Next great fanboi show?

AMC's Fall series The Walking Dead, based on Robert Kirkman's incredibly popular comic book series that began in 2003 published by Image Comics, tells the story of the weeks and months that follow a pandemic zombie apocalypse. Old world Sheriff Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) travels with his family and a small group of survivors, constantly in search of a safe and secure home. Frank Darabont directed the pilot episode, which debuts on the network on Halloween( October 31).

So is this is obviously derivative of 28 Days Later but so what?
Great use of music btw .

just finished the UK tv show Dead Set. it was a decent watch to pass the time. thx 4 the heads up.

I just watched Dead Set as well .Really disappointed in the ending ,unless the whole thing was meant as an homage to Romero.

Didn't, of course goes without saying , like everyone dying and everything else was more or less Zombie 101 by the numbers , right down to the main "bad guy " sabotaging everything and getting ripped apart while goading the zombies on ( see original Dawn of Dead and even parodied already in Shawn of the Dead and Planet Terror).

I'd say the only original thing about it was the Reality show setting if it hadn't already been done to death(pun intended) as well.

I was going to watch The Walking Dead last night but seems my cable company doesn't AMC so I'm going to have to download it first. :mellow:
I figure it's got a decent chance of being well ...decent since the writer/creator is the same guy ( Frank Darabont) who wrote the script to The Shawshank Redemption and he has a history in Horror movies..

It was very good except the first scene with the little girl. Waiting for the next :D

The_Wire

11-07-2010, 05:40 PM

hmm, well one thing is good with us humans! Everything is relative!! it depends on the point of view and the taste of the person.
For example the first scene that Eazil above me said he didn't like, i loved it!
The series starts great, breaking all taboos and standards!
American tv would never (or rarely) show you a little girl getting shot in the head and in slow motion with all the blood etc etc. And this is exactly what this show gives you from the get go!
I liked the thing it didn't conform and took off the beaten track.
Let's hope it will continue surprising us in a good way.
I'm curious to see the second episode tonight!

Finally got around to watching the first two episodes and while there were good points ( though melodramatic the husband with the scoped rifle - that he didn't shoot) it's already fallen into the pit of predictability. Sort of a Jericho with more blood.
I didn't particularly like Jericho btw , with it's increasing ludicrous storyline and it's emphasis on soap over character. I see the stereotypes and the silly soap aspect already happening with The Walking Dead.
Also it's pretty obvious that the racist character didn't die - see the convenient dropping of the bag full of saws - old adage ,when a writer introduces a gun in the first act ... and this will set up some stupid - like the best friend /adulterous wife thing - human against human conflict instead of centering the show on where it should be centered- on the zombies.

The creator of the show has stated that it's more about what happens to people when you strip all the nice little trappings of civilization from them, apparently that means you enter the land of soap .
Doesn't mean something like this has to be bad , the movie The Road did a decent job of conveying indomitable spirit in the face of hopelessness but I think to do that you need to really think about portraying more honest reaction than just "moving the story along"
Besides at this rate (expect for the Jericho lunacy ) I don't see how they can sustain the premise anyway .

There's only so much you can do with zombies though, which is why I think this show is going to fail. Something like Prison Break (first season of that was awsome btw, because it was intended to only last for one season). I predict we get 2 season out of this show, 3 max...
I do hope it can keep putting out though, it beats a lot of the other crap they have on tv...

Everything you need to know about walking dead - io9 (http://io9.com/5686018/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-walking-dead).The stuff mentioned there reads pretty interesting.The only new show I am following from this year is Boardwalk empire, might as well add Walking dead to my download quota :P.Are there any good TV series worth checking out?I just watch Family Guy,South Park,Modern Family and 2 and a half men.I really liked Veronica Mars back then, but there have been no shows similar to that :|.I also used to watch Numb3rs for quite sometime, until it lost its touch and left the realm of realism and sane reasoning.Everything else is just on and off or the ones I followed have stopped airing.
Dexter is a must, Breaking Bad, Futurama (new eps are just as good as the old ones), Chuck (i haven't seen any of this season though), Weeds season 1,2&3, Prison Break season 1, and House is great but gets too repetitive.

That's why it's called a drama and not a documentary.
It's called poor writing imo. :snooty: They could have come up with something better.

Thanks tesco.From the above mentioned TV series, I dropped House, like you said, it was too repetitive.Dexter never clicked me.Never got into Futurama, because I was always full with Family Guy and south park :P.I used to follow Prison break, it was a nice show.I guess its time for weeds :D

Actually the show is doing great, and has terrific ratings, probably you misunderstood something. That's the reason it got renewed for a second season pretty quickly.

Now the firing thing was a bit cirious, but this whole deal is still pretty vague.
From what deadline is reporting this is still a rumor, probably will be confirmed soon, but a rumor as (of) yet.
Furthermore, producer/director/writer Darabont is said to be toying with the idea of assigning freelancers to each script, so this isn't certain as well!

