The Walking Dead
AMC knows how to make a tv show. So when i heard about a Zombie show AMC is making, i creamed my pants and ate it.

Wow, looks really good. Gonna have to download this at some point or something.
Also, at the end of that trailer when they're crawling over the tank, I can hear the sound the Dragonzord used to make in Power Rangers. :lol: |
Just watched it. Loved it. Has the potential to be one of my favorite shows. The premiere was awesome. Everything I expected, but that's a good thing.
|
The Walking Dead is one of my favorite comic books ever, so I am seriously psyched about this.
|
This show made me excited during the Mad Men finale, gave me hope for post Mad Men.
|
Good song for the trailer
|
fantastic. So much better then i thought it would be. And i thought it would be really good.
|
Agreed - just saw the first episode. I honestly thought it was going to be a bit shit - it bloody wasn't.
IMDB only has 6 episodes listed, is that all there is? |
Just watched this tonight with some friends. They all seemed to enjoy it; plus I did as well. I would consider the 3 of them more average viewers of TV; me a little higher up and snobby. But was fun, suspenseful. Def interested in more to see where things go.

Almost here. Sunday Night!!!!
|
damn. hell of a start. can't wait to see where they go with it
|
It was awesome. I loved it. I am liking the pacing as well.
|
Good show.
|
Only seen episode 1, when my mate apparently got 2 episodes in the torrent he used, which has pissed me off that I didn't get it, but oh well.
Loved it. Big factor is that I'm a longtime fan of Andrew Lincoln, he's come a long way! and he's a good, potentially great actor. |
I would have liked a bit more mystery on the wife and kid and the friend...like maybe wait until episode 2 or 3 to reveal them.
|
It sort of felt like that was the start of the second episode though, but they extended it. I definitely got the sense it was extended a half hour
|
I recorded it last night, can't wait to watch it. How good is it on a scale of 1 to Christina Hendrick's boobs?
|
crap, I forgot to watch this. was watching AMC all day and was excited for this, but got caught up in the world series game last night. I'll have to check to see when they air it again
|
i enjoyed it. understand what liberties they've taken from the source material for the purposes of tv, so i'm pretty happy with how faithful they've been so far all things considered.
|
Yeah it was alright. Looks like it won't just be a mindless scream fest. I'll try to keep watching it for now.
|
Pretty good emotion. It is AMC so this will be a Character driven show.
That black dude trying to kill his wife, while staying strong for his kid was a good scene. |

|
I quite enjoyed it. Definitely could have waited longer with the wife and kid thing though, wasn't really any need to tip the hand so early with that.

Hope this show takes off and that next season is much longer. Would love to see it do well, as it is the first good horror show I think I've ever seen. And it's not even scary.. it's just the suspense of it, and thinking of a zombie outbreak in real life terms.. like, 'what would actually happen?' sort of shit.
|
I hope it can be my new Lost. I never really get into TV shows anymore, but I love this
|
Friday @ 10pm est is the replay is anyone like myself missed it
|
There will never be a new LOST or anything like it again. Pretty sure of that. Maybe when I'm like 60?
|
I'm not saying it will be Lost. I'm just saying I don't watch many tv shows and I'm looking for something to fill that void.
It's got the elements of something I could really get into. It's not like Lost was the new X-Files, but in many ways it filled that void for a lot of people. |
Yeah, I guess, at the mo these are the shows I'm into and fill the LOST void with:
Walking Dead Modern Family South Park Family Guy Bored To Death Cheers - love the show, never seen all of them all the way through, I'm on season 5 of 11 now. It's awesome. |
Yea. I like other comedy shows, but I was mainly getting at it being a character driven drama with a sci-fi/horror touch.

Am I using deviate right? I don't think I am.

