The Walking Dead: AMC-channel series Anyone psyched?

[LucyDuke]

We saw that at the Soap Opera Farm, that fence kept out the individuals pretty well until a herd accumulated and pushed it down. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same kind of thing happen again later.

bolded part is so true !

Anyway, anyone else looking forward to the next episode this sunday ?

 

[JamesCaesar]

Extremely excited for the new episode

 

[ace99]

I want some Michonne.

 

[ZeletDude]

Well the next episode should be pretty interesting and action packed!!

 

[JamesCaesar]

You shall get plenty of Michonne.

 

[Glassfan]

OK, Trivia question;

Is Michonne based on Lesley-Ann Brandt's character in Syfy's Zombie Apocalypse (2011), or are both Kitani-Girls based on the Comic? Might there be a third alternative?

 

[Yeekim]

I've now seen the first two seasons and I am unsure if I'll bother watching any more.
Complaining about not being able to suspend disbelief regarding a show based on zombie apocalypse may sound stupid... but seriously, I just can't take it any more.

The chick with chained walkers was the last straw for me, I think.
Also, the characters seem like plot devices rather than actual characters. Irritating plot devices, I might add.

Michonne is awesome! How can you not like Michonne?

 

[Murky]

Michonne is awesome! How can you not like Michonne?

She's one of the best characters from the comics.

 

[LucyDuke]

She's also one of the greatest stretches. The only character I can think of that's less plausible is the Governor.

I would encourage anyone that's finished season 2 and isn't sure about season 3 to go ahead and watch the first few. There have only been three so far and it's been a huge change of pace since dull-ass season 2.

I just re-read the prison arc and I'm very impatient about watching the screen version.

Third episode bored me somewhat, I already know what's beneath the surface of the Governor and Woodbury so building all sorts of intrigue and suspense there is just not interesting to me. Hopefully they'll get back to things actually happening now that they've established creepiness.

 

[Winner]

Liking it so far.

(And yes, everybody is infected. The bites just kill you. If you die for other reason, you'll come back as a walker just as well.)

 

[ace99]

The Governor's aquarium of heads intrigues me.

However the way he wears is gun is driving me insane.

Having not read the comics, it's been a fascinating episode for me. Someone came back that just shocked me and then the scene with (was that a Walhberg?) shocked me. I mean, I suspected something off about him, but not to that extent.

Spoiler :

Glen Mazzara said very plainly that they killed T-Dog as a distraction so that the audience would figure "well, there's this episode's death" and not expect Lori to kick off. Awful, awful reason to kill him, but ickily appropriate given all his character's depth. And I think Oscar's already had more lines than T-Dog.

In the room with the generators, as roflarious as Daryl looked sneaking up behind Oscar after he Donkey Konged and shot Andrew, why wasn't he at the door? (And where were Glenn and Axel hiding while they were in there? The five were together until that scene and then came back out to the yard together, but those two weren't in the generator room.) It was even worse than when the biters got bored waiting outside the cafeteria they rushed Hershel into. With that kind of attention span it should be easy as crap to just duck behind something to hide for two minutes until they lose interest and shamble off.

And yeah, Rick, I hope that teaches you something about leaving people for dead.

Still bored senseless by Woodbury. Not hating Andrea lasted a total of two episodes. I understand that it's been a while since she could relax, and since she's gotten laid, but ffs be straight with Michonne about wanting to stay.

 

[Glassfan]

Wow. This show doesn't disappoint...
"It was the most explosive and shocking Walking Dead episode of the season, and if you have not yet seen it for yourself, then cease reading immediately and come back once you have. [SPOILER ALERT: Seriously, stop reading now if you have yet to watch Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead.]"

Spoiler :

damn that disappoints me. I never even considered it.

I mean there are so many episodes with no death in it why would they think people think that? "Every episode gotta have a death I guess" is not the conclusion from all of season 2 on the soap opera farm looking around the woods for 1 girl.

It's fine to kill people off just because that's what happens. Tdog died realistically--blindsighted trying to close a fence. I would think someone of Tdog's competency could have done better, since it's not THAT important to close that 1 fence if you assume the whole prison's defense is down, but people make mistakes and it was heat of the moment.

Spoiler :

Andrea (i guess that's blonde lady chicks name?) is just awful in every possible regard imaginable.

I do really like the way other internet people describe lori's death, something like:
"I'm a bit disappointed Lori didn't suffer for her death, the way I suffered for 2 seasons having to watch her"

Personally I think it's a good death to have her die in childbirth. It just makes sense with no modern medicine, etc. Though I'm not excessively keen on the drama timing that immediately seemed to cool down (I kinda skimmed through those birth scenes, but what happened to the zombies that were in the halls where carl mom and farmgirl ran into the mechanical room to hide? No one killed them. They just shambled on away conveniently making it easy for carl and farmgirl to walk out back to the outside? Not to mention they kinda had to run around and make multiple turns in heat-of-the-moment, so I would anticipate them to run into some zombies as they make their way out/are semilost).

Like it was BIG EMOTION HERE IN MIDDLE OF ZOMBIES oh wait forget zombies/breach of perimeter/hordes of zombies in corridor, they all get cleaned up no problem I guess. lori died, everyone sad, FIN

season 3 is 99999999x better than season 2 so far, I was ready to abandon ship after the soap opera farm (Great term!).

I didn't read the comics but since it already deviates from what little kind of spoilers I had, I'll see how Woodbury turns out.

Yeah, they disperse pretty quickly when it's convenient. I wouldn't mind it as much if it was consistent and the characters noticed that they got bored and left so quickly, but as it is it feels more convenient than real.

(To be fair,

Spoiler :

Carl seemed to be banking on them just walking by the closed door, but we didn't see any encounters in the halls or anything after that, so that's not much in the way of redemption.)

 

[ace99]

I really don't sympathize with these characters at all.

Spoiler :

I got so bored of Lori's death scene that I walked away and did something else until she stopped squalling.

I like how they killed off one token black only to immediately replace him with another.

Spoiler :

He jumped away from the door earlier in that scene to save Rick.