In addition to that, Darabont has already written or co-written the episodes so far, this shows that he is already carrying the bulk of the writing work on his shoulders.
Therefore i wouldn't get disappointed by the rumor/news or worried that the show might get cancelled, yet.
Things are looking good and probably they will continue that way.

Watched the season 2 premiere after marathoning the first and I have to admit the show does have a lot going for it. A nice balance of action and characterization that only strays to the ridiculous or maudlin occasionally.

Looking forward to the introduction of some fresh locations and some of the other characters from the books.

I had originally been worried about the show after hearing the creator left the project after the 1st season (claiming it was a grueling workload that he no longer wished to undertake). However, the season 2 opening gave me no reason to feel apprehension, a solid start for the series. Does even a better job of making you clench your fists and make you think (zomg what are you doing, them's could be zombie)

or zomg oh shit zombie will get you

I think the actual reason was that the network demanded budget cuts so they could then funnel the money to critical darling Mad Men.

Walking Dead gets almost double Mad Men's ratings btw.

If you remember correctly he told her after he led the walkers away to "Keep the sun on your left shoulder and it will lead you back to the highway". As they said while tracking her, she did as told...but the trail just vanished at that spot. It's that suspenseful aspect they just throw in at random that I love about the show. Like the end of the episode for example...who would have thought?

Ehh the S02 web series isn't the same as TV series. I thought it was just a WEB-DL (http://filesharingtalk.com/nzbs/tv/x2641080/49500-The-Walking-Dead-Webisode-1080p-Web-DL-AAC-2.0-x264-T00NG0D). According to Wikipedia the web series is going to have 6 episodes. They're not released in weekly intervals?

I enjoyed S01, wan't a HUGE fan of the genre but still enjoyed it. Should be interesting to see how they drag this along. Maybe we'll even see some zombies this season? :w00t:

The series is incorporating many of the characters and following some of the elements of the comics but also making significant changes.

Major spoilers so avoid if you don't want to know.

Shane gets shot and killed by Carl fairly early on and doesn't get shot himself until much later.Biggest thing to see if the producers still go down this road ,like I'm guessing ,or decide like True Blood to keep certain characters alive (Sheriff Andy) and rework the story around them. Also in the books it's discovered that you don't have to be bitten to re-animate into a zombie.

I don't know how I feel about the rumoured appearance of Michonne (http://www.comicvine.com/michonne/29-46819/) in Season 2.Well clearly "cool" she steers the show further into comic book territory.

I'm glad there have been zombie hordes in 2/2 episodes so far this season. I was hoping they wouldn't tend towards making the entire show about internal conflict (safe for now).

Speaking of which, while walking on campus today I see 3 rolled up socks on the sidewalk like someone dropped off their laundry. Not only that, but people with bandannas are chasing each other all around the place. I have come to realize that they started back up with Zombies vs Humans at our school again, and socks are weapons used to stun zombies. They apparently switch to nerf guns after 10 pm. If zombies were as popular 20 years ago as they are now, I could see myself playing this game as a youngin'. I just don't get how they can all involve themselves in a 24/7 game while on location at the place they receive their educations. It's like the campus is just a playground. But then again, I'm a miserable judgmental bastard who hates reading a page of rules (http://humansvszombies.org/rules).

I haven't seen s2e02 yet, but the final few minutes of e01 were amazing! He is obviously a man with some faith in God, and has shown to be firm in his beliefs that he is to help the people in his care. He asks God for a sign of approval/disapproval and next scene... *BOOM* His own son is shot in the chest, and lays dying.

For those who missed this relevance- the zombie apocalypse was created by God- God answered his question immediately by striking down his son. This creates the amazing struggle between a man's faith in his actions, and his beliefs in doing what God wishes him to do. The story becomes a struggle for survival against God. Fukin' amazing writing, IMO... :O

Not that I'm psychic but I think I can guess where HeLLboy is going with this.

Also as to " the first season being better" or not I think that depends entirely on if you buy into both the author's and the TV show runner's idea that The Walking Dead isn't really about fighting zombies at all.
I am sort of curious though if the producers have the balls ,which as of yet they haven't shown ,to follow down the same grim path as the comics.

Either way I hope they introduce The Hunter's as I'm all for equal opportunity cannibalism.

Being Human? No zombies that I know of but vampires,werewolves and ghosts.

There was Dead Set a miniseries combining Big Brother and a zombie apocalypse which was pretty brutally effective if looking a little on the cheap side.

See also the Torchwood: Children of Earth miniseries which a lot of people seem to like and Sea of Souls a "Scottish X-files".

Then there's Misfits which isn't horror but fantasy but incredibly highly regarded.

They lost their campiness on that season, but it was still a magnificent storyline. They really fumbled their style on season 4, I had someone recap it for me to see if I was even missing out and lucky barley I'm glad I dropped that one halfway through.

