

Walking Dead battle royale in season 3 finale between the two.  Wtf is up with all the heads the "Governor" has in the fish tanks?  Thats freaking weird.  Also, how gross was it when he was brushing his daughter's hair and ripped some skin off!

Nice touch with the Chopin being played during that scene (Etudes, Op. 10, No. 3 in E Major). Very possible they choreographed that scene to match the music rather than the other way around.

Michonne may well turn out to be a third prong in the storyline in addition to the prison and the town (obvious, though, isn't it, that those in the prison are free, and those in the town are prisoners?).

So very much enjoyed this episode.
One great thing about them diverging from the comic is that the surprises are more frequent.


*****SPOILERS AHEAD**********
Rick straight up lost it but let's talk about Lori.

Her body was GONE.

I'd figure, as Rick probably did, that the one zombie munched on her shit but he didn't eat it all... Also, the bullet on the slab like that, did kiddo miss? Is Lori gonna lurch out of a corner for a snack before the season is out?

Also, did I miss them finding Carol's body? T-Dog turned himself into a buffet so she could run and she ran. But they found her head scarf right at the doorway where we last saw her. Did I blink and miss them finding a body? I saw they dug a grave but...

Post by: Igbo on November 13, 2012, 09:35:51 AM
I agree with your questions cuz I was thinking the same thing.

But dude was digging 3 graves. Who was in the 3? Tdog, Carol, and Lori? I can't think they would've just skipped over her burial.

No mention of anyone going back to grab her body.

Prepare for Lori the Walker with a big gash in her belly   

Also, the phone!!!!!

I've heard people say you could see hair in the zombie's mouth but I didn't see it. even that would not be conclusive but I subscribe to the theory that she was completely devoured and the zombie was too bloated to move.

the group assumes Carol is dead, the audience hasn't seen her since she got separated from T-dog

The whole graves thing seems odd, they didn't bury Laurie's body, Carol's not dead so they didn't bury her body, the only body they may have buried was T-Dog. So why even dig and fill in three graves?

It looked like the bullet that Rick picked up didn't have blood on it, like Carl just shot the ground. So I'm expecting to see zombie Laurie before too long.

I always wait until I've watched the newest episode before I open this thread. Granted that's usually on Monday night, so I don't have to wait that long, but I still avoid it all day on Monday.

Finally caught up. This season rocks.

Last ep was good. Agreed that the rick phone calls were pointless. My gf and I called it by the first one that it was just Rick losing it. After all that was said and done, it seemed like Rick's mourning process was pretty quick. But hey, it's a tv show.

Also, Andrea has been my least favorite character for a while. Her slutting it up with the governor just furthers that and makes it official.

yeah, for what it was i think they did a pretty good job with the whole phone thing.
from what i heard it was actually drawn out a lot longer in the comic book, so its all good with me how they added it in.

really theyve decided to be extremely ambitious with the amount of plot being covered this season, and so far i think they are holding it together pretty dern well.

it is a very tough balancing act of --too much/not enough action; too much/ not enough plot or character development, etc etc. with this kind of show.

it seems they have learned an awful lot from the first two seasons and their approach to developing this material for the tv medium.
i'm very impressed and hopeful the writing will continue to mature and at the same time keep its edge.

is it confirmed for FEB? --i hope so. i can handle FEB, but waiting til the summer would blow.
i really wish they'd throw in 2 hour episodes for the finale or premieres too. 1 hour is NEVER enough for this show.
really curious how they're going to cram everything in next episode.

if you saw the after show they showed a great scene from next week--****SEMI-SPOILER****-- Michon coming across Penny in the dungeon!

Also, i'm trying to figure out who's gonna die next EP.
It really seems like we could see a bunch of people 'biting' it... though most likely they'll leave us with possible deaths/cliffhangers.
For some reason i have a feeling both the Gimps are going to die soon: Hershel and Merl. for  no reason other than they already are half there!

there was something in the trailer at the end of the show that i couldnt quite catch, but it looked like Carl saying: " leave her behind".
--Carol? the baby?!? his girlfriend?

LEaving Carl in charge of the prison with just Carol, Hershel, the girl and the white prison dude-- talk about a set up.
They're sitting ducks.
all the big killers went on the rescue mission.

man o man o man, i CAN'T WAIT A WHOLE WEEK!!!  :frustrated:

At least it's not as bad as what AMC does with Breaking Bad.  We gotta wait a whole year to see the 2nd half of its current season.  They might as well call them what they are, two short seasons.

there was somethin in the teaser for the next half of the season that i think i caught one of the prison group sayin somethin like: "we're not letting 'whoever' back in".
so either merle or andrea...
my guess is merle and and daryl somehow get out of woodbury and then return to the prison, which will allow for tension between glen/merle etc etc...

I thought the fight scene between Michonne and The Governor was the pinnacle of the season. I've said it before - Michonne's character as she is being portrayed in the series is just plain flat and uninteresting in the extreme - but I wouldn't be surprised if in 5-10 years people will still talk/write about it. A really incredible piece of choreography/writing in those couple of minutes.

Rise of the governor is good. It gives you lots of backstory about who the governor really is.

I still need to get Road to Woodbury.

So I recently played the WD game on the PS3 and was pretty blown away by the story and the characters. My daughters boyfriend recently lent her the first compendium comic book thing  so I borrowed it and demolished it while I was plowing the past few days. I'm absolutely hooked now. We are going to start watching the 1st season this week. I'll have to read back through this thread.

So that was apretty bad ass episode. Rick is now going "off the deep end" crazy. The Walking Dixons are gonna cause some shit, (at least until Darryl has to kill Merl). And the guv'ner has a massive bone to pick with our protagonists now. The rest of this season is going to be intense!



Remember back in season two when we were stuck watching Argument Farm, yeah this is sooo much better.

The hallucinations of Rick are his heads in aquarium tanks.

Being a leader will make you crazy the writers seem to be saying.
I wish the writers would say here is what it looks like when leadership is forced on someone, and furthermore what it looks like when they get the fuck on with it.

Trauma seems necessary, but not sufficient in this case. We will have to agree to disagree.
With Daryl sauntering, I do like the opening they've given Glenn here of becoming harder around the edges.

It looks like Rick didn't need a kick in the ass after all.  He simply needed to look into a mirror before it was too late.  It was the perfect way to bring back Morgan, having him serve as Rick's "mirror."

IMO, this was some of the best writing, directing, and acting (thanks to Lennie James) that we've seen on this show in a long time.  Definitely my favorite episode of the season so far.

One of the walkers who tried to get into the car was Erin (according to her bracelet that said "Erin").  I guess we're supposed to assume that she's the same Erin who was addressed in the sign. 

There is an Erin in the comics, but she's kind of a minor character who doesn't come into the story for a while.

Agreed as well. The guy who plays Morgan is a great actor, and had some of the best dialogue of the season. The traps were fucking genius.
I thought the bookending of the episode with the "hiker" was well done too.
Have they done an episode during the series which only followed two or three characters for the entire episode? I could really enjoy more of those.

michone def got a lil character development bump this week.
after hearing on the aftershow that in the books (i dont read) she is more of a sexually charged character and is invloved with Rick... i can see that possibly developing in the show as well.
TBH, even without having read the books i reaallly dig her character so far. most of the complaints about her are from the people that read the books and havent liked the differences, but from a tv only perspective i like her slow character development and the direction it is going so far.
...oh yeah and the actress bein mad sexy doesnt hurt. i have a soft spot for dready chicks. :wtu:

I haven't watched last nights episode yet (I have to wait for the wife to get home from work for that), but I just found out that there is going to be a Walking Dead book this year on Free Comic Book Day.

Quote
(http://www.freecomicbookday.com/catalogimages/STK_IMAGES/STK520001-540000/STK525977.jpg)

This special Walking Dead issue contains a new Tyrese short story, who made his television debut in The Walking Dead Season 3! It also reprints short stories featuring Michonne, The Governor and Morgan. This special issue is a must-have for Walking Dead fans--none of these stories will be reprinted in the trade paperbacks!

By the way, Free Comic Book Day falls on May 4th this year, 'May the fourth be with you'.

last night was the definite set up for the final 3  ep shit storm that about to hit.
gonna be fun.
i'm trying to guess who is going to die out of all of the main characters.
i mean... obviously someone has to die.

also, im really curious how this season will wrap up and then be geared into next season.
could we see a prison/fairbury (wait... is that the name of the town? lol) group merge?
will they go on the road?
where to next?
i'm really curious how this will all play out and move forward past the whole group vs group thing which actually started to devolve this week by opposing characters finding similarities between each other.


guesses on who will die?
1. governor...
2. andrea?
3. "Gaggie" -- ( Glenn/Maggie )

If you're talking about the same thing I'm thinking of, it was in the back of his truck when he left to go check the perimeter.  I don't think he picked up anything.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.  I didn't catch if it was in there before he left or not, but I definitely saw it when he was pulling back up.  Looked like some type of box covered by a tarp.

