I really enjoyed the first episode....
Fantastic FX/makeup - Nicotero is phenomenal.
It just kinda turned into a regular TV show with zombies.
I was a bit let down with the final two episodes of this season. I mean... it doesn't get more michael bay than that explosion.
It's better than most of the shit on television these days.
It is my favorite show on TV right now. It sucks that we only got six episodes in the first season. Word on the street is that the next season will run 13 episodes, but won't run until Fall 2011.
Yeah, they could have turned the cheese factor down on that CDC explosion. The graphics in that sequence were fairly shitty, too.
I really hope they stick more to the comic in the coming season. The weakest parts of the show so far are when they deviate from the book. Case in point: the whole CDC thing was pretty damn stupid, as was that encounter with the caretaking gangsters - neither storyline was in the comic.
Yeah, the 1st episode was a tease. It seemed way better than it is.
A boring show with zombie subject matter... Not even a zombie show.
I'll admit that I know nothing about the comic. I still like the show I just thought I was going to like it more.
I said it in the old thread and I'll say it again: the comic is about the interactions of a bunch of people set in a zombie-infested world. the zombies themselves are secondary really. there are issues and even series of issues where you don't see a single zombie.
That being said, I kind of doubt the TV series is going to get close to the comic's portrayal of the individual characters' depth and development. Or even be able to convey the general bleakness of the comic for that matter.
But I'll still watch it when it returns next fall.
The problem with that is the interactions between the characters are terrible. If the zombies are going to be secondary at least make me care about the characters
Can't say I disagree with that. Up till now only the Shane character has been slightly interesting, and maybe the Dr. Jenner character.
I think the TV series is still not quite sure what it's supposed to be.
Yeah they're probably doing some stupid market research before they figure out what to do....
I really got a bad taste with the Gangster Hospital part and the CDC thing was just plain stupid. Oh well.
I hope they figure out that those parts were terrible. I don't mind not seeing any zombies, but most of the characters suck. I'm not giving up on the show, but I am not expecting much anymore.
Didn't the comic tell the stories of different characters not establish a group that was followed through the whole series? Which I think could work on a season by season basis, but then you gotta restart every season and if they end up with a cast people connect with, they're not gonna want to risk losing that.
The core group was pretty much set within the first couple issues. But the comic never shied away from killing off main characters. It'll be interesting to see if the show holds to that.
Never knew it was a comic.
As far as it as a show, I like it alot. Better than anything I have watched in a long time. However i'm no TV whore.

This.
Yeah. I'm no TV junkie, but I will stick with it because, well, zombies rule.
I'm sure for you fella's, it'll only get better. For me, it's perfect so far.
This series started out great and fell right on it's face. The ratings bottomed out and the season finale was a pile of dogshit.
I read somewhere, that all the writers were canned and they brought in all new ones for next year. Can only hope this is true. I watched it, but not with much enthusiasm
Anyone get to catch Dead Set? Now THAT was a great series
Dead Set wasn't all that great.
well, no..I guess it wasnt all that great, but i watched them around the same time, and Dead Set delivered the goods, where the other wasnt
The Horde is pretty good. French zombie film. Watched it a few weeks back
In honor of zombie day we're checking out the first season. The first episode is right now, with dude in the hospital.
ooo scary.
but, in the first 20m they already gave the show an end?
by that I mean, guy wakes up in the hospital after weeks and some weird zombie stuff happens?
I dunno, maybe it's a lost ending.
It's all downhill from there.

Noooooooooooo. Hahaha.

I actually really liked the last one.
I look forward to the 2nd season.
here you go, the first link is old news now..but here's some clues for the upcoming season
http://tv.ign.com/articles/113/1137550p1.html
* Filming is aimed to begin in May with an October debut.
* Apparently the survivors will attempt to take shelter in a prison.
* Despite changes in the first season's storyline to the comic, apparently they will go back to the source material for this season.
*Writer/producer Frank Darabont is inviting the actors into the writer's room to pitch possible ideas for the new season.
*There will be no big time difference from season one to the beginning of season two. Season one ended with the cast fleeing the exploding CDC building in Atlanta. The new season will begin shortly after this explosion.
*They're hinting that Lori may be pregnant in the new season, causing more drama and friction between the Rick-Lori-Shane love triangle.
*Expect key characters to die, while new ones emerge.
*Lastly, don't expect an explanation to the zombie outbreak. "I don't know if we'll ever tell people how the zombies came about. I don't think it's important to the story which is about characters. When you delve into where they come from it delves into science fiction. It's not realistic for these characters to find out how this global problem came about. These are every day people dealing with these problems," says Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman.
Sounds promising.
These are every day people dealing with these problems,
this is exactly why I lost interest in the series, and I've only seen the first four episodes. they don't sell anything remotely common to everyday people. Lemme splain: guy wakes up to zombie apocalypse, loses wife and kid, goes to zombie central, his horse get's eaten, get's out of zombie central, finds wife and kid, decides to go back to zombie central to save an asshole racist dirtball.
there's not a father (or human FTM) on this planet that would do that.
And what the hell do the survivors do? Sit around the campfire, do laundry, get into fist fights, look for fuel and food, try to contact other survivors and have sex. I'd be endurance training like a mother fucker. I mean running a 2 minute mile while doing that street acrobat shit.
And why the hell are they concerned about ammo? That's considered a luxury in the post zombie apocalypse. I'd be training with swords, pikes, halberds, axes... all while doing my 83 second mile in full acrobatic style.
one thing that is good about the series is they don't have fast zombies; they have the zombie lunge, but they aren't Olympians.
I get tired of "noble" people on these shows. I may be a coward, but I bet I'd last a lot longer than the "heroes".
Twice the episodes at half the budget from last year.
Fired Frank Darabont.
The trailer I saw for Season 2 actually looked pretty good. I already thought I'd probably give it a chance even though I thought everything but the first couple of episodes sucked.

I thought he quit in a rage over getting his budget halved so AMC couple pay the Mad Men creator a huge bonus for a lower rated show. Walking Dead was their best ranked show by far just when I thought AMC might be becoming a cool network they go retarded. Mad Men got old.
AMC is fucking up royal.
They screwed with Breaking Bad as well.
The Walking Dead better be good. Why they would cut the budget in half goes beyond me. One of the only shows I actually followed on TV.
We'll see in oct if the new season delivers. I dig the show but understand y'alls criticisms. I'm kind of indifferent about it. if it sucks i'll just walk away from the show.
I saw the previews for next week / Season 2.
I realized why I ain't all that excited aboot it this time around.
I don't like any of the characters.
That's a problem.

I liked the black dude that was tearing shit up with the sheriff in those first couple episodes. Then he disappeared from the show when they split up and he went looking for his family.
To many stock characters that fit a formula. Lazy screenwriting.

I'm an avid reader of the comics, and for the most part, they have stayed semi-true. The show has left out some SERIOUS big issues, which pisses me off. If you notice the tension between Rick and Shane, that's a MAJOR part of the comic that they don't really convey well enough. Black dude is awesome, and has a really sad story, which is also left out of the show. His name is Morgan, if I remember correctly. I noticed at the end of the season, they started killing off arbitrary characters, ones not in the comic, so I think they may be getting back to the real story line. I can deal with less of a budget, because most of the comic isn't "visual" as it leaves most of the detail up to your mind. So, less of a budget may mean less bullshit CDC explosions, and more raw, gritty, dirty action.
The cholo geriatric care center was also a load of bullshit.
I was pleased with the first season, all this being said, I could have done without all of the bullshit, but I think it'll be alright in the second season.
I liked the first season, and will give the 2nd season a fair chance.

It's kind of the same for me, too. It also looks as if Rick's son get killed at some point during the season, or at least thats what it seemed to me by watching the previews.
I watched the first two episodes of season one and gave up.
Quote from: demon gal on October 11, 2011, 03:17:42 PM

Wish I had, they really were the best ones.
Since I stuck with it to the end waiting for something good to happen I pretty much have to at least check this season out.
Writers, could there be one character I could give a shit about please? Is that too much to ask?
PS: Besides killing zombies I'd be fucking that blonde chick that wants to kill herself.
The characters still don't quite sell it. Caving in zombie skulls with rocks was good though.
Any time people are talking the show sucks.
I thought when the blonde told the old guy that he took away her choice to die was a pretty good scene.
.....but I was high as a kite.
They have to stop deviating from the book as much. It's almost like Kirkman's doing it on purpose to change things up a bit. It didn't work last season, and I don't see it working this season.
I liked it.
So I have to read the comic/graphic novel to enjoy this? I dont know..if this was thrown together as a movie, it would be a failure.
It moves along too slowly. I get bored to tears with it after the initial zombie interaction. They keep doing that to keep you/me interested I suppose.
Its mediocre, yet again..(so far anyways) and hopefully doesnt circle the drain like it did last year
I thought was really good and exceeded my expectations. Different kicks I suppose...
How the FUCK do you not like Dale? or Daryll (who wasn't in the comic, at all?)
I like to complain mainly because of the hype that surrounds these new wave of series/shows.
After AMC dropped that shit ball The Killing on us last year to fucking rave reviews out of the gate. One or 2 episodes does not make a series. Breaking Bad or Dexter for instance have strong enough writers.
Walking Dead had one great opening episode, and then the 'human interaction' crap took over. I hour episodes should not have 6 minutes of zombie love. I think it's the fact that it's on television perhaps? Maybe thats why? To put it in perspective, if Romero made a 2 hour zombie flick and it had 12 minutes of plodding/uneven zombies and 78 minutes of human feelings/touching stories/ boring interaction it would suck right? Thats where I'm at with it.
And if you have a team of writers they all should be on the same page if they are indeed writing separate episodes. It's written for the masses, I get that..so maybe thats why, it's dumbed down for easy consumption. I just think it's not that great, but I still watch, dont get me wrong..hoping
I don't mind the lack of zombie action, but the way they're doing it isn't really working. The human interaction still feels forced and unnatural. If they were really building these characters up and developing the story I wouldn't mind less zombies. At least then the pacing would make more sense. As it stands now, it is watchable but I'm not really in love with it. It lacks seriousness between character. Not very heartfelt overall.
If any of you'se guys have read the comic, it is also pretty devoid of action. ZOMBIE BASHIN' isn't what it's all about, it's really about living life post-Z Day. There's still some action, don't get me wrong, but it's nothing like you guys were expecting. I think it's staying pretty true to the ideal that Kirkman originally set out to writing his comic with. It's deviated a fair amount from the books, but it still has the same general direction. They've started killing off people that weren't in the book already, if you noticed that hispanic guy and his family bailed, Merle is gone (MAJOR plot hole, if he doesn't reappear.)
Rick is kind of annoying, his "drama" is definitely forced as fuck. Shane's character is DEAD ON (hehe) to the book. Dale, and Andrea's dynamic is developing, Carl's getting more and more rebellious towards his situation, etc. If you notice when they're hiding, he smiles at his dad...
Kirkman approaches his writing with reality in mind. People die. Keep THAT in mind watching the show... If you do read the book sometime, make sure you read him and his editors responses to letters. The dude's a fuckin' genius.
Read the book, you guys will get a real good insight to the show.
Is it a graphic novel? or a series of comic books?
Comics that are also available in Volumes of six.
I heard about a novel that was just released as well. Titled The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor.

