Because the thread would probably get all feudal?

It says very close to the source material, so Howard can't  :hissy: to much.

I've been reading behind the show, but I stupidly read a website and jumped past spoiler alerts.  Caught a major death, so pissed.  So I jumped to Book 3.

I mean, seriously, who would have guessed a malnourished pregnant woman could be so osteoporotic that her bones were easily consumed by a zombie in a fictitious post apocalyptic pop culture television show?

Enjoy it for what it is, man.  It's just a TV show.  It is not high literature.

That's the whole point..... it COULD be high literature, if they'd hire decent writers.  Tv is a superior medium to books, so it would be nice if they actually put superior shows on it. I mean the books are better written, and they are comic books, with maybe 5 minutes of dialogue per issue.   

I do enjoy the show btw because sadly, it's still one of the most original shows on tv.... hbo and showtime series are superior though.  Boardwalk Empire, despite it's sometimes cheezy gangster vibe, might be the best show on tv.   

lordnacho1:  Nope... the prison is different in the comics..... The prison is mostly abandonded save the guys locked in the kitchen.  This makes more sense because you have to remember that it takes months for the zombies to overwhealm the city.  During that time there would have been a prison transfer, like in any real-world disaster.  On the show basically the entire prison population, including guards are zombified while still locked inside the facility.   

This is THE major problem with the show btw.... they follow 75% of the memorable plot points of the comics, so there's no sense of mystery or suspense to those who have read them, and the 25% they do change is vastly inferior and less logical than the comic version. 



GOT did have a thread btw.... we don't talk about the shows in the off-season.