It may be because the prior episode was really strong with great dialogue, but I thought the meeting between Rick and The Govenor was underwhelming.
The dialogue was flat, and although that was a pinnacle moment in the series, it lacked the requisite tension for such a moment I thought.

At any rate, looking forward to these last episodes. 

Does the scientist/advisor/historian actor remind anyone of a young John Ritter? That's who he reminds me of every time he comes on screen.

I was not a fan of the last episode.  The first one in a long time that I didn't like.  I still don't understand why Rick wouldn't just blast the Governor's head off right there.  Problem solved.  Granted that puts a damper on the intended plotline. Also, Andrea is no longer the innocent girl that got duped by the bad guy. Right and wrong are pretty clear at this point and they still have her siding with the Governor.  It just seemed like the writers were doing a lot of cheating in that episode.  I guess we'll just see what's in store for Andrea.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: rowjimmy on March 12, 2013, 12:52:20 PM
I think Andrea is on a long journey.

She's lost in the wilderness,
torn between two homes.

She needs to find her path,
the safest route to carry her to where she really wants to be.

She wants to be safe,
protected,
fed
and respected.

That's what I didn't like about that episode, myself.

Andrea is on a mission of self and she will find that home...

I think Andrea is on a long journey.

She's lost in the wilderness,
torn between two homes.

She needs to find her path,
the safest route to carry her to where she really wants to be.

She wants to be safe,
protected,
fed
and respected.

Told the wife the same thing last night, albeit less poetic than RJ, but imo Andrea is done for!!! If she aint blowing the Govenor anymore, and Rick wants nothing to do with her, adios muchacha!

excited for the final 2 eps...
only seems like a few possible outcomes... id love to see a serious twist that keep us thinking where the next season will head.
personally i hope Rick gets his head out of his ass pronto. i miss the old rick.

honestly id love for them to ditch the whole 'settlement' premise that seems to have dominated each season.
like i wish we could have followed them between season 2 and 3 when they were wandering around in the cold.
i think itd be dope if they got on the road and there was a little les predictability of the environment.

I too was interested in seeing the winter survival.  All we got were stories of the hordes of walkers.  I wanna see that.  Hiding in abandoned cars, barely escaping, all that intense shit.  I have enjoyed this season, despite that.

i agree in part, but i think the final test for Rick being sane will be how he handles the Michone trade proposition.
IMO the old Rick would see that there is no good reason to even consider handing over Michone.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

Except when they do not.

I can see why he'd have at least be upset with having to make the decision but I don't see him giving her up.


I think everyone who read the books is on the edge of their seat wondering if, as things have already gone so far off the map, this will end the same way as the books? Or will it go worse for some?

I sure hope not.  Not because I think it would be a bad cliffhanger (matter of fact, it would probably be intense).  I just don't want to see this story carry over to the next season.  I'm hoping that they resolve the entire Woodbury/Prison thing and move on.

This may be premature, since the finale hasn't even aired yet, but I'd like to see next season go back on the road.  Anyone else feel the same?  Or do you want them to time jump to the next "safe" destination that they plan to call home?  Or do you think they'll defeat the governor and continue to live at the Prison next season? 

I'm hoping for a road trip, personally.

Rick's speech towards the end of the last episode came very close to McCarthy "carrying the fire" type of dialogue in The Road.

They are graphic novels aren't they? Couldn't you just look at the pictures?

FWIW, graphic novels aren't my thing and therefore I won't be reading them, but if those of you who do read them want to bring plot points in fine by me personally. The thread doesn't have to be limited to just the show in my opinion, and any bleeding from one to the other in this thread isn't going to damage my experience of the show.

Well, that was a pretty big letdown.   :|

The one thing I really did enjoy about it is that Tyreese finally joined the group.  So, that's cool.  I just hope next year doesn't turn into Argument Prison.

Well, I probably shouldn't have used such strong words.  That post kinda makes it sound like I hated it, which I certainly did not.  I just wanted to see the overall story move forward a bit more.  That's my only beef with it.  I mean, there was plenty of action and all that.  It was super tense, and would have made one hell of a mid-season finale or something like that.  I guess my expectations were just a bit high after that awesome finale last year.

That being said, I really am pumped that Tyreese is with the group now.  Also, it'll be interesting to see how they deal with going from a small band of close friends to a large group (that's a lot of mouths to feed).

Really good episode. The thought of a crazy-ass vagabond guvna' makes me uneasy. That psychotic douche could show up anytime and cause a ruckus. Also, as much as Carl is right to not trust any of the new Woodbury transplants, that little prick is goin to cause some shit next season. I envision him killing off the new people one-by-one.

Glad Andrea is finally gone.

yeah... ive watched the finale 4 or 5 times now, and each time he is more annoying than the last.
the whole ".. now go" speech to Rick should have been reshot with better intonation in Carl's lines. His delivery made it sound so much worse than i think it was meant to be.
::sigh::   hopefully, hopefully we don't have to suffer through some uncomfortable prepubescent whiney fest next season focusing on him the whole time. just have to wait and see.

...on the other hand, i'm officially in Love with Beth now. i was sorta holding back because i thought she was like only 18 or 19, but in the local paper today i found out she's fromm Nebraska, went to college here in Lincoln, and graduated in 2006. so... green light, lol. :wtu:
unless she graduated college @ 12 that is. :oops:

It looks like yet another actor from The Wire will be joining the cast (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=78189). 

QuoteAccording to International Digital Times, Lawrence Gilliard Jr. is in talks to join the cast of The Walking Dead in its upcoming fourth season as Roy Stark. This would mean that the actor - perhaps best known for playing D'Angelo Barksdale in The Wire - will meet up with another actor from that series, Chad Coleman (who plays Tyrese). He has also appeared in The Waterboy, Gangs of New York and Lie to Me. We first heard about the introduction of Roy Stark when it was revealed after the conclusion of season three that AMC were on the hunt for the character, who will be a series regular, described as "a former army medic who is deeply haunted by his past".

Just the other day I read an interview with Kirkman, and he said this next season will follow the books more closely than any other. 

I have mixed feelings about that.  On the one hand, there's some really cool story arch's they could bring over to the TV series.  But, on the other hand, if they follow the books too closely it can become a bit too predictable for those of us who've read them.

Either way, that trailer has me pumped!

getting uber pumped  :beerbang:

a few thoughts from rewatching the series for about the 20th time, lol:

1. this show is very good.
2. season 2 aka 'argument farm' is better than i remembered, and  better than people felt at the time IMHO.
3. i hate Carl.
4. will the new season turn into "argument prison", aka 'Carl hits puberty and won't stop whining?'

I liked all the bug foreshadowing in the episode. The spider with the web was the crazy lady. And the ants with the beetle were zombies and the prison, I'm guessing.

Pffft.  Sneaking out?  Just skip the first set entirely, watch walking dead, head in and make it in time for second set. Plus you get to miss Possum.

I love the show, just got hooked...  Though the Zombie attacks have gone for scary to comical... 

I hate that its not done yet, so I can't binge-watch the entire series in a week...  I have to wait for the next episode?!?  That is so 2000s...

It's a Tom Wait's song, but the Ramones and Hayes Carll both covered it. "I don't wanna grow up"

i dont think the actual gov is in the prison, but someone he has working for him is.

the one possibility i keep coming back to is someone, possibly that guy from the wire that is the alcoholic, that said Darryl had just picked him up a week ago, basically was a plant made by the govenor to infiltrate the prison once he realized they were taking in outsiders.

Ha!  Yeah, I'm gonna have to go on record in saying, "no way." 

At first I thought that maybe the governor found a way to sneak in at night but, now that I think about it, I like Slim's idea that new guy from The Wire may be working for him. 

Maybe, maybe, it's one of those idiot kids who are giving them names, but no way it's Carl or Rick.

I def think its that guy.

1.he lost his kid. (He's pissed)
2.hes got something to prove to the gov.
3.he has been in the prison before and knows about the breech in the other wall to get inside.

Well, the look Rick gave over to animal pens when he saw the dead rats looked suspicious to me.  I had completely forgotten about the governor until Slim's post.  The rats just seem like such a childish act to me.

WHAT'S THE POINT OF BEING IN A PRISON???!!



Seriously, though, Rick is on a journey. He lost himself for a bit.
this happens in the comic (differently but still) and he steps away from leadership and swinging his hatchet and all that. Pretty sure that is changing again for him.

How gnarly was it when he backed up and found himself rolled up on a pile of zombie mud flesh?
Also, Tyrese had his prison gym moment there.

really interesting episode last night.
some serious writing going on.
i caught so many little theme nuggets after the 2nd and 3rd time i watched it.
the title of the ep.: "indifference" really said it all.

--the opening scene was trippy as heck with the girl's speech seeming to reflect Carol's thoughts.
--then  the watch allusion to Dale's story from  season one.
--so many characters changing perspectives... daryl, michone...

...shit was deep.
i highly recommend multiple screenings for this one to pick up on everything.

