Not sure. I got a Walking Dead app and it had all the issues. What's the difference?

No difference, I was just buying the actual comic books. I am going to collect them now. Bought issues 1-20 of "Walking Dead Weekly"...cost me $96.14.

I could buy the coppendium or TPB, but I would rather collect the comic.

He had a top of a metal fence GO THROUGH HIS LEG!!!

I dunno about you, but that Herschel is a miracle healer of some sort.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 2)

You know, I get what this show is trying to do. I understand the character development is supposed to be as much of a draw as the zombie action, but now it is just getting ridiculous.

All of a sudden minor characters are starting to develop small, trivial little side stories to focus on. These are all insignificant to the story and do nothing but take away from the action.

The worst thing now is the tease of action, only to be quickly brought back into the farm setting where some ridiculous little plot is being staged.

I still enjoy this show, and I know that every second of pure zombie mania in each episode would quickly become dull, but there really needs to be more going on.

Hopefully the writers can get it together before the ratings start to drop.

I actually thought the most recent episode had a lot of action and gore in it.

The scenes where Rick was fighting off three zombies on top of him and when shane cut himself and let the zombie lick his blood while he stabbed it in the head, grossed me out a little.

And I wouldn't worry about the ratings because it's the highest rated cable show on Sunday night and typically, the next highest rated cable show gets half the ratings TWD gets.

Its not that far-fetched to believe he could still be somewhat mobile. The human mind is stronger than the human body and can be very convincing. Randall struggled plenty trying to get out of his "shackles" to kill the zombie woman coming after him. He was being helped by Rick on the way to the car before saving Shane.

I see it as the will to live, and mind over matter. You can choose to be cynical or see it as unrealistic, and we can just leave it at that.

You are right though....Hershel is a "miracle worker" he said so himself in the bar with Rick and Glen regarding saving Carl's life.

It didn't bother me that much, either. Seems reasonable that the imminent threat of being torn apart and eaten alive by zombies would give you a bit of a short-term adrenaline burst.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 2)

Here's somethin that bothered me....how in the hell did the Walkers in the building not get riled up by the gunshot from Shane's attempt to kill Randall?...or all of the noise from Rick and Shane fighting? ....or even Randall's desperate plees when he mentioned he knew Maggie?....waiting on the wrench through the window to start the attack? b.s.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 2)

They probably didn't hear the talking/fighting. Though we couldn't see inside,maybe they did get riled up by the gunshot and just didn't get out until the window broke. Even then could've been soundproof glass.

Why? He proposed a logical counter argument, te fact that maybe we couldn't tell if they were ruled up and they had no way to get out until the window was shattered.

These are zombies, stop giving them credit for being too clever.

Here's my scenario.. Those zombies are in a room away from the parking lot. Rick and Co. start screaming at each other.. which get the zombies attention. They walk towards the voices, which can be towards a wall or a locked door. Then the gunshot goes off and more zombies come.. They're probably walking around trying to look for a way to get to the "noise" (Remember these are zombies, its not like they hear the gunshot and immediately think.. "Oh! People!!! Nom nom nom..")

Finally Shane throws the wrench through the glass, which then gets the attention of the zombies of the newly directed noise.. That's when they slowly come out. If you notice, it was only the 1 big guy at first.. He was probably the closest to the window when the wrench went through. Once he went through, the other zombies slowly followed.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 2)

Started reading the comics... it's crazy just how quickly the comics move compared to the show.

They are making me enjoy the show even more. Everything feels so... fast-paced in the comics. There is no time to develop any of the story in the comics. IMO they've done a better job so far.

But I'm only up to issue 5.

Well done. Very plausible scenario. I like it.

Yea...I bought issues #1-20 of the comics (online) earlier in the week, but they didn't get here this weekend. So I went to my local comic shop and bought issue #94 of the comic, and The Walking Dead Vol 1 and 2 of the paperbacks.

I figure what I will do now is collect the comics, from the back-issues to the most recent issue, and read the volumes up to the most recent issue. Should keep me plenty busy through to season3.
