Walking Dead: Season 2

[Donkbaca]

Before the large?  You are talking about the medium right?  Actually it was the large that convinced Gebeet that John was in existence. that is why he tried to save him, so I don't know if you can fairly say she is a that are during the mediium, but what happens after the large I am talking about the extra large, where Lori shows that she is a that are after getting pissed at John for the extensive that John kept with that guy and his son.  Can you believe that?  What else was he supposed to do? Just let them rot?

[crashwg]

OK.  While I will admit that some of the replies to youngjohn12's postings are indeed quite funny, I think you're most likely breaking rules 1 & 4.  THE RULES  Let's not be the type of forum that is full of A-Holes that scare of the new guys because they can't string together a coherent sentence.

Click one of his links, he's here just plugging a website where you do surveys in exchange to see the walking dead comic online. I wouldn't say the rules exactly apply to spam.

Well it's a promotional offer, and it's annoying, and I've never seen another post from him on this site  (only 2 posts!), so I'm pretty sure it's spam.


OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!

[ChadTower]

It also sounds exactly like something that came through an automated translator.  The guy probably isn't that dumb.  He just doesn't really speak English.

[Bootay]

I have to admit, when I first read his post I was like "Who's John?....did it start back up on Sunday and I forgot?!....coma?!....hmmm" then I started trying to remember a John from the comic and couldn't. Then when I read the replies I was like "Uhhhh...wtf are they....oh wait....they are ---smurfing--- with him...I get it."

Yea, I'm slow in the morning. LOL

Wait, so its okay to post spam messages linking to a fishing site that uses copyrighted material, but its NOT OK to make fun of that post?

Fine have it your way.  Just know that if this ever comes true, Vigo and I are leaving your ass before the large.  Good luck dealing with all that is, hopefully you find someone to be that extensive with for many days like John or you are toast buddy

My bad.  I just thought he was an idiot.  Know I see the light, he's a spamming idiot!

I was kind of bored by the episode, but man, that ending was freaking aweome. Rick is totally badass. You could see where that was going too, and he was defendiing himself, the dude was going to try and pop him first, but Rick was faster.

Lori is a stupid ass too by the way. She is starting to get annyoing...

Have you read the comics? She's a total ---smurfette--- the whole time there.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but she is slighty less annoying in the comics... because she isn't a whore and she dies rather quickly.

Man that was some quick shooting!  I had to go back and check to see the gun! 


I like how Dale is slowly driving Shane (more) insaine by just standing around and glaring at him.  That's totally what I would do!  Just stand there.... and judge..... and make him feel like the garbage that he is until he snaps in front of everybody.


I'm worried about Daryl's character development though.  He went so far in the first half and now he's a big jerk again.  Hopefully it's just temporary.

[lordnacho]

You should add some spoiler tags in there

[Green Giant]

I wouldn't worry to much about it.

He is pissed that he was lied to for so long about the little girl.  Then he gets upset because it feels like noone is to upset about her dieing including her mom.  Then add on the fact that he went above and beyond what anyone did for her, barring Rick perhaps.

Knowing what happened to his brother, he is by far the most stand up guy even if he is upset.

He may have some moral toss ups, but when put under pressure I would trust Daryl's pure instinct to act with a higher moral compass than anyone else on the show. 

Let me try and clarify, if a pack of walkers wonders in, I see Shane just losing it while he kills them, Rick will try to protect his family first even if his actions could have saved someone else before his family (he prioritizes), but Daryl would do everything in his power to save everyone around him.

[Mikezilla]

Ok, this isnt so much as to do with the show, but its mostly comics driven, so dont read what I post if you dont want spoilers for the comics. Its nuts how different the show is vs the comics. Thank you so much for Bootay for giving them to me.

Ok, I have been reading the comics like a madman, Im up to issue 50. The writer is insane. I cant beleive the stuff he is putting in there, and to the characters. What the hell happened with the raid to the prison?! Everyone ---smurfing--- dies? Lori and the baby get blown in half?! Thoughts on that?! Its unbelieveable. I almost ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- my pants when rick got his hand cut off but the raid on the prison?! Im kinda bummed that pretty much everyone died. Im going to read on, but its going to have to wait because I have tomorrow off. Im kind of dejected. I have never been so into a comic before.