They confirmed that he's coming back, if that's what you're worried about.  But, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't release his name in the credits of upcoming episodes.  They clearly want that to remain a surprise.

Really enjoyed the Rick/Carol parts of the episode last night. Some of the best dialogue of the season so far between those two I thought.
Wasn't as bowled over with the Tyrese/Michone line. They are all carrying weight, I get it. Overstated, I guess. However, they ate up the screen time thus not having to suffer Carl, so everything has a silver lining I guess.

Zombie Typhoid Mary walks from the Vet School to Prison...  or Swine Flu perhaps???

I agree with RJ here.  First, I didn't see him grab a bottle at any point except for in that store towards the beginning of the season.  Did I miss something?  Second, he is too fishy to not be up to something.  Third, Carol and governor show down in the woods or will Carol recruit followers from the prison and the main conflict this season is a confederacy issue?  ( I know that is borderline improper use of the word "confederacy" but you get my point.  I had a 30 minute presentation this morning, my brain is toast.)

I thought the exact same thing.

And I like your theory that he is the plague bearer, but immune to the actual effects of the plague.

As for Carol, I think she'll show up down the road as a bad-ass big-bad. I could see her becoming the main antagonist in a future season.

Now with Carol gone the only ones left from the original group from season one are Rick, Carl and Glen (who seems to have the plague). I forgot that Daryl came in season one also.

I'm worried that Carol has slipped too far into the detachment of a psychopath but I don't think they'll make her a big bad.

If anything, I bet she finds redemption.

Is there anyway we can look at the credits for the whole season and see if the governor is on there?

i think Carol and the Gov. might possibly  end up forming the equivalent of the 'Others'.
the governor reminds me of the Russian. maybe its the eye patch. :wink:

Ha i can't think of anything else now except the gov working the flame.

I think she will run, then double back for her kin... then find the guvna, and kill him, redeeming herself to the Group...

She'll go back after finding a new place for the survivors of The Flu...

So hes definitely been perving the prison for a while now. And he def has a part in the rats.  I still think it's the guy who lost his wife and his son was shot by carl, but hes def working for him, possibly in the prison still.

Doesn't the bearded Gov look a bit like Captain Ron?

That was another really good episode, I think I liked the first guv'ner episode better though. This one did show you how sadistically crazy he is.

Kill your friend because he wants you to help him lead, and you don't want to.
Kill the new leader because you now want to lead, even though he asked you to help him lead.

Next week is going to be tension filled.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: justjezmund on November 26, 2013, 10:15:45 AM
I think he killed them both because both of them asked him to HELP them lead.  Gov is no co-leader.  He wants the entire crown.  He's fine being the leader but the gov answers to no man.

Regardless the he is batshit crazy.

Let's just say that their departure from the prison was akin to theirs in the comic...

The whole scene was fresh and different from the book but it was nice to see the nod back to the source, especially with that last shot of Rick & Carl.

Finally got around to watching it late last night & woah! :clap:  I hope we don't have a situation where chick missed when shooting Gov'nah in the head and he comes back and blah blah blah.  I don't know about y'all but I'm ready for the story to move on from him and a new "nemesis" enter the scenario.  I haven't read any of the written material regarding the show so I have no clue where it's going next but I'm excited for it. 

My assumptions for the future:  Carol will return via running into someone, Rick and Carl will probably go on their own for a bit & have some father-son character building, the bus will be the first to get into shit, & Darryl will finally get a "mate".

If you think you said something different than I, you misunderstood me.
The Governor was not going to survive the wound Michonne gave him. She didn't feel he deserved the mercy of a quick death or not returning as a walker.
It could almost be said that Lilly was more merciful.

Damn, that is straight from the comics, except for Carl looking so much older.

I have a feeling Walking Dead is going to run into the same problem Lost did, in that they have a child star who ages faster than the show. They are going to have to start explaining bigger and bigger gaps of time to account for how much older Carl looks.

Solid episode. Michonne stuff was great. She really got her wallow on and joined a herd for a minute!
Carl was solid and straight pissed at Rick. Really pushed the kid to the edge of his acting chops, too.
A lot of that was straight out of the comic, or at least so much closer than most of the first half of the season that it bears noting.

I bet that pudding was awesome.

Haha, for real.
But for Michonne, I thought it was very interesting in that scene where she is with the herd and she kind of wakes up.  Great back story for her and great moment of what seemed to be an awakening after the shock of what happened at the prison.

Latest episode was good.  Great set up of things to come!  Can't wait to see what's up with this new group of people, as well as Terminus.

thoughts on tonites ep:

a. rosalita (?) --hawt.
b. def enjoyed the home invasion section. great tension.

show is still 110% on point for me. 
i can understand some folks not feeling things as much this year--something brought up i heard was that getting into this season most viewers have desensitized to the zombie killing which has dulled the action aspect a bit.
though for me it hasnt really changed anything since i never really cared about any gore/horror aspect of the show.
the drama/ writing i think is as good if not better than its ever been.

the one issue i personally have i guess is that i find the stories are tough to get into with the hour long format. im pretty sure id enjoy the seasons more if i could watch 2-3 at a time. but theres no way im going to wait and stack up to do that

Beth is about 17, irrc.

But I kinda was afraid things would go there for a moment.

I'm curious about how long the Glenn/Maggie suspense will be kept up.

Overall, good ep. Keep 'em coming.



One last thing:

This made me LOL

condolences.

I also agree with your comments 'slim re the zombie violence and the audience losing interest as they become accustomed to it.
Thing is, Walking Dead has never been just about zombies.

Everyone on the screen (or page, in the case of the comic) is the Walking Dead. The show is about the people.

k, comics vs. tv show.
id say in the tv show from the hints we've gotten about beth's past and the time elapsed from when she fiurst showed up that she is about 21 currently.
in fact i thinkn the whole "1st drink" theme in that episode was a 21st birthday reference in a way.

FWIW the actress was born in 85,,,



anyway,
tonite's ep. turning out alot better than the last few imo.
i was startin to see TWatts discontent with teh last few.
theres still alot of good stuff goin on, but im not a fan of some of the editing or direction this year.
their always changing directors and editors from year to year and episode to episode, so its hard to judge sometimes.
i dunno, but tonights episode is intense with crazy whatzherface. :shakehead:

I would probably have a greater appreciation of the show if:

1. I wasn't freekin' terrified of zombies.
2. I had read the comics.

But point taken... 

I'll end up picking the show back up once it get much further along...  I got through the end of the last season, I'll want to see how it all ends...

He's had some time only a week or two tops) and some intervening events that cast his loss in a new light.

Agreed that the whole thing with the kids certainly changed the way he would look at things  I was only half-serious, but if someone confessed the same thing to me, I don't think the first words that I would utter in response would be "I forgive you".  Maybe I'm just a dick.   :-P

Having been a big Steinbeck fan as a teenager I saw that Of Mice and Men ending coming a few weeks ago, they had been laying the groundwork for this episode for some time.

And good call, RJ, seeing this as the twins storyline. I hadn't made that connection yet.

    looks like we're headed for a major season ending cliff hanger. waaay too much random bs to wrap up.
not even sure if anyone is going to get killed off, but hopefully the lesbian. she's lame. i can't even ever remember her name she's so forgetable.
   Rosalita on the other hand i def cant forget. SLim's got a weak spot for pig tails.


ETA-- wtf is up with every ep this half season ending in a stupid song?
TBh i think this half season sorta went a lil soft/mainstream... i also have been noticing some of the survivors seem started having hair looking like they just walked out of the salon. thats something CW does, not W DEAd. :shakehead:

im willing to overlook it for now since each season has a different producer or whatever. hopefully next season will get some of the edge back with a new person in charge.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Barbie

After the German conquest and occupation of the Netherlands, Barbie was assigned to Amsterdam. In 1942 he was sent to Dijon, France in the Occupied Zone. In November of the same year, at the age of 29, he was assigned to Lyon as the head of the local Gestapo.

He established his headquarters at the Hotel Terminus in Lyon, where he personally tortured prisoners: men, women, and children alike,[3][4][5] breaking extremities, using electroshock, and sexually abusing them (including with dogs), among other methods. He became known as the "Butcher of Lyon".[6] In Marcel Ophuls's Oscar-winning documentary film Hotel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie, the daughter of a French Resistance leader based in Lyon recounts her father's torture by Barbie her father was beaten, skinned alive and his head was put in a bucket of ammonia; he died shortly after.

Interesting... It is in no way the utopia the characters believe it to be, I'm not that naive. However, I never thought of the cannibalistic approach.   That seems pretty plausible, IMO.  I hope they don't try to feed them, Beth.  That would just be too much & she's too hot to waste like that. 