Then there's Misfits which isn't horror but fantasy but incredibly highly regarded.
Episode 1 of the new season gave me a bit of a scare, I found it an entirely disappointing return. But then episode two came in and gave me a great foot and body rub, then turned me over for the happy ending. Triumphant return.

Yeah it's just mid-season. That would really suck if it ended now since this season would only had been as long as last. I'm hoping for at least another six more episodes when they restart in February. But damn that sure is a little bit of a wait. I'm sure it will be worth it though.

And I would personally go for an all out beating instead of a slap. A slap, in my opinion, will tell her that her that you were only slightly annoyed and that it would be ok to make a similar mistake in the future. Which since you put 'again' at the end of that sentence a simple slap will no longer due.

Trust me, my girl no longer attempts to reach for the remote while I'm watching the Bears game(and now that I think of it any other program/game) after what I did to her when she tried it the last time. Which I don't blame her. If someone beat me to the point where I couldn't pull myself up off the floor for fifteen minutes after the fact I sure as hell wouldn't make the same mistake again either.

I've never had an issue with any sporting or channel changing, as I don't have any type of live programming and don't really like sports. However, I am in a fantasy league that involves members of my family and I brought it up a couple of times in passing. She then questioned me about why I'm talking about it if I don't like sports. I beat her senseless. I don't think either of us are sure what she learned from it.

I wish some of my friends were more network literate. I am securing 7 episodes of web.dl's on the microSD card of my phone, to transfer to my friend's phone, to allow him to play it on the Popcorn Hour at his home that I *sold to him 2 years ago.

*I sold him the Popcorn Hour, not the home. I advised against the purchase of his home.

Of course when the zombie apocalypse arrives and if movies have taught me anything it will, then the problem will be to determine who is a zombie and who is merely a zombie-like person on a smart phone.

I posted about my liking for the series which is the topic of this thread, and mentioned the way in which I preferred to view it. I didn't and don't see anything in the rules of the "filesharingtalk" forum which forbids mention of filesharing outside of the BitTorrent section. And you insulted me first.

Please someone show me exactly where I insulted tsunami in my original post? I would ask him but mature individual that he is he has apparently decided to run away instead of attempt to settle any differences.

Also in seriousness,I have given up on tracker movie forums for precisely that reason and this is my last bastion filesharing -wise in a long and bitter battle to actually talk about the stuff I watch rather than the form that I watch it in.
Seeing as this is my fall back position/line in the sand I will tend to defend it more fervently.

OK, I apologise. I'm unreliably informed that I might have missed some perverted attempt at humour in your first post. But since I've not watched s2 and won't do for several months I'm afraid that means I'll not be able to grace this thread with my presence again for quite some time. I guess you won't mind :P But I do kinda see your point I will try to avoid deviating from the path of strict righteousness in other threads.

Apology unnecessary but accepted. You don't seem a bad fellow at all and I'm sorry if I offended you by mispelling your name tiramisu.
Also like I said someplace , your posts no matter if I happen to agree with them or not, are just as valid as any of mine so say whatever you want and basically fuck me.

only is good in the walking dead is zombies and that all Iam need :D

Good point even though as stated by the author and evidenced by the last episode the show is only peripherally about zombies.

The show/books revolve around how people when placed in extreme situations react to them.
Do you try to hold onto whatever humanity you still can or delude yourself pretending that some normality can exist or lose all hope and give into despair or simply use the situation as an excuse to do terrible things?
This and the characters are what makes the show interesting .Otherwise you would have nothing more than Resident Evil 4.

I beat her senseless.

Yeah they're kinda more trouble than they're worth, in my opinion. If it wasn't for their obvious use I wouldn't bother at all. And even that is sometimes too much trouble for me. Although I'm sure many girls feel the same about us guys. Needless to say though, I'll never get married. But I honestly admire the guys that do. They're better people than I'll ever be.

I have some friends that don't watch sports but are involved in fantasy leagues. I'm the other way around though, I have absolutely no idea how to get involved in them or even really what they are. But they seem to have a lot have fun with them and that's really all that matters. I really should give it a chance sometime, I'll more than likely enjoy it. But nowadays the farthest I go with sports besides watching/going is betting on them. Which just like most things in my life I'm not very good at.

By the way, I'm glad Idol and temisturk kissed and made up. You guys have no idea how hard all that fighting is on the rest of us.

I guess the girls you beat probably prepare your food for you. You might do well to think a bit more about the occasional odd tastes. Or reflect on the fact that not everything you'd rather not eat has an obvious taste.

I can only speak for myself, but they're usually too crippled to handle pots, pans, carving boards, jar caps and the like. I can barely keep her standing long enough to make me a sandwich. I've even had to supervise to make sure she doesn't bump her head on the stove or fall down a flight of stairs when not spreading a sufficient amount of mayo.

Off of Ain't It Cool News

Dear Eric,

Sure, I’ll confirm that storyline. Why not? Big caveat here though:

CraveOnline is much mistaken in saying this was for a “web series.” This was never meant as a web gimmick, this was intended for use in the actual TV series. I wanted to kick off the 2nd season with the flashback episode Sam describes, which would have followed a squad of Army Rangers getting trapped in the city and trying to survive as Atlanta falls.   