I gotta say, this season is much better. The characters are a bit more likable.
Scott Wilson is awesome.

Yeah, actually he does kinda suck.

I agree. To be honest, there isn't one character on the show that i root for and/or really like. I wouldn't care if any of them got killed.
Shane is a motherfucker.
I woulda done the same thing.
I would probably do worse things.
If you are interested in weird experimental rock kinda stuff, you all should check out the Los Angeles based group LIGHTSYSTEM....there's a funny, entertaining, cheesy "b-rated" syle short zombie film for the new single "Another Way To Step"...worth a watch!

you mean to that blonde? ;)
I liked the balance of this episode, but I still don't believe the main character performances. The secondary characters are getting better and I like their storylines better. The old man, blond, and the redneck (Darryl?) are the ones I dig the most.
Rick sucks. And by worse things, who says people have to try to act like before? No rules, no laws. I'd be a raping & killing machine. *
*If I could survive the beginning. I'm not really prepared for the Zombie apocalypse at this time.
^If you think about it, the rapers and killers will be disposed of very quickly. Look at merle, left to rot and cut his own hand off. If some other group saw him, and saw that. they would know something was up. If I was in a group and someone did stuff like that I would either kill them or carve what they did on their forehead and back and banish them to die.
I like everybody. Daryll/Merle weren't in the comics at all.
Shane's a fuckhead, true and true. He's on his way out, methinks, if I know how Kirkman writes...
I'm not sure how the rest of you feel, but I don't like it that the Zombies walk just as fast as the humans do. Even with Shane having a busted ankle(???) and walking quite slow, I just don't think the Zombies should be able to keep up with the pace of the humans.

I'm thankful for moments like that in the show. If they moved any slower the show would just be that much more boring.

My favs aren't even the full sentences - just the "wow" and "woah".
So last night's episode - another case of some good scenes with some crap scenes.
Rankings of who I'd like to see die (in order).
1. Lori
2. The Kid
3. Rick
4. Dale
5. Andrea (even though she is kinda hot).
Shane used to be on the list, but has become interesting since he turned heel.
Next week: Merle!
Yeah, I like Shane now that he's cuckoo for coco puffs.
Maggie is easily the hottest chick on the show.

But Shane "has become interesting since he turned heel."
I'm glad he didn't die - but at the same time, it would've been awesome.
Glad to see Merle return in this episode.
I agree, Darryl is the only character I dig. I thought the last couple episodes were pretty good, save for some of the pregnancy non-sense and the continuing search for the little girl (kinda drags along after a couple episodes).
I'm getting quite tired of the search for Sophia. I'm with Shane at this point.
And now, all of a sudden, Andrea becomes a badass. But I'm ok with that.
Maggie's a bitch though.
The chick that plays Lori can't act her way out of a paper bag.

Except for those who have been injured, the search is the main reason they are staying put at the farm. As much as I am bored with it, there is a reason. Dale and Daryl are the only ones I like. The secondary characters/storylines are stronger than the main cast's, but I'm starting to get more into the show now.
they FINALLY give that hooker a gun and the first thing she does is shoot the main badass in the group. THEN no one smacks the shit out of her.
i sure hope that little girl is dead when they find her.
i knew there were gonna be captive zombies on that farm.
shane's a murderer now, eh what? i mean we all knew otis was fucked but DAMN.
I hope that girl is undead when they find her! Like the girl in the opening of Dawn of the dead.

I like how the black guy gets one line per episode now.
I still like how this season is panning out.
I'm disappoint that Carl didn't do the dirty at the end. I knew it was coming, but in the books, that kid is fucking ICE COLD. He does all the dirty shit Rick won't do, but without anyone knowing. Carl = favorite character once he gets his water wings off.
At least they found Sophia. That storyline fucking dragged on.
Anyone else know it was sophia before she visually appeared in the barn doors?
I knew, I was wrong on the Shane catching a bullet in the neck via Rick, for fucking with their plans. This ain't the book, but I'm liking how it's unfolding.
did anyone catch Shane's eyes while he was talking to Lori about her pregnancy? When he said it was his, she said no, blah blah, and when they camera went back to Shane's eyes, he was straight insane looking? Proper, that dude's a good actor.
There has been an increase in acting quality amongst many of the members. Took the better part of 1.5 seasons to do it but whatever. Shane's a whacko, his digression shall be fun to watch.
I still dig Dale, liking Rick more after he dropped that round on lil' girl. Hopefully they stick to what's supposed to happen to Shane, the way it happens to Shane.

I really wish they keep more to the comedian in the returning period. The lowest components of the present so far are when they vary from the publication.

Yes, a decent episode. More action = more enjoyment of this show.
Good episode but it should have been the mid-season finale and not the one before it.
The dude that showed up at the bar has been in some other shows (True Blood...).
I thought maybe he was a new character.
Heh.

I still feel like I don't always need the action. It has allowed the characters to develop a little more. But the action has been good thus far and is making the show more enjoyable overall. The car wreck scene was unnecessary, but there's always something like that in this show (gunshot wounds, possible snakebites, yada-yada).
Instead of looking at a map, she should've been putting lipstick on.
I hate Lori, so that scene was awesome.
Talkin' about Quick Draw. Y'all just wait, Rick is a true motherfucker. He just needs to develop.
I think my main problem is the lack of likeable characters. Is it the same in the books? or is it attributed to bad script writing. Everyone seems miscast..(I've never read the books, obv)
With that said, last nights episode was one, if not the best one so far. Even 8 minutes of something resembling action seems to be alot to ask for and held my interest. I'm usually laying down, almost asleep towards the last part.
Rick has been the antithesis of a badass..so hopefully mr puppy dog eyes/over analyzing man takes a darker turn. Guy is annoying, Lori even more so..(I was hoping she would get bit in the car wreck). Shane is an overacting douche..Dale gets tiring, so giving his character a break last night was nice..Daryl sucks...and get tired of the old man's christian undertones.
You should turn the TV off and go watch paint dry.
Yeah, you don't like the show. Watch something else.
I just wish they would get away from the farm and get moving.
They need to pull their shit together. Would have been better to have helped that injured kid right up to the point of being overrun, then leave him out of desperation. Whatever, I can't keep expecting this show to get better. Now I'm only watching this as it's on Sunday nights.
Wish they'd get a story line going, two whole sequences with the car wreck and the bar shooting really went nowhere - don't the funny books have a plot they could follow?
I was scared that they were about to spend the next half season looking for the chic that wrecked the car. How dumb do you have to be to hit the only thing in the road?
I wish someone or a zombie would kill Dale already. He's a pain in the dick.
Dale is a moron. I don't like the blond chic that cries all the time about dale not letting her kill herself. The only character that I like all that much is Shane. You can't tell me that Rick would be able to beat his ass in real life. Shane would destroy nick
What's up with Daimien from Rescue Me?
Fist fight, MOTHERFUCKER
EDIT: I must be mistaken
EDIT: Nope, it's him.
Your Dale problem is solved. I hated that stupid kid, what a rotten little shit.
The next character that walks up on some eviscerated animal and stares at it slack jawed until....SURPRISE A Zombie is right there!! Look out!!!!
I am starting to wonder about this show, but there's only a few left. This half season was poorly done and lazily written. Stupid Hollywood.
Yeah Dale sucked. I was hoping Carl would step up and kill the hostage. That would have been badass!
So whats the deal with the prisoner kid and Shane turning into zombies after death? I thought this was an infection style zombie show?
Maybe the virus mutated?
that's a good point. I feared they were getting sloppy with details.

Actually, your idea is probably more likely.
In most zombie movies the dead return to life, despite being bit or not, right? The first zombie had to start somewhere. I think it's reasonable to expect it to be airborne or a weird type of radiation that's re-animating them.
I haven't read the comic but I bet it's in the well water.
I haven't read the books, but it would be easy enough to still use the virus angle. All they really have to say is something along the lines of 'the virus goes into latency in living tissue', and then 'goes lytic after death, producing a zombie guy'.
In the episode "18 miles out," there is a hint. When they're looking at the dead cops... watch and see if you catch it.

WTF was that on the horizon that they finished the episode on?
Jail.
Yeah, it was a prison. Why the hell didn't any of the locals mention that before. And Lori needs to die. Oh, we are in a crisis and got split up...why don't we have a muster point?
Well they didn't even think the farm was in danger until the last episode. ::)
I didn't get the Andrea thing?
What do you mean?
I thought it was cheesy that the zombie that killed dale sparked the concern to board up the house. Next think you know, there's hundreds of them coming. I just think they could have built up on the scenario a bit better, because it didn't seem to realistic. Overly convenient, even for tv.
And then Andrea getting saved by the weird hooded figure seems kind of strange. Guess we'll have to wait until next season to find out what's up with that.

The house being boarded up didn't really have anything to do with the zombies, I thought they boarded it up in preparation for Randall's crew, if they attacked. And the zombies never even entered the house, so it's not like they made their stand in the house.
That hooded character is from the comic, next season is showing some promise.

That was the only thing that was bad ass in the episode. I HATE all of the people on this show except for Daryl. Not quite sure why he hangs around them - he'd probably be safer on his own.
After a reasonably dull second season, it finally seems to turn back to the awesomeness again. Let's just hope it's as good as the comic.
The Entertainment Weekly covers make me not so excited.

[spoiler]Goodbye, Hershel[/spoiler]
He's the best.
I don't think he's going anywhere.
I really don't want him to die, but I think he's gone. I noticed I didn't see him on the season previews, other than the images for this particular episode...
I just got all caught up & watched the premier in come & popcorn . Yeah I suspect he'll live until the baby is born . I think I'm going to get caught up on the comics too .
Confession: I've never watched a shred of this show until Saturday when I was flipping around the channels in the morning and saw this pretty bad ass gun battle going on and it drew me in (I didn't even know what I was watching at the time -- thought it was some cop series). Then I find out it's the first episode of 'The Walking Dead' and the I find out it's the beginning of a marathon on AMC building up to the first episode of the third season which was, of course, last night. I watched every episode and then caught last night.
Pretty great tv series which has now got me interested in the comic book series, too. Seems like there is almost more fleshing out of characters and so forth in tv series than the comic book? I don't know because I only looked at the first issue of the comic book in series in comparison.
Definitely hooked at this point.
They change it up a bit so you won't know what's gonna happen (if you follow the comic).
Eh, I cheated and read up on the 'The Walking Dead' wiki in terms of the comic book. So, I do know what happens in the comic. It'll be interesting to see how the show continues to deviate from the cb.
On the Talking Dead they were saying that in the comic books, it was supposed to be Dale getting bit, not Hershel.