@Mikezilla:

I know I was shocked at all that too. And all of the horrible things that happen to children. Children getting their heads chopped off, children getting their faces eaten. It's different. Most of it will never make it into the show. I find it hard to believe that the show will touch upon half of what happens in the comic. I am still waiting for Shane to die, and I am wondering if the show will have carl do it like in the comic. Another thing that shocked me when I read the comic was Dale and Andrea....Ick...seriously? Andrea is ---smurfing--- old ass Dale?! LOL

I think it's very important that Carl is the one to shoot Shane. Carl's transition from a child to a functioning survivor is probably one of the most substantial character developments (though probably also the most natural). Killing Shane is really what jumpstarts that development.

[Bootay]

Interesting. I wonder how this will play out. The actor looks nothing like the character, but I haven't seen him in costume yet.

[Howard_Casto]

I dunno.... the governor read as kind of latino to me, but really all he needs is a dirty, scraggly beard and he's all set. 

I've got to admit though, he does seem kind of scrawny to play him.... don't get me wrong, the governor is supposed to be skinny, but not "weak skinny" more like physically fit skinny.

I can see that.



I'm still wondering who Michonne will be played by. Also how far will AMC go with the... situations involving the governor and Michonne? Maybe they'll just write something completely different. I'm digging how the show isn't a copy & paste from the comic.

Probably offscreen screaming followed by suggestive dialog later. Similar to how Merle cut off his own hand with a hack saw and cauterized it on a stove. It's just as horrible by suggesting the action.

I agree. I like how reading the comic did not spoil anything really. Plus I enjoy wondering how they will handle certain things..if they handle them at all.

I like how last night they mentioned that the two cop zombies didn't have bites. This means they are doing the "you become a zombie when you die whether you are bitten or not" just like the comic.

[garnerb350]

I agree with you the same way, but whats screwy about that is what about all the dead that was all in their vehicles at the beginning of the 2nd season...(Like when Carl reached in the truck to get the Gerber tools/axe/etc)? They should have been reanimated as well...

On a funny side note...the actor playing Rick, I think is awesome... That part at the end of last week (and they recapped it before last night's episode where Lori is explaining to Rick about Shane, and Rick just looks at the camera (like he looking through you)... I was wanting to yell at him..."I didnt do it Rick! I DIDNT DO IT!"....

Well they have corpses in the comic as well.  You've gotta think that whatever re-animates someone isn't going to work on everybody. 


I'm glad they finally had their "villian over the cliff" moment.  That means that they are setup to kill shane at any time. 

What is a "villian over the cliff" moment?

It's a moment in a show that cements why the good guy is a good guy and why a bad guy is a bad guy (we haven't seen the second half yet).  They do it in tv and films to death, so much that it's cliche, but the one that always stuck out in my childhood mind is that very special episode of he-man. 

He-man and Skeletor are fighting... Skeletor starts falling off the edge fo a cliff.  Only holding on with his hands, he begs he-man for help saying that he'll be good.  Of course he-man tries to pull him up, but as soon as skeletor gets his footing he tries throwing he-man off the cliff.  He-man survives, but skeletor gets away in the process.  When he-man rejoins the group  man-of-arms  (or whoever... hey I was 5) turns to he-man and asks:  "Why did you trust him?  Why did you try to save him?  He's evil!  We would have been better off without him."  He-man turns to him and says:  "I never did trust him and things would have been easier if I just let him fall, but if I had let him fall then I would have been no better than he was."  In other words the only way to stay good is to always do the good thing... which isn't always the smart thing or the easiest thing.

Sorry for the long-windedness but This show oozes this theme constantly and I thought it would be a good way to explain my thoughts on the concept.

[Green Giant]

Anyone watch talking dead?

After the show they brought up a great point about shane stabbing zombies and then using the knife to cut a big fat deliciously smelly wound in his hand.