The idea was to do this with a very focused “you are there” documentary feel. Not going all shaky-cam, but still making it a bit rawer and grainier than the rest of the show. We’d start with a squad of maybe seven or eight soldiers being dropped into the city by chopper. They have map coordinates they need to get to; they’ve been told to report to a certain place to provide reinforcement. It’s not a special mission, it’s basically a housekeeping measure putting more boots on the ground to reinforce key intersections and installations throughout the city. And we follow this group from the moment the copter sets them down. All they have to do is travel maybe a dozen blocks, a simple journey, but what starts as a no-brainer scenario goes from “the city is being secured” to “holy shit, we’ve lost control, the world is ending.” Our squad gets blocked at every turn and are soon just trying to survive. I wanted to do a really tense, character-driven ensemble story as communications break down, supply lines are lost, escape routes are cut off, morale falls apart, leadership unravels, mutinies heat up, etc. (Yes, this approach owes a spiritual debt to a number of great films, including Walter Hill’s Southern Comfort.)

Along the way, I thought we could briefly dovetail this story with a few established characters from the show. Not to overdo that, mind you, because it could get silly and too coincidental if you load too much into that idea. But I thought it would be great to veer off on a quick narrative detour that brushes our soldiers briefly up against some people we know. Picture our squad arriving at a manned barricade where some civilians are being held back from leaving the city on shoot-to-kill orders to stop the spread of contagion, it’s a panicked high-intensity scene, and in this crowd of desperate people we find Andrea and Amy. The barricade gunners panic, the civilians start to get mowed down by machine gun fire, and in this melee the girls get pulled to safety by some old guy they don’t even know. It’s Dale. He’s nobody to them, just some guy who saw the opportunity to do the right thing and reacted in the moment. This would have been perhaps a minute or two of the episode, just a cool detour like the various outposts the soldiers encounter in Saving Private Ryan, but we would have witnessed the moment that Dale meets Andrea and Amy, seen where that relationship began. I also felt it would be a great way to get Emma Bell back into the series for a moment, because she was so wonderful and we were all so sorry that her character died and she had to leave the show. (Of course if this “brush with established characters” idea didn’t work in the script stage, I’d have tossed it out. You try a lot of ideas like that as you go, see how they play. But I thought this one stood a pretty good chance of being engineered to work well.)   

So the story follows these soldiers through hell as the city falls apart and the squad implodes, with Sam’s soldier being the main character and the moral center of the group. He becomes the last survivor of the squad, and he finally gets to the map coordinates they’ve been trying to get to from the start: it’s the barricade at the Atlanta courthouse intersection from the pilot where Rick later finds the tank. The soldier is still alive when he gets there, but he’s been bitten. He’s accomplished his “simple” mission, but he’s gone through seven kinds of hell to do it (including being forced to frag his squad leader), and now he’s dying. And he crawls off into the tank just to get off the street and under cover. As his fever builds and the poor guy starts to hallucinate, he pulls his last grenade and considers ending his life. He sets the grenade down on that shelf for a moment to reflect on all the shit and misery that brought him to this sad end-point of his life, and to dredge up the courage to pull the pin...but before he can act, the fever burns him out and he dies.   

The kicker comes in the last moments of this episode:  

After the soldier dies this squalid, lonely death...and after a quiet lapse of time...we do a shot-for-shot reprise from the first episode of the first season: Rick comes scrambling into the tank to escape the horde...blows that zombie soldier’s brains out...now Rick’s trapped...fade out...the end.  

The notion was to take the “throwaway” tank zombie Rick encountered in the pilot, and tell that soldier’s story. Make him the star of his own movie, follow his journey, but don’t reveal who he is until the end. The idea being that every zombie has a story, every undead extra was once a human being with a life of his/her own...was, in a sense, the star of his own life’s movie. And we’ve followed this one particular guy and seen how his life ended; we witness his struggles, see his good intentions and his failures, and we experience his godawful death in this tank. That’s why I cast Sam as that tank zombie in the first place instead of just casting some extra. I had this story in mind while filming the pilot, and I knew I’d need a superb actor to play that soldier when the time came.
  
And then starting with Episode 202, we’d be back with Rick’s group and back in step with the flow of the established story from last season.

I always had in mind to throw in a “wild-card” episode every season, maybe as a season opener or closer. Just a separate story more in the feel of an anthology series, one that appears completely off the track of the regular series but actually does wind up tying in somehow by the fade-out. They did that sort of thing on LOST on occasion, and I really respected it. It always seemed like a bold choice that trusted the audience and rewarded their loyalty with a totally unexpected surprise episode every so often.

That’s it from me. I hope things are well on your end.

Best,

Frank

The general idea was to give anyone who cares(no one ) a glimpse into a great idea that might have been and maybe also some insight into the realities of Hollywood.

