It's my favorite show on TV. I love watching it! Sometimes I even think that it would be cool to live during a Zombie Apocalpyse!

Tonight's Season Finale when Herschel's farm got overrun was intense!!

Any other Walking Dead fans here? :)

[Barreldriver]

Shit, I missed the finale. Missed most of the second season for that matter, did see when the daughter was found in the barn and a few episodes after. Was really into the show til Full Metal Jousting came on and attentions switched. :p

[Contra Mundum]

They show the repeats fairly often.

It's probably my favorite show as well. Who was that dude with the sword who cut that zombie's head off? Another new twist to the drama. I guess I wont find out till the fall.

[Gaztelu]

I saw the pilot and I loved it.

Unfortunately, I have not watched the show since.

Apparently, the mystery figure is some African American woman who's an expert in wielding a Kitana! :rolleyes:

First six episodes of Season 1 are on Netflix too!

[Vesuvian Sky]

Just got done watching season 4's opener.

As always it looks promising. Interesting ending, looks like a new major problem may be coming their way.:naughty2:

[Vesuvian Sky]

Just watched the first parts of the 'Talking Dead' show (gives behind the scenes accounts plus has the creative team on frequently giving hints regarding what is to come).

Things are going to get rough. Real rough apparently. I can't wait. This is seriously the only show I watch on TV these day.

[Vesuvian Sky]

damn, an absolutely devastating episode of TWD! :cool:

Rick looked totally frustrated at the end when he had to deal with the walkers. Nothin' goes right in this world. And the very last scene was just stone cold nasty. Its shaping up to be an absolutely brutal season. :Bondage1:

[randomguy1235]

I really can't get enough of the show... :(

[Oneeye]

To be honest, I was disappointed with the season opener. It bored me for most of the way, and of course once it started to pick up it was over. Will watch the second episode tomorrow. I download it off of PSN.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.:naughty:

[Vesuvian Sky]

Not as interesting of an episode tonight but it had some interesting moments. Definitely some serious issues that some of the characters are going to face next episode.

lesson learned: zombie's gush blood pretty good when squashed by car tires.

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

These folks are all amateurs when it comes to fighting the undead.

First, you need to protect your eyes. If you stick one of these walkers and they gush blood into your eyes you're going to be ill and turn; goggles, use them.

Second, if you're out in the wilderness sleep in the trees. Nail in a board to a large thick branch then tie yourself around it so you don't fall off. You won't wake up to a walker standing over you if you do that.

Third, they figured out early in the season if you cover yourself with walker blood and guts they have a difficult time detecting you. Later it was clear you could just chop off their arms and jaws and walk about with them on a leash; the smell of the corpses hides your own smell from the undead.

Fourth, padding. I know it's Georgia and it gets hella hot but you need to cover yourself in case one of those bastards sneaks up on you and tries to take a chunk.

Fifth, when the horde of undead attacked the farm the members of the group didn't have to run off. Just hang out on the roof of the house. If those fuckers don't know you're around they just wander off. They're too far off to smell you.

The current issue with the fence (haven't see tonight's episode) is easily taken care of by creating spiked barricades all along the perimeter as a buffer between them and the fences, or you can just on occasion drive out there with a car and lead them away.

Sixth, from the start I said to myself they need to lock themselves in their cells. They know a natural death leads to becoming a walker also. What if someone has a heart attack at night? They'd turn into a walker and a bunch of people end up dead like last weeks episode.

All I'm saying is I'd do better job than Rick Grimes.

Why did he kick those people out of the prison and not pick up the hitchhiker? When you're out an about without a home the fewer people the better so you're not hampered but when you have a base the more people the better for scavenging; the more people you have the more territory you can cover more quickly. The more protection you have as well.

That hitchhiker thing threw me off too, he let all those people from Woodbury into the prison, but let that poor guy get eaten.

what specifically disappoints you?

[Acquisitor]

everything: the dialogues, the action, the logic of the actions, everything

it reminds me of the second season which was pathetic

[Vesuvian Sky]

it reminds me of the second season which was pathetic

in regards to logic, perhaps a critique could be made as to why they are not splattering themselves with 'zombie jucie' anymore in order to mask their scents from the zombies. It would seem like the obvious thing to do everytime they go out but I have also accepted that series writers side step logical things every now and then in order to continue the series (naturally) but also find all the different ways to get the characters into new situations.

can't really say too much for the dialouge I suppose. I think its decent but emphasis on the gore can over-ride such a thing.

