Lost was really expensive to film, and the seasons were all written in advance. People can debate whether the show was pre-planned to certain degrees, but the seasons definitely were written out at once.
So as far as budget and production goes, it's similar to any major cable show or mini-series. Actually, being on network TV probably helped the show by allowing it to have a bigger budget to film on location, and have a bunch more episodes that didn't go to waste (spent on individual characters). As you can tell, I'm in love with Lost. |

Me not liking lost had nothing to do with the network it was on, and more to do with the writing and premise of the show.

Indeed. I wish there was a shorter season break though. I know 6 episodes is reasonable for a first season, but it's not unheard of to have the second season start earlier.

Damn, just got into this, amazing. Awesome at staging emotional scenes, which is not something I thought I'd ever say about a zombie show. But that scene in the first ep that cut between Morgan with the rifle and Rick putting down the legless zombie, that was some of the best TV I've ever seen.
Also Michael Rooker is stone cold fucking crazy and I love him for it. |

I have a feeling that the camp intrusion was caused on purpose by Merle.

I'm guessing Merle is either gonna end up an unlikely hero, or Darryl will be forced to kill him. Possibly while he's still alive.

I don't trust that Jim guy. Almost certain that fucker had something to do with the zombies at the camp. Anybody else notice how he just casually walks away when it starts, takes out 1 zombie, and then casually walks back after all the walkers are dead?
That guy is whacked out of his mind. Him and Merle no doubt have something sinister planned or something. I am however liking how they're gradually turning Merle's brother into less of a dick and a bit more of an antihero. Lol @ Glen being a pizza boy. Last thing, was anyone else waiting for the blonde chicks sister to turn and then sit up and bite her sisters face off? |

Why are you guys so convinced someone "let" the zombies in to the camp?

Just the way that so many zombies just so happened to appear undetected and all of a sudden when they hadn't had any problems prior to that incident. Granted there was the 1 in episode 3 that was eating the deer, but aside from him, there were no real indications there were zombies anywhere near them. Could've been let into the camp by someone, or they could've slowly creeped their way there when Glen's car alarm was going crazy, who knows, but at this point in time I'm calling foul play on that camp attack.

They set it up like it was so obviously going to happen, but I guess they don't turn that fast in this series. I mean the girl got bit on the arm and then the neck. She's laying there bleeding to death with her sister sitting on top of her, with her blood all over her hands crying, and I'm just sitting there thinking, "this stupid bitch is so fucked if/when her sister turns into a zombie."
I still say though that Jim is hiding something. I swear I hope they don't say his "dream" had something to do with this. The show is amazing as is and it doesn't need some whacked out idea screwing it up. |

I thought Jim was digging everyones grave and would eventually snap and kill someone.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching Shane beat that guy's (earl?) ass on episode 3. |

I think the zombie from episode 3 was the indicator that zombies were headed that way. For all Merle knew his brother was in the camp so I doubt he would lead the zombies to him.

Been watching (and loving the hell out of) this show. I didn't think I was going to like any of the new characters that weren't in the comic, but a lot of them have really grown on me (the crazy-ass rednecks in particular; Merle is just the most entertaining kind of scum).
Also, I was actually starting to feel bad for Shane until Lori's reveal in the third episode (not sure if we're keeping the thread spoiler-free). So yeah, fuck him. |

Yeah they foreshadowed it with that. I think if Merle was looking for revenge he'd do it himself, rather than somehow leading the zombies there.

Yeah Lori definitely seemed like a straight up stone cold bitch till that reveal. But I'm not absolutely convinced Shane did it in malice. Could've just been bad information.

Or perhaps it was done in a "doing it to protect you, get you to move on and survive" kind of way.

I bet Merle's brother ends up being the one to put Merle down. Like Merle will try to shoot the black dude or someone and Merle will shoot him and save the guy.

You would have to assume that somebody in a coma in a hospital overrun with zombies has no chance of survival...that could have been his reasoning.

people turn at different rates in the book. it's not really covered why. one person turns instantly; another person doesn't turn for (at least) hours, possibly days - it's not really established, but it's at minimum 6 hours for the other person. so i don't think there's really a set time frame for how long it takes.

I thought it was a comic, not a book?
Anyway, didn't they have cans and such stringed up around the camp as a warning for stray zombies. Someone (Merle) must have taken them down to let the zombies in. |

Can we tie Ermaximus up and pummel him the corner to stop him from claiming what he thinks will happen since I'm pretty sure he's already read some/all of this ahead of the show?