It's not about sex with minors so I'm guessing in your case probably not worth a read.

Anyway I will continue to try and generate some discussion about all things movie/TV until people stop pretending that they belong to torrent trackers for the content.

The series is turning darker by the minute and if the rumours are right it's going to get pitch black very soon.
Some would say that the show is only holding true to the spirit of the source material but personally I could stand a little ray of sun peaking through occasionally even if the whole "end of World" thing makes that light not very plausible.

In the source material Shane was killed early in. This has striven radically from the source. It's too much triangle and not enough zombies. The writers tried to float the idea of a wider scenario, encompassing multiple pockets of humanity, breaching the premise, but it got binned for love amongst the corpses.

Wank to the max.

In the comics/graphic novels Shane was killed by Carl basically as a device to establish the depth of his(Carl's) psychosis .In the series ,except for Sophia's death/zombification, which didn't happen in the books,everything is tempered for TV.Carl being a child , is not a full-blown psycho but merely becoming "hardened" by the extremity of his environment.

Also I agree that the show has missed most opportunities to be about the larger (and more interesting) issues and settled safely into a sporadically annoying soap opera. Which is really incredibly stupid on the producer's part since there are soap opera fans and there are zombie fans and clearly ne'er the twain shall meet.:mellow:

Major potentialI hear that Shane's death is even going to be a cop out and this planned murder by Rick turns into a bit of heroic redemption at the end.Further deviating from the books they apparently kill off Dale so negating forever the chance of the uncomfortable old/young relationship he has with Andrea.They are going for faux edging by killing off major characters whereas the true edginess would come from not killing them but making them do something most in the audience would find to be very uncomfortable

18 Miles Out. Great title. Bored me to death. I don't know how anyone can make a lone person struggling for their life trapped in a bus surrounded by zombies unexciting but they managed it.
Also if the "rescue" basically just involved going out the back door then why couldn't Shane simply have done that earlier?

So basically just set your daydreams to film then.

Anyway a big problem with the show this season is that it lacks much/any forward momentum.Weeks of ominous portending followed by a cliffhanger to hook the suckers into the next cycle does not a good show make.
Another thing about the last episode(18 Miles Out) is that (for me) the action seemed to lack any immediacy.The continual cutting back to the farm certainly didn't help( even though I could see what they where attempting to juxtapose here) but the zombie attack at the school really needed to be more "in your face'.

Also everyone is "infected" but if you don't get a more concentrated "dose"(ie being bite) the virus lies dormant until you dies deaded.

And I found out via The Talking Dead that the woman who plays Maggie speaks with an British accent in real life (This after http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO1yyL99TZ8 also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYmrg3owTRE not to mention http://www.youtube.com /watch?v=2M7xY3ZVcDM&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M7xY3ZVcDM&feature=related) . My next question is is there anyone left in the entertainment industry who doesn't? :unsure:

Furthermore

Season finale totally spoiled so if you decide to read this don't say I didn't warn you.

Episode 13 Beside the Dying Fire

Shot opens in Atlanta: a group of walkers are feasting on what looks like Rick's horse, or what's left of it, when they're startled by the sound of a helicopter flying overhead. The horde migrates over several days, weeks, a great distance, and eventually comes to a fence. The fence bows and breaks under the relentless forward motion of the walkers; the herd presses on. Wandering aimlessly in the forest, the walkers turn as a gunshot goes off like a beacon, leading them to dinner. Soon they are closing in on Rick and Carl, as they leave the scene of Shane's murder.

Daryl and Glenn arrive back at the farmhouse. They explain that they heard a gunshot, and share their confounding findings about Randall.

As they walk back to the house, Carl asks Rick about what happened to Shane exactly. Soon after, they notice the walkers bearing down on them, and it's not long before they are overtaken and have to make a run for the barn. Back at the house, the rest of the survivors are just figuring out that Carl is missing and walkers are approaching. Lori is panicking. Herschel passes out the guns.

The horde is making quick work of the barn. Rick dumps gasoline everywhere, busts open the door to lure the zombies inside, and climbs up to the loft with Carl. Carl drops a lighter into the gasoline-soaked hay, igniting everything in sight. Meanwhile, the men and Andrea shoot from their cars in a futile attempt to corral the herd and buy time.

Finally, Daryl figures out that Rick and Carl must be in the barn, and instructs Jimmy to drive the RV to the barn to rescue them. Rick and Carl manage to barely escape, while Jimmy is devoured inside the RV. Blood is everywhere, coating the windshield.

The survivors are starting to run out of ammo. The horde is too large. The women hold hands and make a run for it as Herschel makes a last stand for the farmhouse. They are just about clear when Patricia is attacked from the side and is devoured while Beth is still holding onto her.

Carol is headed off by a few walkers and backed into a corner with nothing but a plank of wood to defend herself. Andrea saves her but is attacked from behind and gets pinned under a walker. T-dog pulls his car around, but quickly has to leave the scene with Beth and Lori before the car is overtaken.

