What the heck!?!

I don't remember the last 10 seconds of this episode happening in the book.

Last season ended in a place that didn't happen in the book either.

I hope they're rewriting the story, because I like how it's unfolding.

The books got a little silly so I lost interest in them, but the show is getting intense.

This will give me something good to watch while I'm waiting for the next season of Breaking Bad.

I was reading online that they only made 4 episodes this season. What the hell is that about?! The series is gone for a year and we only get 4 episodes?!

I never read the comic but I love the show. Except the mom of the girl was really freaking annoying. How the hell can she blame rick when her own dumbass kid didnt do what he said? Nobody forced him to save her anyway, I didnt see her running after the damn zombies to stop her! I dunno, that was just annoying, I dont like that character. And the part with the zombie in the trailer with the chick trying to assemble the gun? Cmon. The autopsy on that one zombie was awesome, and the end totally blew me away. Not as bad as carl, but you know what I mean.

Speaking of Breaking Bad, I just watched the first 2 episodes of the first season. Holy hell thats a great show. It gives me something to watch inbetween episodes of Dexter. What channel is Breaking Bad originally on? Im watching it on Netflix, and they cuss and everything. Well, the first episode bleeped it out, but the second they were saying full blown curse words.

Have you ever been around a mom when her kid is in danger? They go insane. I'm surprised she didn't try to rip Rick's eyes out. Yeah, rationally Rick saved the girl, but rational thought has nothing to do with the mom at that time.

No, I cant say that I have recently. One time when I was young, my mom flipped out cause she thought my sister was abducted, turned out she was just at a friends house. Of course that doesnt compare to zombies eating her but you know. I get your point but she was still annoying.

Ah gotcha. Hopefully they do that in the show then, like you said, it will make some good TV.

Now that I think about it, one other thing irks me. How the hell did the black guy survive?! That was the most insane laceration I have ever seen, he lost pints of blood, but then in a few scenes afterwards he gets patched up and its as if nothing happened.

I need to get on with watching the new season so I can see what is under all those spoiler blinds.

I've only watched 2 episodes, and already spotted a bunch of things that are different. *shrug* take them as 2 different things

It would be nice if DirecTV would get AMC in hi def. Or at least if they would stop compressing the crap out of the channel. At least the weird yellow tint my 60" Freecycle TV has adds ambience to this show.

Well, chewed through season one on Netflix past week......overall I enjoyed it but several things rubbed me wrong way. Just watched season two opener........and I just wanted to scream "stop leaving the axes and hammers behind you idiots" when they have their guns out and then whine they can't use them due to sound.

The arguement could be said, well they are learning how to deal with the zombie apoc. Meh, I dunno, common sense is that guns run out of ammo......axes don't......KEEP THEM.

You've got to admit though, Daryl is pretty badass in a Rambo silent take down sort of way.

Yeah, Daryl is my favorite character.

They do have it in hi def now. Started a month or so ago.

Dartful Dodger · « **Reply #16 on:** October 20, 2011, 04:42:57 pm »

I thought Daryl was going to end up being the typical racist red neck character that ends up dieing after he tries to save himself and brother at the cost of the group.

Now it looks like they're making him into a survivalist who is ready and willing to die for the group.

Although his one handed brother is still out there (maybe?).

From the conversation Rick was having over the radio it seems less likely that the secret has to do with the wife that he hasn't seen in months being a few weeks pregnant and more about the hopeless situation the world is in.

Mikezilla · « **Reply #17 on:** October 20, 2011, 04:46:19 pm »

I was going to ask that, how long was it since Rick got injured to when he found his family again? Its been over a year since I saw the first season.

Yeah, they flipped Daryls character pretty damn quick if you ask me.

Vigo · « **Reply #18 on:** October 20, 2011, 05:00:51 pm »

I thought it was roughly a month. I am not sure though.

Try 13 episodes. Half now, a hiatus, then the second half in Feb.

Soap opera is a stretch IMO. Character development and romance is kinda in everything

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #24 on:** October 21, 2011, 12:55:50 am »

The second season really seems to be shaping up. Last "season" (if you can call it that, 7 episodes, really???) drug out re-hashing what was in the comics until about halfway when they just threw out the page book. We are on episode in and things are already starting to look like a typical scenario that would be in the comics, which is a GOOD thing.

The herd was a bit disappointing though. I mean really it should have stretched as far as the eye could see.

Daryll is also shaping up. I think I like him most so far. I looks like they are going with the "racist jerk redeemed" route with him and it should be interesting.

Carl doesn't seem as important in this series, but unfortuantely with how that last episode ended, that will probably change.

DCsegaDH · « **Reply #25 on:** October 21, 2011, 03:26:59 am »

I'm a big fan of the first and this season. IMO The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad are the best tv shows on tv. I just started to watch Breaking Bad, that show is freaking awesome.

Thanks Vigo! I was just wondering. Was Shane cheating with Ricks wife before they thought that he died? Cause man, she was awfully quick to jump in the sack with Shane, I mean her husband was only thought to be dead for a month....

Dartful Dodger · « **Reply #28 on:** October 21, 2011, 01:49:14 pm »

The first episode on this season is more like a reboot, but instead of starting over they just started where the last episode ended, with all the characters having different personalities. Or maybe they were all required to take acting lessons, because this season they seem better.

If you'd stop watching reruns from the 80s you'd see that all modern TV shows (even game shows) now have a soap opera format. That's why soap operas are obsolete.

It was not in hi def on my DVR. Well, I suppose it could have been super crappy hi def with four way 25% black bars around it. Somehow I doubt that.

According to the wikipedia article:

"The first season centers on Deputy Rick Grimes, who was shot and ended up in a coma for an indeterminate time."

So I guess they haven't established how long yet. i haven't read the comics (I need to), so I am not sure if things are the same there.

Hm. A friend also told me to get the comic, but the run hasnt finished on it yet. Im kinda sketch about getting it, because I also dont want to know what happens cause Im watching the TV show.

I thought soap operas were obsolete because of "reality" tv shows.

It was the same way for me and breaking bad. I actually had to cancel recording the show, then re-add it on the hd channel. It doesn't automatically switch series recordings over to the HD version. The HD channel replaces the SD one in the guide, but they are technically different channels.

Oh, yeah, that's probably the case. I haven't even been in the channel guide in so long I had forgotten that's how it works. Thanks.

Well damn. Maybe I will have to pick it up then. I also think Ricks wife is oddly attractive, even though she is a filthy whore. Just throwin that out in the universe.

During zombie apocalypses, rules on marriage are out the window. So I wouldn't call her a whore, filthy maybe, cause showers are hard to come by.

Seems reasonable enough that she'd bang a guy she didn't particularly like to ensure he keeps her and her son alive.