[Acquisitor]

this show is just not the same caliber as lets say "breaking bad".. so compared to BB its just trash :\ in quality of logic, dialogues and the plot

BB though is a totally different world. writers for walking dead have to write differently due to the subjects inherent nature.

ofc its a different world, but the quality of dialogues is something that should be taken seriously

the walking dead sometimes has long annoying irrelevant dialogues, think of season two for example, it was a disaster, I cant believe I kept watching it :)

on the other hand, s03 was alright, especially with the governor who was a well thought through personality.

I think people watch the WD more for the atmospheric nature of the show plus the action scenes/makeup, and the overall premise. Dialouge could be worse really.

yes ok the atmosphere I understand, but its been going on for a forth season now.

the first season was brilliant, now it becomes way too repetitive imo.

survival in the post apocalyptic world is a nice thing to show ofc, but more variation is needed to make the show better.

atm they sit in this prison, they talk, occasionally they shoot some walkers and bury them, while sometimes they have to leave for a short while where they meet more walkers. And all the time they engage in endless dialogues about nothing.

they have to show more about the outside world imo, about how others survive in this world, new communities and so on.

they could also show how low people can fall under the right conditions, for example the government and his gang was a good example of that.

the show is definitely more cyclical in nature in that its an ebb and flow of violence, then introspection, relative periods of stablization, then collapse etc. so its very "patterned". this type of thing I find appealing so naturally the show draws me in more. it mirrors the rise and fall of various civilzations which I enjoy very much studying so its naturally appealing to me more.

'differet strokes' as the saying goes...

[Max Power]

I'd agree with Acquisitor...it's garbage. I've an avid fan of the comics and it just reached its 10 year anniversary and still has so much momentum. The show doesn't develop any of the characters practically. Rick is still struggling with really rigid and outdated ideas of morality whereas comic Rick long ago molded himself to this new world after the suffering they endured. It just seems too soap operay. In order for this to win me back, by the middle of this season they need to leave that god forsaken (and boring) prison like they did in the comics. That "on the road" part after the prison is what made them who they really became and we're still missing that. As well as the aforementioned lack of or delay in character development they hardly make any characters likable other that Darryl (who didn't exist in the comics).

That's why I haven't read the comic yet, as I'm sure it would lead to dissapointment. TV writers always do things differently then the comic versions of what they're replicating. One will only naturally be let down otherwise.

[Vesuvian Sky]

Well I have to say the last two episodes of the Walking Dead sucked pretty hard. But this one was pretty damn good. Let's just say, someone came back:

Finally broke from the jail stagnation.

[Rudel]

I only watch the Walking Dead because there's not much to watch. Utter crap compared to the comics.
No development whatsoever, stagnating plot populated with anecdotal crap. It doesn't play at all on the strengths on the universe, it's a huge waste of material.

This is the weakest season IMO but others got dissatisfied earlier. The obvious disappointment for yourself is reading the comic first. The show will never be as developed though or have the type of feats that a comic would since its life span by inherent nature is much more finite. The overall premise is still interesting though. It probably has 2-3 more seasons left to it.

[Acquisitor]

the governor is prolly the most/best developed character of them all..

[Vesuvian Sky]

^The guy who plays him is a pretty solid actor too.

Last 2 episodes have been pretty good. I especially liked the governor's return. He is seriously perhaps the most badass character on the series. It certainly has been my least favorite season as some of the episodes have been near boring. Its also loosing its atmospheric edge.

But yeah the gov episodes...pretty badass.

Yes, a text-book psycopath, he shows all the psycho traits.

Btw, I think Hershell and/or Daryl are gonna die in the text episode...

as long as the psycho survives :P

he is carrying this season on his shoulders imo.

who cares about the prison, about anyone in it, about that one legged man or that black sword warrior, they are all irrelevant when this psycho is in the series.

[Max Power]

I like the Governors return as well. I don't even care what's going on in the prison at this point. The Governor, while much more sadistic and brutal, is more like comic book Rick Grimes. He shifts his morality to adjust to this new world. Rick's still being a total pussy about everything and it just isn't in like with the character I loved reading.

yup, the prison with its one legged man, with the leader and his son is "so" boring. It's unreal how boring it is.

the governor has hijacked the show, and by doing so he saved it.