The trailer at the end for next week's finale.....definitely a torture theme in there.  Also, I agree with RJ about the plot developing between Darryl's new "crew" and Rick.  Can't wait to see what happen there.  LOL @ the "claim" philosophy.

after mullin over the cannibal thing a bit im going to say no for now.
it just doesnt make sense to me at this point for a # of reasons.

a. we're not far enough into the post apocolypse for people to be that desperate for food.
b. you might find one or two weirdos into it jus b/c, but a whole encampment right in the middle of GA? all of sudden previous  'normal' rural americans turning cannibals? seems like a stretch.
c. just thinking about the advertisements:
"those who arrive survive"
"shelter for all, community for all"--- sounds more like a hippy cult than cannibals to me.

id wager more on the side of some religious-type cult with a wacko leader then a bunch of people soley into eating people for eating peoples sake.



one thing im pretty sure of though is that we're not going to find out that much next week.
everything has been pointing to a major cliffhanger.
in fact i'd say this half season has been pretty much one big setup for a cliffhanger.
its one of the reasons i sorta think its been the weakest of the series.
in reality the only thing that has happened  story wise has been a bunch of wandering down train tracks...

Cannibals have arisen in both the comics and in season one of the Walking Dead game from Telltale Games.
Anybody else played that, btw?
So good.

I'm enjoying 'season two' quite a bit as well.
just downloaded the demo. 8-)

It's been a year hasn't it? They've come through a winter and the walkers were eating livestock from the time of Argument Farm.

Canned food won't have spoiled but it's surely getting sparse.
Hunting isn't easy for some folks to learn and why hunt when your meals just walk on into your camp.

Protein is important.

Eta: the signs? Don't believe everything you read.

totally, just the way i personally envision a progression of the apocaplyse (...which i cant spell, lol) it takes a lot longer to get to the cannabalism stage.
i honestly dont believe people just up and decide" o, its hard to find food today, lets start eating each other"

in most post apocalyptic stories there is alot longer decline of civilization  or some other factors that cause a much lwoer standard of behavior before people really get to that point of abandoning all morals or whatever.
just my opinion, and it wouldnt ruin the believability of the show for me probably, but i also think at this point it just would seem a tad contrived. at least for such a large organized group/

I am hearing from (disparate) people at work this is a settlement of cannibals. That they and some of the paug would have the same opinion on the matter leads me to believe this is likely. I would think a place which needs to advertise itself as safe is most likely not.

The zombies seeking human flesh, the unturned resorting to eating human flesh, it has a nice symmetry to it from a writing perspective. Blurs the lines, etc...

Did the group with Daryl get a look at Rick? Would they recognize him? I'd have to go back and see that ep again, but I thought the only one who could ID him at this point was dead.

Whatever the case, they won't outdo in this finale what they did in the Lizzie ep, I was and am very impressed with what they were able to accomplish there.

Alright, that sounds familiar. I have been happy with the minimal Carl exposure this half season. haven't missed him in the least, although with all the child killing this half season, I am saddened it means he is safe for awhile I would assume.

outside of speculation about termm, which i think wont even really all be disclosed, the real question for next week is if someone is gonna die.

im not seeing anyone getting axed, but there are a few that sorta have had enough of the usual emotional setup that its not out of the realm of possible:

my #1 would be Tara, which im all for... she finished her stupid mission now she can go thank you.

and then unfortunately Beth is probably next in line if i had to pick one, but it jus doesnt feel like they have really built anything up enough to do away with her jus yet. though it might work to get daryl all fucked up... :cry:

other than that i cant see anything in the works really.

I agree with those two, J. I'm also going to say Daryl will get caught in the crossfire between the hunters and Rick and get killed. Sorry to all the ladies who want to bear his children.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: mistercharlie on March 26, 2014, 08:02:24 AM
I doubt they'll kill off Darryl. He's been the runaway success on this show. With his character not being in the books he brings an element of the unknown to those of us who read it.

seriously my only real gripe with this 'half' season is the ciche dumb ass  outros with catchy tunes.
its like they knew everyone loved that one time with the tom waits song and ever since its some variation now. :shakehead:

i cant wait until nex season and a new producer/director or whichever is teh one that changes each time. :samurai:

this ep right now called
"internment" where everyone is sick @ the prison there is some song i dig but dont know who sings it. sounds almost like Tracy chapman...  :|

i bet they wear tiny hats when they have their cannibal rituals.



just caught something new watching the ep again:
when they are being herded/chased through the compound after they exit the candle room and go outside they run past a bunch of stacked train cars and you can here a bunch of people faintly screaming for help.
so they have alot more people in train cars besides the one they end up in with Glen and them

carl may be a bratty teen , but they all are.  I still think carl is great, and honestly has had some of the most badass kill scenes throughout the show.

Excellent shit this week.
The early fight scene harkened back to one on the road in the books when Carl was placed in similar danger and Rick and (Tyrese?) go medieval on some thugs.

Totally called this Terminus shit.

Of course they have other prisoners... Can't kill 'em cos the meat spoils too quick.

I basically said Rick's final line about a minute before he did.

After they kill up these cannibal hipsters, I hope they find a van and become the zombie apocalypse version of the A-Team.

^^this.

sounds about right.
i have a pretty good feeling about next year after the producer dropped some hints about it being sorta action packed.

i just hope the whole season isnt spent listening to that dumbass Gavin(th?) or whatever.
i wanted to punch him in the face half way through his first line.
i half expected him to tweet about the whole chase in real time :roll:

Yeah, less talk than I expected, too.  Maybe the regulars in this thread just haven't gotten around to it yet. 

Anyhow, I fully agree with you.  One of my all time favorite episodes (maybe my favorite season opener, as well!). 

The trough scene was not only gut-wrenching but, perhaps, the most twisted display of violence I've ever seen on basic cable.  The action was pretty non-stop all throughout.  Carol was quite badass, too!

That was pretty awesome. Watched it last night and damn.
Def. One of the better eps in a long time. The trough sequence was brutal and the props in the next room were simply brutal. They made the gory, messy, zombie corpses seem tame.

Good to see things tie up in that episode rather than languish for weeks...

So much for this season taking place at Terminus....

Also, in case anyone missed it, they mentioned on Talking Dead that the first one to get it at the trough was Sam from last season.  The one Rick gave his watch to (along with Sam's girlfriend) so they would know when to meet up but he never showed up (she got killed by walkers).  Great episode!

Agree with all of the above.  One of the best episodes in quite some time.  I was surprised to see them leave Terminus so quickly.  I expected them to be there for a few episodes at least.  I haven't finished reading the series so I'm not sure how that compares.  I'm about halfway through Compendium 2.

And yes, Carol kicks ass!

Was anyone else  confused  by Eugene's 'explanation' for how  he is the key to saving mankind? (from ep 1 and 2)
. I watched his speech about the human genome project etc. like 5 times and i still don't think he explained shit.

Is he saying that the Zombie apocalypse was a  biological terrorist act or something?
...or how is he saying he can just 'flip a switch' or whatever and it's all over?

That was a great, dialogue-fuled, episode. When I saw in the credits that Robert Kirkman himself wrote the episode I knew it would be good.

And about Eugene.... I've read the books so I'm not sayin' shit.

I missed, Morgan!  I'll have to go back and re-watch the credits.

I was thinkin it was one or all of them, but i think maybe theyll do a whole beth flashback next ep that leads up to that point.

one thing i thought originally after the 1st ep. was that the markers on the tree that Morgan was following were a cross in a circle, similar to the mark of the cars that took her.


i wonder if Glen and Maggie are really going to split off the main group.
i'm sorta surprised Maggie isn't thinking about whether Beth is alive or dead in the first place.

this season is so good. :crazy:

Abraham's backstory was in the comics.
He tells Rick when they are on the side trip to Rick's hometown. It's after the ambush in which Rick goes medieval on some dudes that threaten to rape Carl.

Speaking of the comics...do you think the show will get caught up eventually?  I haven't read past issue 100 yet, and it's been forever since I read them all.  But, it seems like they're getting kinda close.  I've been thinking that's why they're doing this whole "split the group up" thing.  Maybe to kill some time so they don't get too close too soon.

So, we have two episodes left.  (Correct?)  I guess we won't figure out who is with Darryl at the church until the very last episode.  I'm assuming its all three of them.  However, I can see the WD writers killing off Carol or Beth just for the drama.  I felt like nobody has really died yet this season.

Beth had become peripheral. Which leads me to the question, if this was the point, and it definitely caught me off guard I will admit, why use the limited time telling this story following her at the hospital? Perhaps something more/different occurs with Beth's character in the comics and they needed to play with some of that, but at the end of the day we have the same group of people moving back in to the city, leaving with what they started with. Arguably less in terms of Beth being a small part of the overall organism, and Carol not fully functioning at this point. How does this line drive Carol? Or Daryl? Hardened characters become more hardened by this loss? Is there narrative value in that?

I very much liked the character of Rick in the last episode. Probably his strongest of the entire season. "Just shut up". Goddamn right.

I also continue to be bitter with this winter break bullshit AMC pulls with their series. I can't be alone in that.

