The Walking Dead [merged]

[DigitalFudge]

Finally saw the latest episode and I am LIVING for this show.


Don't know if I like season 1 more or season 2.


One thing I did like more about the first season were the relationships. It seems finding this fucking girl has sucked up all the air in the room not to mention the kid getting shot.

Now that he is alright, and hopefully the girl will be found in the next episode (With an explanation on where in the fuck she went) more character drama will go down

[FanofFiction]

I agree with everyone who is tired of looking for the girl. If she isn't found or abandoned next episode.... grrrr. Bored of that.

[Nomenclature]

I found myself sympathizing with Shane more than Rick before the dark stuff surfaced.

The show is so much different than the comics. . .it almost feels like a fan-fiction.

[bluedragon4]

I think they need to let the girl and her mother go or have the dead girl show up and bit the mother. This show needs something. The whole thing where Amy changed was really good. But now her sister is all angry and depressed. Season 2 doesn't have the same wow factor season 1 did.

[MawellEvans]

i heart glenn & rick

[AlmondMilk]

^ No, I went from being totally outraged at what went down with Otis...To swooning over Shane's shirtlessness and shaved head. (Dunno about any other steaminess but that was hot omg).

This was the strongest episode of the season so far. I loved that the characters had some downtime to discuss things. Maggie & Glenn <3. Lori and Rick's conversation about children growing up in a zombie infested world was very touching.

I really can't stand that child actor who plays Carl tho. He's terrible. Can they recast that kid, please? Ugh.

ps. I'll just leave this here:

Didn't they show the same scene in the beginning of the episode? Either that or I'm remembering wrong :/

I hope this next episode wraps up the Sophia thing within 5 minutes. :|

And thanks for the gif.

[aijalon18]

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs. But to me there is no justification for what Shane did. I dont find him hot and I can barely look at him anymore. What he did has made him completely ugly and beyond redemption imo.

Plus it's just annoying as hell for the overall story. As if this season wasnt already moving at a snail's pace, it's just gonna lead to more of this inner demon struggle bullshit and less actual progress of the story.

[mike1491]

^^ It's just a TV show; not worth getting that worked up over. Besides if he hadn't done it, neither one of them would've made it back with the supplies and the kid might have died. Sure, what he did wasn't "right" but when you're in the situation they're in you don't always have the luxury of doing "the right thing". When the world ends it's every man for himself.

[Mako247]

my thoughts:

Sofia, (the girl) will be found at the end of this mini-season
(it is only going for 6 epis then a break till feb with another 6)
She may be found with a group of people sorta like the farm group but more dark
or she comes back zombified

Carl after the deer talk and the events after i thnk he is not long for the show
(besides how long can kids be kept young over a three year filming cycle??)

Shane: he will get what is coming to him,

[AlmondMilk]

Interesting.

I was thinking that the zombies would've been attracted to the smell of Otis' flesh regardless (and that that would be enough of a distraction).

That's always a possibility. But I doubt that most zombies would go to him just because their sense of smell isn't that developed. They usually are attracted to sound.

Haha. That's probably on point with Sophia. Maybe by then she'll be a warrior princess capable of handling zombies on her own :/ And as for kids being kept young, if they have a 28 year olds playing high schoolers, I'm sure Carl and Sophia will be just fine playing their parts. Besides, the adults are getting any younger either

And I was again disappointed today. Next week looks promising. Maybe I just need to rewatch the episode? My friend said he was on edge the entire episode :| I wonder if I missed something? I normally do.

[FanofFiction]

Tonight's episode.... mediocre.

[rotary]

Daryl's trying to get some milf action started. Let's hope we DON'T go there.

[Anton98]

Who didn't see the last 30 seconds of tonight's episode coming?? I was barely able to stay awake, this show's downfall will be it being too slow. But yay for Merle coming back!!!!

[Mako247]

that thing in the hole
was i the only one who thought of the character from the goonies?

[Donat1]

You know it is a weird thing when you are getting some play in the middle of a hunt for supplies at the end of the world.

AMC, way to spoil the rather big news for next week's episode.

[Ram]

Boring episode. Best part = pulling bloated, fatty zombie out of the well. Worst part = yak, yak and more yakking between old guy and emo sheriff guy.

I still want to worship Shane for sexual purposes.

[FanofFiction]

It's a sad world we live in when I enjoyed last night's episode of Once Upon A Time more than last night's episode of The Walking Dead.

[Stoowii]

It's a sad world we live in when I enjoyed last night's episode of Once Upon A Time more than last night's episode of The Walking Dead.

I watch both shows as well. But imo they were about the same.

[FanofFiction]

Snow White literally kicked more ass last night than the whole Zombie Slaying Team... I guess I just expect more ass kicking on Walking Dead.

[DigitalFudge]

I guess I am the only who likes the drama in Walking Dead.


Action + Zombies = Typical.


To be honest I don't need to see another zombie for the rest of the season. I just want to see where these mother fuckers end up.