I watched it earlier today, and was quite impressed.
The pacing was great, the acting was pretty solid all around, and I was honestly surprised by how good the zombies looked too. The "bike girl" zombie in particular was fantastic: the way they were able to do it without making her look like a puppet or done with CGI, but actually look like someone who's been torn in half and is still moving around. Very impressive effects work. |
loved it so much I played l4d2 for an hour after.
|
Just watched it. I'm not big into "zombie" stuff, but this was pretty good.
Was totally drawn in by everything. |

I have decided to read the comic book concurrently with the TV show.
So I'm gonna read up until it gets to the point where it leaves off in the latest episode. |
Well, that was fast. First ep = roughly one and half issues.
|
I watched this on demand last night and was blown away by the character development. This show is going places. Still can't believe his wife and kid are with his old partner from the force. I'd also like to know how long the main character was in a coma/the hospital.
|
What a bloody great first episode. Haven't been this excited about a tv show in a long time.
|
Quote:
|
Yeah... I thought I was gonna be reading like... the first TPB or something, but no... not even two issues.
|
I've read the first few issues as well, and I'm really happy with how much the series is getting out of it.
There's really a lot of potential there in a television series to delve much deeper. |
I kinda feel as though his wife was cheating on him with his partner before the coma, but I dunno...havent seen the books.
Downloaded in HD because I missed the premier and loved it. Hour long episode was better than Romero's last 3 films. |
Quote:
really good show. I'm glad they are pacing everything to build the characters the horse getting nabbed sucked though. hate watching animlas die. I really believed the Sheriff was a goner for a second. love the forshadowing when Morgan says to the sheriff watch you ass when you see a group of the dead. glad I found another show to watch as they are pretty thin right now |
Well you saw the partner leading up to where Rick gets shot. You later see the same guy kissing some woman. You then see a picture of this same woman and the kid in Rick's car.
|
Michael Rooker is on the show :love: one of my fav actors. he always plays the bad ass guy
|
they left him on the roof :mad:
|
Don't worry. The guy dropped his bag of tools including the hacksaw (Jim Duggan). Plus they'll go back for him.
Little will they know he's going to be free already. And very angry. DA DA DAAAAAAAA P.S. I haven't read the next issues. I'm just talking out my ass. But probably. |
Wife is mad slutty.
Like your husband hasnt been dead for more than a few months and you are getting hit from behind in a field while some strangers watch your kid? Dunno. |
yea, that was pretty hot.
|
At least she had the decency to take her ring off. The slag.
Good second episode. Maybe I just watch too much TV, but the instant I heard the first bit of thunder I thought "yeah, it's going to start raining and wash the zombie guts off them". |
I don't read/don't care about/know little about comics so I have no previous 'affiliation' to The Walking Dead but this is fast becoming one of my favourite shows.

love this show so much. love it even more because sarah wayne callies is the woman i want to marry, and i had no idea she was going to be on it.
|
AMC orders 13 more episodes for next season
|
I'm stoked about the grenade.
|
Covering themselves in Zombie guts to blend in was pretty clever. I've never seen a zombie story actually explore how zombies are able to detect humans, let alone see the humans pull something like that to try to blend in. In Shaun of the Dead they acted like zombies to get through a crowd, but that was more of a joke.
This presented an actual explanation. Hopefully they keep doing new things like that. |

I love the chick taking it in the ass right off the top of the show. It's like Brady Anderson hitting lead off HR's for the Orioles in the 90's
|
Probably the only form of effective post-apocalyptic contraception. Would you want to bring a child into a zombie infested world?
|
No i agree. I wouldnt risk it at all. She's swallowing it for sure.
|
According to the Dawn of the Dead remake, if you are pregnant and you get bitten you will bear a zombie baby. If you are infected but have not yet become a zombie and you get a chick pregnant will she become a zombie or have a zombie baby? Is this covered in the books?
|
HEre is why I hate internet people. On another forum, a guy claimed he was never watching this show again, because the red card Glenn stole cant be hotwired in real life because it has a transponder key, and mistakes like that ruin shows.
For real. Who cares? |
But he is okay with the living dead.
|
Right. Same guy also complains that There is no bottom hatch on that model of tank.
|
that guy's definately not nailing any chicks from behind

Took that bender like 4 seasons. |
yes but he also got the sexier redhead version so kudos to him.
|
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. |
Like they are all "OK, ARC KILLS NAZIS"
WTF BOMB FRIDGE! |
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, its all good. Definitely gonna stop trying to read it though. Enjoying the show way too much to "read ahead". |
I cannot believe that season 2 of this show will not start until OCTOBER OF 2011.
That is just totally fucking ridiculous. |
they keep deviating further from the book, i am not sure what's going on with that dixon guy and how he's going to fit in to it all :-\
|
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. |