The "going down first" joke was pretty awesome too.
He lurves her.
Finally able to watch the first episode of the new season. Man, how freakin bad ass. I know some people don't dig how "in-humane" Rick has become, but I think it's pretty much amazing. Great episode. Looking forward to the next.
Hope the Gary Oldman looking dude is into black cock.
oh, and Merle is going to be back!
I'm not a fan of Merle.
Rick is a motherfucker, outright. I love it. Wait until Carl starts getting real... Merle is going to be an oddity, i haven't any idea of his stance. I suspect he won't be around too long via Daryl taking him out with a crossbow or something else when Merle tries to exact revenge on the crew.
In the comic Rick does all the heavy lifting so to speak , it is very clear from the get all he cares about is keeping his family / people safe . In the show while I never thought of him as soft it seemed something was holding him back from total badassery . He seems to be embracing it now .
He's finna pop off. Im excited to see how real shit gets.
So far these 2 episodes are doing a good job of making me forget about the shitty episodes last season.
Which shitty eps last season ? The first half ?
The ones that had more talking than zombie action.
I just watched this weeks ep & it was way too much talking . Why hasn't Ricks wife figured out if she just apologized for being a cunt things might get better
Way too much talking?? Have you not seen the several amounts of axes to the heads, possible zombie mouth to mouth and c-section practices on a zombie chick?

probably figured out that they will have to repopulate the earth . I bet in the winter he had the "talk" basically telling Carl how to get the job done . Plus how old is he now ? In a post apocalyptic world he should already be knockin boots
this last ep was great. love this show. That longhaired inmate totally had to go, saw it coming.
Don't know if this has been discussed yet but is there a trademark or some shit on the word "zombie"? Are we going under the pretense that these people have never pondered what if the dead came back to life? In their society was there never this imagined concept? does the word zombie not exist. It's like that movie "The Mist". Nobody ever says the word "fog". nobody ever says there is a mist rolling in in normal life. They say there's a fog rolling in.
I think with so many "types" of zombies created over the years, nobody wants to call them that directly. It might rile the nerds up ::)
Well actually...
That or they might fear it will sound too cliche to use the term.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NotUsingTheZWord
Maybe that's Darabont's doing with the not calling the "walkers" zombies? As RAGER mentioned, he also was behind The Mist, so maybe he didn't want allusions to other franchises and/or movies like "Night of the Living Dead" or, in "The Mist"'s case, Carpenter's "The Fog" and the remake to that ....
Essentially wanting the projects to stand alone?
Or maybe that's to stay true to 'The Walking Dead' comic (they're called 'walkers' in the comic, correct?)
I guess I,Galactus' link makes more sense than my reasoning ..
It was mentioned in talking dead at the end of S2, that in the universe where the show takes place, there was no pop-cultural influx of zombie movies courtesy of Romero et al. Thus, the only people familiar with the term "zombie" would be legitimate voodoo practitioners (and bartenders I guess?).
The Stephen King thing just seems like laziness, though.
that in the universe where the show takes place, there was no pop-cultural influx of zombie movies

AMC streamed the first episode this season apparently because they had contract disputes with DishNetwork.
Well they hammered out the contracts and now AMC isn't streaming it anymore. So my only option outside of torrents or third party streams is $1.95 an episode at amazon.

Y'all nillas read the comic. The show is vastly more tame in terms of character deaths. Black for black was a good trade, New homeboy plays a badass if he's taking place.
/racist post
[spoiler]In the comic, Lori and the baby take a shotgun shell to the guts, and T-dawg gets his head whacked off with Michonne's katana via the Governor, after T and her start diddling. Michonne showed up way early, Dale died too early, him and Andrea were supposed to be together until he kicks the bucket. Dale should have been the one to lose a leg, Herschel wasn't. What blows my mind is they completely eliminate Michonne's character building when they killed off T-dawg, she is supposed to be untouchable, and he was supposed to bring her out of her shell and make her feel compassion and love, again, only to lose him. Bummer that some of the epic depressing real shit gets dropped from the show, to me, it really matters because that is the type of connection I like to make with characters.[/spoiler]
^^^^^ do not read this unless you've seen up to this episode, I put in order the way shit happened in comic for the people that have seen the show, and want to know the parallel happenings in the comic.

I almost did too. That scene when she gave birth was one of the most intense scenes of any show I have ever scene. And, when Rick found out Lori died that made the whole episode that much better. So much violence and emotion all in one episode.
I won't lie I got misty at the end if last season when the farm got invaded . I got misty again at ricks reaction . Not only to lori's death but when he realized Carl put a bullet in her head . Shit intense
as opposed to some of the other diversions from the book I don't mind the current ones. and this season is shaping up to be one of the most intense seasons of any show in recent memory.
It was Rick's reaction that shook me. I always wondered why they went with an English actor as he didn't seem that strong as a performer. Well that moment of emotion convinced me.
T-Dog went out like a man, no love for T-Dog?

His time to shine was the prison ( no racism intended) up until then the only real time he shined was on the rooftop in season 1 . Other then those times he was kinda just a back up player
Should've known the moment they actually gave him some lines that he was gonna die.
I feel they failed him in that role. It was like he wasn't even a true participant in the cast.
just caught up. holy freakin h lovin goddamn christ! That was one of the most intense episodes of any show, ever.
I saw it a couple days ago, and huzzah - Loris is dead.
Lori bugged the crap outta me, and I didn't even see season 2. I think (whatever the broad's name is) pretty much knew Lori was meat from the beginning of the season; given she actually tried to convey something other than dittzbag.
and yeah, there was a look on Rick's face when he realized Carl capped potential zombie mom that was really, really intense.
when is that kid gonna stop wearing that fucking hat?

Ricks rampage was awesome !
There were some good killins.
Already mentioned this at The Obelisk, but does anybody expect David Morrissey to say at some point, "I have a very particular set of skills". The dude sounds a shitload like Liam Neeson.
I thought last night's episode was kind of 'meh'. The whole zombie cage fighting match, to me, felt contrived and a bit ridiculous. I guess it helps to show the moral ambiguities of the so called 'Governor' and Woodbury?
Daryl is making my hormones act weird... Between riding that chopper in that poncho and then being all fatherly with the baby.. Rawr...

i agree about the gov. When comic book dudes told me about him he was supposed to be this evil fuck. Other than the aquariums I haven't seen it yet . Rick flipping out I thought was fun . Ninja girl killing zombies was meh.
I too thought that episode was a bit dull. Hopefully some shit happens in the next one. Looks like the go after Michonne. Hopefully she fucks some people up. And hopefully Rick is done mourning and gets his shit together. Zombie apocalypse tough love. Buck up
I agree that the episode was kind of meh, but it served its purpose of damage control well. I really like the direction this season is heading in.
They can't keep killing two main characters at the time...
Last week's episode was pretty intense, this one was obviously mellow, but there was a phone ringing.. That was interesting.
I wonder if it was in his head , he was out there
Carol is still missing and someone was watching her.. That leads me to think there's someone else on the "undiscovered" part of the prison that is aware that the power is on (remember the alarm going off?)... So I think the phone is real...
That's a good point. I assumed the one watching her was the black prisoner that let the zombies in and turned on the alarm.

I thought the episode was kinda...... lame? .....hmmmm........ no -
... campy! Like a giant heaping serving of camp smothered in tongue in cheek, with a side of delicious schlock.
I get there's going to be camp, but the dude brushing the zombie girls hair and a chunk of scalp comes off, the 'kill bill' camera angles and expressions of ninja chick, Daryl feeding the kid (ass kicker? really?), rick finding the bloated zombie that ate his wife (I really did lol at that), zombie thunderdome (I was down with until they said it was WWF).
As such Rick's anguish and the dialogue to move the story along seemed out of place to me.
and yeah, it probably was done to offset last week's episode.
He snapped and is down there in the dark axing Zombies - to blow off steam. The same as The Governor.

I hate to be packed in a herd, but it's true...
Rick is a horrible actor.
Carl killed Shane and Laurie, so he's okay in my book.
Carl VS. Merle
Rick VS. The Governor
Soon.

I hope Carol isn't dead so she can can finally get some from Darryl.

They stream the episodes for free an hour after the original air time.
Anyone actually download this? Makes me nervous but I really wanna see those episodes I missed.
Depending on how many episodes you missed, you may just want to pay $2/episode on amazon to catch up.
Fuck that, couchtuner
Interesting episode. I dig this season thus far.

It's not downloading, just streaming... I use an ad blocker so it's all golden.
[spoiler]
Anyway, this episode actually got me little teary when Rick finally acknowledged the baby.
Had a little "wtf?" moment when the dude on the phone call mentioned Carl
and the baby... Rick didn't mentioned the baby at all, just Carl.

Yeah, they are going to up the drama - all this, Homeland, Breaking Bad, and Mad Men are all fighting each other.
WD has main characters ready to snap and then they snap in front of you every week. With a lot of fucking. So do the other three. Don Draper choked a woman to death.
Andrea is extremely annoying. I hope a zombie gets her sooner than later.

Yeah, last week will be the mid-season finale...
Wait, next week's episode (ep.8) on 12/2 will be the mid-season finale. It appears next Sunday will have a marathon leading up to the mid-season finale.

Did you see the Penny moment with Michone preview?
No, it said, "next week on the walking dead" and I plugged my ear switched the station. :-[

That's what I call a cliffhanger.

Great episode. It's nice to see how badly damaged the prison actually is.
Very good episode. I find it interesting that the governor is set up to be the bad guy, but how much worse is he than Rick? Hell, you have a better chance of staying alive with him.
It was a very good episode.
In fact, it was good enough to renew my interest in a series that, I must admit, I was growing a little weary of. I hadn't liked the last three episodes or so (anything since Rick's wife died, really). So, this one was an antidote for the 'mehs'. I realize not every episode can be golden, but I was just getting tired of the dragging plot line.
I've read all the comics up to the most recent issue, and I have to say, for the most part, I like the comics better (even after seeing the series first). But, I can say why they chose to do things differently for TV (budget, viewer interest, etc).
Maybe it's just me, but because of the comic books and they way time progresses in it, doesn't Carl already seem to be too old in what is the third season of this series. I mean, there's a long way to go with this (presumably), and the actor who plays him already appears to be bordering on his teen years. It's almost like they need to recast the part or something?
Anyway, I look forward to the continuation of this in Feb.
Killing zombies puts hair on your chest. He a man now.
Been going through season two and three during the last two or three weeks. I'm almost starting to look for zombies under the sofa right now lol... ;D
I just love it!
So I guess I donlt watch enough tv because what the fuck is a "mid-season finale"? Why no episodes until Feb??
I want more!! now
Same deal for me.
This is common occurrence for AMC series, no? What's the point? Is it a budget thing?
It's the common thing for most television series on most channels. They all have a "winter break". Around jan 1st shows like American idols season starts. It's a Christmas break. Although most shows do come back at the beginning of jan and not feb
They're also doing that so it can lead up to Mad Men, then Mad Men leads up to Breaking Bad.
And Game of Thrones
Not a single goddamned Zombie in the previews.
Goddammit.
I only saw a couple of them trying to break into a car. Not a good sign...
Spoilers! ;)
I don't have cable so I haven't seen any previews.
I saw it on Youtube.
Just giving shit for shit I was given before ;)
Just a reminder, the premiere is tonight at 7/8c.
Thanks for the reminder, bitter, or I would have missed it.
That said, I kind of wished I had.
That was the mid season debut ??? Nothing happened! Oh wait, yes it did, the deal with Daryl ::)
Is it just me, or is this show kind of derailing a bit? It seems like it gets more boring each episode, and because of that, I start noticing things I didn't earlier on: the cheesiness of the sets, the bad acting, the plot logic holes and so forth.
Maybe it was impossible to do, but, imo, this series would have been better served following the comic, within reason, as closely as possible, and not swerving off on its own. The show, as is now, is losing momentum and becoming a real bore with way too much filler. Lastly, Andrew Lincoln, as Rick, was a terrible casting choice. He doesn't work at all.
The opening scene A-Team gunfight was terrible.
I had intended to post a reminder earlier in the week and forgot to :-[. Hopefully, others saw it in time, too.
It's time like this I wish we didn't lose the spoiler button in the server swap. As such, I wont give anything too crazy away... I liked the episode overall. didn't really seem boring, but the character's relationships are falling apart and it would have made more sense for rick to sort of 'nut up' and lead the group w/out falling apart. One minute he's fine, the next a mess. Doesn't make a lot of sense...