I'm not sure why they spent so much time with this arc, to be honest. I certainly don't remember anything like it in the comics. Maybe it is, like you said, something that will affect the rest of the crew in the long run. I don't like them splitting the season up either, but I get it. Holidays, playoffs coming up ( not for my team), etc.

My assessment exactly. I figured with both Beth and Carol in the hospital that one of them wasn't going to survive and makes more sense for Beth to take the dirt nap. Honestly, couldn't care less that she is gone.

 One of the best episodes of recent memory.  (Cue PHISH IS FUCKING BACK thread!)  but frealz...cinematic angles, effects with affect, flashbacks (they always brighten my day!), kinda bogged for 4 minutes, and drew on the ole heart strings.  With zombies and gore, taboot!   :wtu:

Slow-mo walker blasting was awesome.

I would like to never hear her sing that song again, tho.

Weird episode but great. It certainly stands as the most hallucinogenic of the series. We've never really gotten into the delirium of a person whose been bitten on the show. It marked a distinct stylistic shift but, once it was revealed as his visions, I felt comfortable that the show would shift back to normal next time.

Wtf with the half-walkers?
Did someone not know how to kill them?

Anyone thinking that the next 100 miles is going to take as long as a Sunday afternoon in the Summer? thats a LONG 100 miles in poor conditions. Plus, population (walker) densities go up fast.

First episode I've seen in a long time (as hard as I try I still can't get over how much the show differs from the books...cue hate, I know) and I'm nowhere near caught up but watched anyway because they were showing it for free at a movie theatre near my house and HOLY DAMN was it awesome.

Should you get the opportunity to watch TWD on a big ass screen, DO IT!!!

As rj said, the slow motion shots of the zombies getting their heads chopped off was awesome.  Also, after watching the marathon that preceded this mid-season opener, I love how grizzly everyone has become.  It seems very authentic and it adds a lot to their story.

Are you guys still keeping up on the books? After All Out War, I took a few months off and I have spent the past two days catching up.





Possible Spoilers below









The Lydia/Carl scene at the end of the latest issue sent creepy chills down my spine. It was the third moment so far in the series that made me cringe, but the first to do so and not be outrageously violent. And those Ed Gein whisperers are a crazy twist, not to far off from how Michonne survived but definitely a bit more gruesome.

I spent my day off getting caught up this morning on the last two week's episodes.  What do y'all think of the guy who walked up at the end?  He's definitely the guy who left the water: "I'm a friend".  How did he know Rick's name though?  Also, he's way too clean...Dude looks like he's straight out of an Eddie Bauer catalog.

And his emerging from the woods was pretty spot-on to the books, aside from the characters he came out to.

They have stated in interviews that the Morgan scene takes place 'Months after' the other events in that episode. As you can tell by the vines growing over the Terminus sign. They've also said that they have 'big plans' for Morgan. We'll see him again.

thought the direction from Darabont was great... wait,,, he got fired back in season 1? but he did this ep? i dunno.

anyway... good ep, but im not sure how many tornados youd actually see around Row jims town.

Darabont get's credited as a writer/created by every episode but actually hasn't work on the show in years. Just as Tony Moore is credited on the show and the comics, but he only drew the first six issues.

right on.
i know they'd been rotating directors for each episode since like season 2, and i thought i saw his name specifically credited as the director for that episode. i probably just misinterpreted the credits or something.

SO, last night was fantastic!
i'm super on edge to see what all happens in Alexandria.

Well I have no idea what to expect here other than since it is TWD & is on TV that something dramatic happens.  Either the town is perfect and they go under attack or they are a bunch of weirdos...  Maybe a character will return from previous seasons.  where the fuck is Morgan? is he going to save them.

Darabont's departure was less than friendly and not entirely mutual. He bailed after they refused him the ginormous budget he requested. They then subsequently killed off several of the actors who took the job strictly because their friend Frank was the show runner. That's why Dale's run ended so early.
That said, Darabont appears in the credits each week as "Developed By Frank Darabont" which is a nice way of acknowledging that he got it to television but isn't remotely involved at this time.


---

Good episode this week. Don't know about that road they were on with the view of the Washington Monument, though. I LOL'd at that. Also the apparent wilderness that seems to surround DC and "Alexandria". They handled it with more accuracy in the comics but that's I'll I say about the comics.

Looking forward to seeing how this shakes out.

New walking dead spin-off will be coming late this summer.  Reportedly takes place in Los Angeles and chronicles what went down in the very beginning of the outbreak of zombies.

I personally think it will be really cool, as Robert Kirkman co-wrote the pilot and will be executive producing the spin-off.

This week was good. Even though they were pretty slow, I really liked the Darryl and Aaron scenes.

The only thing that bothered me was that last scene where Rick grabbed for his gun both while watching Jessie and her husband walking and then when he hears the walker outside the wall. He was wearing his gun on his hip in it's holster, yet he reached for the gun tucked into his waist that he was supposed to be hiding. Why not just reach for the gun that he's wearing in plain sight instead of the one that is supposed to be a secret?

Busy work week and we just watched this weeks episode last night, great episode, but definitely the most gratuitous in a while. Both Aidan and Noah's deaths were extra gory.

In the scenes from next weeks episode they showed four graves, I'm wondering who the extra two were for? There's Noah, Aidan, possibly Tara and then who? The drunken wife-beater? Father Gabriel (I know I'd kill him after that)?

some people were theorizing it was M upside down for Morgan.
that doesnt make any sense though.
i thought i heard it was something from teh books about the "Wolves". i dunno since i don't read them, but in the show i thought there was something written on a wall @ noah's about wolves are coming or something like that.

glad the finale is 90 minutes.
should be pretty good.
they have 1 surprise cast member next week on the after show, so i'm assuming we'll have a major death.

There are no 'Wolves' in the book, but they could be renaming one of the groups from the book. One group that comes to mind is led by a guy who is f@#king vulgar as f@#k.  :evil:

I don't know if you are being serious or not... If you are then: merc' when used as a verb means to kill as in short for mercenary.

'murk' or 'murc' is slang for the verb 'murder' in hip hop culture.
'merc' is a common abreviation for  the noun  'mercenary'.

Yes, it actually bugs the shit out of me. If I recall correctly, in the comics the settings was more urban as well like maybe Del Ray or something instead of Mount Vernon.

Putting a pretty fine point on it, yeah? Where do they shoot, does anyone know?

About the town, doesn't the story explain it away? The compound is supposed to have been a brand-new planned village, mostly empty but nearly completed, right around the outbreak--figures it would be on previously undeveloped land an exit or two away from old town Alexandria.

You guys know the area way better than I do--what looks wrong?

I do remember that in the book the immediate area around the compound is more developed, like barnesy said--paved streets & some multi-level buildings, etc.

eta: I love the dark turn from Rick & especially Carol the last couple of episodes.

Despite being set in Alexandria, the show is still filmed in Georgia. I met a few guys from the crew a couple weeks ago at the Westin and they were talking about the winter weather they had down there this year.

There really isn't any undeveloped land near Alexandria. Aside from Huntley Meadows Park and Fort Belvoir, you have to get a good bit of driving away from town to get to anything like that. This is why I proposed Leesburg.
When they are going to Alexandria, "Halfway there", as Abraham noticed the bad battery but announces they're gonna make it anyway, they are seeing D.C. from the SouthEast. That road/view does not really exist but, I can put that aside. To even see the Washington Monument like that, they've actually left Alexandria already and are in Arlington. But there's no woods to speak of until they pass Rosslyn. Then they probably trucked it up along the Potomac a bit more to a place like Leesburg where there could be a community that is close to stuff yet isolated by that much undeveloped land. There's nothing stated that the current residents didn't name this haven of their Alexandria after the shit went down.

Or we could try and ignore the failing facts and enjoy the show... It's tough at moments but, I'm trying.

zactly.
glad to know its not just me.

TBH i was already sorta bummed they used some random suburb as "Richmond".
The "insulated, self-suficient, Bizarro-Alexandria" just seems a bit lazy to me.

Regardless, i'm sorta torn on this season.
there's alot riding on this finale.



on a side note i saw the hipster from Terminus on another show last night.
he was playing a hipster, lol.

I don't think that the town action was especially a"annoying" in this past episode.
The reality here is that this show, like the book, is ultimately about the people.
If all they did was wander around and find themselves pinned down by a mess of zombies every half hour, that'd get old pretty fast too.

I'm not saying that there won't be some hot zombie splatter but the plot is driven by the people and their interactions so...


Let's look at the loose ends, shall we?

Rick is teetering on the edge of dangling just beyond it.
The guy he beat up, the doctor, let's call him DrinkyPete, shall we? DrinkyPete cannot hide from his situation but Rick didn't exactly help.
Maggie heard that shit that Gabriel was laying down to the boss-lady, Deanna.
Glen has an enemy, with a gun...

Deanna has some thinking' to do.

Also, let's not forget that Carl is like THIS CLOSE to touching a boob.