[Empecinado]

That's why the serie sucks...most of the episodes are pure soap-opera boredom in the prison, they use a exciting final to episodes to ensure that you continue addicted and they introduce some good final episodes to make you forget about all the other shit episodes. I prefer by far Sons of Anarchy, there all the episodes have a lot of action and some psychos Gobernator-style.

[Max Power]

And where the fuck did the music come from during "dramatic scenes"? They started that...this season? It's pretty gay.

[Rudel]

The Governor, while much more sadistic and brutal, is more like comic book Rick Grimes.
That's what I thought too. They should just kill all the "good guys" now and make it about the Governor.

The series turned all the major characters into flat and uni-dimensional bores (or just killed them before they could be interesting), while making the Governor (a character not that good in the Comics) pretty awesome. I think the acting is a big part of it.

[Vesuvian Sky]

OK so the first 50 minutes or so of this early season finale was alot of talking and this and that...


BUT holy shit!

The last 10 minutes were an adrenaline pumping slug fest!

I'm still tryin' to chill...

[Rudel]

Fuck me, that was the first episode that went accordingly to the comic books in like 3 seasons, and that was the first time I hoped the scenario would diverge.

[Acquisitor]

the governor :(

the one legged man old man is a good loss imo.

[Max Power]

Fuck me, that was the first episode that went accordingly to the comic books in like 3 seasons, and that was the first time I hoped the scenario would diverge.

Amen. Though in the comics it's Tyreese that bites it by having his head lopped off, I thought it was a much needed nod to the comics.

Great episode, and though I liked the Governor he had to go eventually. I'm hoping Hershel dying is Rick's "morality" dying, and he'll starting playing to the new moral order more making the tough decisions he should be making. In the comics everyone gets split up momentarily after the attack, with Rick and Carl on their own which I like that the attack ended in the same manner. I'm also hoping baby Judith was indeed gulped up by walkers and not magically saved by someone, since everyone was accounted for on screen and we never see anyone get her after the gun toting kids drop her car seat. This would also push Rick to where he needs to be.

Can't wait for the second half!

[Lábaru]

Each new episode the characters are flatter in personality and the best example is daryl, the death of Governor is a shame, could have been more interesting.

[SKYNET]

the last 8th part of the 4th season is so sad :cry2 it is very stress :picard2:

As long as Daryl is okay, I'm happy.

we'll see, he had a walker close at his back and then we lost the image, bitten?

yeah that scene that we had we didn't see what happened exactly, I hope he wasn't bitten :( :( Daryl should be alive.

[SKYNET]

Hershel :(

[Lábaru]

yeah that scene that we had we didn't see what happened exactly, I hope he wasn't bitten :( :( Daryl should be alive.

Only if it recover his rol as a tracker / ranger, if he will continue as a babysitter, I prefer him dead.

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

So sad.

My predictions:

I suspect the girl who shot the lesbian is the one who was feeding the rats to the undead and had that weird altar or whatever it was of a disemboweled rat that Tyreese found. "We have a psycho on our hands," said by Tyreese is called "foreshadowing," my niggas. In the comic book a six year old boy was a psychopath and hence my suspicion.

Daryle won't be bitten; that's absurd. He and Michonne will come across each other. They will come across the lesbian sister who wandered off at the end. She might try to make up for her less than zealous fight but she'll crumble and they take her in instead of killing her. The older sister will be killed by the walkers soon after she kills the Governor. She has nothing left to live for (this part I'm iffy on; she still has her sister but this woman is too traumatized to survive and find her sister).

The baby is dead because of those stupid kids leaving her like they did out in the open. Rick goes into a tail spin. Carl will blame him for all that has gone wrong; similar to the comic book. He'll point out if he had killed the Governor during their first and only meeting Judith would be alive and they still would have home. Carl goes back to having a stone cold attitude but eventually "comes back," so to speak, at the end of the season.

I can't think of anything else right now.

The show is better than the comic. The comic sucks.

We discussed this before on ABF and I'm just gonna have to say I'll agree to disagree. The comic is far and above better at characterizations than the show. What I will say is that the comic got a little silly at times. Particularly right now with Neegan and his saviors as well as Ezekiel and his kingdom, for those of you keeping up (we're at issue 116 spanning a decade!).