Agreed. they don't do gunfights well in this series. The zombie killing is fine, but the shoot-outs are lame.
Agreed.
Yeah, it's TV, it's not big budget Hollywood cinema, I get that. But as noted, the action scenes are rarely done well and always come off really cheesy and spare.
And then there's this: the use of a mid-size Hyundai SUV as their main vehicle?? The world is in the shitter, zombies are everywhere, the remaining humans have become incredibly dangerous, and the best mode of transportation these guys can find is a Hyundai mid-sized SUV? Hey, it's economical! :P ::)
The whole thing seems scaled down, on the cheap, and, frankly, a bit directionless.
TV shows are just car commercials now.
I'll watch it today or tomorrow . The last couple of eps didnt do much for me . I'm kind if afraid that if its meh , I'll just give up all together

I hate to mention it but every time Merle is on screen that arm thing bumps me out of the story. It wasn't as noticeable with the big knife on the end of his metal stump cover but now... why is his stump LONGER than his other arm? Because he's clearly just an actor wearing a metal sleeve over his hand. Bumps me out of the story every time.
Another hate watch for me.
I do find Rick losing his mind a potentially interesting plot development that I'm sure the show will fuck up. I would love if everybody in Rick's group dumped him and joined with Cutty's (Wire shoutout!) group. Why he is still their leader is beyond me. Not like he's done that great a job anyway.
I was surprised that I enjoyed the episode . Guess I figured it was gonna suck . I think Rick going crazy is awesome , not so much in front of everybody though . The group is too small now they need this other people . There's a war a coming
Those soap opera parts in the prison where Herschel wouldn't answer any questions were painful!
The Governor is my new Joffrey Baratheon.
Last night's show was a perfect example of what works and what doesn't. Action = Awesome, Dialogue = Terrible.
The end of the episode was great except it sort of reminded me of an A-Team episode where hundreds of bullets were shot, but none hit anyone except for Maggie killing the guy in the watch tower.
You forgot the one shot one kill headshot that started the battle. First round hits perfectly. The next 2000 don't hit anyone
That bulletstorm was fucking stupid.

I agree. They kill zombies fine, but the firefights suck.
Overall, I didn't like the last episode.
I thought the fire fight was more realistic than in other shows/movies because they didn't hit anything. that's how 99% of irl fire fights go. the first head shot was a guy being able to calmly take aim and shoot another guy who was standing still. once the action starts, adrenaline goes up and your heart rate increases your average joe ain't gonna hit shit. the zombie killing was always from a much closer distance than what they were shooting from.
what bothered me more is how did the one guy get up the tower and why didn't the other guy engaging Rick shoot him when Rick was fighting off the zeds.
All in all, same as with the last season I'm not too keen on where the show deviates from the book (besides Rick's right hand) but in general I'm still happy with it.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/20/2e5e2y4y.jpg)
I had low expectations of this season so I've been relatively happy with the way things are going . Eventually I'd like to see them on the road again , traveling . Another thing that creepy prisoner guy . I bet he tries something before too long
The one that got his head blown off?
I read the reason that they don't do much moving has to do with the budget more than anything else. The show is AMC's biggest in terms of viewership, but the Network would rather give the money to their "prestige" shows (that have much smaller viewing audiences).
Seems once Frank Darabont was jettisoned from the show, it took a marked decline in terms of its quality (in every aspect).
The whole aspect of Rick chasing down his dead wife outside of the walls of the prison is utterly stupid. I'm not sure at what they're driving at here, but this is supposed to be their leader and they "owe him so much" and what's he done? Act like an idiot and be utterly flaky in the most important times. Is the idea to show the strengths of the other members? Probably, but it just makes the Rick character that much more unsympathetic and hackneyed to the viewers, imo.

Yeah, Rick slowly losing his mind has gone on for too long, but maybe it's only been a couple of days in the context of the story. I dunno, they've always portrayed him as a flawed leader, I thought that was part of the overall story. Or they could be working up to killing him off by season's end. I can see the writers continuing his downward mental spiral, resulting in his death, but with redemption/sacrifice at the end to save the group? That's the beauty(or should be) of this series: no one is ever safe from being killed off.
Yeah, the fact that any character is vulnerable to getting the grease should be a neat element to this show, and, it is, but you kind of know which characters aren't going to die (or anytime soon, anyway). The character that got offed this time was the prisoner character (I forget his name), but the rest of the characters came out of the Governor's gun battle unscathed.
Now, I understand that there's only so many characters and so forth, but death for a character, at any time, should be a fear for the audience. That's how it is in the comics, and shows like "Game of Thrones" do that, and it keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats. I just don't get the same vibe from TWD. It's like if they're a favorite, they are absolutely safe. I mean, you can't fathom Daryl getting killed, right?

You can't fathom Daryl getting killed yet. But give it a season or two. You probably wouldn't have thought that Rick would be killed off early in the series, but I can see it happening now. Daryl has kind of made Rick expendable. Maybe in a season or two, Daryl's character will be written in a direction that makes him expendable.
I kinda wish they would go ahead and kill Rick off the show. Maggie's boyfriend is getting on my nerves too. I can't remember his name right now.

Glenn's comic death is fucking vicious, it will be worth your while, if they kill him in the series.
In the comic I understand Rick does all the "heavy lifting " & will not hesitate to kill a mofo. I kind of get that on the show . The character in my mind is still riding a wave if success from when he iced those 2 dudes in the bar in season 2 .
Did the mustachiod pervy prisoner get killed ? I guess I need to watch that ep again
They have to write TV differently because Rick has to seem good, and heroic, but conflicted and flawed. They can't have him be ruthless, soccer moms and stay at home dads won't like him as much. His comic dynamic is very likable, as he is insane, but like a... Chaotic good?

Yeah, he's the one that gets it while talking to Carol that starts the whole firefight off. Man, I would so do Carol now. Once she got some confidence she got sexy to me.
I second that emotion
Yup. Carol has slowly gone from "Not with a stolen dick!" to "Yup. I'd hit that."
Andrea is the WORST. Still.
She's a bit of an idealogue, but that body, mang. Think of that body.
Spoilers below
I really like how they played everyone off one another last night. Mucho deception going on among the factions.
Those dual curb stomps were hard to watch. I mean the first go was enough, but the second just offends my sensibilities ;D
Andrea's one of those please everyone all the time types...she's going to step on the wrong toes, me thinks.
Now last night showed how good the show can be. Great episode! Get them away from the prison and Woodbury.
Really? I thought it sucked for the most part. So little of it made sense and soooo many logic problems with the whole damn thing.

Well, I do have low expectations. I was just glad that it got away from the prison and Hershell saying "Rick" constantly.
I liked the episode. Definitely broke the staleness of the last few episodes, and got a little heavy.
Duane turned :'(
Anybody else find the backpacker at the beginning and end more disturbing than any of the other stuff?
I thought they would either use the backpacker as a bit of comedy relief(as they pass him on the way back, tell him there's a town a mile up the road) or they would use him as a vehicle to show how hardened they have become. Guess it was the latter. Well done.

Oh I was too. I guess it was more disturbing to me that the dude had survived that long and as soon as he came across Rick he died. It almost seems like Rick is responsible for more deaths on the show than the zombies.
I haven't seen this past episode yet but I will say that it worries me how negative godshifter is. Dude needs to smoke a bowl
Just know that Shifter's opinion is going against popular and critics opinion. Most reviews I read felt that it was one of the best episodes of the entire series.
That said, I still respect Shifter's opinion.
Definitely one of the best episodes so far, and a portent of good omens for the future of the show as apparently the writer of sunday's episode will be the show runner for the next season.

This issue goes beyond a legitimate opinion critiquing the show (arguably the best part of watching is being able to discuss its pro/cons Monday morning with everyone) and is disrespectful to Godshifter. This subforum is supposed to be drama-free and doesn't need trolls like DL disrupting the discussion. I'm getting pretty fucking tired of the blatant disrespect of the moderators around here as of late by a couple of individuals who cannot seem to control themselves. Clean it up.
Maybe it is the Hydrocodone, but are you referencing me? I have always kept it clean in pretty much every forum except Gen Disc. Hell, I even try to get along with Shaft.
I disagree with Shifter, but I see where he is coming from. Plot holes? Of course. Dialogue still stupid? Yes. People doing things that would get them killed if they were not the heroes? Sure.
I just thought the episode was great due to some of the things it made me think about - not necessarily even stuff shown on screen. Of course with low expectations I was able to enjoy the episode as well - any time the show gets static (Hershell's Farm, The Prison, Woodbury) which unfortunately is most of the time, the show bogs down.
Lost my train of thought...
No, I wasn't referring to you. Apologies for not being more clear.
I really liked the episode. I didn't realize they were headed back to Rick's town, but once they said where they were inside the cop-shop, I knew we'd be seeing Morgan again or at least learning his fate. I much prefer crazy Morgan over crazy Rick, as Rick jumps from being sane to losing it far too often to appear believable.

