The Walking Dead (Official Thread)

I really thought Herschel was gonna pull the trigger on the kid.
But that would have been too easy of a story line.
Better to bring him to the farm and create another tough moral decision because that's the whole basis of the show.
Moral decay when authority is gone.

now, when they were fighting about whether or not to save this kid and the walkers were coming, hershel should have just capped him and said, the decision's been made.

"Kyle, go hold off that horde of zombies coming so we can save this dude that was trying to kill us ten seconds ago!"...." Go fuck yourself!11!!"

 

[BUCKYLE]

One other thing...fucking raid a Dick's Sporting Goods already and get some compound bows and teach that shit, would ya. Either that or mount a fucking .50cal to the top of the RV. If you're going to kill zombies, either do it quietly or kill them all.

Just got to watch the last episode on the DVR last night. This was more of what I was expecting with this series. Hope they can keep it up.

So, when do Shane and the blonde take off on their own since nobody likes either one now?

 

[buckeyegrad]

Mad Men has more action. :(

And How!

Great episode. My favorite part was the dude getting his face eaten off...intense. And also interesting to see Lori react...first time she has had to kill any zombies. Shane/Rick showdown coming this next episode.

If TWD's writers really wanted to make me happy (which they obviously don't, as they've proven for months and months now) it would turn out the zombie-making virus is airborne, can be dormant in a living person's bloodstream, and infects any newly dead body.

Then, it would turn out that Lori's imbecillically unnecessary car crash has killed her unborn child. Then the unborn child would become a zombie. It would slowly and painfully (but not nearly as painfully as being subjected to seeing Lori every Sunday night) slooo-ooo-owly claw and gum its way out of her womb. A big plus for the story arc of the show would be that Lori could be bedridden for much of the remainder of this season. (We can't have enough characters bedridden to amp up the dramatic tension.) For the season climax, they could steal from a movie that really was scary & have the baby pop out through Lori's abdomen--Alien-style--and scuttle off into a corner. Then Rick & Shane (and Dale, and Andrea, and Maggie, and Herschel) could argue for fifteen or twenty minutes about the ethical repercussions of shooting the zombie baby. Then they could decide to put it in bed. In the barn. And it would go missing.
And all next season they could look for it.

My moment of clarity came last night when zombies were pouring through that shattered window like Walmart shoppers on Black Friday morning. And I realized a zombie shortage wasn't at the core of my problem with this show. I realized I hate everybody on this show (expect maybe Daryl). I especially hate their writers and story editors and whoever is responsible for monitoring little logical consistencies like whether it is night or day during a particular sequence of events.

Then why am I still watching, you ask? Probably for the same reason cars on the freeway slow down when there's a wreck in the opposite lane.

Well said, you deserve some rep. I think I could write a thesis on how the writers/actors have completely fucked this show.

After what I thought was a good epsiode last week, there is no way to describe the rampaging pile of suckbubble that this episode was. With just 2 or 3 left in the season (3 I guess), I really don't know how they are going to be able to leave it where people are going to want to tune in again next year. I really don't see it, unless they have some amazing thing that hasn't even been forshadowed yet.

Well, at least one bit of truly bone-chilling horror has emerged from AMC.

Ran across this yesterday:

AMC announced today from the Television Critics Association (TCA) Press Tour in Pasadena, CA that the third season of The Walking Dead will consist of 16 episodes

Excuse me. I'm going to go into the bathroom now and I'm taking that missing steak knife from my dinner tray with me.
Lori & Maggie, if you don't like it, go talk to Kyle...he has a message for you.

Deat AMC

Just fucking follow the damned storyline of the comic.

Interesting question raised on The Talking Dead show--since Shane stabbed a zombie with his knife, then later cut his hand with the same knife again--does that mean he's infected?

Of course, this presupposes there is anyone awake at the wheel of TWD who's paying attention to little things like continuity and logical consistency, so, never mind, I'm sure Shane's fine and will survive for many, many more episodes making adorable monkey faces for our amusement.

First you would have to ask yourself, do zombies have blood to infect with, and if so why? they're dead aren't they?

Sure looks like the have blood whenever they get their heads stomped in or blown up by a shotgun shell, Best. This season has been better than last, but it is still an epically bad series. My wife loves it.

Or why months of zombie physical activity and movement does not seem to require the expenditure of any zombie calories. Zombies are free from the curse of metabolism.
