The Walking Dead

I think they should have kept their zombie guy (the guy left at the tree).

I'm 3 episodes into it.

Have none of these people heard of silencers?

ACK!

AMC rules.

We just heard last week that AMC was close to holding up its perfect pilot-to-series ratio for its original programming as the network inched closer to picking up The Killing for a full series order. Well today AMC announced via press release that they have officially picked up The Killing as a new original series slated to premiere sometime in 2011. An adaptation of the Danish TV series Forbrydelsen, the story centers on the murder of a young girl and the subsequent police investigation through the perspective of the detectives, the grieving family, and the suspects.

Season 2 is in the books.

[Wezil]

That was fun.

[Guynemer]

It is following the book in broad strokes, but the details are definitely different.

[Wezil]

I know nothing of the books so it is all fresh to me.

The ending with Andrea was most cool. Interesting pets.

[OzzyKP]

Heh, I meant "in the books" as in it is finished, didn't mean to actually reference the comics.

But yea, the hooded lady with the sword looks to be pretty damn bad ass.

With more time to prepare the laps around the farm could have been much more fun. Cow catchers on the front of the vehicles and knife/blade assemblies on the wheels (think Spartacus) could have prolonged that tactic.

A very good finish to a very slow(first half) season.

ACK!

Yea, people aren't all that smart when it comes to killing zombies, or protecting themselves. They should have been building walls and moats and such all along. I guess we'll see a better defended compound next season with the prison, but a wide open farm is just asking for trouble.

While acknowledging the "its just a show" rule, I never understand the threat of zombies. Considering how we've had all of human history to perfect the craft of killing people (if there is one thing humanity knows how to do well, it is killing) you'd think a bunch of mindless, unarmed people would pose no threat to an organized response.

I like the slow parts. That is the one advantage to doing shows like this in TV form as opposed to movie form. In movies they just pack it full of big action sequences, you don't get much of a chance to see how people are impacted by it all, and the day to day realities of life in such a crazy world. If anything I think it is kind of lame that they have to throw in (in a sometimes forced way) several zombie encounters in each episode just to keep the attention of folks like you.

I didn't mention zombies, did I? They spent way too much time on finding the girl and the son, who made a miraculous recovery by the way, and not enough developing the main story.

Which is why it was slow.

I didn't say it sucked, I said it was slow, which it was.

Besides, the name of the show is The Walking Dead, not the Talking Dead.

ACK!

[OzzyKP]

Talking dead comes on after.

But yea, I agree they spent too much time on finding the girl.