Glenn tells Maggie that the farm is lost; they have to get off the farm, now. Herschel comes to the same realization, almost too late, as a walker sneaks up from behind. Rick saves Herschel and they along with Carl head out in their own direction. Daryl finds Carol about to collapse from running, and they speed off together on Daryl's motorcycle. Andrea is abandoned. The barn collapses into the flames. And we're not even halfway done.

The group is now scattered. Glenn and Maggie switch places in the car as Maggie breaks down and can't continue driving. Glenn says they need to make their way to the highway, but Maggie protests that the herd came from that direction. Glenn finally tells Maggie that he loves her.

Rick, Carl, and Herschel arrive at the highway, where they left the care package for Sophia, hoping that the others will think to rendevouz here. Herschel is ready to part ways, but Rick wants to stick together.

Lori and T-Dog argue over where to drive. T-Dog wants to head to the coast, but Lori threatens to jump out of the car if he doesn't turn around and go back to the highway.

A walker appears on the highway. Rick is about to give up on waiting any longer, but… in the nick of time, the other survivors arrive. Time for a head count:
Shane - dead
Andrea - missing
Patricia - taken by the walkers
Jimmy - splattered all over the RV

Meanwhile, Andrea is running for her life in the woods, but the walkers pursue her tirelessly. She can't keep this up for long. Walkers are emerging from the trees in random directions as Andrea shoots to clear a path.

The survivors leave the highway, pushing onward, but soon run out of gas. Several people start to panic and are on the verge of giving up. Rick tries to pull everyone together. The conversation turns to Randall and Shane. Rick has to come clean. Jenner's secret is that everyone is a carrier of the infection. The group is not happy that Rick has kept this from them.

Lori and Rick talk privately. Rick tells her what went down with Shane, and confesses that it wasn't just self-defense… he wanted Shane dead, he was tired of Shane dogging him and acting like Rick stole Lori and Carl from him. Lori freaks out when she finds out Carl's role in Shane's death and withdraws from Rick, refusing to let him touch her.

Andrea is exhausted. This is the end of the line. She can't carry her gun-bag any longer, her pistol is out of ammo-- she bashes in a walker's head with it-- now she's down to knives, another walker practically on top of her… enter Michonne to save Andrea at the last minute, towing two armless walkers in chains, samurai sword in hand.

The rest of the survivors set up camp in the middle of nowhere. They may have found each other again amid the chaos, but the group is still broken. Many are ready to run off into the dark and leave Rick behind, fend for themselves. They are on the verge of splitting up again, when Rick takes back control... he says they're not going anywhere; he killed his best friend for them. This isn't a democracy anymore.

The camera pans up… in the distance looms a prison facility.

You know all those times that you didn't have any idea what I was talking about? Well the chickens have come home to roost.

Other than that I feel that the zombies are racist and possibly pedophiles as they only seem to eat the white people and children.

There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that I think, black people are harder to see at night and probably smell like dead meat to begin with.

As a noble retort against all this filesharing rapism, Michonne's first appearance in the comics has been made available for free download. A copy of the comic just sold on ebay for $250. Nothing to do with the massive surge of interest in the character, of course. Nothing to do with the origin being printed in fucking Playboi, of all fucking places. Nothing to do with opportunistic exploitation.

It's a long and boring story involving among other things me having nothing to do on a Friday night, him being a cunt and a voracious horde of zombies.

Actually if the zombies found his particular brand of cunt appetising some of your problems would be solved, but by a cruel twist of fate it ain't going to happen. :sad1:

No if you read carefully I think what he is really saying is that he finds men in uniform very attractive an would like to impregnate them.

Let one take a small bite out of your forearm, allow yourself to slowly die from the subsequent infection and fever, duct tape sharp utensils/weapons to the entirety of your body, duct tape the cocked revolver to your hand, construct cumbersome body armor that protects your neck and limbs from being sever points, make your escape while you're near death, become lone zombie hunter and really freak out a survivor. It's the only way to go.

That only works with those sexy vampires.Once bitten by a zombie your only hope is to meet someone that triggers memories of your humanity. You will remain a zombie but gain back a bit of conscious thought.
Geez I guess it's clear who won't be surviving when the monsters take over.:mellow:

Except zombies don't really eat people, do they?
If they did, there wouldn't be any zombies.

Of all the zombie material I've read/seen so far only two make any sense...World War Z was an excellent overview of the effects of a pandemic (zombies) on all aspects of society and the Newsflesh trilogy actually has reasonably coherent explanation of the medical origins and repercussions of a zombie outbreak.
As for movies, I don't think anything will ever top Romero's original Night of the Living Dead (which I saw during it's original release).
Placed in context, few movies have been as horrifying (Alien would be comparable) and none as bleak.

Basically, I don't get all the zombie love lately.

It's not just zombie love, it's the apocalypse scenario. An end to all things that preoccupy us in our modern lifestyles and a pining to find ourselves forced to live in our fantasized primal roots. Something like that I believe. We don't seem to know what else to do about our regrets of advancing technology.