Andrea was written better, Lori was written better, Carl was written way better, Rick was written better and developed logistically, Shane bit it early as he should have, Tyreese was written better. It's almost like they created Daryl and sucked the awesomeness out of everyone else and just had him be this ridiculously mega awesome character who's like over powered.

last episode was pure genuis :p

A good comic book writer is a rarity.

What made the show better for the first two seasons was the strained relationship between Rick and Shane. That those dudes who wrote the comic book let such a great conflict slip by killing Shane off so early (like 4 pages into introducing him?) is a crime against fiction writing.

The Governor with his fall, salvation, and rise back up again only to make the same mistake was great.

[Qorgyle]

No more prison drama, thank fuck for that.

[Balmung]

So is it any better? I kind of abandoned the show because it got a little slow. Then I thought about it and realized I disliked the majority of the characters.

[SKYNET]

I still can't believe Hershel and that governor are dead. I wonder, what will happen next of the serial?

I felt you'd bring up the Shane v. Rick as a positive. I'll give you that against he shitty backdrop of Hershels farm that was way too drawn out, yes it was interesting in theory.I think ultimately Rick bitched out yet again and I lost interest.

Now the Governors story...yes. That was better than the comic.


I still can't believe Hershel and that governor are dead. I wonder, what will happen next of the serial?

If it follows the comic at all, they'll be on the road again and face some horrible situations. Things should get darker. Here's to hoping.

Issue 117 is out, mate. But yeah, the Negan thing is silly. Though the comic is entering the post-apocalyptic phase, why the rebuilding of stable societies and feudalization of the American space. It's the more interesting than the survival thing to me.

The characters are not only pointless but also incarnated by mediocre actors.

[Vesuvian Sky]

mid season of walking dead starts now.:cool:

naturally there will be people bitching about this and that, why they can't fap to the dialogue, blah blah blah, but even as the early part of this season showed us, the show can make some pretty stunning turns at certain points and brings 'em back in.:cool:

[DeaththeKid]

This show is the most overrated pile of crap I have ever watched. Literally all the characters suck some just suck more then others. They hired some really bad actors and writers. If it was more fast paced then it might be tolerable barley. I forced myself to finish season one but I just can't watch more then half of season 2 some people say it gets better but I just can't watch this shit.

[Vesuvian Sky]

If it was more fast paced then it might be tolerable barley.

meh, I blame the video games for responses like this among the youth of today.

That, rap music and of course the meth.

Anyway a very psychological mid season premier.

highlight: Michonne goes bat shit nuts and has that creepy flashback.

[DeaththeKid]

crap accidental post

[Vesuvian Sky]

Quote of this latest episode: "You've got quite the mouth on you...what else you got"?

Its the debut of the army sergeant guy (Abraham Ford).

Also, you can apparently plow through a relatively large group of zombies so long as you have armor-body. Interesting.

[Acquisitor]

Yesterday's episode was ok, quite refreshing :)

[Dandelion]

From the new episodes, best one so far. Still it can't be compared to the last two episodes of the first half-season (episodes 7 and 8 of season 4). Episode 9 was also weak, in my opinion.

[Dandelion]

The series isn't known for its realism. Lol.

[Vesuvian Sky]

Even the mid season has presented some interesting twists and turns already. In terms of scene execution, I felt the scene when Rick had to hide under the bed from the marauders was shot very well. An excellent sense of tension was created, particularly when Rick is looking straight into the eyes of the guy who get's strangled on the floor during the fight for the bed with the other guy. Show can still pull off some of those heavy atmospheric moments.

It started off with decent pacing but is starting to drag on the longer things go.

I think a lot of the dumb things done (especially by rick) are intentional and to some degree make things realistic. Hershel's dumb move and his whining, and shane going kind of mental, are things that would really happen.

But dumbest move of all was to flee the prison...just stupid. It's a mess now but still easy to defend. Not to mention it's lame they had no caches or safehouses set up elsewhere just in case. Even a dugout with a trapdoor would be enough to hide in for the night.

Also they keep going into woods and cramped areas instead of the open. WTF kind of logic is that when you have firearms and are fighting slow moving zombies who can't attack from a distance. But you have to have some way to force conflict I guess. Zombes just are not that plausible an enemy to take over whole world.