[Stoowii]

Okay, so I've caught up with this whole thread and with the series. I've recently started getting into Zombies this past year. I've watched all the "...of The Dead" movies by Romero and the 28 days/weeks later. The former reminding me of this series' introduction. I also loved Zombieville and Woody Harrelson's fine ass bubble butt playing in it. Can't wait for the interpretation of World War Z with Brad Pitt next year. Brad Pitt just doesn't accept whatever role, and I certainly didn't expect him to accept or play any Zombie-related movie. If it's anything like the book and with Brad in it, it WILL be good.

I've only JUST now caught up with TWD. Wanted to watch it since last year, but never got around to it. I've recently re-instated my Netflix account and saw they had the first season, so I had a marathon and loved it! Then I bought the first two episodes on iTunes and was all caught up by yesterday's new episode.

As someone in the first page mentioned, that poor horse! I watched through the end of the credits JUST for the AHA disclaimer that no animals were harmed! phew

Comments on the show; I love it. I'm in lust with Rick and sometimes Shane. I like how they keep it human. Someone on this thread mentioned it perfectly; Zombies are more of an afterthought and it's more about how people cope with an epidemic.

Last night's episode was pretty good. Can't wait to see how it turns out. For Rick's wife, I know you want to satisfy your sexual needs, but think about what you might bring into the world (in the show.)

Also, does anyone know where I can read/buy the comics? Reading this thread makes me want to read them more. It's like Manga, usually better than Anime counterparts.

[Stoowii]

1) Yes, I'd drink the water from the well as long as the zombie was no longer in it. Yah, right! What were they thinking???

2) Yes, I'd go out in the dark all alone to take a pregnancy test. Was the bathroom occupied??

3) The quiet moments like the one in the pharmacy make me nervous. In reality a zombie hoard could happen upon them so it wasn't believable to me.

1. Seriously. XD

2. That's the FIRST thing I thought as well. Where's the restroom!? Seems like she WANTS to get bitten. To make it more believable (and to cleverly use the dragging effect some new episodes seem to have), they should've had her knock to see if the inside restroom was occupied. Then, knowing it was, she took this approach. Instead, they gave us what they did and left us scratching our heads.

3. I thought for sure one would pop out in the pharmacy. XD

Also, a lot of people mentioned/asked how was it that the zombies weren't able to smell them being so close to them when supposedly they're supposed to be able to smell them fairly easy. The only situation I believed was the Daryl and T-Dog situation. A better explanation should have been given as to why they were able to hide so close to where the zombies were walking and weren't sensed.

[cumboy1]

Love it!#######

[Tadaa]

Just found The Walking Dead a few days ago on Netflix. I'd heard about the series but was reluctant to watch because typically I don't find that particular genre entertaining. Boy was I wrong. Just goes to show that a good story and a decent script can work. Now that I'm all caught up and have the DVR set for Sunday night's, I can sit back and hate Shane with the rest of you. I think his character is well developed and wonderfully flawed. Makes for a great villain.

[AlmondMilk]

Actually the hiding-under-the-car scene was discussed in "Talking Dead" The zombies don't have a heightened sense of smell or hearing. How can they, everything is rotting so as long as everyone was still and out of sight, they could hide..

The hearing is bad too? Isn't that kind of strange, though? Especially when they don't want to shoot, since the noise would attract walkers? Oh, and in the first season when Glen brought back the car with the alarm still going off.

Anywho, I thought about it. One reason why the season is going slow is because they're not in the big city....so now walkers are spread apart....There may be some that come in packs, but even then, it's not like the amount of walkers all over Atlanta.

With that being said, I enjoyed this week's episode. Poor Darryl! I would kiss his booboos to make them all better.

[FanofFiction]

This week's episode was fantastic! It really brought me back into the show. I loved it! Thank you AMC!

[Stoowii]

^Ha! I usually don't "hate" anyone unless they've done something to me but I can say I hated her today! Why the fuck would you shoot, making noise thus, jeopardizing everyone just for your own pleasure!?

[Ninja108]

Andrea...I won't feel bad if she becomes zombie food

[SuperNatural]

I hope they find sophia soon...but anyways I can't wait until next week!!!I look forward as to why there is zombies in the barn .

[Drugstore Cowboy]

I actually liked tonight's episode. its finally picking up a bit. Andrea really gets on my nerves on the show, and i think its funny because in the comic she was one of my favorite characters.

[Ram]

If they don't stop finding the girl or move on, I will just watch the show for Daryl. Shane is turning out to be a great character on the show. I kinda supported his argument to move on. Rick is taking everything too seriously. Talk about having a hero complex. Glenn is cute. No character development for T-dog. Kinda disappointing because he is the only black person there and I do believe he has a story.

Andrea, what the fuck?. If I was there, I would have climbed up the RV and kicked her dumb ass down. And the fact that she got over it fast just pissed me off.

Where are all the badass female characters? Laundry, cooking, crying, pissing on pregnancy tests in an open field.... it's a zombie apocalypse in the 2011, not in the 1890s.

