Recently started watching Robocop: The Series. Had no idea there ever was a series and am guessing it wasn't overly successful given there's only the one season. Loads of episodes in that one season, mind. Have watched the first two so far and is good for a giggle. It's TV-friendly so doesn't have the violence of the films. Instead they've upped the comedy aspect - still got the satirical stuff but now with added slapstick. It almost reminds me a bit of the original Batman series actually. Not one for depth and drama but entertaining enough. Kinda like mini B-movies that know they''re B-movies and use that to their advantage.
I don't really get why that would be considered a positive though. It's just plain irritating, I'd imagine. I tend to wait till the whole thing has been shown and acquire it in one go. Can't be arsed waiting ages between episodes cos I just lose track of who's who and what's supposed to be happening and lose interest.

Good news Mendo. I shall have to re enalrage my TV package once again when it returns to Fox. It is by far my favourite current TV series. I cant explain why I love it so much. I hope they dont continue the 'prettification' of Darryl, he's meant to be badass, not all pretty boy, with his new moussed cute and floppy angled trendy fringe hair style, rather than greasy biker look. The make up artitsts got carried away there i think. They shouldnt loose his identity in trying to make the point that he's a good and kind man underneath the rough and tough exterior.

Watching beloved characters, especially those who look like universal childhood icon Santa Claus, get their heads hacked off by a psychopathic one-eyed egotist isn’t anyone’s idea of funny, right? Unless you’re a psychopathic egotist, it’s hard to find much humor in a situation like that.
In fact, ‘The Walking Dead’ may be the gloomiest show on TV right now. No one ever cracks a smile. No one ever laughs. And little everyday things — like, say, hygiene and sex — fall by the wayside for the most part. That stuff happens when there’s a zombie apocalypse happening all around you.
It doesn’t help that the minute you finally warm to a character on the show, BAM!, they kill him or her off. So yeah, it’s safe to say very few people are laughing their asses off when they’re watching ‘The Walking Dead.’
But Conan O’Brien lightened the mood a little last night with his spot-on parody of the hit TV show (which returns on AMC Sunday night). In the two-and-a-half-minute clip, O’Brien, turned into one of the walking dead, wanders the woods in search of whatever all those zombies on ‘The Walking Dead’ are wandering in the woods in search of.
With help from his GPS, O’Brien stumbles into a cabin occupied by sidekick Andy Richter, who’s obliviously lost in a pair of headphones. You can see what happens next in the above video.
Cast members from ‘The Walking Dead’ — including Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus and Lauren Cohan — later showed up to talk about the program’s return. And they all seemed to have a way better time than they do on their full-time gig. Then again, there’s not much to smile about when some dude whose skin is peeling off is trying to eat your spleen, is there?

i think despite that despite all the perceived the gloom and doom the togetherness and the 'we're all in this together, safety in numbers' etc vibe counteracts it all. I never find myself feeling gloomy or depressed after an eposode, im allways either thrilled, exhilerated, delighted, or in tears. The band of survivors keep on surving (mostly). They are winners who rise above all setbacks no matter how daunting them seem through their courage and their inteligence, they are inspirational figures, one and all. It just hits all my buttons bang on the nail, what else can i say. Do they want somone to write their promotional material for them ? I'm free.

Tremendously successful zombie drama ‘The Walking Dead‘ will return to AMC this Sunday (Feb. 9) with a new batch of blood-soaked episodes. We couldn’t be more pumped to immerse ourselves into the second half of Season 4, but what if the show started back from the beginning with a cast entirely made up of your favorite rock and metal musicians?
If you’re not caught up on every episode of ‘The Walking Dead,’ no worries. We’ve kept this post almost entirely spoiler-free. However, if you don’t want a few little details spoiled, think twice before reading the text portion of this post.
Disregarding whether or not a character from the show is currently alive, dead or AWOL, we’ve selected the series’ essential roles and stuck a musician in their shoes. On that note, please enjoy our vision of ‘The Walking Dead’ recast by some of rock and metal’s greatest talents!

