Also, I wonder if Zombies need to stop and drop a deuce every now and then. I mean, clearly their digestive system works enough that things wind up in their stomach. If they didn't void it every now and then, they'd kind of all just get fat and explode after awhile.

I now would like to see a scene where they sneak up on a Zombie who is dropping a deuce and chop his head off. Then crack some witty toilet humor joke.

Amazingly this is something i haven't thought of before.

Still trying to find a proper link or torrent of this episode. Is it worth it?

Thanks. :y:

Zombie excrement in general has to be the most horrible thing in the history of mankind considering what they eat. Damn, what a scene that would be.

I was actually wondering the poop thing to, specifically when they were going through the stomach contents. What goes in has to come out right? They'd have to shit their pants, they don't seem coordinated/smart enough to be dealing with pants when pooping.

Sounds like the perfect role for Cena. We all know he's the king of poopy jokes.

Just watching it now and seeing what you guys mean about the Zombie's not smelling them there. I suppose this sort of thing is what happens with new writers.

A small detail, I'm already over it.

And the original writer already set out this season's outline before he left. So it's not as drastic as say... what happened to Heroes.

Heroes just went to shit after the first season. Huge difference.

Generally speaking. I don't think the change in writers will be catastrophic.

Thought the episode was quite good other than that 'minor detail'. I'm excited for the rest of the series now but wish they wouldn't fucking show aload of next weeks episode straight after it. Just spoils the point of a cliffhanger. Turned that off quickly so it didn't spoil too much.

Episodes are pretty long, man.

If the zombies can't smell them though, then what's stopping them from just going all shaun of the dead and walking around like zombies?

Stupid plothole is stupid.

Get over it. Don't be one of those.

Guess 'suspenseful scene in traffic' was more important than making sense/keeping continuity.

Whatever. I will still watch it because the rest of the show was generally good. Just kind of disappointed because it tarnished what was otherwise a fantastic show. Guess I can't expect every show to be perfect though.

Jesus you need some tea.

Fear, perhaps? They did try that once if you remember and it didn't work out.

I assumed it was because there were so many bodies around in the traffic the smell of the few humans was masked. They were basically hiding right under a bunch of dead people after all. I guess we have no way of knowing unless the issue presents itself again.

Last year really was into this show. This year I'm just ok with it. Seems like I stopped caring about all the characters over the year break besides a very few. If all the women got killed on the show I would not complain. Still parts of this season I really enjoy, but overall just doesn't feel like there is that same magic for me. But that could be me and not the show, because last year I had a diamond cutting hard on for halloween and this year I don't care as much about it either.

Once again with this season, I have begun to read the comic books concurrent with the episodes. Last episode brings us up to Issue #10.

On the whole, though, the TV show is pretty different. Lots more stuff added, a few things left out...

The TV show is better.

I agree. The women on the show are awful. I told my gf while we were watching the show that if zombies were real I'd shoot her in the head just out of convinence. It was not real received.

Renewed for season 3 already.

The executive producer chimed in on this, and he pretty much echoed what I already thought... They're zombies. They don't have super senses. They can smell in the same way humans can smell for the most part. Yeah, a zombie can smell a human, and know there's something "different" about it, but they're not basset hounds. Just like you could smell a dog next to you, but you may not smell one several feet away.

I've been re-reading the comic, and I gotta say, I really hope they don't turn Rick into some selfless paragon of virtue for the whole show. Hoping TV Rick follows the same general arc as Comic Rick. I'd love to see what Andrew Lincoln would do with the transition from noble small town cop to something a little more savage.

Looks like she won't debut until season 3. :(

EDIT: Only for you Lock Jaw.

Put comic book stuff in spoilers please.

Michone is barely a spoiler, so much as what goes down with her.

Don't care.

Yeah. I gotta agree with Lock Jaw on the comic book spoilers, no matter how minor.

so with shane sticking around, is a write-off? since he should've been there when .

also, as much as i am growing to fucking love dixon ("am i the only one who's zen around here? good lord." :heart:), i really hope he doesn't serve as a replacement for down the line, since they're pretty similar in a few ways. kind of love that character.

and also weighing in on the zombie smell thing, i excused it via a combination of a) the not-a-basset-hound theory and b) the presence of several other dead things helping to mask the smell. so i can deal. you can too.

I'd be pretty surprised to see Abe, Rosita, and Eugene at all in the series. They just don't seem to even be that important to the comic so far.

I'm so glad I don't read comics.

So. This happened to me last season as well.

But I have once again been having recurring dreams about living in a world full of zombies.

Not "recurring" as in the same dream all the time.... but in the way that the plots continue from night to night.

Last night ran afoul of an old character who was thought to be dead. Turns out he had just gone crazy and now ruled over a small area with an iron fist... and wanted to "marry" me off to his daughter... who was a zombie.

Narrowly escaped.

Before I woke up, I had reconnected with my group and we had joined forces with another small group to head for somewhere else.

do you get more story in each dream? because if so that sounds awesome

Probably the best ep of the series tonight. Don't even know where to start with what I loved about it.

Too much yapping going on in this show. I honestly don't care about the kids. If I were running this show, crazy carl and that other little twat would have died horrific deaths, just so the viewers knew this shit was for real.

Like that scene in From Dusk Til Dawn where the asian son is getting eaten by vamps and the sister shoots him in the head. That's how shit is done. That's what they need to do with that little girl.

This show needs to pick up the pace and raise the bar. I've seen all of this before.

Good start with Shane though.

Totally agree.

And for god sakes can they drive anything other then a 1980's pickup truck. Tons of cars just sitting around with keys and gas. You don't go to a zombie infested area with a old pickup truck. Seriously!

I hated the show last night. I was really hoping Carl and Sophia died. The only interesting thing about last night was Shane dropping the leg on Otis and joining the NWO.,
