And I just mentioned that scene because we finally knw why they "weren't infected" at that time.
Oh and I think T-Dog was in that scene even though he was supposed to be watching Merle on the roof. Movie mistake! :)

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Overall loved this season, by the way. I definitely liked the second half better, but I enjoyed every episode.

Can anyone spill some spoilers and explain (just a little) who the samurai with two pet zombies on chains is?

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Origin comic which just appeared in Playboy this month. Huh. Could have swore this was known already. Guess she just mentioned it.



If don't want to read that (and is annoying to do so in a video): She was an attorney who had practiced fencing. When the apocalypse hit she found katanas at a neighbor's house. The zombies with her are her boyfriend and his best friend. Cut off their arms and lower jaws so they couldn't attack her and uses them as camo.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Please explain what this means.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Ugh. I thought that whole idea of covering yourself with zombie gore was retarded. They were trying not to get infected by whatever it was that was causing the zombies. So why would you COVER YOURSELF with zombie flesh and blood? "As long as it doesn't get into your eyes, right?"

And now in the last episode we find out that they had been infected the whole time. So it finally makes sense...

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

One of my most favourite tv serie which I love a lot.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Found this very cool.



And a preview clip from Season 3:

SWEEEEEET

Merle's back, baby. Merle's back.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Hello dude,

I am huge fan of horror Tv Show and Movies...The Walking Dead is My one of best Tv show....THe character of this Tv show look real ghost...I shock to see the character of this tv show......

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Well Mr. Buttler, Merle truly is a ghost from the past. It is a good shock to see him back.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

It's back. Thought that was a solid first episode.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

It was good, but I continue to be amazed that the dumbest people on earth appear to the ones who survive the zombie apocalypse. They just make the most horrible choices.

We'll take this old man, our only doctor and person capable of delivering a baby, and put him on the front lines!

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Second episode was also really good. This season is shaping up nicely.

I'm so glad Rick killed Mexican-Shane. Really shows the character has learned not to even let crap like that get started anymore. Was also interesting to see how the hardened criminals reacted to Rick and company, who, after everything they've went through, are way more tough.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

I'm a bit late with watching this, so here are my thoughts on episode 1:

- Have they never seen real pregnant women? They don't look like someone trying to keep a pillow under their shirt. They also can't wear skinny jeans.
- Apparently we're starving... but there's no way we're eating dog food! We'd rather die than eat dog food, seriously!
- Hey we've found the perfect way to dispose of zombies! You just lure them to a fence and stab them through the head. Now that we know that, let's waste all our bullets on them and when we have no more bullets, let's enter an enclosed area and try our luck in hand to hand combat. No one lives forever, right?
- I've asked this in season 2... but if you turn zombie, does the bone in your skull disappear? Apparently you can perforate one with the blunt side of a broomstick.
- Ok we abandoned the cars, have no food and are now in a square mile's field with no roof above our heads. Can we please stay here forever?? Pleeeease? If we had some seeds we could even grow some vegetables to stay alive! In the mean time let's sing songs around the campfire so the viewers will understand that we have found ultimate happiness.
- Weren't they like really good at hugging a zombie and then stabbing it to death? Why do they start running like a bunch of morons when they're inside and see some zombies come around the corner?
- I'm an Afro-American chick with a sword! My role in this series is to look angry!
- I'm a redneck badass with a crossbow, but when I get really scared I try to wave the zombies away with my flashlight!
- So one guy (as Vampyr already pointed out: let's put our only doctor on the front line!) gets bitten in his leg and it's bleeding. He's already infected so all we need to do is keep him from dying. Hmm how do we stop the bleeding? ... I know! Let's cut off his leg!!! He'll be forever thankful!
- Wait, we almost forgot the drama! What can we come up with this time? Eh ok so Rick doesn't want to talk to his wife, ok? Woah we'll have enough drama to last the whole season!

Ok that's about it. Apart from that, the episode was decent.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

I'm just not gonna believe it until next week! >.<

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

RIP T-Dog. I was happy he was finally getting more lines. Should have known.



Wasn't feeling anything during the Lori and Carl scene. Thought it was too bad since I usually get really emotionally involved in the shows I watch. But then that the flashback...and then seeing Rick's reaction. :baby:

Also really liked the Governor's twitch when he was speaking to Merle.

I'm just waiting until zombie baby. Has to happen.

Yeah, that is odd. This ep had Glen slice a skull completely in half with what was probably a dull knife.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Maybe I'm just over the whole nerd rage thing, or maybe Season 2 set the bar so low for absolute pile of shit, but damn!

This season is fucking good! And they are deviating from the comics.

I like it.

I have....nothing to really nitpick about. Sure, the show isn't Breaking Bad, but it never will be. They really turned this show around with Season 3, and I'm ready to eat my hat or whatever.

Also: Dexter. Another show that went to fuck-shit-fuck after Season 2 and cruised controlled into the crapper, and surprisingly turned it around big time this season.

What the fuck is going on? Who cares?! I have entertainz.

Also, RIP Lori. You were a proverbial thorn in my real ass. But we all loved you. And you lasted longer than the black guy.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Ok I'm up-to-date with the show again. What can I say? People had to die, it was time for a change. But I actually expected Rick to go before Lori. It would be nice to see what happens to the group when Rick dies. Daryl would probably go solo while the rest would try to find another 'leader'.

Anyway, I still think it's stupid how they handle the zombies. Like in the last episode, why wasn't anyone carrying his melee weapon? That was incredibly retarded and we saw what happened. More people dying needlessly.

I didn't expect to get emotion with Lori dying (I still think she was a psychotic bitch), but it was a pretty strong scene.