The ‘Walking Dead’ crew needs a leader, so why not recruit the frontman of two massively popular bands? If you’ve listened to Slipknot‘s music, namely ‘Disasterpiece,’ you know that Corey Taylor is familiar with the concept of killing people. What better excuse to lop off some heads than a zombie apocalypse? Taylor would be a great selection to play Sheriff Rick Grimes, and if Andrew Lincoln can turn his British accent into a Georgian one, it’s even less of a stretch for Corey Taylor to make the trip from Iowa to the South.
The character of Daryl Dixon is a troubled, antisocial rebel, and Norman Reedus’ portrayal of Daryl has led to the birth of television’s greatest zombie-killing ass kicker. Somewhat disheveled with a five-o-clock shadow and wispy hair, former Stone Temple Pilots / Velvet Revolver singer Scott Weiland already looks the part. However, before tackling the role, Weiland must begin his character development by taking archery classes and crafting shelter in the woods while strictly living off roadkill.
Although timid and soft spoken, the character of Glenn Rhee can become a dangerous man if provoked. These sensibilities fit Dir en Grey‘s music perfectly, so why not cast vocalist Kyo for the part? Kyo already looks like he could mow down a hoard of walkers, plus using the power of his voice, Kyo can hit notes so violently high that he could cause zombie heads to immediately explode.
She was just a good ol’ farm girl with the purest of hearts until zombies began to overrun her home. Now she wields assault rifles to fight off biters and other intruders. The transition of Maggie Green lines up with that of Halestorm‘s Lzzy Hale, who morphs into the persona of Mz. Hyde when it comes time to conduct business. Hale famously sings, “Love bites, but so do I,” so worst case scenario, she’d transform into a very accomplished walker.
Bring Me the Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes may need a few extra hours in the makeup chair to hide those tattoos if he wants to play the young Carl Grimes, but it couldn’t be any more difficult than transforming normal human beings into half-dead, slobbering freaks. The fresh-faced Sykes is 27 years old, but with a little CGI and television magic, we think Sykes could pass for a 14-year-old in ‘The Walking Dead.’
This was an easy choice. The samurai sword-wielding Michonne is the deadliest woman on the planet, so we need one of metal’s most imposing women to fit the role. Alexis Brown of Straight Line Stitch can blast out some deep gutturals and high shrieks while looking like a warrior in the process. Brown even rocked some dreadlocks of her own in the past, so give her a sword and point her towards the undead.
The character of Hershel Greene is a veterinarian and devoted Christian, so it’s only fate that a member of Lamb of God play Hershel in our recasting of ‘The Walking Dead.’ White-haired Lamb of God bassist John Campbell is the obvious choice when casting for Hershel, and since Campbell is a vegetarian, any animal on Hershel’s farm only needs to worry about one type of carnivorous creature.
Oh boy, it’s time to cast The Governor. We were introduced to The Gov in Season 3 of ‘The Walking Dead,’ and he quickly became a fan favorite along with one of the most psychotic characters in recent TV history. Dark, disturbed and menacing, we’ve chosen Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor to play the role. The Governor may have a grim collection of zombie heads, but that’s child’s play compared to Nine Inch Nails’ video for ‘Happiness in Slavery.’
Portrayed by Melissa McBride in ‘The Walking Dead,’ Carol Peletier has proven to be one of the most fascinating characters throughout the show’s four seasons. We need a strong woman to play Carol, so we’re drafting rock icon Joan Jett. The female pioneer has rocked the short-haired look in the past, striking a resemblance to Carol. Plus, if Joan Jett just happens to stumble upon a guitar during a zombie raid, we’d be gifted with some amazing head-smashing scenes.
Anthrax bassist Frank Bello is one of the nicest guys in metal, but if you’ve seen Anthrax live, you know a true thrash machine holds down the low-end for the band. Bello will have to unleash his violent side if he wants to play sheriff’s deputy Shane Walsh. “I Am the Law!” The bassist would start off as Corey Taylor’s right-hand man, but as the series continues, we think Bello could transform into someone dangerous to both walkers and the fully living.
She looks sweet on the outside, and she certainly is, but Andrea is a masterful ass-kicker in ‘The Walking Dead.’ Is there a female vocalist who balances those two characteristics better than Arch Enemy‘s Angela Gossow? Nope! Metalheads absolutely love Gossow, a pioneer of women in death metal. What we wouldn’t give to see Angela blast away some zombie heads…
The beautiful wife of Rick and desire of Shane needs to be graceful, yet passively deadly. For this role, we’re recruiting Within Temptation vocalist Sharon den Adel. The voice of Sharon den Adel could lure in any man (or walker), but there’s a sense of quiet danger to the singer, much like Lori Grimes. The character of Lori is somewhat of a black widow to certain men in ‘The Walking Dead,’ and we’re sure den Adel could tap into that sensibility perfectly.
Here’s an essential piece of casting. Perhaps the most dangerous character to ever side with the “good guys,” Merle Dixon was even able to capture the seemingly indestructible Michonne at one point. The back-woods older brother of Daryl is constantly, shall we say, f—ing hostile, so we’re throwing Philip Anselmo into Merle’s shoes (and arm bayonet) for this recasting of ‘The Walking Dead.’ We’re sure Anselmo could harness his boxing abilities and confrontational disposition to emulate Michael Rooker’s portrayal of Merle while leaving piles of dead meat behind him in the process.

Just went through House of Cards binge. I think Netflix have set the bar high with this series. Having the likes of Kevin Spacey and David Fincher involved really shows the quality of production. Series 2 starting next week I think

If you think The Walking Dead TV series is grim and fucks with your favourite characters in brutal ways you should read the comics. Much, much darker at points.

The Walking Dead game on PS3 is pretty dark too. And awesome
