Television The Walking Dead

please don't ever leave us!

i can tell by the pixels of your avatar and from knowing of such things as photoshop etc.
 
^^ that was a pretty good watch (i love low budget horror). i've never heard of that before. torrent here i come :)

edit: I really enjoyed the 1st season of TWD, can't wait for the 2nd one.
 
a big BUMP for the Season 2 Series Premier this Sunday night! like last year's season premier, I believe that this pilot episode will also be an hour and a half long!!

I still think Stephen King is doing an episode or two...

and I'm pleased to announce that comics creator Robert Kirkman will be writing a good amount of episode scripts for this upcoming season! in case you were wondering, Kirkman's script for the episode called "Vatos" last year was my absolute favorite episode!

I will also update you all, if you do not know, that Frank Darabont has left the helm of this show. at first, I was petrified because I thought this show would lose some of its amazing integrity. however, it seems that Darabont (a director who has never done the TV show format) just couldn't get used to all that goes on with the production of a television show. as I said, at first I was afraid, but it seems like they will not miss a beat and this show will go one spectacularly...

also, although they are adding a regular amount of episodes for a show this season (I believe around 12-14 episodes with a TV break lodged in between), TWD's budget was hacked and slashed a little bit. again, at first I was afraid, I was petrified. thinking how this show could go on without a budget by it's side? BUT I will admit that this show doesn't need as big of a budget as it received in the first season... and why??

1) because instead of being shot mainly in the city of Atlanta, this season will be on the road, in the South-Eastern countryside and at a farmhouse belonging to a legendary character in the book, Hershel... and 2) as long as gore maestro Greg Nicotero is on board, then the zombies will be fine and all will be truly fine. for those who don't know, Nicotero is an artistic genius in the realm of horror/gore make-up. he has done Day of the Dead (1985), Predator, Army of Darkness, From Dusk till Dawn, Serenity, and the Narnia movies (just to name a few). seriously, this guy is on par with original zombie make-up King Tom Savini...

who you might remember for his hilarious cameo appearance in the aforementioned From Dusk till Dawn...

ANYWAYS, I could write forever about this show and to how excited I am! back in 2003 when the Walking Dead got started as a quite new monthly horror comic on the heels of a fledgling Image Comics, I would have never believed then that my beloved little zombie/human drama would have garnered as much world-wide notoriety and appreciation... and that a television series would have been so successful!

kind of hilarious to read in the letters column from issues many, many years ago (my letter was printed in one of these btw!) - to see the creator, Robert Kirkman, always holding interest in starting a TWD show, because he felt like the format would serve his book correctly so, and seeing that said creator opine for any television execs to give him an offer he couldn't refuse!!

I CAN'T WAIT!! 3 MOAR DAYS!!

LOL. i see what you did there (twice). :D

thanks for the heads up, I had no idea this was starting up again.

now I just need a nice American person to point their webcam towards the TV on Sunday night so us UK folks can see it too. ;)

The second season is scheduled to premiere on October 16, 2011 and will feature 13 episodes.[4][5] At a 2011 Paley Center for Media panel,[6] it was announced that the second season will feature Grimes' group of survivors leaving Atlanta for the countryside, including the Greene family farm, a setting in the comic book series.[7] Filming of season 2 began in June 2011 in the greater Atlanta area.

I really loved the first episode (the one Frank Darabont directed), but every one after that just disappointed the hell outta me. I'm gonna try to be optimistic about the new season since Darabont fired the entire writing staff and let Glen Mazzara (the writer of the first episode) pick a whole new writing staff. There's also rumors that Stephen King might write an episode, so that could be good.
 
agreed, the first episode was amazing. really pulled me in. then it went a bit downhill. still good though
 
I wanted to watch this show when it first premiered, but I ended up missing the first episode and never caught on. I got hooked to Breaking Bad, but now that that's over, I downloaded the first season and I've been watching it. I just finished episode 3 about to watch episode 4, and all I can say is I'm in love with this show. I really, really, really enjoyed the first episode. Second was a little boring compared to, but I still loved it. I really like the sheriff and his partner. I'd like to see some more flashbacks into their lives before this all started, I like seeing them in the same scenes together cause they work well with each other.

Okay, here we go...episode four, lets see what you got for me!
 
as a long-time fan of the comics series, let me just say to you all, that the first "season" (if you can truly call it that) was just the tip of the iceberg, here

the first season was only 6 episodes long, and all it really served was an introduction to the series. the plot didn't really go anywhere, it just established that these characters are in a dead world. I do believe this show's original budget was astronomical, and they were cautious as to how many first season episodes they could run. well, the suits are stupid and didn't realize that everyone loves zombies and post-apocalyptic fiction done right

iirc, as soon as the first episode premiered in the fashion to which it did they immediately put the green-light to the second season... and they are giving it its creative due by allowing the show more than ten episodes

the first season was good... but in reality I am expecting HUGE amounts of joy in this second season as a fan

although the TV follows the same basic frame-work of the comic, they do do a fantastic job of going off course just enough to keep it interesting for us long-time fans

I'm glad to see that this show is going to be on the most watched, anticipating shows this year

Gale Ann Hurd (Aliens, Terminator), who also produces this show said herself in the USA Today article this morning that the Season 1 was just a string of consecutive appetizers... Season 2 will be the wonderful main course
 
I hope they give us more flashbacks, I'm interested in seeing what their lives were like before the zombie attack.
 
Yeah, I'm done with this show. All of the characters are bumbling retards and the drama all feels forced and ridiculous. Maybe I just expect too much from a show on AMC (the home of Breaking Bad and Mad Men), but I just can't get past how much I hate the characters/acting/directing/writing.
 
^i agree. i am not at all done with it, as watching it is a social event in my circle. but i am not a huge fan. and this season's premiere was particularly slow and annoying.