I'm not trolling this thread. The walking dead is one of my favorite shows. I was just pointing out that noone likes a negative nelly. I apologize for offending you bitter
Take it to the OFF FORUM!
And it's cool, bittah, but I certainly appreciate the sentiments. That said, I can take the hate/heat. It's ok. :)
If you're a TWD fanboy, I apologize. The thing is with me is I don't watch much television, so there's that (maybe I have unrealistic expectations for a series). Also, I have seen, IMO, a dramatic drop off with this series since I started watching it. I don't know if it's the lack of Frank Darabont, budget constraints, or lazy writing, but whatever it is, it's effected my viewing pleasure.
Sorry if I'm shitting on the parade, but I call it like I see it. As I alluded to, I don't watch much television, so maybe my standards are too high for what is, essentially, a relatively "clean" cable show that can't take things to limit of an HBO or Showtime. Therefore, maybe I judge things too harshly? (I judge most things too harshly, truth be told).
I just haven't liked much of this season, really. I thought last weeks episode was okay, but nothing more. The problems with cheap sets, bad plot logic, and incoherent character actions made me roll my eyes through out the episode. But I'm a cynical fuck, so you can take my opinions with a grain of salt, I imagine.
Sorry to be a "negative nelly".
SUNSHINE AND ROSES!
You know you're cool with me
We're good.
Is it affected or effected. I get the two fucked up.
/isfuckedup
Afflicted.
It's nice to see that Carl is growing up before our eyes as well as growing a set of balls. It was nice to have an episode of not seeing Woodbury and the Prison. This episode was kind of similar to The Fly episode of Breaking Bad. More of a character study than anything else. I liked the episode and the change of pace it gave.
Yeah, I used to hate Carl, but now that he is a stone cold killer I like him. Hell, he's more rational than his dad is.
The turning point for Carl obviously was when he killed his mom. I feel like he became leader of the group then.
Just caught up.
Bummer about Morgan. :'(
Awesome episode indeed. The reaction to the backpacker was totally expected this far in the game, specially with the characters that were in that car... Probably wouldn't have went the way it went if Hershel was driving...
Morgan episode was an island of good in a sea of mediocre. At this point it's kind of the opposite of Lost: where Lost had good writers and decent actors but lacked a coherent story to keep it all together, TWD has a great story as a base already, but decent to bad actors (fucking Andrea - love that character in the comic, hate her on TV) and as for the writers - that depends entirely on what episode of what season you're talking about. one thing's for sure, consistent they ain't.
The Governor's plan is so stupid. If you want to kill everybody in the prison just do it.
The problem here, IMO, is more budget than anything else.
That's why you get these long, protracted dialogue heavy episodes with very little going on other than character development and so forth. Let's be honest, though, we know these characters at this point. Yeah, Dary's a bad ass no shit taker, Merle's a hothead with an underlying bad streak to him, Andrea is a dipshit, Glenn and Maggie love each other, Hershel is the wise counsel, blah blah blah. Yet, as we've seen before, the action scenes for this show are rarely done well (and rarely done on a grand scale) because of lack of budget. It isn't the writing so much as the inability of the show to pull off anything with any real tangible tension, outside of posturing and so forth, because it can't be done (well).
The finale of this show will have the Governor storming the prison and, yeah, some characters will die (most likely Hershel), but it won't be done well. It'll be spare with some cheesy smoke bombs going off and small scenes going back and forth with one or two characters fighting one or two characters from Woodbury. It won't be anything like a real military assault because this show can't do it.
Also, has anyone noticed how lame the zombies ala "walkers" are anymore? The make up looks bad, and the ones that hang around the prison are barely capable of doing anything. At the end of last weeks episode, Daryl rides through on his motorcycle and the rest in the bitchin' Hyundai economy crossover, and the zombies just kind of mill about and do nothing. No moving towards them, no nothing; they're like cows chilling about in a field or something. I get that they're a secondary feature in the show and it's really about the tensions of humans in a world without humanity and laws, but, shit, at least make them a bit menacing (realistic looking/acting), as to add to the quality of the show.
I agree about the budget. What pisses me off is that this is AMC's biggest show ratings-wise (even more than a lot of network shows) by far, but they cheap out and funnel more money to Mad Men.
They better not cheap out for the final season of Breaking Bad.
They don't do gun fights very well, that's why the "going to war" shenanigans worry me.

So we are to expect a Sopranos pacing, where they can sacrifice a few episodes following various sub plot-lines. I imagine each major character would like a shot at an Emmy.

The good news is that the books exist and if you like that better you can go to the comic book store and have the time of your life.
For the rest of us lets see some brutal zombie attacks.
I'm a fan of the charbroiled zombies.

The all Andrea episode? I think she did great.
Way, way to much time on her man face and not enough of her ass.
I think she is pretty hot for ongoing zombie apocalypse. Not like there are a ton of choices.
Yeah, the small budget is noticeable. There are certain shots here and there that look like they were filmed with a Canon Rebel.
It's a bit of a slow mover, and they made Maggie put her over shirt back on (big ups to the Maggie tank top episode). Andrea's god damn ass should get an Emmy.
Supposedly, it's the most watched show ever on basic cable. Maybe throw a few bucks at it, yeah?

Those Mad Men Beatles rights ain't paying themselves, yo!
Edit: If it's already the most watched, why spend
more money on it? The tuppnece they've already spent is doing the job just fine. :D
27 Characters get killed in the finale ?
Well, that was heart-breaking.
Good episode, but Merle's makeup could've been better.
Looking forward to the finale.
The BBC has a new zombie show called In the Flesh. The 1st episode bored me to death and is about jumping to the start of a zombie cure to make the dead humane. So far zero creepiness. Not good.
That sounds like Shawn of the Dead without the funnies.
The Governor was a family man.
The Merle looked like he beat people up for a living.
No way I believe the ootcome of that fight.
Jesus, that was a terribly written episode.
Darryl got teh sadz :(
What happened to Carl btw? Was he in this episode at all?

What happened to Carl btw? Was he in this episode at all?
I remeber seeing in the scene where Rick tells everyone about how he was thinking of giving Michonne to the Govenor. I don't even think Carl had a speaking part in that episode.
Oh, ok, i was wondering if he got killed off.
Is it Sunday yet?
This shit is getting kinda stoopit.
The entire episodes marathon has been going on all week.
There were some good episodes on the farm.
Just watched Dale's death. Rough shit.
Scott Wilson is awesome. I hope they don't kill him off on Sunday.
losing interest in the show quickly. I haven't caught up since the start of the second half of the season. the last episode I saw was when the General Custer looking prisoner got shot by the guvn'r.
don't know if I'm going to bother finishing the season - awhile ago somebody posted a flow chart of 'watching the walking dead' and the bulk of the chart was 'why am I watching this show?' - I keep being reminded of that.
I didn't read the comics, but understand character development to some degree. And this show isn't doing it - some of the actors can convey character depth and all, but after three season's it seems like most of the others acting abilities have plateaued and they just can't deliver more, making it almost painful to watch.
as an example, I did cheat and read up on the 'Michone' back story and it sounds really interesting, but all the actress does is walk around and scowl... continually..... without explanation. it just gets old
Mmmmmm...Custard
I'm not trying to say that the show is the crowning achievement of all humanity.
Or am I?
It seems like a good show to me. I don't like Andrea all that much but other than that...
I will keep watching, it's character driven
Andrea :'(
Really crazy finale just went down tonight. When in the fuck is it October? Bring on the fourth season and more :o moments
A lot of zombie bait got off that bus.

Andrea :'(
Fucking finally! She sucked.
Nice ass though.
Sad to see her go, but love to watch her leave. :'( :-*
(http://www.famousnakedcelebrities.com/wp-content/uploads/Laurie-Holden-nude-ass.gif)
Milton no.......
That was a fun episode - isn't Tyrese a major character in the funny books? What's his deal? Do they leave the prison?
I like how the baby just doesn't really exist.
Tyreese gets his head removed with Michonnes sword via the Governor after he captures him, in the books.
Carl is a super badass.
Shoulda shot Hershell's tattle tale ass too.
I like how he shut Rick down.
that was the bossest thing I've ever seen in my life
This was still the best episode of the season for me.
I've seen half to two thirds of the finally because coke&popcorn links keep locking up . All in all it seems to be what a season finale should be . When is it ok to start posting more spoilers so I can kinda know how it ends ?
Am I the only who was disappointed with the finale? So many inconsistencies it's ridiculous. why did the governor kill his people if he was running with them in the first place? where were Rick, Michonne and Daryl when the fighting was going down and why would the three of them want to go after a group of people who outnumber and outgun them.
only good part is that the annoying cunt who plays Andrea won't be back next season even though they had to make her send off as painful as possible for the viewers. it's like they managed to reduce all her idiocy of this season down to one action that drew out over the entire episode. fuck her trying to pick up those pliers.
I would have to be excited first to be disappointed.

This guy agrees with you too.
Granted, my expectations weren't that high to begin with. But as a reader of the comic I was expecting a lot more than that. The comic ending of the prison/governor story arc is nothing short of epic.
I don't think that was the ending of the story arc though. They'll drag it out with the Governor into at least the mid point of next season.
I decided to stop giving my opinion of this series because I was accused of being a "Negative Nelly". :'(
Certain amount of shark jumpery going on, here.
Finally saw the rest . I liked it but it was pretty meh . I think I need to start reading the comic
It's worth it just to know Rick is a badass.

Did you get to the episode where they went back to Rick's hometown? That one was good. Also, you watched two and a half seasons, why not finish it up?
no, they haven't gone back to rick's hometown. i'm at the part where glenn and maggie got kidnapped and tortured.
i guess i'm just burnt out? maybe i'll revisit it later. but when they got to that dumb pleasantville town, i just really stopped caring. i have a hard time believing most of those 75 people would've survived this long. there's a couple paramilitary wannabe hard asses who would've made it, but the people that think walkers aren't dangerous? that can't shoot? they would've been dead long ago. whatever little settlement would've been cobbled together in a zombie apocalypse, it wouldn't be that comfortable, that perfect.
i also just don't care about andrea or the governor and it seems like they're setting up this big showdown with the prison people. ZZZZZZZZ. i might revisit it later.
Or switch to Orphan Black?
what's orphan black?
Some kind of British Sci-fi series that Shaft keeps going on about.
My lady likes orphan black but that shit is stupid to me

the whole thing needs to be pink. why did i watch this show?
can someone please fucking teach the guy who plays rick how to hold a gun? and that leaning and tilting his body to the side is not acting. unless you are a graduate of the david caruso school of drama.

That last one's ok. She made it clear that he was not her father in season 2. ;D
Comes back on Sunday the 13th - excited?
Not really, but I'll be watching it.
I never got around to calling the cable Co. about my digital converter box that went kaput earlier this year. I just gave up watching tv on tv and it hasn't been all that bad. I don't think there will be a lot to miss from this new season, but maybe I'll be able to catch up on episodes using xfinity via my computer.
That was weird.
mmm-hmmm.
If Daryl and Carol don't bone this season I am done.
Also, they may as well put red shirts on some of those new folks.
It seems every episode they are adding someone new who used to be in The Wire.
What the fuck happened to all the drugs during the zombie apocalypse? I'd have stashed some tangerine dream sears somewhere and would be growing the fuck out of some weed.
Zombie plague looks like bad news
Mutated with some kind of swine flu?

If it is the damn #1 show on TV (not just cable), why does it have to look so cheap? The visual effects still look like ass a lot of the time.
I agree.
I thought this episode was the worst yet in terms of the look: zombies, sets, everything. Just awful. It's a terrible show at this point, but I'll keep watching because .. well, because, I guess.

Because zombies? I watch it with my son and he loves it because zombies.
What I find interesting is that a lot of the ideas the show brings are good, but the execution (acting, dialogue, direction, effects) let it down.
d'angelo better say "WHERE WALLACE AT" at some point on this show.
And Cutty could teach some boxing?
cutty so handsome. i might keep watching just for him.
The gore on this show is pretty damn awesome. I'm not sure what you people are complaining about, although of course whinging is GodShitter's natural state.

Because I've put the time to watch the show from the first episode to the premier, that's why. I have a certain investment in the show though I think it's sliding down hill at a rapid rate. Because I don't have anything else to watch since "Breaking Bad" ended, I guess.
Maybe it's me, but I'm tired of Hershel coming to Rick and summarizing what the "counsel" says and that everyone needs Rick and blah blah blah. Whatevs, it's old. If I hear one more, "I'm going on a run" I'm going to puke. Just say, "we're going out for a supply search, want to go?" The dialogue on this show is bad. The acting is bad. It seems they struggle to find a coherent way to move the plot forward. Most episodes go almost nowhere and are incredibly dull and, failing that, are sometimes flat out stupid.
The show was really pretty quality until things moved into the prison (third season, I guess) and since then, it's become a real turd in my opinion. Yet, as I said, I will keep watching.
Yeah, Hershel is a fucking joke. I guess he is now the mystical man of wisdom. What else is mystical is that snazzy prosthesis he is now wearing. He was so lucky that there was one laying around the prison that fit correctly.

