The Walking Dead

Regarding the Comic book spoilers.

 

AMC hasn't shied away from showing gore, so I doubt they'd hold back on the dismantling of the Governer. However, they don't really show Zombie children besides the one in the pilot episode and Sophia. If they go the Pedophile way, then they'll do it in hints obviously. Which I wouldn't be surprised because AMC has been making you hate/fall in love with characters for the past 2 seasons. I'm pretty sure Michonne gets raped in the graphic novel and they can hint at this too.

Keep in mind though that they've changed a lot already and have also changed the order of which things happen or what happens.

If you've read all of the graphic novel, maybe you can shed an opinion on my question (in the next spoiler)

(question regarding Novel->Show)

 

In the Graphic Novel Ricks wife and soon to be born child are killed by the Governer's people. Do you think they'd actually kill her off in the show and more importantly the baby?

I'm curious to see how far AMC will go, but I love how gritty the show has thus been and respect it for going places other shows haven't.

hilarious..they always leave their "walker" battles with blood stained foreheads etc.but unless you get shot or stabbed the virus wont take effect ? yeah right..

anyway, odds are the older guy wont be around much longer. Kind of hard to run away now.

Well they all are already infected, the virus doesn't take effect until after they die tho.

I would think someone with your superior intellect would know how it goes down. I'm going to write Robert Kirkman about how poorly the transformation from living person to "walker" is explained. This is outrageous!

thats why its a tv show and not reality, the explaination is still pretty weak LOL

anyway , heres some more amusement, pretty lengthy

Do not read unless you've read past the Governor's storyline in the comics.

 

In addition, I'm wondering if they'll even touch the scene that implies the Governor is a pedophile.

more comic book spoilers...

 

I know there was another comic that concentrated on the Governor's back story. I read only TWD comics. In those comics he had a child, but I thought it was his daughter that was zombified. I guess it kind of makes sense if he kept her because he was a pedophile. Super duper fucked up, but makes sense.

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Bit confused about the whole "We all carry it"...so it will activate when someones dead correct ?

1. Has this been consistent through the show or something they threw in ?
2. So why do bites and scratches matter ?...the amount of blood splattered into eyes,mouths,and noses has to be in the pints by now.

Is it me..or is there alot of cuddling and kissing when you consider everyone probably smells like the homeless and are covered in dried zombie goo half the time.

btw damn that chick is adorable.

I think it was the finale of season 1 where the scientist guy whispered something to Rick that we didn't know about. In season 2 it was revealed the guy told him every person is infected with whatever it is and once you die, you zombiefy.

Well what I mean is up to this point have the people that turned all been dead , or were some scratched etc.
Im just asking about continuity basically.
The last episode had

 

the big prison guy get killed because he was scratched. thus my confusion

 

[mgoblue2290]

I'm thinking any direct contact speeds up the process of death through infection.

 

[Pitty]

I always took it as the bacteria that festers in the corpses are highly infectious, causing sepsis and other nasty effects that cause the victim to have a high fever and quick death.

 

[Bmore]

So by the preview for the next episode I can guess how it will mostly play out.


I'm thinking Michonne and Andrea see the chopper go down as does the governer. He sends Merle and other to check it out, while Michonne and Andrea check it out. Michonne gets there after the Governers men and they try to remain silent and hide. Merle is a great hunter (taught Daryl everything he knows.), so he sneaks up on them knocks them out and brings them back the the Governer. When they wake up they are in a town and greeted by the Governer.

 

[Jmiles]

So how confident are you that Merle is going to be the one? It would be fucking awesome, I am just wondering if you know something I don't :shifty:

 

[Bmore]

Well, he is in the previews looking down at the camera and basically stating he's back and did we miss him.

 

[Cornelius]

Well, he is in the previews looking down at the camera and basically stating he's back and did we miss him.

I watched the clip on Talking Dead of next week's show. Michonne and Andrea are captured when they go to the helicopter. It looks like they are blinded on a bus headed for Woodbury and Andrea looks from under her blindfold to see Merle standing over her and shushing her with a finger to his lips. I guess Rick isn't going to Woodbury this time. I wonder how they'll change that.

 

[Palooza]

This exact thing can be said for Sons of Anarchy.

Ads duing AMC's The Walking Dead' most expensive of any drama on TV

Zombie drama nets 9 to 11 million viewers every week

BY DAVID HINCKLEY / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan) in ‘The Walking Dead’​

If you listen closely to the zombies lurching across the screen in AMC's "The Walking Dead," you will find they make a very distinctive sound.

Ka-ching.

Not only has "The Walking Dead" picked up a larger audience than most prime-time broadcast network shows this season, averaging 9 to 11 million viewers per episode, the price AMC charges to advertise a product between zombie executions now exceeds that of almost every drama anywhere on TV.

Ad Age quotes two buyers as saying the average package price for 30-second spots on "The Walking Dead" runs $200,000-$250,000, with late "scatter" buys commanding up to $375,000.

That's more than any regular show on television except "Sunday Night Football," which gets $545,000.

It's more than "American Idol," which has dropped into the $340,000 range after a down year in the ratings.

Even at $200,000-$250,000 per spot, the "Walking Dead" rate tops every drama on broadcast TV with a small handful of exceptions like ABC's "Grey's Anatomy."

This windfall is a major breakthrough for AMC and for cable ad rates in general, illustrating how advertisers make ever-fewer distinctions between broadcast shows, which traditionally have been considered mass-appeal, and cable shows, which traditionally have been considered niche.

The main attraction of "The Walking Dead" to advertisers, not by coincidence, rests on the same factor that makes football so attractive.

Its core audience is men between 18 and 49, who are devilish hard to reach with traditional sitcoms, dramas and reality shows.

The success of "The Walking Dead," Ad Age notes, also proves that graphic content, in the context of a compelling story, does not just appeal to a small core audience.

The death of familiar characters, the never-ending execution of zombies and regular scenes like an anesthesia-free leg amputation may repel the Hallmark Channel audience, but that still leaves plenty of viewers who can't get enough.

Ad Age does note that certain products don't tend to be advertised on "The Walking Dead."

Snack food, for instance, is largely absent. About the only food for which "The Walking Dead" might stimulate an appetite is blood pudding.

Instead, the show draws ads for cars, telecommunications devices and other products in which younger men would be interested.
