Has anyone been watching this show? The Walking Dead is based off the comic series of the same name. The guy who made the TV series is the same who directed Shawshank Redemption. For a TV show about zombies I am very much impressed so far. Its series premier was Halloween night, and the 4th episode aired just last night. I'm also impressed with the gore and what they can get away with. Hell, the opening shot of the first episode was the main character putting a bullet through a zombie-child's head (what was she, 5-7 years old?). Six episodes for the first season (2 remain) with 13 episodes for Season 2 next year. For anyone interested, The Walking Dead airs on AMC Sunday nights at 10 pm EST (for people in the States at least).
Who has been watching, and your thoughts?
-
the walking dead is showing on SyFy over here ,and the lead actor is Andrew Lincoln who can also be seen in numerous films and drama's over here including the movie Love Actually as he is a brit .

Ive recently started watching this . Its very intresting and you can see how regular people react to a catastrophy of that magnitude not just the heroes of a two hour movie. I really like it and hope its around for a while.

I been watching it since the first episode, i always like zombies films, but this is the first show and im quite impressed too, like it so far and im gonna keep watching it!

SPOILERS AHEAD
Did anyone catch Sunday's episode? The last 10-15 minutes were intense! It was sad and surprising to see Amy die so soon in the season, although when she got up to use the bathroom I knew she was done (although I now found out that also happens in the comics). Ed died as well, he had it coming. The attack on the camp was well done, and I thought it got better when Rick and his group showed up. For the previews for next week, it showed Jim saying something like "Don't tell anyone" so I'm thinking he may have gotten bit during the attack.
The people that died so far:
Amy
Ed
Random guy (bitten around shoulder area)
Random girl (ambushed by 2 zombies)
Random black guy (zombie shown eating him)

Just a heads up, new episode tonight at 10 pm EST, episode 5 "Wildfire".

Anyone been watching Walking Dead lately?

I watch it all the time. One of the best, pull-no-punches, handlings of a done-to-death genre. The adaptation between the comics and the screen is pretty remarkable! Kicks a zillion kinds of ass and handles the human element extremely well with all the various reactions to the crisis, the way each survivor does things and the dynamics between the characters. Can't get much better in television. I'd love to see the comic series DMZ done the same way.

Any ideas on what Jenner whispered to Rick from Season 1?
My thoughts - SPOILERS
In the comics, it is established that if you die, you come back as a zombie. It doesn't matter how you die. As long as your brain is intact when you die, you turn. Basically - everyone's infected.
Therefore, its possible thats what Jenner whispered to Rick in Season 1. During the bar shootout at the end of Episode 8, Season 2, Rick kills both Dave and Tony. He got one shot off Dave, which was a headshot, but it was how he killed Tony. After killing Dave, Rick spun around and shot Tony once in the upper body, close to his arm. Shot him again in the stomach area. By this time, Tony was already falling. Rick takes a few steps toward Tony and then comes the headshot. Some say it was to make sure he was dead, I think it was to prevent him from turning.
The bar scene was well done though.
-
Hmmmm maybe it was force of habit? You know. Double tapping is the best way to make sure the walker is dead. Good point tho.
-
Lucasclones got me hooked on this one. Watching it in HD sure does make it better too imo. It is the one show that is set to record on my DVR.
-
Hey all.
I want to remind everyone that amctv.com starts the Walking Dead webisodes tonight.
-
One awesome thing is dish network folks can watch amc online. Thank the maker.
-
Love this show. The new season is well on its way and pretty exciting so far. The look and feel of this TV series is on a very high level.
-
Last night's episode..... wow. Intense, guys, intense.....
-

Agreed. Probably the best episode so far and I've seen them all.
-
I was sad to see t-dog go. Not so much for Lori though. I had figured that the baby was to be a stillborne zombie and would have infected Lori causing both of their deaths.
I never read any of the comics so I don't know what is coming which makes things more intense.
-
I am so behind on this. Dish Network, my TV provider, was having some battle with AMC, but now they got it worked out and I get to get back to this. I am anxious to see that gal Samurai.
-
So far Michonne has had less lines than Boba Fett and her role has been quiet so far. I sure hope to see and learn more about her.
-
Anybody still watching this show?
I can't get enough of it. Love the Apocalyptic stuff.
Of coarse being in an all female house and having many young-lings around I have to isolate myself in a sealed room to watch. Me and the dumb dog.
After what Rick's group has been trough this season I feel sorry for the Terminus cannibals. Any-shippers got ideas on where Tyrese and Carol and Beth may be?
Don't know what to do with myself tonight.

Last season could've been told in probably half the episodes, imho. Nevertheless, the final episode was worthwhile. Pretty intense. I haven't read the comics yet, but I think the people of Terminus will quickly realize what it means when you mess with Da Ricktator.
I've got a similar householf (my g/f and two little girls), so I've got to watch TWD well past sunset. One time my g/f was sitting next to me on the couch, playing Hay Day, when a couple of zombies (note: not 'walkers', those are the behemoths that stomped on Echo Base) came into view, saying their scripted lines: "huuuugggghhh.... aaaaggghhh". My g/f remarked: "Oh, I hear they're playing the same cassette tape again." ::)
No clue where Tyreese and Carol (and Judith) are, but I've got this feeling Carol's going to be the next 'lead' to bite the dust. There really isn't much left for her, you know.
I don't know about you, but I sure am gearing up for Game of Thrones S4! ;D
Off topic: funny I should find you posting at this moment. I just got back from the work bench. Working on a pair of Thrawn figures that you digitalized years ago!

I've steady enjoyed all the seasons, even the slower episodes. I liked this season's venues featuring back stories into the likes of Michonne and Daryl Dixon. The few episodes featuring the Governor were brilliant especially when he took out Martinez and his goons to take over the camp. By the way never read the comics either and probably won't.
I never try to guess who's dying on the show next. I'm almost always wrong, except for Hershel. I saw that one coming from a mile away. I have a feeling that Tyrese and Carol are already at Terminus (in the stacked containers). I'd like to see some flash-back story lines (a-la Hershel) including Shane, I miss that guy.
My wife is terrified of the show she doesn't even want to hear it. She's highly susceptible to nightmares... (chicken).
Was that the Thrawn with the SS style trench coat on? I haven't done the poorman's customs for a while. There's a fella over at Yak that's doing them now, (localgotal). He just did a Jaxxon and that's where I started mine.
Since there is no "Dead" tonight I've actually been on the bench today too. Got some "Rebels" contest stuff going on, an un-named Mandalorian and a special project that I hope to reveal soon.

I have been steadily taping these episodes, but just haven't brought myself to watch em yet. I hate getting caught up in something only to have to wait for another season. I kinda feel what way with GOT after reading the books and being so far ahead now. Who knows though, there is really nothing on TV I am following now.

Yeah, that's the one. Or two, actually: one using the Vogel body and one using the German motorcyclist body. I really liked (and still do) that work of yours and have also got Rik Duel and his gang planned. Localgotal does an equally great job and he sure emphasises Hasbro's lack of vision.

Looking forward to seeing these two customs.

I like to watch TV the old fashioned way, one episode at a time. I always catch TWD on Sundays with the premier episode and have no problem waiting for the next season. The show is so intense at times I actually welcome the break. I also like the mid-season break so that Christmas isn't disturbed by chomping zombies.
I don't follow much else on prime-time television. I tried Agents of Shield but found it to be boring. I refuse to pay for the premium channels so I don't have HBO but I did get the first season of GOT on DVD. I still haven't watched it. I tried to watch it once and got through the first episode, but was some what unimpressed. I'm gonna give it another chance sooner or later.