You can't ask why and still watch this show.
so the only ones who deserve to watch the show are those who don't give a shit?
Quit caring so much, Priest!!! >:(
give me speculation, goddamnit!
Anybody heard any details about the Walking Dead spinoff that is going to come out?
buddy of mine thinks it was Carol with the killing/ burning at the end. discuss
I don't recall anyone getting upset or panicked about infected people prior to the burnings. Seemed a bit rushed to me, so it's hard to tell.
maybe they started turning and she acted fast?
I doubt it was Carol. She's a regular and has never shown signs of aggression before. The subplot about her teaching kids to use weapons is just misdirection. One of the newbies is probably doing the burning.
She definitely has reason to be protective now that she's playing mother goose. Tyrese's sister or the new army medic guy might be so inclined too.
I hope it was Carl.
In good story telling, that speculation would be driving events - maybe there could be some tension with the council or some different factions. Who is the saboteur?
This show needs some help.
Tsk. tsk. with the criticism of this show. Superlatives will only be tolerated!
SUCH GREAT ACTING, STORYTELLING, AND SETS!! WHERE'S THE EMMYS??
[possible spoiler]
The burnings seemed like a really half-assed way to turn Tyrese into the antagonist he eventually became in the comic.
By then he'd seen horrible things every day. He understands they need to teach the children to destroy the brains of their loved ones when they die.
Also in the book, Tyrese is the one who burns the bodies.... although they are his daughter and her boyfriend. So I don't think we can really make judgements based on the comic regarding him.

Well, judging by that last episode they did using the burnings to bring about the confrontation between him and Rick. But maybe they'll leave it at that.
Him taking out those zombies was pretty epic.
When did Carl become a bitch?
It was Carol. Woah.
And it was awesome how she mic dropped Rick.
Shit is actually happening this season.

I don't have your forensic eye for detail, priest.
I have no idea if you're right or not, but I hope it isn't Carl, who has morphed from being the usual annoying kid character to being one of the more likeable people on the show
Isn't Carl about the same height as Carol now?
no. and forensics aside, her answer to Rick was a little quick and matter-of-fact for a revelation of that magnitude. I think

Yeah, but with this show, you can potentially chalk that up to poor writing/direction.
I'm saying that quietly so as not to get GodShitter too excited.
According to my crack internet search skills Carol is 5'6" and Carl is currently 5'4". Pretty close...
they're factoring in the stupid hat.

i just wrote a rant
then deleted it.
fuck you people for getting me worked up about this shit. im just gonna keep on shutting off, suspending disbelief, and enjoying the fuck out of the show.
that is all
Was it about woman?
The Governor.
Meh.
Stop complaining.
There's always Comic Book men for you nitwits.
Comic Book Men is easily THE worstest show ever aired on television.

Indeed. How anyone thought this show would be entertaining to anyone is beyond me. AMC doesn't fail much with its show, but this one has to disappear -- watching curling or fly fishing would be more exciting.

Some impressive mayhem in this episode. I dug it. Wonder how Daryl will respond to the news about Carol.
How long have they been at the prison? They never thought to reinforce the fence until it was too late?
it was never a problem until the clustering began. a governor innovation no doubt
The fence would've been easier to fix if they killed the zombies first. I mean, at least thin them out to relieve the pressure on the fence.
Worker smarter not harder.
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZpPcxz2-KJ8/UhTfxMkRvnI/AAAAAAAAA50/gBPEzNFUyq0/s1600/zombies_for_dummies+(2).png)
They got fucking 100s of cars at their disposal, line then up against the fences all around the perimeter - I can't figure out what these people are doing all damn day long. If the Governor is hiding in the bushes throwing rats up against the fence, then why the fuck don't they assign one person to walk around and throw the rats 4 feet back into the grass. Or go sit out there in the dark one night with a gun and catch whomever is doing it. Just Duh.
If the Zombies are all pushing against one spot - then don't stand at that same spot so they push harder. Walk 12 feet along the fence. Duh.
It's a goddamned prison - they probably have miles of razor wire to go string along the ground outside the fences too. Make a walkway over to the little stream where they get their water.
Fucking Duh this damn show.
Maybe the virus that is in all of them affects their cognitive abilities?
I can't believe how unrealistic this zombie show is!!!!!!!!11111!
I'm sure DadJohnShaft would behave in the most rational, practical, level-headed fashion imaginable in the face of the zombie apocalypse. As long as there's wireless.
It's like these people haven't seen a zombie movie. Is Bolt writing these episodes?
I stopped watching last season, it just got toooooooooo awful.
yes, I know it's about the characters.
do I care? - no.
why? none of the characters are worth a spit. for no other reason than what dadjohnshaft pointed out. it's set in the frigging zombie apocolypse! even if their universe has never seen a zombie before, you'd think after a year or so, people would start to figure out how to defend a position or themselves.
but no. they can't come up with the tiniest of ideas or learn to cooperate enough so they don't get eaten. and so, they are all morons and deserve to be eaten.
on top of that, when writers implement really stupid decisions by characters in horror movies (such as walking into the basement when there's a crazy axe murderer around) the movie is ~90 minutes long, the audience can usually suspend disbelief for that amount of time.
but that only works in that time frame. when a weekly show in it's 3rd or 4th season continually has characters making the same dumb decisions it's subjected to a level of scrutiny by the audience that simply won't support those decisions. i.e. the suspension of disbelief becomes harder and harder.
hate watch indeed.
is it a safe guess that you're not much of a Talking Dead fan, either?
I don't watch that. It's like those old daytime recap shows of soap operas that my grandma used to watch on local news networks. A question, does anyone ever criticize the show on the talking dead, or do they just gush over it like it's the best thing on TV.
I like TWD, but it baffles me at times with its near-constant derpiness.

I didn't even know that show existed until just now. we haven't had cable for a decade, so i netflix or stream anything i want to see.
so it's a talk show about a tv show? man, AMC is squeezing ever penny out of this thing.
I've never seen that show, bitter. I don't have cable or netflix. me and the local bros get together once a week to watch WD. but I've heard it's a good show, including a recent bombing by Marilyn Manson that the host/ guests have had no shame in clowning him on. so it can't be ALL bad
Talking dead - I can't even stand that show in the ads in the commercial breaks. That and the ads for Comic Book girls make this show DVR mandatory.
You Know Who is back - God I hope they don't just repeat everything with that character yet again.
Yep
EMMYS! EMMYS!
Stop talking about how bad this groundbreaking, fantastic show is! It's upsetting!
The Governor can suck a dick. Gretchen Producers, stop trying to make fetch the Governor happen! It's not going to happen!
I'd prefer the Governor to be gone for good, but dug the episode. Kind of ended a bit quickly, so it'll probably turn back into a real mess next week.
I liked the episode, and thought that its portrayal of the Governor's re-humanization was more compelling and credible than the attempts to make him appear evil, particularly his unconvincing (if effectively shocking) freakout massacre at the end of the last season.
The older sister must be super horny cuz it was immediately apparent she was gonna get down with the colonel even in his current disheveled state.
Speaking of which, when are Rick and Michonne (sp) gona get..it...on?
disheveled? that's the post-apocalyptic Kris Kristofferson/ Nick Fury look! very big with the ladies
But ya know he had some stank ass. Chicks dig stank ass?
compared to zombies he smells like Irish Spring. that's gotta count for a lot
True story.
The other one was a dyke.
The Governor was very Snake Pliskin looking there for a bit. Kind of a tribute there I thought. That was a good episode; more of that and this show could redeem itself.
Shut up!, you stupid, fucking cunts! All you do is complain!, complain!, complain!
This show is very dull out of the city. They need to go back for guns again.
Worst episode ever. Except for a couple of new tank tops, including that hot southern wife chick from that special forces show with that President Palmer dude.
Right. WTF these two are going to allow one eyed Manson in their house. The first five minutes is unwatchable. I am seriously going to abandon this garbage.
Well, except for Zombie old folks home.
*waives white hanky*

But, yeah. Tara's got some big ole tittays.
Awful episode and completely disappointing in terms of the one before it. All of it done for another standoff with the Governor at the prison: meh; I was hoping the show could/would be a tad bit more nuanced.
Exactly. There was something under the surface of the last episode that could've been exploited to re-humanize the Gov. and change his course or the overall course of the storyline (or create another entirely). They just wasted it. Maybe I wasn't watching it closely enough (watched online), but his attack on his old goon made little sense as did the ones after. Then it was clear this was a power grab that brings us back to the prison. We didn't even get no lezzie luv scene. Meh.

BAH. I just want to watch the regular gang survive. That's about it. Damn you and your story arcs, AMC. Damn you.
Had a feeling the governor was gonna start governing again.
A few episodes back Darryl said the line "It ain't walker-science" and I almost kicked in the TV screen.
I wonder if like steam punkers, does zombie apocalypse fashion show itself oot side of comic-con?
Yeah, we typically call those people "nerds."
"Zombie culture" has beaten out everything in the mall ninja scene, toxic green everything. Green MOLLE clips, green reticles, green knife handles, green fucking boots.
Buncha jerkoffs.
yeeeeeeppppp...
i have yet to see anybody walking around with and eye patch and a pick axe hanging off their belt.
Nevermind, drunk.
Mid season pause - watching the catch up season marathon today reminds me why this show needs a hiatus, what a mess.
They need to take a time out.
JINKIES !
Spoiler Alert
OMG THAT WAS NUTS WHO HAD THE FUCKIN BABY WHY DIDNT RICK SHOOT STRAIGHTER AFTER THE BEHEADING HOW DID THAT DUDE NOT DIE AFTER BEING RUN THROUGH
FUCKING MITCH!
Yay on Hershell getting it! Everything he ever said was a fucking sermon.
Best episode yet! 8)
Much like the end of season 2, it looks like multiple groups from the prison have been scattered to the wind.
Loved that the two little girls saved Cutty.
Never knew that a zombie body could stop rounds from assault rifles.
Shhhh.
Solid mid-season finale. Glad to see The Governor go, his character had outlived its welcome.
Fuckin' nuts if Rick's baby daughter is really dead.
Show is back tonight to kick me in the ballz some more.
Still hokey, still dumb, yet I still watch it.
can't........stop...........watching......
[spoiler](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/Brookman/hershel_zps83035491.jpg)[/spoiler]
Keeps on getting lamer and lamer but I keep on watching.
That kid is the worst, but I liked the other aspects of the episode.
The 3 of them can make a crazy post Zombiepocolypse nuclear family
It's already been hinted at that the next episodes will be about getting the crack team back together.
I think Carl will still be shitting his brains out by the next episode due eating that pudding.
:D
I was thinking the same thing.
The Walking Derp
This show's a hate watch, isn't it?
Yeah, but still not Under The Dome level.
Okay now it is, that episode last night was unwatchable - in case you are smart and never watch this bullshit, apparently now everybody just stands still in a giant clearing waiting for a Zombie to hobble up.
No shit, that happened over and over and over last night. Horrible show.
I gave up watching after last season.
Hey
But Carol is back!
Edit: Maggie is trying a new accent this week.
Lawdie yes honey child
Nothing wrong with the show. For a bunch of lame fucks, you people sure know how to complain a lot.
Bye
Don't get lippy Charlie. Bob won't take that shit.
Fucking Abraham and Rosita showing up to save the day! This show may still have some good left in it yet.
Abe is my favorite gay man
This is the worst show ever made

The 'songs' are stupid.
Worst episode ever and it's not even over.
I liked that one last night with just Daryl and farm blonde.
Yeah - but why not spend the night in shelter, rather than burn it down ?
How old is that Beth girl supposed to be in super slow zombie TV show age (google says she is 28 in real life)? Also, this show is stupid and boring.
I think she was sixteen on the farm.
Aw, it ain't THAT bad. I'm pretty convinced that if they just fired the fucking lighting guy so it didn't look like an 80s soap opera, it would seem a lot more dramatic. Most tv shows are lit so they look like a tv show. Fucking terrible.
The last episode was fucking horrible.
The first two seasons were awesome. Since then the show is shit.....utter shit
And yet most of you idiots still watch it. How predictable.
The second season seemed like a half-ass attempt at the character development issues in the comic. Season 3 was pretty good with season 4's best episode being what happened to The Governor after Woodbury.

