one_klump Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'm kinda worried about the guy who cut off his hand. I can't get into it without spoilers though: What if they make the guy who cut off his own hand the leader of the town that attacks the group in the prison? He was missing a hand after the katana chick cut it off, among other bodyparts. The guy who kept his zombiefied little girl chained in the house and had all her teeth removed so he could kiss her...

Grand Admiral Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I don't think they're going to get that far into the story. I expect Merle to die before the end of this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zor Primus Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Well considering the comic series is still running, and if the popularity/quality of the show continues growing whats to stop AMC from going deep into the series?

Warmaker Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I like the show quite a bit. Hope they can go somewhere great with it. It's the first TV show I've followed in 8 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vile Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) There are disadvantages to using guns against the zombies, if the series follows the comic in that respect. Say no more ... Edited November 20, 2010 by Vile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dio Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Disclaimer: I have not read the comic. I'm a bit torn by this show. I think I have to understand the context, that they're trying to tell a story as though the characters have never considered or been aware of a "zombie" situation, despite decades of media and fiction existing on the subject. A zombie scenario these days would play out more like Zombieland, I think. That being said, if Night of the Living Dead had never come out, and this was the first time the premise had ever been told by a film/miniseries, this show is downright excellent. Like another poster above, my wife is freaked out by the show, and it definitely hits all the right notes as far as character drama, scene setup, and the casting/directing is great. I was skeptical at first, but am now hooked. I do have to question the choice of what to use the hack saw on in the latest episode though, since the metal rod or the small chain would probably have been more easy to cut through...

EXO Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I think you have to approach these kinds of stories as if the characters have never heard of zombies. Just like Ripley has never ever heard of the type of alien she encounters in Alien. They don't even call them zombies, they call them walkers. If there was zombie lore it'd be easy just to say, "hey there's zombies and they're real now!" In a werewolf movie they hardly every say werewolf. They always say it was a giant wolf like monster! that walked like man. Usually it's only in less serious do they ever say "what? vampires exist?" You gotta remember also that Michael Rooker's character was high on cocaine and was already a bit off kilter to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboy00z Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I personally want to see a movie or (TV series) where people know about zombies. Like as if Z day happened in real life, what would people do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Oh man, did they get jacked up this episode. But then again, what do you expect keeping in a stationary, unprotected spot all the time? With hindsight of course, first time a Walker came over should've been warning enough to start looking elsewhere. I didn't think they'd off the younger sister this early.

With hindsight of course, first time a Walker came over should've been warning enough to start looking elsewhere. I didn't think they'd off the younger sister this early. Indeed, you'd think they'd be more on the look out after encountering the first one. And this last episode certainly had me on the edge of my seat. Can't wait for next weeks!

Graham Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Still in two minds about this show. I'm a huge fan of the comic, have been for years.

Vile Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) I think the first season is 6 episodes, right? I'm not against changes to keep things fresh and surprising, but I hope it doesn't drift totally away from the comic story ... I like the comic story ...

dreamweaver13 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Last episode was amazing! I haven't seen zombie make-up that astounding since... well.. ever. great quality, great writing, letting the plot build up from one tension-filled scene to another. i am loving this series, and i will be depressed during the wait for the second season.

To quote another of my all-time favorite movies: "The chain in those cuffs is high-tensile steel. It'd take you ten minutes to hack through it with this. Now, if you're lucky, you could hack through your ankle in five minutes. Go." Although, I must admit, I'm not sure of the "average time" it takes to hack through a wrist or ankle with a hacksaw...but that guy was definitely pressed for time.

EXO Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 His brother also addresses it in the show. The teeth on the blades were dulled. It was faster to cut thru skin and bones. Must have been horrific... actually I just saw 127 hours so I dont have to imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyPenguins Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 another great episode tonight I gotta say I'm glad they decided to leave that camp, I know I wouldn't have stayed there. I also wonder if Morgan and his son are still alive, I hope they are and I hope they meet up with Rick and the others. The preview for the final episode of season one should be interesting, looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 on the EW article, it looks like it'll be debuted on Halloween again. I don't think they want to mess with their Mad Men schedule either, even though they're double the ratings number that former #1 show, I think they would want to milk their good raitings throughout the year. I really have to start watching Breaking Bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zor Primus Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) on the EW article, it looks like it'll be debuted on Halloween again. That would really suck 11 month hiatus is insane, BSG and even LOST did not take that long. I'm of the opinion that the article is a bit older then the last ratings and the network will forward the schedule a few months. Vader doesn't like the idea of next October either...
