Is anyone watching The Walking Dead?  I was never really into zombie movies until a couple years ago, but this show is pretty good so far through two episodes.

Howard_Casto:
Read the comics and you'll realize what a giant step backwards the tv translation is.  Mind you it's a very watchable "pretty good" show and the fact that it has zombies in it instantly makes it more watchable, but they've altered the very dynamic three dimensional (ironically) characters into random, shallow stereotypes.  They also made the zombies "smart" what with the using of tools, picking up things and trying to actively climb ladders and open doors.  The zombies in the book are dumb as rocks... as they should be. 

It has only been two episodes so far and the show isn't horrible but so far altering Grime's wife into a ---stingray--- and introducing a random black stereo-type named "t-dog" into the show isn't a step in the right direction. 


I'm optomiztic that they'll get thier act together as the show goes on, but it still could be a giant train wreck.

A coworker of mine is a total zombie junkie, so we talk zombie talk from time to time.  Many times conversations are about the zombie "rules".  When I saw the zombies using rocks to break glass and climb ladders, that didn't seem to be very zombie correct.

fence climbing was straight up BS :censored:

We're only two episodes in. Give it a chance. Once Rick joins the rest of the group, I'm sure we'll get to a show that feels more like The Walking Dead we know and love.

Me.....I love it.