They just aired a black and white version of the premiere episode of The Walking Dead and for some reason b&w and zombies go together like summer days and cold beer.

Also to quote Rocky,let me tell you something that you probably already know,World War Z comes out in about a year starring no less than Brad Pitt.

Then there's Warm Bodies (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1588173/) which has a good director and interesting cast.

I actually read the book which although certainly has a unique premise ,doesn't really have a lot of places to go.

Thankfully, it appears that they won't have yet another season of waging a useless war against some little town or group. When Rick said he wanted to back and kill them all I was just about ready to be done with the show. But when they decided to move on I was as happy as I could be for the show and future plot. I would so much rather see them as nomads and experiencing different situations each week or even every couple of shows than these boring seasons of sitting in one place and using infinite amounts of ammo and even tanks. :dabs:

I think I might even like to see them change writers every season to freshen things up and keep new ideas moving.

IdolEyes787

10-14-2014, 10:11 PM

While I agree it would be more interesting to see what's actually happening to other people/other parts of the country,the story is somewhat hamstrung by having to follow, if only loosely,the plot of the comics.

Then there's the "reality" of the situation(yeah I know)where basically any human in that predicament would look for some home base that was defensible instead of constantly putting themselves at risk.

Now for the really bad news,there is a thing in literature called Chekhov's gun where you don't introduce something unless you intend to use it.
If Rick's group was all well and done with the Gareth and Termites then Rick wouldn't have specifically made mention of killing Gareth the machete with the red handle g and the show wouldn't have bypassed the opportunity of having Gareth suffering a gory onscreen death.

Agreed. Maybe I just have my head in the sand trying not to see the inevitable. Also, why would they have ever been caught, captured, etc. if the writers weren't ever going to go anywhere with that plot-line? I agree that it'll prob circle back around to that group in some way. They even made the point to look back at the building with Rick and see the main bad guy standing on the roof.

I think my perfect team would be all Negroes except for the quarterback because that position requires some brains and I so think an Asian would be better suited there and obviously in light of the recent World Cup, a German kicker.

Yeah I subscribe to that Moneyball,play the odds theory.

How come almost every great quarterback used to be from Pennsylvania and now they're from the South?

I have a theory that involves hockey and fried chicken and Southern women tending to look better but I'd like to have your views on the matter before saying something stupid.

Btw this all ties into upcoming episodes of The Walking Dead as at some point Rick grows bored of killing zombies and brooding and decides to start an Arena Football league.

Sorry for the spoilers Meg.*

Season 5 is looking like it may be the best one yet.

1. Isn't Beth a little too old for Daryl?
2. Carol f'd up some Terminus. :w00t:
3. Boxcar-made weapons FTW!

Sorry but I don't share your enthusiasm.In my opinion,having seen most episodes at least twice,the show hasn't really been good since sometime around when the got to the Center for Disease Control in season 1 and almost totally lacking in drama since Shane died.

Something like this suffers from (inevitable) predictability where even the main character deaths seem to be merely ticking off the boxes.
Also the group is so "capable" now that increasingly ludicrous situations are necessary to give the merest hint of desperate circumstance.

That and don't kill Beth even though they/re going to.

Yeah, maybe I got a little too excited with the gusto of the first episode. Watching the shows back-to-back gave it some decent pacing that I would not have had patience for on a weekly basis. Am now poised for this week's episode. I expect Beth will last through most of this season. Cute as a button! Actually thought her name was "Lew Temple" because she looks so much like Juno. Turns out Lew is a guy. :idunno:

Didn't care much for the Shane love triangle. Care even less for the crying baby in my zombie apocalypse. :dry::angry: If I wanted to listen to crying babies, I'd buy a movie ticket... Actually smiled when they showed the blood soaked infant seat. Died a little inside when they brought her back. :frusty:

The over-zealous militant guy and the internet geek pretending to be an uber-scientist arc isn't doing much for me, either.

Exploding propane tanks and human slaughterhouses- gimme more of that!

Because the knob who gets paid too much to produce that rubbish needs to pay a stranger with a half a brain to water down the next few average episodes he hasn't written yet into ten more real mediocre ones. :snooty:

Why oh why do they take long breaks in the middle of the season???

In the past shows used to run seasons of 30 episodes but now mostly due to economics only 22-24.Also shows used to do the full run of episodes and then repeat most of them immediately thereafter so during the course of the year the series was basically never off.

On the other hand The Walking Dead season consists of only 16 episodes(up run 13 the first couple of seasons when the network was still uncertain of it's success) so you do the math.

"they have to give the writer time to write more episodes"
Which is kind of what Alien5 said. :lol:

As opposed to every other show that doesn't have a ready-made comic book story to go off of and yet produces more episodes,some even with good dialogue and compelling characters and does it in less time.
OK let's all believe that.:mellow:

Also I understand they shoot on location but we'e not talking Game of Thrones let's build a whole medieval country production values here.