Show can still pull off some of those heavy atmospheric moments.

yes nice scene, but there is a problem with it. The guy on the bed gets killed by someone and that someone just falls asleep while leaving a fresh corpse right near him. And that for a survivor ;)

[Dandelion]

Interesting how zombies changed over the seasons, all due to a different director. In Season 1, I still remember, zombies could sprint, climb fences and even use objects as tools to break windows.

[Vesuvian Sky]

Yeah I was wondering last night which 'zombie' attacked the maruaders? The one Rick 'created' in the bathroom scene or the one in bedroom scene. Although, I thought the guy choked out in the bedroom was still breathing.

[Dandelion]

The survivor probably was ignorant about the fact everyone is infected and that it only threads into effect after death. Lilly and Tara also survived a long time without knowing that. Most people they see dying get devoured by a pack of walkers, and obviously they can't turn.
Unlikely for marauders though, because they kill people for supplies.

I wondered about that, too, but that makes sense. Maybe they will later find that the corpses are coming on much sooner after death.

The annoying one to me was the bus. Though they could have explained that by everyone having died from a grenade thrown through the window or something. Zombines getting in...but unable to get out, and managed to turn everyone without anyone being eaten, is just dumb.

still its better than season 2 which was all about doing very stupid things and irrelevant conversations.

Indeed. Only way that could happen is if someone were to throw in fresh corpses and seal the exit.

My favourite seasons remain seasons 1 and 4. I'm glad I managed to pull myself through season 2. Didn't like the search after Sophia much. I've read on a forum that in the comics Sophia survives and becomes an adult young woman, but they probably didn't do that because the walkers are too scary for a child actor.

One detail which bugs me about season 1, though. Why did Merle saw off his hand? 1/2" threaded rod is actually easier to cut through with a hacksaw. No need to cut through handcuffs of hardened steel.

[Prisoner Of Ice]

still its better than season 2 which was all about doing very stupid things and irrelevant conversations.

Especially rick but I think they were mainly realistic. I would have splitsky from the group or maybe strangled him off in a corner after a couple of them, though.

And it shocks me they all make the mistake of letting children wander around or split form group. Over and over.

[Vesuvian Sky]

Unlikely for marauders though, because they kill people for supplies.

Yeah exactly. I think Rick's guy was the one that turned zombie. He seemed thoroughly killed.

The bus scene was kinda weird and had me wondering as well. But that's the show for you as at times it seems to require one to fill in the blanks for themselves.

Actually I think we overlooked the tr00 genius of last Sunday's episode: the 'mullet' scientist.

[Dandelion]

Actually I thinked we overlooked the tr00 genius of last Sunday's episode: the 'mullet' scientist.

The Murican (land of the second amendment) that can't handle a submachine gun and still managed to survive this long. ;)

Surprises me no one mentioned Rosita. She's supposed to wear such an outfit? As a male I'm not complaining, but come on. She even didn't speak a word during her first appearance.

[Vesuvian Sky]

The Murican (land of the second amendment) that can't handle a submachine gun and still managed to survive this long. ;)

Indeed. Without doubt, the most unrealistic thing presented thus far.:laugh:

Furthermore, if you have a mullet you clearly must have gun skilz. Let's face it, its an obvious qualifier.

[Prisoner Of Ice]

I kind of liked him.

[Vesuvian Sky]

Me too actually.

[Vesuvian Sky]

Wow. I can honestly say this was my least favorite episode of the series ever. it was all about 'feelings'. Fucking :lame:. And that song at the end was annoying as shit. I so don't watch this show for 'feelings' and shitty ass songs.

Also, no mullet scientists or hot ass latinas in fuck-me-military shorts.

Next week better have some real shit go down.

[Dandelion]

The director might have lost the plot now that the governor is gone? I know that the new characters like the mullet scientist and the latina (less sexualised in the comics) are also in the comics (but I don't read those). We'll see what will happen. I have yet to see the last episode as a non-Murican (always some lag, until someone uploads a good torrent).

The show seems more or less parallel with the comic but the show's plot line thus far tends to 'oscillate' (not exactly the same) in relation to the comic's. Regardless, they'll both line back up usually at the 'critical points' it seems. From what I can tell though, the paths they all are currently following are somewhat similar to the overall idea of the comic. But its definitely not all verbatim.

I have no idea though what they were thinking with this nights episode. Its the first time I was totally disappointed. I guess at times you need 'filler' just to stretch things out. And this is clearly what tonight's episode was: 'filler'.