[FanofFiction]

I imagine there are zombies in the barn for the same reason there were zombies in the basement of the apartment complex at the beginning of Dawn of the Dead (1978). Some people have a hard time killing family members and close friends, even if they are already dead. Plus the old man did say he believes there is going to be a cure... nature's way of correcting itself?

[tommy_2_0_0_0]

1. Andrea needs to have her ass kicked. At least two people told her not to shoot, but she did it anyway. She is just one fuck up after another. I'd shoot HER in the leg and leave her for the walkers.
2. It's obvious the old man doesn't want them there. Take a hint and leave.
3. Burn the barn before you do.

[AbnormalDann]

Only have about 2 of the comics so far so no idea if this is following the series, but I'm getting tired of Sophia being missing.

Find her alive or let us know she's dead. The thing that gets me is they could have just shown us a scene of her alive or dead to let us know.

[DigitalFudge]

Andrea needs to go back to washing clothes.

[Spiff]

The season has be so Zzzzzzzzzz. It's the polar opposite of last season.

Excellent point I had not thought of that. My feeling was why doesn't the ole man just burn the barn down since it's not as if he will ever use ut again; but now I think you may be on to something.

[AlmondMilk]

Plus the old man did say he believes there is going to be a cure... nature's way of correcting itself?

I guess in his mind those people are still living? If there were a cure, I'd doubt it would bring those people back to life. It would probably work on someone who's been bit but still alive.

Only have about 2 of the comics so far so no idea if this is following the series.

I believe the creator said he's not going to follow the comics just because he'd like for the show to have it's own...thing...or something.

I have a feeling that the hunt for Sophia will soon end. Just a hunch.

Does anyone else watch "Talking Dead," the aftershow discussion?

I watch Talking Dead once in awhile. I usually skip it and watch it during the weekend when I have time, though.

[FanofFiction]

I don't think there would ever be a cure for rot decau and death either. If a zombie cure ever appeared in zombie genre I think it would have to be administered after a bite before the victim actually died.

I don't think the old man sees it that way.

[AlmondMilk]

What's up with that?!

Well, at least she's cooking... I mean, that's better than shooting down her own team mates. But if you think about it, even if they found Sophia, dead or alive, Carl is still recovering. Either part of the team begins to branch off, or they still stay on Hershel's farm. So even though the search for Sophia led the group to the farm, I feel like there are more things that are coming off from this. And now we see that there's a flock...errm...herd...party of zombies in the barn.

[AlmondMilk]

Damn. Shane's just fucking everyone.

And poor Rick. I just want to give him a hug.

[Drugstore Cowboy]

i actually liked tonight's episode. i finally felt like it's picking up. although i didn't expect shane to fuck andrea. that so did not happen in the comic, lol.

[Stoowii]

I think Shane can sometimes look ugly as hell (long hair) but I like men whose head is shaved or completely bald. When Shane shaved his head, his sex appeal (imo) went through the roof! I think it was hot the way Andrea groped him. I wished it was a dude that had done it though, preferably Jimmy (Hershel's kid). The other males are unattractive, with the exception of Glenn and Rick, both of whom are already taken. Jimmy hooking up with Shane or maybe even Daryl would be good, not only to satisfy my needs, but it would certainly spice up the series as they are doing a great job of showing real-life issues (i.e, Lori's pregnancy). Showing a character turn to extreme ultimatums would bring another real-life issue come to light. He can't really get off with family, Glenn has Maggie, Rick has Lori, Sophie's mom is older. The only other option would be Andrea, but she's bitchy as fuck. He doesn't even have to be gay, Jimmy would really just want to satisfy his hormonal needs?

I think it's picking back up. Can't wait for next week, though I thought today would be the finale.

The only problem for me was when the lady that took the momma chicken from its chicks and broke its legs so they wouldn't be able to get away from the walkers. The "no animals were harmed" disclaimer is found in nearly every episode (even in some where no animal is harmed), but it was missing today. I'm hoping they just forgot cuz I would hate to think those chicken's legs were really broken, though I doubt it.

[Ninja108]

Maybe it's the animal lover in me but I was more bothered by the chicken getting its legs broken than the people who have gotten eaten the past couple of episodes.

[Ram]

I love this episode. The last scene between Lori and Rick.... brilliant. I dry-heaved when Andrea and Shane had their moment.

Don't view it if you know you can't handle it. Not sure if real though.

They had some pretty explicit crotch grabbing in last night's episode.

That HAS to be real. I'm trying to look but I can't find anyway of how it can be faked! Oh crap, Sunday can't come soon enough!? Maybe that is why they were running in that one sneak peak!?

That's the scene that stirred my interest the most. I actually rewinded it a few times!!

Not surprising at all. At least maybe now the show will get interesting, although it did pick up a little bit in last night's episode.

Oh yeah, I ran that scene in the truck back and fourth a couple of times and felt this warm feeling in my crotch