However, in a behind the scenes segment, it was mentioned that they film May through November. Judging from that, they aren't going to be filming between December and February when they come back...

I'm sick of seeing that link posted in various places week after week, because it is a problem for the show. It was the only time over the 12 week season (so far) that TWD has beat SNF.

I knew what was going to happen and I haven't had any desire to yet watch the episode. The storyline was created specifically so this could happen and as such wasn't integral to the overall plot and frankly absolutely no part of me could see how this would fall into the category of "entertainment" which strangely enough is why I tend to watch stuff.
It was put in simply to shock and grab rating and so basically, fuck off.

megabyteme

I remember you saying that it was going to happen. When you watch the episode, she makes a statement, and then does [something] that gets her [something]. I have an idea why she does what she says/does, but I would like your analysis as to what she means.

With her gone, I don't know how interested I will be from here on out. They seem to have pushed themselves into hopelessness all the way around. With only a couple of characters I still find any care for. Killing her off was a bad move, IMO.

Michonne, Daryl, and Carol. In that order. The rest range from "don't care" to "feed that fucking baby to the nearest Walker".

Read enough "day after" stuff to guess you're referring to the "I get it now" statement.

Thematically I would assume this is an extension of the series mantra that innocence and to some extent good(see Hershel/Dale and various minor characters) has no place in this world.Scenewise I think it was simply "nothing is going to change with you here" and not one of self sacrifice.

Anyway if a show ever yearned for a hero but steadfastly refuses to give you one it is this one.
Rick has long since fallen to mere "protagonist" and the default one of Daryl is as a character so one dimensional that I fairly sure he avoids enemies by turning sideways and disappearing.

On a somewhat related note the producer went into great detail on Rick statement of "You can't go back,Bob" echoing Gareth and how Rick realized this but in the moment also saw the truth in it.So now Rick's a similar monster.Oh peachy.:ermm:

I seem to remember you reading the graphic novels. What direction, if any, do they take? Has the series ventured into uncharted, navigationless waters, or is there a plot somewhere ahead?

IdolEyes787

12-06-2014, 07:04 PM

At the risk of sounding repetitive they find another seemingly perfect place ad everything seems to be going good until things go horribly wrong and a bunch of characters die.There is also another governor type only with none of his redeeming qualities.:ermm:

Being an actual scientifically proven psychic,I foretell a dropping in the ratings as the audience grows sick of the same old,same old.

Anyway I personally think the series works best when if varies location and gives some insight into stuff that is happening independent of the now sort of boring core group.They seem determined to stick to the stay in one boring place and alienate the fuck of me though.
They also seem unwilling to take certain characters like Coral into the truly dark territory that was the foundation of the comics and leave the truly vile stuff to the glorified red shirts.I think in movies/TV you need to better differentiate good and evil or else you run the risk of turning viewers off.
Again I 'd like to point out that it's entertainment and not real life and people look for something to root for,not puzzle over.

I have no trouble with the dismal. Live with a head full of it. Don't mind troubled characters. However, this season has just become bleak and directionless. The series has done a decent job of exploring various zombie apocalypse scenarios. Unfortunately, lost at sea makes for a boring drama without continuous struggles- which only work for short movie-length features, and possibly not a long-run series.

Kill that fucking baby first. FFS!

Theres a myth amongst the zombies that a high performance human can outrun a zombie, they soon realize it was just a myth.

Don't mind troubled characters.

I see you didn't get my point.Dramatically it's essential that every hero be flawed or else everything is too obvious and boring*.The fact that they're flawed though doesn't negate they still need to be heroes.

Anyone that disagrees with this probably keeps snakes as pets.

*To illustrate: Skiz loves whatever ghey football team he loves but if he knew for a fact before the season started they were going to go undefeated, most if not all of the interest of watching would be taken away.
But then he'd also be rich from betting on them so I guess his new Chevy Silverado would be a OK trade-off.:)

megabyteme

12-07-2014, 03:02 PM

I get the need for flawed heroes. His personal "growth" is what makes Daryl one of the characters I have started to like. Rick, on the other hand, has fallen into the "aww fuck it" category. He's now got less depth than Daryl had early on. Carol stepped up recently, which was kinda cool at the beginning of the season when she laid waste to the slaughterhouse. Michonne has long accepted the fact that things are shit, and she's going to survive. As long as everyone there works towards that interest, she'll stay- get too much off-track, and she'll cut-n-run.

When I say "troubled", I mean that as in full-blown antihero, if necessary. I don't need your Lancelot with a troubled heart for Guinevere level of hero. Heck, even the Governor was interesting. Before the Scooby Gang came along and fucked it up, they had a pretty decent community going. Not too unlike the US under the second Bush's reign. Sure, a few eggs get broken, but the omelette tastes alright...

I digress. My point is that directionless isn't much of a cliffhanger hiatus point. Beth represented the good worth fighting for.