Meanwhile Tara, who is clearly taking on some of Andrea's plotlines from the comic, is sharpshooting her was to nirvana or insanity or some shit up there in the tower. Not gonna lie, i tight for a second she was gonna snipe DrinkyPete when he was on top of Rick. You know that shit would have been awesome.

And then there's Daryl and Aaron hot on the trail of someone out in the wild who makes campfires, slaughters people and turns them into walkers after carving a 'W' other heads. That's not in the book, people, we're in unknown territory with that shit.


So what I'm saying is, there's a lot to tie up with some meat left for cliffhanger action too. This sin't argument farm.

Also, Morgan is still out there somewhere.

my 'annoying' comment was directed at them leaving the 'W' mystery unresolved until next season. hopefully they give us at least a bit of a reveal Sunday. kinda surprised that I haven't hated the Alexandria drama, the writers have done well with it imo

def calling him DrinkyPete from now on

*FYP

absolutely.

i say the writing is pretty top notch overall. i agree 1000% that just running around killing zombies every week like a video game would be lame.
Some of the characters in this show hAve the most in depth development i can ever recall in a tv show.
we all have raised our expectations so very high for this show, and TBH this season has had some amazing moments.
I feel Sasha's storyline especially is great right now. writing & acting.



5 seasons already on a very busy filming schedule.
this is why a spin off could actually make sense considering the demand for this show at the quality we now expect.

Oops... Sasha.

Tara is sidelined for now.

I get the potential frustration regarding the "W" thing but I'm sure they'll give us something more to go on. They developed it a little this past week.

I prefer a patient approach to these things, generally. My wife has roped me into Downton Abbey and those guys seem allergic to allowing a plot line time to spread out. it's always new drama > fretting > tea > servant's whisper about drama > resolution > servants relief about resolution...

And yeah, I think the LA show will give us some fun stuff to dig our teeth into that should be quite different from the primary show. I am worried that they'll spend too much time with the obvious slate of hollywood cameos. Seems like a lock that Chris Hardwick will be among a pack of walkers.

I prefer a patient approach to these things, generally. My wife has roped me into Downton Abbey and those guys seem allergic to allowing a plot line time to spread out. it's always new drama > fretting > tea > servant's whisper about drama > resolution > servants relief about resolution...

And yeah, I think the LA show will give us some fun stuff to dig our teeth into that should be quite different from the primary show. I am worried that they'll spend too much time with the obvious slate of hollywood cameos. Seems like a lock that Chris Hardwick will be among a pack of walkers.

I'm actually wondering if they're going to have a Talking Cobalt for the new show (Cobalt is the working title of the new show BTW)

Funny thing about that is that there are rumors floating around that Darryl is gay already.

I completely discount any suggestion that Daryl is anyone but Daryl. Not to say that he isn't gay, it simply hasn't mattered enough to explore onscreen.

Future book-based characters will come when their time is up. There are so many things wrong with the suggestion above that I encourage you to delete it so I won't have it to throw in your face a year from now.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: mistercharlie on March 27, 2015, 03:35:50 PM
The statement has been removed for fear of future shaming. However even if Darryl is no one but Darryl, Sasha is currently Andrea (in a way), so anything can happen.

i am thinking there could be a major cast death tonight.
there is a 'surprise' guest on the after show...

i was sort of surprised this year when i realized how much of the group was composed by season 1 people.
it's a pretty big 'core' if you think about it.
Rick
Carl
Carol
Daryl
Glenn

just seemed interesting considering Maggie is the only person left from season 2 (unless you count Michone who shows up at the very end).

However, none of the storylines neccesarily feel like theyve come to a close.
Maybe Carol...  :|

"Fear the Walking Dead" is its name.  Pretty lame, IMO.

Anyhow, I thought the finale was pretty solid.  Definitely good to see Morgan again -- dude clearly went to ninja school since we last saw him!  Rick has one hell of a job ahead of him with the Alexandrians...he's gotta whip them into shape real quick like.  Something tells me they're gonna have to fight off The Wolves and their truck loads of night club walkers fairly soon.

Great episode. Some tense stuff happening and a few people still breathing that oughtn't be (Gabriel and Nicholas), but I'm already aching for the next season.

Now there's going to be some conflict between Morgan and Rick next season. Since Morgan finds every life precious and he just walked into Alexandria and the first thing he sees is Rick blowing someones head off.

Despite the poor choice of name for the spin-off, I'm looking forward to it and think it'll help to fill the walker-less lumps of time we have in life.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: rowjimmy on March 31, 2015, 08:19:06 AM
Carol's "performance" with these Alexandria people is amazing.
Rick is a crazy motherfucker.

Too bad that Morgan has been through hell and come back a bodhisattva whereas Rick has sunk deeper and deeper into crazy town. Rick was still out to snacks when they arrived in Alexandria in the comic too.

Glenn is badass and the fact that he didn't kill that goon is just proof that A) he's better than that dick (duh) and B) he's got his shit way tighter than Rick.

Father Gabe is going on the shit list for a while, I suspect.

The Wolves should be fun...

I could have watched another hour of that shit.

Can't believe it's over already.

does this mean reg Walkin dead series will be further apart or just once a year?
i was thinking maybe they did this all to up the production value of the orig series, taking more time and resources.
the scale really could us an upgrade.
should be interesting to see  how this all plays out.

ZOMBIES ON A PLANE!!!

AMC have announced that there will be a half-hour stand alone story about a walker attack on a plane that will introduce a character that will come into Fear The Walking Dead in Season 2.

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/28/walking-dead-airline

QuoteHere's the plan: EW has exclusively learned AMC is producing a half-hour special that will tell a stand-alone story following a group of passengers facing a walker attack on an airline while in flight. One character who survives that encounter will then join the cast of Fear the Walking Dead in season 2. So, yes: Zombies on a Plane.

Gonna need some strong changes in the writing dept to fix this for next season (which AMC has already ordered.)

Thing is, I like the setting and the view of the immediate response but I'm not compelled by any of it.

The only one I really want to see survive is the junkie kid because I imagine his path would be compelling if the govt doesn't off him directly.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: VA $l!m on October 06, 2015, 08:10:49 PM
watching marathon leading up to season 6.
in season 2 tonite, just caught something i never noticed before.
-Before Shane shoots Otis and sacrifices him to get away, in the scene before Shane actually offered the bags with the medical supplies to OTis to get away with, suggesting he could leave him behind, but otis didnt want to do it.
i never realized this, but it changes alot of how i view Shane. HE didnt just sacrifice OTis until leaft with no other option i-ncluding OTis being the one to make it,  to make sure Car got the stuff to survive.

on a side note, i think we should make odds on the main characters survival this season. it seems many of them, especially Rick, are pretty much  impossible to off at this point without the show taking a major risk of losing steam. Rick dying anytime soon has to be well over 1000:1  imo. & Daryl isn't far behind.

pretty much confirmed by the producers in all the interviews ive seen. going to be non stop , very intense.
also, still buggin me about the location. rock quarry in alexandria? is there seriously that muc forrest even anywhere near alexandria? isnt it ALL urban?... i just gotta let it go i guess, lol. otherwise im pumped for this year.

I didn't watch the Talking Dead or any of the previews for next week, but I immediately thought it was the Wolves blowing that siren. But my mom reminded me of that little shit whose father Rick killed, so it could very well be him trying to fuck things up for Rick and make him look bad.

Either way, I thought it was a good episode and a great setup for whatever is coming next. Psyched for next week.

They didn't show Glenn actually dying. Pretty sure that was Nicholas they were chomping on.

Just saying.
yeah, but it seems like its a fairly sure bet he's going to die.
in the aftershow Gimple sent a letter saying things would be resolved and we hadnt seen teh last of glenn, that some 'part' or 'version' of him will showing up.
im guessing he makes some move to get under the dumpster or whatever and survives half eaten or something until someone shows up for some final dialog or something.
who knows. pretty sure hes a gonner though. i doubt theyd completely set up some bs senario where he survives completely after that much of a scene.

BTW, next week 90 min episode lookin sweet.
Trailer showed Morgan in his 'clear; days. i'm guessing they do some backstory to fill in how he got from there to his current state of mind.

I'm thinking that he will appear in a flashback scene of just before they left Alexandria and Maggie tells him that she is pregnant, which will make his death even more upsetting.

I think Glen is dead and the Maggie being pregnant thing is probably spot on, good thinking.  It might not have shown Glen clearly being the one who got eaten but he definitely fell off the dumpster and smashed his head on the concrete.  I went back and re-watched it too.  It looks like Glen being eaten.

That episode was intense!!  I'm interested to find out more about Morgan's relationship with the Wolves.

He met some of them last season, if you don't remember, specifically the guy in the house who he may or may not have killed..

Damn, I don't remember this at all. I need to re-watch some of the episodes from last season.

The fact that they didn't even mention Glenn dying in the "Inside The Walking Dead" short tells me that his story isn't quite done.

I'd much rather see him go out the way he did in the comics (spoilers!) than like this.