I found season 3 to be unbearable. The part that made season 2 rule was when that little girl came out of the barn
It looks like they are all going to meet up again on the road to sanctuary. I saw in the previews that sexy zombie killer army girl put on some clothes.
If we trimmed the "this show sucks but I watch it anyway" posts, this thread would be a page long.

All the complaining in this thread is tiring.

Sexy Army Girl wears some nice hoop earrings in the zombie apocalypse.

Hey, I didn't say I hate the show, but the Darryl/Beth episode was undeniably awful. You cannot argue with this fact. Hear me?
That was the best rated EP this season, taste maker
Sweet Baby Jesus on the Cross
Terminus indeed
Still complaining you goons?
seeing as how there seems to be a 1/16th success rate with this show - yes, they have a right to complain.
Thanks for pulling a number out of your ass. Definitely means there is a right to complain. Any more idiotic reasons?
Very good season finale. Loved Rick's psycho neck tearing move. Probably the best (half) season yet.
Fantastic finale! My 13 yr old son and I both jumped out of our chair going "yeah" when Rick bit the jugular.
There will be some ass kicking next season.
I watch this show nowadays with my thumb firmly on the fast forward button. This last episode had the least amount of fast forwarding.
How long until we can discuss without worrying about spoilers? A couple weeks?
You can post spoilers without fear of spoiling things if you use the spoiler button.
[spoiler](middle row, far right. looks like a radioactive symbol)[/spoiler]
I have a very good idea what the Terminus people are going to turn out to be. Even without knowing the comic there were a couple hints dropped in the show.
[spoiler]They're cannibals. They use those signs to lure food.[/spoiler]
You think that big grill pit with all that meat they're always showing is a hint. That and the corral thing with all the bones and skulls?
I didn't see any cattle.
some shitbag news website spilled the cannibal beans a couple of weeks back. Right at the bottom of an article I was reading.
I accidentally joined Twitter and Those People™ tweeted #Cannibals
Whatever the fuck that means.
Is that what they call a hashtag?
I have no fucking clue.
The Twitter seems silly.
I may have to accidentally un-join.
I missed that bones part.
(http://cdn.ebaumsworld.com/mediaFiles/picture/2303965/83987381.jpg)
Cannibals are dumb, this wasn't like the Road where NOTHING survived... There are forests full of food. Wtf.
In the comic they were portrayed as a small group that had come slightly unhinged.
They also ate Dale's leg.
I would have made the leg re-animated and it hopped around kicking at people.
Wait wait this is their correlation to the comic? They ate Dale's leg behind a house, I thought. I may have to go back and reread everything
In Marvel Zombies,
Zombie Bruce Banner got all pissy because he was hungry - so pissy that he turned into Zombie Hulk.
Zombie Hulk ate somebody's leg (don't recall who).
Satisfied, he turned back into Zombie Bruce Banner, which caused his stomach/midsection to split open because he had an entire leg in there.
now, waitaminute.
if zombie hulk eats a leg it stands to reason that his super hulk stomach muscles would turn even the largest of zombie hulk bites into mush pretty quickly.
so zombie Bruce may not necessarily split at the mid section.
Now we're getting somewhere.
Indeed.
Fuckers could have made it a 2 hr episode though.
Agreed.
Went by quick.
It did. They had a lot going on, and could have done it more justice by giving it another hour. It still delivered though, and looks like its going to be a real good season coming up.

Yessiree.
There was so much going on the commercial breaks seemed awkward.
I like me that shirt.
And you're correct about the commercials. I can only say, if they had added another hour to it, it would have flowed better - commercials less of a distraction.
Rick is total commando now.
What is that 'and Then' thing at the top and end?
Flashback to when the cannibals were "normals" in Haven and subjected to brutal rapage by a gang of outsiders. Basically what caused them to become cannibals.
Best season eva!!!
pretty damn good so far, nice cliffhanger too
Darryl has to go get Beth back. What if she likes being with the muscle car gang?
skipping all sense of hyperbole, but I have to say, outside of the first 20 minutes of the season one, epi 1 pilot, this thing has improved mightily. I almost bailed last season when it slowed down some. The prison season was a drawn out mistake..I know, I get it, had to happen if the story is to evolve anywhere near the books the mayor..blah blah..but it became a tedious watch. The violence was dumbed down..the darker issues cam off contrived and rushed..almost amateurish the last 2 season imo.
New writers?
They seen to be taking this away from "tv yawnfest about zombies for teenagers" to dark, creepy adult horror with a moving/traveling "set"...new atmospheres, better reveals. etc
I stopped paying attention toward the end of the governor's season.... season three maybe?
anyway - does this season have alot to do with the last couple? if I start watching will I be lost or just miss some minor references?
I really don't wanna slog through 1+ seasons of crud to get to the good stuff.
to me, the entire series is crud-free. there hasn't been a bad episode yet, and they continually ratchet up the intensity. I don't have cable so I have to drive to see this, and no complaints
Yeah, this season is much better and I am looking forward to this show again, last season got tedious
It does seem a bit better this season.
I'm pretty tired of the group getting split up all the time though. They need to give that a rest.

I personally think you may have to watch to keep up with the characters, and what they are doing and whatnot..it's a tough go, for me it was anyways..but seems this season may be the payoff.

I have a theory
Carol and Daryl were outside the hospital when shooting was going on with Beth and black kid. They rescue him, he tells them only way in is Carol. She plays injured and Daryl and kid go to get Rick.
Last two episodes were boring as hell.
THAT LAST EPISODE CAN GET FUCKED. I was flashing back to the farm house, it was so boring. The prison episodes were the 'best TV ever' by comparison.
Maybe it depends how much you like Rosaletta
Yeah the first few episodes were raw and brutal but the last two, kinda boring again. Dang. Had my hopes back up.

I liked the last two episodes except for the hot Hispanic chick boning the ginger asshole.
The ginger guy was fantastic in Band of Brothers. Just sayin'.
He and that girl threw me for a long time with their military background and vehicle. I kept thinking their costume design was a really cheesy attempt at military attire, then it started to make sense in the last episode. All those revelations kind of tied everything together for me in an otherwise lackluster episode. Mind you, I tend to like the slow episodes from previous seasons, but only when plot lines and characters deepen.
The ginger guy was fantastic in Grosse Point Blank. Just sayin'.
How about the Ambulance scene? Pretty awesome and unexpected.
I am sorry but the ambulance would have landed upside down. Just saying.
I can withhold my disbelief with the zombies, but not defying physics so poorly.
Agreed.
They showed it start to flip.

Not surprising. They also have a popular video game (by tell tale games [sp?]) that also takes place during the events. Some of the earlier parts I saw had Glenn and Hershel before the main cast found them. Really story driven adventure, rather than a tradition action game.

The games are excellent
Just caught up with last episode. Did not see that coming. So brutal.
I saw it coming....thanks to the Walking Dead fan page. Assholes.
They just showed the episode where the van fell of the bridge.
I'm pissed off all over again.
Damn, that episode last night gave me the sads.
Weird episode........nice to see everyone again though
notice how all the dead people talking to him in the bedroom had never turned?
The more I think about it, this might be my favorite episode. The show finally made me care about something.

This show just lost the homophobe demographic.
I was really feeling this last episode. Not only was there a cool aura of suspicion as they started to open to the possibility of this new community being a safe place, the direction with the videocamera interviews was really cool. Great episode, haven't enjoyed the show this much since this season started back in the fall.
Season finale (March 29th) will be 90 mins long
Man, last night's episode was just a waste of time.
Yeah - what up with that?
you guys have absolutely no appreciation for the set-up episodes. go do some whip-its
Actually I don't remember any of it cause I was oot of my gourd.
That's 2 set-up episodes in a row.

Yes Ma'am
Dunno, I'm really digging the last few episodes. To me, there is MORE tension as the group tries to adjust to a whole new dynamic. And Carol is cracking me up, playing the sweet domestic bimbo. Her monologue to the kid was pretty intense. The only bummer to me is that the writers still seem to need to include an OH SHIT ZOMBIES moment, which is getting a bit hackneyed.
Her speech to the kid was fucking great.
I would've just punted him over the wall and blamed it on the weird son of the lady in charge.

Too gruesome deaths in that last one.
So, I guess they are going to take over Mayberry from the innocents for the remaining episodes - sexy blondes husband going to get killed and whatshername will flip out and shoot at people from the tower - and then Mr Super Ultimate BadGuy will show up at the last 10 minutes of the season - wait til they get a load of me.

Do you mean what did Aiden(asshole son of Deanna) say to Glen right before he was killed? I thought he told him the others that had been killed(while out on runs with them) were killed because they didn't follow orders that Aiden or his buddy Nicholas had given them.
I gathered it wasn't because of the walkers, but because they weren't doing what Aiden and Nicholas told them to do.
Not sure though, kinda hard to tell.

