I have faith that cop guy is resourceful enough to find some hair dye before the end of a potential 3rd season

I'd love to hear what that guy has to say about Lost. It would hilarious. Despite feeling that way, he's the type of guy who wouldn't be able to help feeling like the show owes him something. I can never understand why people who feel that way about fiction keep watching it. It's like people who give me shit about thinking Indiana Jones surviving a bomb test in a fridge is awesome, because I'm watching an Indiana Jones movie and not a Woody Allen movie. |

There's also:
"How can an Indiana Jones movie be able ancients who worship aliens? Aliens?! That's not Indy. Aliens aren't real. Chasing artifacts pertaining to Christian, Judaism and Voodoo fairy tales is okay, but for the love of god not Mayans/Aliens!" |

Just watched the second episode. Great stuff.
Then went to go read the comic... and... we are ALMOST to the end of the second issue. Think I might stop trying to read the comics concurrently with the show. |

nah see they jumped ahead and fused 2 trips to the city into one in the episode - in the book, rick and glenn go back to the city to try the guts idea, they don't use it the first time they're leaving. writers truncated and turned both trips into one, so you're actually behind an issue or so.

I cannot believe that season 2 of this show will not start until OCTOBER OF 2011.
That is just totally fucking ridiculous. |

Haven't read the books so I'm just going to take a wild swing and guess...
They are gonna swerve us. They'll find Merle Dixon alive and rescue him, but Daryl Dixon will be lost in the process... the first we get to see of a character being "zombified". |

yeah but that's what i'm saying, the dixons aren't even in the book so no idea where they're going with it. besides, who gets zombiefied in the book first matters more than made-for-tv daryl.

I wouldn't worry too much about how it reconciles with the book. It's easy for me to say, since I haven't read past the first issue, but I really would just strap in for a seperate experience.

Shiiiit, 6 episodes? I thought we'd get 12-13
And yeah, a year between seasons starting is perfectly normal, just maybe seems a bit much because it's 'new and exciting' or something. I felt the same way after watching all of Breaking Bad in a few weeks a couple of months back and finding out the next season wasn't until June. |

Jesus. 6 episodes and then nearly a year long wait? That's pretty shit. Hopefully that doesn't happen between 2 and 3, and so forth.

13 is still short. That means it's more like half a season. A full season is about 22 episodes.

Holy fuck. Seriously? We have to wait about 10 in a half months for season 2?

It's a ridiculously long wait after only 6 episodes.
A year 'between' seasons is normal when there are 22 episodes in a season, so the show could end in May and resume in September. I guess with it getting a start late in the season, etc. there has to be a gap for the holidays and whatnot, but don't understand why it has to wait until October again - and then only 13 episodes. |

Only on ABC/NBC/Fox etc (Lost, West Wing, 24 etc) are there that many eps. What I gather are the 'premium' networks (HBO/Showtime/AMC etc) 12/13 eps is standard (The Wire/Sopranos/Breaking Bad/Mad Men/The Shield/Entourage/Dexter/Californication etc etc)

I hope October is because due to filming and post-production- not for the October gimmick of being appropriate for Halloween.

Because if they could get it out on TV a few months earlier, it would be nice. Waiting for March and then October for new South Park sucks, this is x2 longer.

Fall is when shows tend to premiere.
Either way, that's a longer than usual wait. |

Yeah, I hope they can maintain the high quality in season 2 and don't "run into budget problems".
Also, I wonder what the show is gonna do when Rick's kid starts to grow like mad through the off-season, but is still supposed to be the same on the show. |

Fair enough. Nothing about Lost is really what you would consider a product of network television though. The content and direction holds no punches. It's totally out there, and doesn't make any bones about being it's own thing.
It's pretty complex at points, and it's got it's share of science fiction and non-linear storytelling. It was never watered down for network TV, and abc sort of just let them run with it. It was never the highest rated show or anything. So I wouldn't lump it in with typical network crap. If anything, it was more similar to a cable/hbo show. It did have a few romantic story-lines, but they were never dominant. It was really just there, which even the most esteemed cable shows seem to require. |