[Acquisitor]

I'm through the first half of yesterday's episode and I'm wondering: is she going to give him a bj or not ;)

I agree. But they do have to pace a little. If anything they are not nearly so dramatic as you might expect most people to be in such a situation. They seem to be headed more in that direction though, which would really suck.

I don't know why they try to put melodrama and romance in every action or scifi piece and ruin it, people who like that shit can tune into any of 45k other programs to get it.

Holy Jesus, glad I checked for myself. Even if they don't show nudity it is surprising how little sex there is, especially with this episode. World is ending, they are drunk, she's obviously into him. Nope, no sex.

Maybe that's because he is probably supposed to be the hero that nerds relate to. When you have him getting laid instead of having a tortured shit life it appeals less to teenage boys.

I was sure the sexuality question was going to be raised during the game and that she was going give him a direct hint about it.

This episode is definitely 'skipable'. Matter of fact, save yourself a solid 45 minutes of your life and skip it. This episode was so non-crucial to the overall plot.

[Vesuvian Sky]

not too bad. better then last week for sure. things got shaken up a bit. one of the more interesting things was Darrel meeting up with the 'marauders' who Rick was dealing with 2 weeks ago and joins them. Everyone is heading to 'Terminus' now.

lol :)) just when I thought she was finally going to be violated (holding hands together, him carrying her, the long look they had given each other..) the damn girl disregards his safety, future and life and abandons him in a sea of walkers.

It seemed more like she was kidnapped though, and the whole thing was a setup. No way a dog would survive that long on its own.

Dead smelly: Using a combination of three terrifyingly disgusting smells, a chemist believes she can create 'death cologne' that mimics the smell of rotting human flesh to fool zombies

DEATH COLOGNE INGREDIENTS
It features just three chemical compounds.
Putrescine and cadaverine are the main ingredients, which are emitted early on in the decaying process.
Both organic chemical compound are produced by the breakdown of amino acids in living and dead organisms and are toxic in large doses.
They are largely responsible for the foul odour of putrefying flesh, but also contribute to bad breath and can be found in semen.
Methanethiol, which smells like rotten eggs is also added to the 'perfume' to create its offensive bouquet.

Dr Raychelle Burks of Doane College in Nebraska says that the zombie-repellent or ‘death cologne’ can be made using just three chemicals – and that a little would go a very long way.

Ok, so season finally tonight. Wanna bet that they just got offered human flesh at the end of the last episode?

I don't know how stupid someone could be to hear about this big 'terminus' thing (not the most comforting name) and expect it to not be cannibals or something. Especially when you arrive and no one is visible except some hippy chick frying up some human flesh. Signs everywhere and there's just one person visible in the whole compound?

Pretty good, though the first fight scene was a little too forced. It could have come together but maybe it was the editing that was off. Seemed too much like the bad guys were just sitting there waiting to get killed.

Still no sign they are cannibals but I am sure that's coming, the 'making us stronger' part was more than a tad ominous.

Yes, they had to kill Lori because of bad writing, thus changing the fact that baby was killed. If the baby was killed Rick would be a far better character.

[StormBringer]

I've been cooling off the series for a while, but I'll muster the strength to watch it to its tedious end, though they can still pack a punch here and there.Still haven't seen the new episode :D

The franchise in general is pretty good, I loved The Rise of the Governor and the Telltale video games, comics in general aren't really that popular around here any more, so I haven't checked that out.

[Vesuvian Sky]

Yes, they had to kill Lori because of bad writing, thus changing the fact that baby was killed. If the baby was killed Rick would be a far better character.

Yeah this is an ever present theme on this thread and its usually because: you've read the comic first. You're almost guaranteed to be disappointed no matter what.

Not as good as last week but didn't expect it to be. Still was interesting and worth watching.

Gabriel may = never trust the most religious sonofabitch. They're just waiting to screw you over according to some. And Rick suspects this. Though it could also be misplaced mistrust.

Other very promising foreshadowing events took place regarding Beth. Terminus related shit goes down but, hey, a man's gotta eat after all.

[Dandelion]

The fifth season started with a bang. Episode one might have been the best episode thus far and I'm glad episode two is following that line. Seems the directors/writer have more options now the group is back together. Season 4 had that as a weakness in that it often felt random.

Gabriel is indeed a egotistical sonofabitch. The reason he could stay alive was because he locked himself in keeping all the food reserves for himself locking other survivors out. The carving on the church leads us to believe this.

