The Walking Dead

[Realist]

Well that's a bummer. That's what I get for not watching yesterday's episode.

So wait, you're doing all this bitching and haven't even seen the latest episode?

I want the exact opposite. I want explosions blowing out my eardrums and zombies screaming from all directions.

I want to shut my brain off. Darabont and his band of dorks won't let me because they think they can make a "serious" zombie piece.

If you expected this show to be just like a round of Zombies from Call of Duty, you were looking for the wrong thing. That is like me complaining about Modern Family not having enough hardcore lesbian scenes (which I have done, but mind you, it was in private). The show was never meant to be that, it is much more about people coping with the issue of surviving in these hellish conditions and their interactions with each other.

That being said, I think it is fair to compare it to the source material when they do episodes or story arcs that are just below average at best. I cannot remember a single person who said the first season finale was on par with the rest of the first season. It wasn't. It was bad. It was also created purely for the show and not from the comics. That episode could have never existed and I would have been pretty happy with the first season. On the other hand, their creation of the character Daryl has been good. I like the character, although I wish he had more air time instead of say... Carl or Lori, neither of which I can stand. So their creations for the show aren't all bad, but still, I feel the show is lacking overall direction that could be greatly assisted by simply referring back to the material the show is based upon.

Regarding the farm, the actor who plays Rick talked about it. Its in spoilers just in case:

 

If it makes anyone feel better they are leaving the farm in the finale. Andrew Lincoln said something happens in the finale that makes the farm not safe anymore, forcing them to leave.

I'm thinking it will either be the group dealing with their first swarm or maybe a skirmish with the other group that was shooting at them leading to kind of a tie in with "The Governor" later on.

Needs more T-Dog.

Also, the term "Walking Dead" refers to the characters personalities degrading to the point where they are no better than the flesh-eating corpses they fight.

More zombies would equal everyone dying as the group would eventually run out of bullets.

The Governor cast for Season 3, hope he cameos at end of 2nd season

so are they just going to skip the

 

prison?? hopefully not

 

[wingsfan77]

Damien was the worst character on Rescue Me... I hope he's dealt with quickly.

Who's he playing?

 

[JayDizzle]

Can't be that hard to have another dilapitated building fall on him again, can it?

So glad they aren't going to skip him or make an existing character become him (my guess was Merle).

Doubtful. Although viewers may see it as Farm 2.0 if they just sit around all day for a majority of the episodes.

Possibly, but there's just so much stuff in the comics that there's no way of putting on a TV show (all of the murder/rape, etc.) I read issues 49-54 of the comics last night after I bought them, definitely not worth the $10 I paid because it didn't seem like anything happened. To those who have read all the comics, does it pick up again?

I've read through issue like 91 or 92 and they are still really good. Although to sum up the creator's thoughts "After all the crap we've done to Rick, it seems like we will have to kill him, but even that wouldn't be cruel enough".

They have their lulls but they're perfectly timed in my opinion. The comic has a great mix of action and story building.

 

[wingsfan77]

Alright well I'm sold, I'll continue reading then. I just feel that $10 for something I can read through in a few hours is kind of pricey.

One of the better episodes tonight.

 

If there wasn't a group splinter, there's gonna be now.

I do dig that the female counterparts to Rick, Shane and the Farm Group are coming to a head.

Also, while the men are willing the just beat each other to shit, the women are all about the verbal eviseration...

 

We also see that the zombies know where the Farm is now... at least one anyway.

Not sure why they didn't take it out when they were driving. Only seemed to make sense. it seemed like shane wants it to get there.

Fun episode. The splinter between Rick and Shane continues to turn. Rick is one trusting MFer though to continue welcoming him back and giving him his weapons and all that.

The part with the women was annoying but I guess necessary if they will do something with the blonde bitch and Shane against Rick & co.
