The Walking Dead

[CMH]

Alright, this was a great show and everything, but there is one moment that is bothering me and by looking at other forums, is bothering others as well.

Spoiler

Rick and the Tank moment. He went from almost killing himself to magically finding a tank latch and being saved. I don't know there is just something about that scene that just seemed...too rushed. Should have developed it more, maybe...but it just kinda seemed to come out of no where.

I've learned to accept that film and television will always find an escape hatch for the hero.

It seems bush league but it isn't unrealistic by much. He was under the tank and there should be a latch. Better than those moments in shows or movies that the hero or villain magically disappears from a room as the opposers close in.

I don't know about you guys but, I loved the light switch story at the beginning. I kept looking at my girlfriend like "now you know what's up when I'm following you turning off lights" and she knew it was spot on.

CMH - Your post should have spoiler tags.

Not this again...

After an episode airs I'm not going to spoiler tag my posts. I don't see the point and I don't do it for other shows.

Ha...seems like it.

Here we go...


If you're talking about something that has happened in the most recently aired episode, you do not need spoiler tags. If it has happened, it has happened and therefore you can talk about it openly without spoiler tags.

If you're talking about previews for an upcoming episode, or have insider info from an article somewhere or any other thing that may spoil an upcoming episode, it needs tags.

Hopefully people use common sense when entering threads. I didn't watch this until Monday night, therefore I stayed out of the thread until...Monday night.

Brandon may have been more referring to the pointing out of a flaw in a scene or whatever that some people may not want to read

but yea anyway

How would you post about an episode that hasn't aired?

PLUS....my wife and I hate watching episodic shows(waiting for the next one)...so we wait until the entire season is available and watch it as much as we like.

While I will skim, just to get a vibe on a show and try and stay away from anything specific.....the SPOILER tags do make that a bit easier.

The pilot was "available" online before it aired Sunday night. I could understand using spoiler tags for that situation. Once its broadcast on Sunday night, I don't think the spoiler tags are necessary.

Re: The Walking Dead

Had no idea about this show until another forum put me on it; also didnt know there was a comic series which is gonna suck for avoiding potential spoilers from every angle but just wanted to chime in and say it is locked and loaded in the dvr for now on after just one episode.

Re: The Walking Dead

For those who follow the comics, did you know what was going to happen in the first episode or did the switch it up some? I'm sure the main themes stayed the same.

It did stay pretty close to the comics, the only major difference was the tank wasn't there in the when he got surrounded in Atlanta.

I get where you're coming from Knight, but this is a thread discussing the show and its happenings.

People should be able to openly discuss what is going on in every episode.

I know what you want to do and trust me, I've faced the same issue with other shows as well, but it makes very little sense to have a show thread where people are forced to use spoiler tags for episodes that have aired.
