Re: The Walking Dead

Lol, I realize that, but when you literally KNOW how a show ends, and then allude to things to come... I dunno, I just want to not have ANYTHING revealed, otherwise what's the point of discussing? Now I'm sitting here KNOWING to look for some human conflict, instead of just wondering if it could happen and maybe still being surprised. I just don't want people who know the direction this series will go coming in and saying multiple things along the lines of "oh trust me, this will not go how you are saying it will"... let me figure that out on my own dammit!

I don't blame you at all for feeling that way, but

Spoiler

Once we saw that Rick's wife is with his parter from on the force because she thinks he is dead......wouldn't that cause conflict? Unless Rick doesn't care that his parter is plowing his wife and playing daddy to his son. I know I wouldn't be happy and you wouldn't be either. LOL!

Did anyone else notice that his wife is Sarah from Prison Break? Very nice.

Haha, there's already been foreshadowing of human conflict. I don't see how you couldn't expect that since zombies are too two dimensional to ever be a constant and evolving threat over the course of the series.

Romero tried to evolve the zombie a few times with Bud in Day and the gas station zombie in Land......I would not be surprised to see zombies evolve over the course of this series later on. I could be wrong since this probably follows the comics.

Re: The Walking Dead

If AMC can make a subject matter about ad men into an award winning series after finishing what will likely be it's most successful season yet, I have absolutely no doubts that this show can and will last a very long time.

Last night was a very gripping episode. Some emotional, some cool moments and some HOLY CRAP moments.

Spoiler

Who was the zombie with no legs crawling in the park? Did I miss somewhere where they showed what happened to her or did Rick just want to end her misery?

Either way, that was a very powerful scene to me.

Re: The Walking Dead

I was surprised to find a few moments in the show to be genuinely scary, a feat which is pretty rare for me nowadays. In the hospital at the start and then later on in the house at night when the car alarm went off. Wow...very compelling show!

Re: The Walking Dead

it was generic zombie material really. That's fine for the first episode, but they'll obviously have to expand on that if they want to keep this series going, so I'll stick around. AMC is legit with their shows, and it was done quite well. The gore and zombies look better than in some hollywood movies.

Seriously, I was blown away by the quality of the zombies, ranging from long dead to recently deceased. The zombie in the park is mindblowingly awesome.

Zombie-tastic: 'Walking Dead' ratings huge

AMC's The Walking Dead premiere ratings are enormous: The 90-minute Halloween night premiere delivered 5.3 million viewers.

That's the largest audience for any cable series premiere on any network this year.

It's also the highest premiere numbers for any series in AMC's history.

Re: The Walking Dead

I thought the show was awesome. Even my mom, who hates gory and scary movies was drawn in by the storylines built into it. Afterwards she said "I can' believe I am drawn to a series about zombies."

No story about who that was. Just someone Rick runs into early in the episode. He returns later to end its misery.

Re: The Walking Dead

A question for anyone that has read several of the comics (from the beginning - and the only question I will ask any comic readers). Please place answer in spoilers to respect others.

Producers have said they want Walking Dead to rival The Simpsons in series length. Robert Kirkman says he has ideas for 250 issues in a comic book series that has not even reached 100 yet.

How many issues of the comic did the pilot episode cover?

Re: The Walking Dead

Well, then, how could you NOT expect human confrontation after that, DDW?!

Haha, there's already been foreshadowing of human conflict. I don't see how you couldn't expect that since zombies are too two dimensional to ever be a constant and evolving threat over the course of the series.

Alright, you know what, all three of you can go to hell!

Lol... jerks.

Re: The Walking Dead

i have all 6 hard cover books of The Walking Dead its pretty close to the book but Rick never went inside the Abrams...i like the pilots version since it was more dramatic when he turned that street to see a wall of zombies

in the book the zombies were all over the tank just hanging about and its a different plot from the pilot..

im guessing that the six episodes this season covers all of book one...

Spoiler

the book version you dont see the tank when he goes to the city with the horse you see the tank later on when he goes back to the city to get more guns...

Re: The Walking Dead

AMC has the best shows on tv. Why are people worrying about how long this concept will last? The first episode was one of the best pilots I've seen.

Agreed. This show had me at h.....

Spoiler

head shot!

I also, agree that Zombie's aren't the main focus. I haven't read the comics so I'm not revealing anything- I think the conflict surrounding the survivors is going to be the main attraction. Similar to that of 28 Days Later and Dawn of the Dead or any other movie that involves zombies for that matter. There can only be so many brainless, zombie killing scenes before they get old. But, the possibilities of conflicts between characters are endless. That why (imo) this series is going to live or die by the struggles and differences between the survivors. And if they are engaging enough then I could easily see this lasting 4 or 5 seasons.

Re: The Walking Dead

I love the show. I can see this show lasting for how ever long they want.
I honestly jumped up in anxiety in the last scene and stood up till he got in the tank.

Zombie kill of the week: When Rick shot the zombie deputy through the fence.

[Brandwin]

Awesome show! I am hooked.

I was thinking the below as well.

BTW...

Spoiler

... was anyone else outraged at Rick's slut wife and douchey friend macking each other? Yah sure, maybe she/he thought Rick was dead, but come on! Too soon! I'm curious if we'll find out more in regards to them having an affair, especially after Rick and his buddy having that in depth talk about women at the beginning.

Oh, and if you've read the comics and know what happens, don't respond please.

Re: The Walking Dead

Freaking incredible. Don't even think I can describe what I just saw...jesus that was awesome.
