Walking Dead: Season 2

ChadTower:

Be careful, too, very careful about believing what is listed on the website.  I've seen some things clearly detailed on the websites that were nothing like that when you show up.  The Spartan Kids' race is a good example.  The website listed it as a half mile, on part of the adult course, and the price was $18.  My ten year old actually trained for it.  It turned out to be about 200 yards, in the parking lot, with some tires and crappy obstacles.  And they wanted $20.  I had to pay since my son had his heart set on it but it took him 40 seconds.  Even more annoying was they let any kid run so those who had paid ahead of time felt even more ripped off.

By far the best source of info on these races is Youtube.  There is a subculture of folks who wear cameras during the race and post the vids to youtube or even have websites discussing the races.  Those videos show you exactly what any given race is about with the caveat that they vary by location but the general quality should be the same for the same race.  When they had the first Zombie Race there were full length race videos up on Youtube two days later to show us all what the race is really like.

If you camp out (which you or I probably wouldn't do) there's no outside food allowed either!  Buy their stuff or sneak it in.

I don't think the zombie thing is a fad and even if it were I don't see the walking dead as being related to that fad.  We had a steady diet of zombie movies and comics up until the mid 90's and then it went away for a few years, but now it's back.  Video Games are what seem to be fueling their popularity atm so unless capcom goes out of business I think we are good for a while.  That being said, the walking dead is a tv show... the first and only zombie tv show.  That alone will keep it afloat long enough... just look at supernatural.  At the time it was the only "x-files like" tv show on the air at the time and it's on season 6 or something.  That show isn't exactly shakesphere either. 

And then again AMC has only recently went into the tv series business and they aren't exactly known for long series runs.  They don't seem to be the type of channel to milk a show past it's prime just to make money.  I'm guessing two more seasons.

I figure the show won't last a lot longer than season 3 if there even is one.  I'll have plenty of time to read the comics then.

Getting back on topic, how awesome is Darrel?  When I saw the "scenes for next week" last week  I thought to myself "Man some Rambo ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- is going down next week"  and boy was I right!  Pulls the arrow out THE WRONG WAY and still manages to shoot the zombie.  That's a man right there.

How do you figure he pulled it out THE WRONG WAY??   He pulled the fletchings thru his side, you think he should have pulled the arrowhead backwards thru his side?   The way he did it was the only way to pull it out without ripping himself apart AND still be able to use the arrow.  If the arrow is almost thru or all the way thru, he did it the right way.