No idea how no survivor could break in.

Not sure. It is just a catchy show....I will say the concept of such beings interests me. However one would think that an incident such a rabies would be more rational hitting mankind as oppose to zombies or people who come back from the dead. I will say I like old zombie movies like George Romero films like the original dawn of the dead not the remake that was horrible. Also the crazies was nice especially the old one.

Yes at the end is what interested me the most. You finally figure out Beth is in some hospital probably in Atlanta or who the hell knows where. What I also found odd was the map Rick was handed and the fact they still did not leave Georgia and the map looked like it started in Massachusetts [where I live] and ended in Washington DC......I laughed when I noticed this in the end. Maybe I was not paying close enough attention to it?

The teaser at the end was ridiculous. What happened to Carol? What's Beth's fate? Its shaping up to be a solid season.

Shouldn't have read this page xD

I've read the comics and I hope season 5 will introduce us to Negan.

[Dandelion]

You are officially a nerd.

I don't care. It's the only comic I read, online via comic rack even. It's a story-telling medium just like any other.

I mean episode 2 is even written by the writer (Robert Kirkman) of the comic series and the entire story of episode 3 is more or less covered in the comic. Yet you loved it. Makes you a nerd as well then.

[Vesuvian Sky]

Beth!

I think tonight's epi deserves a music video tribute:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaI97Q5K30c

Tonight was kinda weird post-apocalyptic medical drama that left you hanging and asking more questions. May not even get answers/conclusion next week. :/

Emily Kinney who plays 'Beth' is soooo cute on the 'Talking Dead' tonight.:o

[StormBringer]

The entire episode just kinda seemed weird to me...
Before I thought the series was moving too slow, now I think it's moving too fast. xD

[Raven_]

Beth is one of the less interesting characters (the episodes involving only her and Daryl were total rubbish, imo), but this episode was a good deviation from the main story line which has been getting only more and more boring.

[Vesuvian Sky]

Definitely. It had alot to do with being in a hospital setting. The series started out like that with Rick waking up in a hospital bed and then this episode brings you back to a similar setting. It's sort've disorienting too and its strange to see the city and all bombed out let alone how people managed to hold out in a hospital during all the chaos (though they explain why but still...). Plus there were quite a few creepy moments within the actually show. The officers and their behavior definitely leave you very uneasy. They themselves are too unstable. It's all off-beat but clearly meant to be that way, not at all unintended.

[Dandelion]

Now going the watch this Beth episode.

EDIT: Good episode. Not the best, but something different. Now it's confirmed that Daryl and Carol got separated.

[Vesuvian Sky]

lol! the 'mullet' was full of shit.xD which follows the comic. I 'cheated' a little here so I knew this was coming.

the part before the very end was actually kinda hilarious. first time I ever cracked up from an epi of the WD. poor Abe. he's one frustrated dude now.

Nope. Eugene is a phoney even in the comic.

That ginger guy with the handlebar stash is my new favorite character,one tough motherfucker he is.

I bet he'll make it to the end of the series

I started watching it last week, on Season 2.

I won't read this thread until I'm caught up.

They are going through parts of when the comics series was truly getting good. The big lines are found in the comic, but the details are filled in differently, so it keeps being surprising even for a comic reader.

His hair colour is indeed fake:

He still fits his role.

Eugene is not dead as he was not featured on the 'body count' on the Talking Dead show which recaps each new epi right after its aired. Also:

[Dandelion]

He neither looked dead to me. Never thought about it that way. :) Sure the blows are deadly.

[Vesuvian Sky]

oh so they ran Carol over...

Other then that not much else to say. Only 2 episodes left.

[Alessio]

F*ck that sneaky prick who's lying about his status as the solution for the zombie disease ! They should've killed him immediately :mad:

Yep. I've seen every episode except for the upcoming one (whether it has been aired already or not, I never check the hour). I read something about Carol's fate and it might have been a spoiler. She was brought in on a gurney in episode 4.

Aaah okay; I thought my comment was the spoiler :p (that Eugene isn't a scientist and all)

[StormBringer]

Two more episodes this year, this is going to be good. :D

[Linebacker]

I just watched it myself.

I hate how they separate storylines in the episodes,I want to see whats going on with Sarge Ford and that group,fuck Daryl and the old woman,and this new guy from everybody hates Chris.

personally, I'd like to see the head cop of the hospital picked off. quite the bitch that one is.

