Television The Walking Dead

yeah! I always like to make up my own mind, you know use the old imagination, as to why things are the way they are. I love melancholic, nihilistic intensity in my fiction, and perhaps that is why I am so drawn to TWD. I hope the scientist is about to explain everything, and then BOOM! some good ole US soldiers shoot him and lots of other people down, in fear of them being infected
 
I too found the last episode to be weak, at least compared to the episode the week previous. It will be interesting to see where they take it for the season finale.
 
^ I liked the episode, until that CDC scientist was introduced. his video journals just seemed a bit too Sci-Fi Channel for my tastes (not knocking Sci-Fi channel, just don't think it should be related to TWD)

what I did like was seeing our survivors deal with death. I was happy to see the turning of the Jim character dealt gracefully, as well as how they buried their own, yet burned the zombie bodies

despite the luke-warm conclusion with the CDC, I will admit I am exciting for the season finale. there must be hundreds of different ways to end this season interestingly

He is so bad ass.
Hope he gets another sweet ride though...
 
This is my new wallpaper. It's not from The Walking Dead, but Dead Rising. Still, it reminds me of The Walking Dead:

Don't worry so much. This show is in good hands. If the creator of the comic books doesn't want it to be known how the outbreak took place, then it will not be known. You do not bite the hand that feeds you.
 
I've been loving this show. I have always loved this genre and the fact that Frank Darabont is involved is awesome.

There have been issues with the writing in a few of the episodes, but besides that I'm hooked.
 
Seriously. Dale is my favorite character. The actor who portrays him is great. I remember him as one of the guards in The Green Mile and I know I've seen him in plenty of other movies. Losing him at this point would be like losing my grandfather. He is definitely the stand-out in this show. Great acting.

He was in The Mist, too. Along with several other actors on this show. Thomas Jane would have made a great Rick. I read that he was up for the role and opted to do Hung once HBO passed on The Walking Dead.
 
^lol

Thought the season finale was great, I had always wondered what ever happened to that grenade Rick picked up early on. I also like that Rick and Shane haven't had a confrontation yet over the fact that Shane was boinking his wife while he was in a coma. It's building up a shit ton of tension and suspense and I love it :D

I hate that we have to wait so long for the next season to start. ugh :(

Really? lol

I wouldn't be surprised if HBO ends up regretting that decision (if they don't already) in the future. I wonder what line of reason is responsible for the irreconcilable shortcomings HBO saw in Walking. Seems silly to me-- the story almost has intrinsic appeal to zombie and non-zomzbie fans alike; it really speaks for itself. On the other hand, I can respect HBO's reluctance if they lacked the funding that this series deserved.

No matter what excuse they fall back on, it better have been damn good. IMO, unless the show was poorly executed and underfunded, it would be difficult to muck up--there is plenty of room for error. Regardless, for HBO to decline involvement in a series fueled by the most primal qualities of human nature during a zombie-takeover seems off-pudding. This seems right up their alley. Not only are the artistic and philosophical implications alone a worthy point of discussion, but this multi-faceted series has so much potential.

I'm trying to come up with rock-solid excuses HBO could have used but I keep coming up short. Lol here is one idea: the HBO employees given the task of selecting scripts were hesitant to adopt a storyline without a better understanding of their viewers appreciation for and reception of zombie tv series (what does this say about the difficulties which surround new tv show concepts?).

Walking also exhibits motifs present in HBO's hit-series True Blood, one of which is defined by the animation of lifeless human bodies. It would appear as though HBO was unable or unwilling to overcome/see past the uninformed decisions they made surrounding this project. I don't care what you say or how you say it: vampires are not--and never will be--a valid replacement/alternative for beloved zombie-action.

If this was actually the case I'd lose a lot of respect for HBO. I think that if HBO seriously listened to their audience, they'd realize that they are more open to change (although willing to retain old viewing habits) than they are given credit for. The unique qualities offered by the plethora of HBO productions are renowned for their, noteworthy depictions of drama, suspense, comedy, production quality, etc.. that too many are subjectively worthwhile.

Lol why did I just say all this bullshit: I'm distraught because the real tragedy of HBO's decision will never be fully realized; we can only imagine the impact of HBO's budget on Walking. No doubt there would be a more experienced cast, eye candy, attention to detail, etc... 8o

In the end, the general public has long awaited a marriage of zombies and good tv production for too long. HBO couldn't do it, so AMC did. My hats off to them.

tldr:fuck hbo...you make no sense

season finale was absolutely a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

just when you think nothing's lef tyou push harder then you could have ever imagined.
 
When they first began shooting the series AMC wasn't sure if the show would be renewed so they played it safe and didn't spend too much. Can't blame them for that.

The upcoming seasons will have more episodes than the first. I hope the increased episode count doesn't negatively effect the quality of the show.
 
Loved the Season can't wait until next Season.

I knew that Grenade was going to show up later, it would be horrible writing if they just left it out.

In the meantime I'll just wait for Breaking Bad. Way to go AMC.
 
one thing that bothered me in the finale

NSFW:
If the scientist knew the building was going to self destruct the next day, why was he concerned with testing everyones blood. Also, he should've opened the doors and let as many zombies in as possible before it blew.
 
WTF did the scientist say to Rick?!

Was it something more about a cure?
Something about the origin of the outbreak?
Someone in the group is infected (my bet)?

Jesus. I've been thinking about it for two days.

I love how these characters have true depth. Most of the major characters are multi-faceted. Shane, for instance, truly shines here. We're meant to think he's a slimeball for sleeping with his dead partner's wife. Then, we think he's a hero for a split second when he pulls an abusive man away from his battered wife...until he ruthlessly pummels the man on the ground. Now, we see what lengths he went to, to try and save his partner in the hospital. He honestly believed the man was dead. He risked his life being ended by both the military and killer zombies.

And yes, Dale is awesome.
 
^Shane lost his family trying to save others during the outbreak. He has the right to be an asshole for a little bit.