Friend of douche: "It's what we do - we leave people behind." Runs away.
Douche to Glen: "That's what really happened. The four people died because we left them, not because they didn't follow protocol."
/paraphrase
Actually Aiden confessed to Glenn that he and that other douche (the one that got Noah killed) abandoned them.....that's how they died

Just caught the last episode, very good, love the juxtaposition of 'normal' life in new surroundings and epic Zombie killing otherwise.
Never thought, but Carol is by far the best character on this show now, fuck, she is good.
Very good season finale. I think the Wolves will make a formidable adversary next season.
Morgan is a bad-ass now. So is Glen. And both Carol and Rick are bonkers.
Glen has always been a badass.
Morgan is a jedi, and I am curious to know how he became that way
Glen is a fucking pussy in the new zombie reality. Dude tried to kill him and when he gets the upper hand he shows mercy? Fuck that shit.
I thought Glen is now a (walking) dead man walking. didn't he say to the dude "now I'm gonna die because of you" right before he couldn't pull the trigger? he had two (or more?) zombies on his ass before they cut away from him, only to appear out of nowhere to beat holmes down a little later. he would've at least gotten bit, no? if not, that would make the van landing seem plausible by comparison
I agree Priest....it was daylight Glenn is pounced on by Zombies, then cut away and when we come back it's dark and Glenn is ok? I want satisfaction to know what happened.
I have a feeling we'll get the explanation flashback at the start of next season
I like when JakeO(+> and Ez show up to remind us how cool they are because they read comic books.
Jor El, Preacher by Garth Ennis. If you want, ill see if VonZ will send you the copy of the first volume. That's a comic book you should read.
Preacher started out great, a breath of fresh air in the comics world. Didn't like Ennis' run on the Punisher so much, what was that other one he did, Hitman? That wasn't too bad.
Kinda lost interest in all that stuff after a few years, unfortunately.
Im not at all into superhero stuff, unless it's like Hawkeye, or Deadpool... Mostly because they're relatable, and flawed.
(http://cdn.ebaumsworld.com/mediaFiles/picture/883100/84534174.jpg)
They couldn't just throw a few Molotov cocktails? Sheesh.
Agreed.
A nice big fire.
Don't be foolish. They burned up pit zombies a couple of seasons back. They survived.
Hmmm... I must have been sleeping through that episode...
this show lost me during season 2
at the beginning it was cool but it soon got boring as hell
group gets attacked by zombies than moves on then gets attacked again and so on
there are way too many cool shows nowadys so i don´t waste my time with this one anymore
S6ep2 with the wolves was stellar. All Morgan and Carol.
[spoiler]Morgan letting those dudes go was bullshit. One with a newly acquired gun... [/spoiler]
I may well be in the minority, but I am/was sick of the demure housewife façade that Carol was hiding behind. Glad she's "out", but I'm not a big fan of her character anyways. Seems like low hanging fruit. I will say this week's episode was their best in quite a while.
Also, I'm really hating "Talking Dead" lately. Seems like all they do is pander to their audience, no real insights into anything, and whenever they say they're going to give you a "behind the scenes look" at something, it's about 30 seconds long. Not much substance(big surprise, considering their audience) but I do like Chris Hardwick's standup stuff, so he's the saving grace of that show.
If not for the wife, I probably would have given up on this series a couple of seasons ago.
How you like them apples ?
That was not cool.

What the hell
I like to think they won't kill him off at all (this season) because everyone expects them to based on the comic.
You're Cool
Even though they relied a bit on people doing something stupid instead of obvious, I like this show again.
Yeah, this season has been really good so far.
so those were Nicholas's guts and he scooted up under the dumpster and all those dozens of zombies lost interest or what?
Maybe the smell of the guts made Glenn "not there" we shall see......in 2 weeks!!!! >:(
They are not Zombie guts though, whenever people had to sneak through Zombie crowds they used Zombie guts. Wouldn't human guts be an attractant?
If Glenn survives I am going to re-hate on this show.

Oh shit, good call....didn't take that into consideration.....unless he finds some close to him that were shot by him and uses their guts.
Idk I kinda hope he is alive, so they will start following the comics storyline then see how he bites it & how maggie deals.
The all-Morgan show was great, he's an actual actor in that messy British cast. I'm not sure they really explained his conversion to my satisfaction - this damn show.
The All-Morgan episode was really good. I'm glad it was all about him and the background on why he won't kill a person. Sad to see Tabitha go.
That evil clown from American Horror Story is a good actor....so was Tabitha
What's the deal with iZombie ?
Is she a zombie, or not ?
Its your typical buddy cop police procedural with zombies.
Dude became a ninja in like 9 weeks?
I like this season, and as much as I want to hate on a slowed down episode in what's been an onslaught so far, it was great. Really
But dude became a samurai in a couple of months?
Also, wouldn't the zombies get bored and wander off if they stopped standing on top of the goddam walls?
He seemed focused though...
How long will I have to do Kendo before I'm good at it? How long
until I become a black belt?
There is no set timeline for progression or rank in Kendo. How quickly you advance is primarily up to you. The more you put into it, the more quickly you can progress. How often you attend practice and the intensity and quality of your practice are the main factors in the rate of your personal progression.
Generally speaking though, at Spokane Kendo Club, it usually takes about 8 months of basic training before you can participate in matches and begin attending tournaments (if you choose to), and about three years to make first degree black belt.

Sucked. laughable writing, inconsistent plot (one walker could kill you, now you can kill hundreds!), plots rely on people doing incredibly stupid shit they would never do.
This damn show
Like how Jesus tied up catches up to and climbs aboard a truck which rolls into a river
Fuck this show, just awful.
My only complaint is that they didn't have Jesus grow a real beard before introducing him on the show?
Other than that, lower threshold of expectations has kept it an enjoyable way to pass an hour each week with the wife.
Nothing worse than the fake beard.

In the comic, things start getting fucking brutal again when Negan and the Saviors enter the scene...
They took along time to figure out trading supplies for their commando skills. Fine.
They will do something stupid during the attack next week, one of them will be taken hostage... They are always doing something stupid.
This season has been really fucking good.
If this were a film, everyone would be destroying it.
with that said, it's so hard to keep this thing developing "flow", as there are so many different directors almost every episode of every season. There are obviously good and bad, but lately, when the writing is just fucking bad it's horrible.
^^^ the art critic, wannabebrainiac, motherfucking boring, a person whom loves to read what they write - and think they are brilliant.
It's a t.v. show, and a bloody fine one.
Anyone recognize Paula "the red head" from the Sopranos?

Not at first.
She looked familiar. All I knew was that I had a visceral reaction to her - intense dislike. Good job acting I guess?
Interesting direction they're taking this Negan thing. Where was the other team that was only 10 minutes away? Preview for the next episode shows our group back at home in their gated suburb. I just re-read the series up until the next one coming out in April. So brutal. Things with Negan's group did not go so well in it. They're faring much better in the show. So far.
She was on Justified as well.
I thought this last episode was really good....not sure what is up with Carol, but hopefully she does like she does in the comics.
Eugene man!!! Ha ha

At this point in the comic Carol is long gone if I remember correctly. She was also no where near the badass she is in the show.
I really, really hope they don't kill off the same person as in the book..
So, does the show want me to like Negan? He's infinitely more interesting than dumbass Rick.
I'm thinking it could be 1 of 5 people that dies:
Glen
Maggie
Abraham
Rick
Michonne
Hoping it's Rick. Not a big fan. Glen would be the natural, if they followed the comic and that would also allow Maggie to move to the Hilltop, as per the comic. But they could reverse that, with Glen moving and Maggie dying.
On the Talking Dead they said it was a beloved character, and they also said it would allow for a new beginning, so I'm kinda leaning towards those 3, as I don't know that killing off Abe or Michonne would create much of a opportunity for a new storyline.
I dunno, I don't like how they can just completely change a character to suit their needs: Gabriel was a coward, betrayed the bunch, then suddenly he's Rick's go-to guy to defend Alexandria? Kind of insulting to the viewers. But it shows the creators can and will do anything they want, so they don't have to follow logic, or even be consistent. I kinda hate that about the show.
Agreed

The writing is horrible and forces the actors, some of whom are great, to do all the heavy lifting.
Its not that bad at all. Not sure what you expect, but there are a whole load of shit worse on TV than this. Was the ending cheap, yes, but overall it was a great season.
It was a great season, one of the best.

I highly doubt that Rick or Carl will be killed. I don't think they will have Negan kill a woman as it will make him seem weak. I'm hoping Abraham doesn't get killed because I really his character. It's a long shot but I'm hoping that Aaron is the one who gets killed.
Watch Maggie's face at 1:23

It's definitely not Rick or Carl. While Negan is beating the shit out of whomever (hoping Abraham at this point), he says something to his men to the effect of "If anyone moves, cut the boy's eyes out and feed them to his father".
Yeah, I know Negan said that about Rick/Carl, but the writers could wipe that away easily, either by ignoring it or writing around it.
Don't think Aaron qualifies as a beloved character, or Sasha, or even Abe and Eugene for that matter.
Thought I read somewhere they said they were going to take a severe left turn from the comics? Again, it can be nothing more than distraction and subterfuge.

Boy that was brutal

Fucking brilliant episode.
I wish Caorrrrl had gotten the axe treatment.
I am done with this shit show, stupid.
Are you going to watch the equally bad WestWorlds instead?
You people are fucking fucked in the head. First off, Walking Dead is fucking great, and secondly, Westworld is pretty darn cool so far.
Any more complaints and I'm going to lose it.
Disgusting! I've never been a fan, but that episode has turned me off to this show completely.

I was hoping that it would be Darryl and his stupid hair cut. Or even Rick, for being the worst leader of all time.
What a stupid idea for an episode - none of the main characters are allowed to speak! Only die! That scene with Rick and get-my-axe was pointless.
Lazy.

Ahh, no it wasn't.
You should just quit watching tv.
I thought it was OK, the whole "fetch my ax" thing was kinda dumb and drawn out, but other than that, I thought it was overall very grueling to watch. Which means the writers and crew did a good job, if it can affect viewers to the degree that it did.
Kinda sad to see Abraham go, as he added much needed humor and Rambo-esque aggression to the series, but whatever. The writers can always add another character when they want.
"Which means the writers and the crew did a good job"
I thought they did a shit job. The only reason you were so affected was because they went full tilt graphic. Lazy and lame.
I cringed a couple of times, but it was so over the top needlessly violent, I kinda detached. Was lame. What's his name's scalp stuck to the barb wire? We get it already. No limits!!!
All that seriously stupid monologing by what's his name is ridiculous. Over an hour of it if you put the two episodes together. Fuck that goofy shit.
There's nothing really that clever about pure shock value. It's the GG Allin of Television.
I guess I didn't think it was particularly graphic, or all that shocking. I've seen much more graphic wise, for me it's usually an atmosphere thing.
What it did, for me anyways, was get me more invested in what Rick and the rest of the group was feeling, the sense of helplessness and despair. At first I thought Rick would lose his hand, then that passed, and then I really thought Carl was going to lose his arm, and I was somewhat surprised when he didn't. So I guess I was that invested in it(when I'm usually not), where I actually figured they would just keep going, keep piling on the misery, maybe that's why I felt they succeeded.
Not giving it an A rating, maybe a B or B+. But I've not given any of the episodes an A rating, as my taste in zombie action runs more to the European genre.

For a show that does a lot of special visual fx, Carl's eyehole looks terrible.
Ugh, this damn show. Was it awful? My DVR is still recording it. Can't make myself cancel it just yet.
I really wanna punch your t.v.
It's ok, just kinda pop culture fodder at this point. I like to be included.

I'm really starting to hate most of the characters on the show. I wish they wish just kill off Maggie already. She's useless.
Yeah I can only presume they will kill off characters in the upcoming war which seems like the only trick the show really has at this point.
People love the Negan character and I fucking hate him. I hope they kill him with his bat which is clearly what will happen.
I'm ok with Maggie getting killed off now that she has that horrific haircut. The only thing that she had going for her was that she was hot and that's gone. The Mexican chick is the hot one now.
That weird lean thing that Negan does every time he talks drives me crazy.
The American version must suck compared to the CDN one.
Same with Wipe Castle apparently.

This show has been set to full hate-watch status.
The scene with the close ups of their faces... LOL
How seriously can a show take itself?
No way you are still watching this. The Ads are painful.
That's some horrible Television
Did I hear the term "Force Project" on last night's episode?
This is mainly a mercy watch at this point, and last night Im making my exit plan. I only watch because my gf likes it somewhat...
This is indeed a terrible show geared at I dont know what/who/where anymore...anyone involved in the production of this pile of shit is destined to never work on a film or series again, yet every other week they waltz these ponytailed morons out on a couch to pat themselves on the back.