Just wondering: in the comics, was the Governor also in a town? I was under the impression he was ruling the prison. Not that it matters much...

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

So Rick has checked out

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

I have officially tuned out those that complain about this show. It has been consistently great every episode this season. The tone is completely different since Darabont left, and you feel anxiety, fear, and desperation with each episode. They're also come to terms with the fact that these characters need to be unlikeable a good part of the time, because you can only be so nice during the apocalypse.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

I'm pleasantly surprised how much better this season is compared to the last two. Really got their act together and has become quite an enjoyable show.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Yeah, season 3 has been very good. No complaints.

Also I am up through compendium 2 of the comics. They are awesome! The show will never live up to that, but oh well. I've gotta get more, though I don't think the next volume is out for a bit.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

I have to admit that I've found little to whine about in the last episodes. :p Sure, some characters are boring (Andrea, why are you still alive?) and it's like every episode needs to have at least 1 "let's get killed in the most original way" moment. But other than that, it's pretty good.

Edit: No Laurie where they left her... so Tim or whatever the kids name is didn't have the guts to shoot his mom after all?

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Aaaaaah, that was well explained.... :rolleyes:

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

There was like a blood trail and guts and a bloated zombie.. did you want him to say.. you ate my wife you bastard!

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

I need to read the letters column more often. Steven Yeun wrote a letter which appeared in issue 102. Spoilers for issue 100...and season two of Friday Night Lights. So read at your own risk:

http://i47.tinypic.com/jl7bra.jpg

Funny dude.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

This season has been awesome, but you have to admit, Season 1 was inconsistent and cheesy, and Season 2 was a piece of shit. The writting was awful, the pacing was off, the soap opera acting was contrite and dumb, and everything sucked.

I pretty much checked out after Season 2, and I'm happy they did a complete 180 with Season 3.

Season 3 is really holding its own, and as I said...I have no real complaints. I have compliments, even! There are moments that are like, "damn."

I was one of the Darabont supporters, so I need to apologize. Apparently he was fucking everything up. It's good that he left. Best decision ever. Now here is to hoping for 3 or 4 more seasons of this! At the rate we are going, things are going to get really dark.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

My only complaint is Andrea. Cannot die soon enough.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Did anything actually happen last episode? I almost felt like fast-forwarding the show. I almost feel like they could have skipped this episode and go straight to the next one.

And if you want to make people believe that 1 zombie ate a whole human... yes, you need better explanation.

Oh and did anyone ever doubt that Sofia's mom was alive? I'm surprised they smeared that out over 3 episodes, what was the use?

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Agreed.
I hate everything about her.
The actress' face. Her voice.

I'm hoping she's only being used to go deeper into the character of the Governor (considering Mishonne now left her, and they're not tied together anymore, and all the info Merle needed from her has been extracted. Her usefulness to the show has been spent), and then he'll kill her in some gruesome way - because shit is getting too non-zombie between them - and their entire shit is just boring.

Maybe it's a pacing thing, though.
I figure if every episode has the knob turned to 11, soon 11 will be the norm for that knob, and there will be nowhere to take the intensity so you just turn that knob down to a 2 every once in a while. So then when you turn the knob back to 11, the crowds all fist-pumping, rocking, and moshing again.

I just really, really hope Andrea's story, and the last episode was the shitty ballad amidst the sea of fists.

I want that cunts head in a fishbowl.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

I hate the way she does that head-roll-cock-eye-half-smile thing. She does it constantly.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

Glen is badass. Great ep. So cool to see Rick and Michonne together. Can't wait for next week. The Governor is probably going to snap completely now that he knows there's nothing left of Penny.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

This mid-season finale stuff is fucking bullshit. I wish I didn't have an addiction to AMC shows. Mad Men...Breaking Bad...this show....

It's okay, karma evens it out.

Anyway, great episode. The Governor keeps upping the creep factor...and who knows what is going to go down. I'm really impressed with this season, which has taken this show from something I watch because I feel obligated to watch it, to something I watch because I'm genuinely excited to watch it. Really good stuff this season.

Glen has come a long way. They changed the story a bit with the Governor raping the hot chick from Chuck...I believe he goes after Michonne in the comics. And Merle is doing a MUCH BETTER JOB this season than Season 1, when he played "bad redneck racist stereotype." The dude has acting chops, and I still struggle to explain Season 1.

SPOILER....sort of:


I'm assuming the "mid season fuck-me-up-the-ass finale" is going to be Rick and co. attacking the Governor's town, and fucking shit up...which will set up the finale where the Governor strikes back.

Who knows what side Andrea will fall on when all is said and done, but she is kind of a ditsy cunt. I still remember the sniper incident. I'm rooting for Glen and the hot chick from Chuck. And of course Rick.

It sucks to be that guy sleeping in the cabin...poor guy can't catch a break. His dog dies, his house gets invaded, and some strangers fuck up his shit. That's a shitty way to go.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

It seems like a ton of shows are doing "mid season finales" now. Next Sunday is also the last episode of Once Upon a Time until January. I can only assume other shows I don't watch are doing it too, since the two shows I do watch are.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

I think it has been common practice. Usually shows take huge breaks this time of year just due to holidays and stuff.

I think the term mid-season finale is relatlvely new though.

Re: The Walking Dead: The Television Series
 

I prefer it to randomly skipping weeks. But I hate how all the shows take their break during the holidays. I partially blame this practice for the increase of suicide around this time of year. Folks are already depressed they have no one to share the holidays with. And now they can't even escape into their favorite shows. TV breaks kill.

Hmm. Ok, apparently it's a myth that the suicide rate increases at this time. I still hate it.
