The Walking Dead

I liked it and will keep watching it. Those zombies are fast. Not the slow ones I was used to seeing. The slow ones live in my area. They run the government here. :eek: :)

"...and the good news?"

why is it so consistently impossible for anyone to make a decent zombie movie/show?

it can't that hard to write a decent scrip can it?

this show sucks

chuck buck · #26

already has gone a little ways from the comic story (as the author said it would). still decent. wish rick wasnt a "badass" yet. still watching though!

I know this might seems counter-intuitive, given all the hype about that "new zombie show."

But it might help to think of it as less a zombie story and more a grinding, dystopian, essentially hopeless indictment of humans' ready inclination to be nasty to one another. And, to a lesser extent, the redemptive power of the small things in life.

In that light, the zombies are basically a set piece, a collective but single entity, a plot device similar any other plague. It may be different on the tube, but in the books the vast majority of the horror factor comes from humans, not zombies.

I just read that this first season is only six episodes long.

But AMC officially announced a second season of 13 episodes, so we have a bunch more zombie awesomeness to look forward to. :D

Certainly true of the original "modern" zombie movie, "Night of the Living Dead," one of the top 10 movies ever made IMO (Though almost everything else Romero did fell flat at best).

yeah that pretty much killed me.

but they know they have a hit so they wont go "sopranos 18 months to do it b.s" and will have the show back on asap. it will be breaking bad at 9pm then walking dead at 10p, sometime in middle 2011 i bet

either way it's pretty bad

unwatchable

night is ok

dawn and day are both really good and classics

every breath romero has drawn since then has been an insult: land of the dead? diary? survival of the dead???

after watching all the last 3 romero "zombie" movies, i've looked for a website/email to contact romero to let him know that he is sick and needs to stop/get help but i can't find one

really hard to think that the guy who made day of the dead just made survival of the dead: boggles the mind and perturbs the soul

Episode 2 was even better than the last one. I am re-reading the comics and the liberty they took for the story is sometimes even better that the original.

I hope this show will be so popular ....

I'm pretty pissed I saw the first two episodes but had to pull a night shift so I missed the third one. Stupid job. Money is over rated.

Donut · #36

I like this show. :)

Vash, I'm sure it will get on Hulu or something. This week before the third episode they played the first two episodes, so check the schedule.

Simple Man · #37

Caught all three episodes last night, the rest will be DVR'd, I like it.

cwskin69 · #38

It's sucks that there's only 6 episodes in this season..I love this show, gotta get the comics

SmoothOne25 · #39

great episode. rarely do "zombie movies" go into the possible social issues or "man vs man"

you'd think all humans would join together to survive but then all these issues of "survival of the fittest" begin to emerge as resources begin to dwindle.

also the last scene with the walkers just showing up and killing people. what the **** did you expect? the last 3 episodes i thought "wont the zombies just show up? "whats stopping them" "maybe some precautions or early warning device/sounds"

im enjoying the walking dead a lot!

are you? :)

I really enjoyed the most recent episode. I do have one question though. What happened to the grenade? I would of walked into the Vatos camp and just held the grenade up, "I'd say I could spill the most blood."