[Unome]

I'm on Season 5!

Season One: 9/10
Season Two: 6/10
Season Three: 7/10
Season Four: 8/10

It's a great series

[Vesuvian Sky]

This part of the season has moved incredibly fast. Perhaps too fast. These last two episodes were somewhat weak as a result. But nonetheless its been an incredible first half of the season. Next week is the closer for the early season. So its probably going to be pretty bloody and you know some peeps are gonna die. I'm predicting quite a few disasters.

Until next week.

[Dandelion]

Half seasons easily have good finales.

Can't quite remember but I think the final showdown with the governor was a half season finale. And that was pretty bad ass.

That was the season 4 finale indeed. The second half of season 4 was less epic as a result (because the group was scattered).

[Vesuvian Sky]

Yup a fucking tragedy at the end. I had a feeling it was gonna be that one. And the other. Total fucking downer. Pretty hard down note to end the first half on.

[randomguy1235]

It really was. Having to see Maggy's reaction was heart-wrenching too :(

[Vesuvian Sky]

Its weird too because alot of WD season enders leave your heart pumping. But the whole movement of this season was fast and furious in the beginning and then now this: a very slow let down. So very different than the norm.

Now on the Talking Dead there is this really awkward interview with Emily Kinney. It was tragic and all but, yeesh, this interview is not really helping.

[Vesuvian Sky]

The afterlife-hallucinations.

Explored again in this episode. Offered a few surprisingly compelling moments. And the return of the Governor (among others). I dunno though. I have a feeling that things may not be as amazing as they were in prior seasons and the show has moved surprisingly fast and converged with the comic at the various key points. And the whole concept of 'where we are going to go next' is still the main issue which naturally has run its course, even for yours truly. But truthfully that's the way the comic goes mostly as well, that is playing off rival factions, one stationed at point A the other at point B.

One of the things I've discussed about this show is how can it explore 'the bigger questions'. Like what is the cause of the virus? Can it be cured? What's going on in other countries? Actually would have been pretty worthwhile I think if it diverged from the comic a bit and used Eugene as the vehicle to explore the first of these. They claim they are prepared for possibly 5 more seasons....

So will this show still be able to pull it off? Or has it perhaps completely run its course and destined only for 2 more seasons or less?

[Unome]

The Walking Dead should receive a plot-twist.

Introduce half-dead, half-alive zombies who are semi-conscious, run, and may still have memories. And have this all-of-sudden, like a few of the previous main characters come back to the show, but are the second-tier zombie. So they start wreaking havoc.

Then even further down the timeline, you could have a third-tier type zombie who is a zombie for all intents and purpose, but is still conscious and "one of the humans".....


There's a lot of great possibilities. I'm surprised nobody's thought of this yet


EDIT:

Imagine the main cast running from a zombie who runs after them, they enter a building or climb up onto a roof, thinking they've escaped, but then the semi-intelligent zombie climbs up after them, or enters building through side doors. That would be awesome!

It seemed to end too early.

Holy shit you are right,now that I looked Ep 9 is out.Thats for the reminder.

[DRUM]

Fuck yeah back again :D Totally forgot cause of exams

[Vesuvian Sky]

Ok so basically they walked around the whole time, ate a few dogs, and talked about their feelings. Daryl actually cried. Then something interesting almost happened but didn't. Then they went into a barn and almost get eaten. Then a mysterious stranger shows up with 'good news'. This was literally the entire epi. They really should have taken some plot turns and expanded on other things. Now they write an entire epi's that are essentially filler. The mysterious stranger thing will just be another lead into another faction war.

The aim right now is to make it to DC. But its becoming too easy to say who cares and if the show goes like this it could easily be dead itself. Haven't checked the current ratings out though...

[Alessio]

I have some catching up to do :)

[Vesuvian Sky]

Lauren Cohan (plays Maggie BTW) looks fucking gorgeous right now on the 'Talking Dead'. Holy fuck.:)

You know its pretty bad when TD is more interesting than the actual episode.

[StormBringer]

Last two episodes have been kinda artsy fartsy and "deep", I'm not used to that kind of stuff from Them. xD
Was doing bit a re-run together with my brother, got though the 1st and 2nd season easily enough, but I got bored right after Woodbury got introduced and quit.Think he's still hanging to the plan.