So I hadn't been able to watch for a few weeks (the wife's grandfather died and she said we had to wait). Today I binge watched the last three episodes... Holy Shit!!

I still have faith that Glen will be under that dumpster and that was Nicholas's guts getting eaten, but maybe not.

That Morgan episode was cool too. I like how this episode has been dealing with 'Then and Now' types of things.

That is actually one of the things I really have been hoping wouldn't make it into the show. Just like I was glad that The Governor didn't get to rape and torture Michonne. Those were the two most cringe-worthy scenes in the books.

Post by: VA $l!m on November 10, 2015, 02:55:28 PM
this was the episode where each season i realize how short these half seasons are. only 3 left?!?!! ahhhh!!!!

anyway, has anyone else heard the theory that Enid is a wolf and she kidnapped Judith?
it would seem wrong since Rick was around all last episode in Alexandira and you would think the 1st thing he would do is check on her, but she hasnt been seen since the wolf attack when Enid left.
Though i would think something is going on there since we saw the wolves had taken baby food when they attacked Rick in the RV...

should be  a killer last 3 for sure after 2 slow down eps in a row.

glenns dead. bank it. the note from gimple saying a "piece" of him would show up was refering to the baby.

and as far as the rick rv situation, i didnt really see anything missing or worng with how they played it.
zombies were approaching, obviously he ran for it, and then we see him at the beginning of last episdoe out running the herd.

Glenn isn't dead until they mourn him on and offscreen.
A major character dating back to day one of the show will get a bigger send off.

Not saying we'll see him alive but I'm waiting for the closure we deserve before I write him off.

well, guess ii was successful in jinxing GLenn's survival..   i love Glenn, but TBH i feel sorta jipped.
hopefully this is just a setup to really kill off someone later this season. i really think its time we see a big name go.

otherwise im toen on this season. its sorta pittered out the last few EPs imo, but should be pretty good mid season finale next week.
im wondering if the obvious incoing feul truck and RPGs with Abraham is going to be as telegraphed a solution for the herd as it seems.

When Dwight, in the books, shows up with the crossbow, tons of folks in the letters section asked if he was being written in to compensate for the absence of Daryl in the books.

-Neegan
-abrham/sasharosalita love triangle
-maggies baby
-carl vs ricks new girlfiend son
-morgan v carol!

...alot of unresolved issues for sure.
also, im really hoping we get a major cast death after the whole Glenn BS. -hoping that was just a setup to gauge the fan reaction or somethin.  :samurai:

In between the mid-season finale and this mid-season opener I decided to take up the comics and blasted through a ton of it.  I went a bit beyond where the group is at now and wasn't sure if I should do so, obviously because of spoiler potential.  It seemed that so much of the prior TV episodes deviated so far from the comics that it would be worth it, since I'd still be guessing whether they'd stick or stray.  But now seeing the first episode since I started reading the comics, I can definitely say that I did not enjoy last night's episode nearly as much as I should have, because I knew what was going to happen.  Especially when I hear all of the audience response saying how it was one of the best episodes ever.  Not that I didn't enjoy it.  It was still very cool.  Live and learn, but I'm done reading the comics.

Yeah, I stopped reading the comics for the same reason.  I believe #98 was the last one I read.  I think by the end of this season the show should be caught up to about where I'm at.  So next year I can maybe watch it totally fresh.

It's pretty clear.
Redhead chick, said that she was the timid scared chick that Carol was portraying but she's moved past it, become something stronger. But really Carol has, in fact, long since become what that redhead claimed to be: a cold, effective killer. So much so that Carol doesn't want to be that. It scares her. She worries that she can't go back.
But, when it comes down to defending the baby, she'll do it.

Very well put, RJ.  I was aware of the self-reflection, it started after the incident in house with Morgan and the Wolf character, but was thrown off by the hyperventilating and inability to kill some of Neegan's people.  However, it makes sense now that you bring up her fear of becoming somebody/something that she doesn't want to be, I didn't think of that aspect.  I was also thrown off when my  :smoke: friend calls me after the episode praising Carol and how it was all an act. He made me question Carol's actions because I did not think they were an act, but a sign of weakness/fright/etc.

It was part act and part real. Carol is still the bad-ass Carol we've grown to know but she's really begun to embrace 'Cookies and Cardigans Carol'. So much so that she is torn between the two (the bad-ass or homemaker that is, not the cookies or the cardigans).

She's been a killer for awhile now, and it was only towards the end of the episode where her 'feelings' came into play

I don't think so.  Why would she be making a list, counting the number of people she killed?  And also the conversation that she and Morgan had about her not telling anyone else about the captive Wolf which made her an accessory...I think she's torn.

I think she's going through some legit soul-searching absolutely, but I also think her hyperventilation was intentional: to get the gag off, put up the "scared weakling" act, and gauge how serious the Neegan jackoffs were.

Good episode.  It's too bad Daryl had to reunite with his crossbow in such a way.  :|  (I hope Tara got her soda.)

There's no way this is the last we see of Carol.  My money is on her getting caught by Neagan's peeps.  Either she'll meet her end because of it, or she'll witness something that makes her rethink her morals and we'll get "old Carol" back for the time being.

Also, way to go, Eugene!  Dude ate a dick for the team!   :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

We have to wait a whole six months to find out who got kissed by Lucile!?!?! My guess is Abraham, Darryl or Glen. Could be Eugene also. All we know for sure is that it's not Rick or Carl. Damn, I hate cliffhangers.

never posted after the last season finale, but i really enjoyed  it. one of the best eps i think of the series.G
overall a really solid half season. one of my favs. the scipting and overarching storytelling was some of most cohesive i think we've seen.

p.s.  - was pretty disappointed by 'Fear's' 2nd, or 2nd half of season- whatever it was. started out pretty solid then the train went compeltely off the tracks.
directing and scripting was attrocious. ill still prob watch the restof it thats coming out in a week or so, but man they better tighten it up.

2 outta 3 not bad, epsecially since i dont read the comics.
i was pretty sure it was gonna be Abraham His story arc had just really come full circle and his happiness with Sasha was the final nail. Also i felt the dynamic between Sasha and Rosalita would hold the most potential post death.
Glenn, well the whole psych out fake death early in season 6 just seemed like a big setup, and then the baby on the way allowing story points post death... but i guess the comic readers knew all along.

Anyway, great episode. fantastic drama  for the most part. I'm real happy with the reset for the future of the series. Looks like we got many years of story yet to be told.

Not for nothing, if you've read the comics you know how much of a badass Negan can be and how this ended. It's interesting, though, to see people's reactions and how they wove his character into the TV storyline.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: gainesvillegreen on October 24, 2016, 08:37:06 PM
Negan may be badass, but he talks way too fucking much, and says hardly anything. The (TV) writers had an orgy of monologue with this character last night which was tiresome and second rate. I hope he has a larger fingerprint than The Govenor in this series, but at 1/3 the syllable count on show in the premiere.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: rowjimmy on October 25, 2016, 09:43:48 AM
Bad news, gg.
Negan likes the sound of his own voice.
FYI, all of his speeches were filmed twice. Once for television, once for blu-ray. The latter is way heavier on the profanity.

Disgusting episode.
My wife says she's quitting the show.
I don't think they'll sustain this level of violence though:

I think JDM nailed the character though. Maybe badass isn't the proper term, but yes he does love to hear himself talk.

I've always liked him as an actor, he was great in a limited role as the Comedian in the Watchmen too.

Bad news, gg.
Negan likes the sound of his own voice.
FYI, all of his speeches were filmed twice. Once for television, once for blu-ray. The latter is way heavier on the profanity.

Disgusting episode.
My wife says she's quitting the show.
I don't think they'll sustain this level of violence though:

Not that life is going to get easier anytime soon.

I think JDM nailed the character though. Maybe badass isn't the proper term, but yes he does love to hear himself talk.

I've always liked him as an actor, he was great in a limited role as the Comedian in the Watchmen too.

He was good as the Comedian and I agree he's great as Negan.

agreed.

& FWIW the entire point of the episode was that noone else couldl talk except NEgan. I mean, literally talking meant you could get someone killed, lol.

Personally i thought the entire dialogue was wonderfully written. I didnt think there were any empty lines at all. Every word from Negan was developed to show his ego and power while breaking down the group and most importnalty Rick into submission.
Call me a fanboy but i bought it. TBH i thought it was near perfect. The only thing i kept thinking was that he waS saying 'shit' alot b/c they cant use  a bunch of  F bombs to balance it out as would have  made it more natural.

LAstly, i'm sorta surprised at any of the negative reaction to the violence... i mean honestly the show had gotten pretty soft the last few years and i think it really needed it to recharge the vibe back to where they started. I think ithis is  exactly where the show should be displaying the extreme drama of human desperation and depravity while pushing the basic cable tv envelope.

People have limits. I'm not opposing the show or how far they went but I know people who can't watch that and would prefer not to see two heads graphically smashed in. Even the producers acknowledge that it was gratuitous, even if there was a purpose to it.

