Next October?!

They better not pull a Lost w/ this show.

I'm guessing that has to be a big twist for next week. I'm also wondering when their going to bring back that father and son from week one. Also if you remember from week 1 that the black guy said the zombieism has a 48/hr incubation period until taking affect. That has to be regardless if you're dead or alive. Considering the zombie that was crawling ripped in half in episode 1. That likely happened being attacked while still alive. Then eventually turned into a zombie. Same will happen to the sister.

As for next October, yep. Sucks. The explanation was something like they have another new show releasing winter/early spring, another show taking whichever slot not taken and mad men in the summer. Leaving Walking Dead with the fall. Which apparently to them makes sense to link it to "fright week"/Halloween week to maximize it's presence again. So AMC is going to have 4 epic shows going to have at least one headliner running year round. They were also concerned with properly marketing every show since they'll have the most original series' they've ever had.

Did not like the finale... at all.

just4kickz · 12-06-2010, 12:13 AM

i wouldn't call it amazing... but i like the content.

c0nstant · 12-06-2010, 02:01 AM

just finished the season finale, meh. could have been better. i wish they gave some preview for next season. oh well, can't wait

Schm · 12-06-2010, 04:16 AM

Could have been better. I wanted more zombie killing, less talking/random explosions.

Also, that Doc could have lasted longer. I wonder how frequently characters are going to get killed off?

bosstones · 12-06-2010, 12:20 PM

I agree it was kinda meh, but it was more character oriented IMO. Note Shane's behavior, Rick's fortitude, and Dale's reaching out to his daughter.

I broke down and picked up conpendium #1 from Borders the other day (I had a 30% off coupon lol and was there to pick up another book anyways). This should satiate me.

edit: lots of differences between the show and the graphic novel/comic.

This show turned out almost completely not what I hoped it would be. Premiere was so misleading. Finale sucked. Do not care about season 2 at all.

NYCGarbagePrince · 12-06-2010, 02:29 PM

I picked up 2 shows this year. Walking Dead and The League. I think I like the league more. I really really enjoyed the first few episodes of walking dead, but the finale was just awful. The minute you start making major objects explode, you are forced to use budget CG and it ruins the whole thing. I hate seeing budget CG.

ZJP · 10-16-2011, 07:33 PM

Season 2 premiere tonight, 90 minutes long.

Who's watching?

c_jeong89 · 10-16-2011, 07:51 PM

I really enjoyed the first 2 episodes of season 1. Thought it was really good. Then I felt like it just went downhill after that. But hey I'll give it another chance and prob watch season 2 premiere tonight.

mact3333 · 10-16-2011, 07:59 PM

Think I will give this series a try.

You guys should check out Spartacus:Sands of Time and Gods of the Arena....its on Netflix and on demand for Starz...if you like sex and violence, you will love this show...kinda addicting this show...decadent.

c0nstant · 10-16-2011, 08:01 PM

i cannot wait for tonight, fuck

number335 · 10-16-2011, 08:02 PM

Watched the entire season 1 a week ago on Netflix. I like the surviving the end of the world aspect of the story more than the zombies aspect. What I don't understand about zombie movies/shows is why people don't just wear body armor so they don't get bitten.

FlashBimmer9er · 10-16-2011, 08:08 PM

Wheere can I watch the new series online? Anyone know?? My school doesn't have AMC on cable so I'm up shit's creek there... Need to find it online. LOVED the 1st season

ZJP · 10-16-2011, 11:38 PM

Thought tonight's episode was pretty damn good, lots of intense zombie killing action. This season should be epic from the looks of things.

Nedim · 10-17-2011, 12:21 AM

This is my new favorite show. the first episode was pretty good. this season looks crazy

michaelthepsycho · 10-17-2011, 03:15 AM

jpsum · 10-17-2011, 09:27 AM

They are not zombies. The show never once mentioned the word zombies.

mact3333 · 10-17-2011, 12:14 PM

here is the thing I found odd, these zombies are so frikkin slow how are they a threat to you?...come on, chicks are stabbing them with a screwdriver in the face...if the zombies could run, I think they would be a valid threat...