It's not pleasant and, at some point you may have to decide if that outweighs the entertainment.

i'm not watching the walking dead for pleasantries personally. that's all i'm saying.

and dont take this the wrong way, im  just trying to have a discussion here, but isn't 'gratuitous' by definition going beyond having a purpose?

I think if it was just the Abraham scene noone would have anything to say, but most of the disgust results from GLenn's scene.
Even considering both scenes the total amount of gore might amount to two or 3 minutes worth of footage.

IF we're suggesting its the quality of the gore and not the quantity, then again isn't this the Walking Dead? The same show where the Michone stabbed the Govenor in the eye with a shard of glass and the Termites had racks of humans drying in a slaughterhouse aging for consumation?
This was an especially visual brutal few minutes with the explicit purpose of galvanizing the group  going forward through the death  of the most important characters of the entire series.
I think they portrayed it exactly how it needed to be portrayed without censoring or minimalizing the artistic impact of the scene.

IF I'm talking 'gratuitous' then I'd be more inclined to talk about every other episode of Game of Thrones. I mean showing me the wart on that guys cock doesnt exactly do anything to develope the story.

I think alot of the backlash i've been hearing around actually lies in the fact that many casual or new fans saw this episode.
My physical therapist had a similar experience where he got his wife to watch it after seeing the 'up to now' catch up show.
He said she won't be watching it again either.
I  think the producers were most likely quite aware that the cliffhanger hype this summer was going to bring new people in and so they really needed to reset the original tone of the series.
PErsonally i feel It was perfect timing and brilliant execution (no pun inteneded).
IMO the show had goten pretty stale and soft the last few years and i wasnt really believing the reality as much as the first few seasons.

Originally this show pushed the envelope of cable tv. Thats what made it special.
Whether or not TV  should be serving up  violence, warranted or not, seems like a bridge we all passed in regards to this show 7 years ago.
Sounds like buyer's remorse to me.
Trust me, 99% of cable tv will protect you from feeling uncomfortable if that's what your looking for.

Watching made me uncomfortable, but so did reading it. I knew it was coming and it was cringworthy but it's not going to make me stop watching the show. Negan is a mother fuckin' fuck of a fuck, and I know he'll make for interestingly edgy tv.

i dont think anyone was centering the discussion around your personal opinion. in fact you said you werent 'opposed to it'.
maybe you bringing it up was a jumping off point but like i said before i heard similar reactions from alot of soruces.

obviously if theres something in the show that makes people considering to stop watching then i'd say that warrants more discussion than the last hundred pages of this thread.
i cant think of anything more controversial in the entire series.
the closest thing i can think of is when they introduced the  Termites.
that episode definitely bothered me alot more than this one.
and still nothing comes close for me to season 1 when the zombies attacked the camp and Andreas sister got bit. that episode has always sticked with me just cause it was the first real tension filled moment that made me cringe.

the real discussion here i think, outside of tv standards in general which really has been beaten to death, is how by season 7 i know personally i am completely desensitized to the zombie affect.
thats the crux of this biscuit i think.
i'd say season 3 was the last time i didnt just think of the zombies as a backdrop. the producers in fact said as much starting around s4 that the 'real' threat was people not the dead.
...and therin lies the issue. the show has ridden on this premise for the last few years but it really gets itself bogged down by it when they cant actually be as expressive with human v human violence as human v zombie violence.
again , this is nonsense because it is all fiction.
its like if people got upset b/c they showed someone getting raped on the show but then everyone was fine with them showing a  zombie being raped...

My wife called it quits on the show in the first few episodes of season 6. So I don't blame anyone for not wanting to watch anymore. Things get pretty gruesome from here on out, but that episode is kind of the apex of grotesqueness, just like Issue 100 of the books was their apex of grotesqueness.

Well, that is unfortunate. I didn't mind the violence whatsoever, and it IS time to churn some of these characters, and I can be accused of thumbs-upping banal violence but getting in a tiff about dialogue, and yet...

Just some substance, that's all I want...I'll be watching Sunday, that much is for sure. Let's see where this goes.

On one hand, I kind of understand the bashing-in of the humans heads being a bit too much for someone, but to call it quits? You watch 6 seasons of a gore-filled show about zombies with almost endless grotesque scenes (it's supposed to be like that, btw), but then give up after all that bc someone gets their head caved in?

I just don't get it. What did you expect from a show like this?

Like I said, I totally understand someone not wanting to watch it, but if thats enough for someone to stop watching the show for good on the spot like that, after already watching 6 seasons of gore, you would think they never would have watched it to begin with....

TBH i think you're being a little harsh, and i gotta back lifeboy up a bit.
  I don't see it that way at all, and i'm pretty much a pacifist.
not to beat a dead horse here, but this is a TV show. it is art. It is fiction. none of it is real. so zombie, human, alien, whathaveyou...we are viewing something that IS NOT REAL.
qualifiying zombie violence vs human violence is only relevant if we are comapraing them on the premise that zombies ARE real, IE within the fiction of the  show.

To play devil's advocate to your quip I'd say if YOu can't detach fiction from reality than... maybe you need perspective.
Like i said already, scenes like Noah getting his face eaten off were much more disturbing to me.
OF course if i was walking down the street in real life and i saw someone getting their head bashed in by another person it would be horrible, but TBH if i saw my friend gettin ghis face eaten off it would be worse...but that wouldnt happen BECAUSE it was real life, NOT TV,
thats all i got, i cant think of any other way of explaining this point.

so, Fear the Waling DEad just had their season finale and i gotta say this season was really really good after the first 2 seasons were pretty meh.
not sure exactly but i think they brought over s. Gimple to produce and it defintiely had more of an authentic Waling Dead feel.
In fact it probably is more of the old school w. Dead vibe i prefer to whatever the current cheesy over the top thing we have now in the original series.
I honestly thought last season pretty much jumped teh shark after the 1st episode and im sorta nervous about this season being even decent after seeing th promos.
guess ill see next week.

so i guess its the end of an era. Andrew Lincoln announces he's leaving... before his last season. weird. shoudl be interesting to see how they deal with it.

honestly i still watch the show just cause i have nothing better to do on Sundays, but i really havent enjoyed the show since Glenns' last episode 2 years ago or whatev.
On the other hand FEAR TWD has continually improved and this season they completed rebooted with new writters that really stepped it up.  They brought in Morgan from TWD and a bunch of new actors including Jenna Elfman who i love. the first episodes sicne th reboot were really good and took more of an OG TWD approach with the grimey visual filtering. Im pretty excited for this next half season nwo that they got through some of the weird transition of ditching actors and refreshing the story.

K, real quick i just gotta say this new season, #9 of TWD is really good so far.
the last 2 seasons flat out sucked IMHO and i thought the show had officially jumped the shark when they announced Andrew Lincoln was leaving, BUT they got rid of Scott Gimple as head writer and the new chick completely made a conscioous effort to make it like th e'old' walking dead- like with actual zombies and a heavily character driven story with intrigue... and i love it.

and then a 3 year(?) time jump for a complete reboot?!! noice.

and to top it off apparently they are EXPANDing  TWD universe and making a bunch of side projects starting with RIck Grimes full length feature films on AMC... so yeah, not what i expected, but cool.
im excited to see RIck Grimes in high budget action.  :samurai:  new actor or A Lincoln? IDK

yeah its been pretty shit, though honestly when they changed producers or w/e a year or two ago it sorta got things back on track decently and rounded out about as good as it could.

and now...
3 new series coming next year, lol.
Daryl spin off, Rick and Michonne spinoff, and some other new series.
Though i'm speculating most if not all of these are going to be for their streaming service and not on cable so they can jumpstart their service since TWD is really the only draw they have with a still huge following.

Quote from: VA $l!m on November 20, 2022, 09:07:51 PM12 years later is finally ends
probably 6 years to late, but i made it!
I stopped watching it 6 years ago. I honestly didn't know it was still going.
yeah its been pretty shit, though honestly when they changed producers or w/e a year or two ago it sorta got things back on track decently and rounded out about as good as it could.

and now...
3 new series coming next year, lol.
Daryl spin off, Rick and Michonne spinoff, and some other new series.
Though i'm speculating most if not all of these are going to be for their streaming service and not on cable so they can jumpstart their service since TWD is really the only draw they have with a still huge following.
The Breaking Bad/BCS universe is pretty sweet too, but now that BCS wrapped-up. I don't know if they have anything else planned.

My wife and I had the whole "Well, we've watched it this long, might as well keep going" thing going on.  But every season has dragged on longer and longer.  I just wished they all would've died.  That would've been the best ending.  Happy to be done with it.  Finally

My son started watching last Summer. Started at the beginning and stopped on the ep before Glenn died.
Basically, my wife and I refused to watch that so with him and he could tell we were so upset about what was coming up that he didn't carry on.

Not a bad show up to there.
On our original viewings, we watched until Rick left.