Do people not get infected from the blood?  I mean seriously, there is already enough blood splatter that you would think everyone is sick, now he is pushing z-blood directly into his skin.


PS.
I really hate that bicth Andrea.  Is she supposed to die sometime soon?  I feel like Shane could almost behave enough to stay in the group if he didn't have that little witch whispering in his ear all the damn time.  Don't really like Lori either, feed that anorexic woman.

Well it would square up nicely with the 'everyone is already infected anyway' and some people are just immune (and thus turn into the numerous non-animate corpses) if Shane is immune. Not that we'll find out that specific point for him though, I suppose.

[Mikezilla]

I wish Rick would stop being such a pansy. Shane damn near tried to kill him, and he saw the two cops and got all sentimental. The scene with Rick killing the zombies on top of him was pretty amazing, Im still impressed with the Zombie effects, Greg Nicotero is the man.

Im with you on Andrea being such a ---smurfette---. She is really cool in the comic.

[garnerb350]

I see your point, but that there bums me out, To me as a reader, it brought more fear to me if that was true where whoever became dead becomes Undead...

Louis.... Yeap that was it!..LOL

[Howard_Casto]

I think I want to change my vote.  Shane can live for now.  Can we please kill Carl?

R.I.P. Dale

[Ginsu Victim]

Wow, I didn't see that coming. (Well, until just before it happened....when Dale said he was going, I knew that zombie was going to be there. Didn't think they'd kill Dale off this quick!)

[SNAAKE]

why dale

I liked his random standing around and judging shane without saying anything lol..

[Howard_Casto]

I knew somebody was going to die.  The way they set it up I thought Carl was going to kill the boy in the barn. 


Just like when Otis died, this was poorly filmed/written as well, which pisses me off even more. 


First off, I don't kow anything about Zombie physics or anything but I've got to think that if you had an ENTIRE COW  to eat all to yourself you wouldn't be all to interested in some grizzly old man.  Also why was the zombie not setting there eating the cow?  What did he do?  Go to the trouble of tearing it open eat and single bite and wander off?

Speaking of tearing... I call B.S.  on the whole ripping Dale's chest open with it's bare hands.  Even if you ignore the fact that zombies are rotten corpses and therefore weaker than a normal person, this particular zombie was so weak that it was stopped by a couple of inches of mudd!  You can't rip apart someones stomach without a sharp object anyway.  It's too slick, your hands can't get a grip.  If he had bit into his stomach sure, but not like that.  I think the director had been watching too many Romero movies, which are kind of campy on purpose. 

The character was well-loved and the scene was emotional.... there was no reason to cheapen it with such a lame sight gag.


I officially hate Carl now, not just for killing Dale, but for being a little brat in a world where there's no room for such behavior.  In the comics he is a mature, likeable little boy. (Even if he is a borderline nut job.)  The writers on the show obviously haven't read the comics because this episode gave him nothing but "curious little boy" scenes.  Carl is NOT a little boy..... he's Carl damn it!



Anyway, I'll finish out the season, but I doubt I'll watch the next one. 

In the comics, the books got progressively worse after Dale died.  Considering the show isn't nearly as good as the books, I don't expect much at this point.

I thought the same thing, I thought Carl was going to off the dude. Speaking of that, I think that was a stupid plot point to even rescue that dude in the first place. They have wasted 2 episodes dealing with this guy. What the hell did Rick think he was going to do with him anyway? He saved him, brought him to the farm, wasted medicine and supplies on him, then what?! Kinda dumb.

It kinda sucked about Dale, but he was getting a little annoying at the end anyway. His whole "let him live" speech was a little sappy.

Tell you the truth, I thought Shane was gonna die this episode. I understand on what youre saying Howard about the zombie tearing his guts open, but you have to keep in mind, he is an old man, Im sure that would make it easier to rip through. Not only that, but the zombie has the drive to tear into his stomach, who knows what kind of strength takes to do that. I thought the effect was cool nonetheless. I dont understand how Lori doesnt watch Carl. He went to spy on that randall dude, wandered off encountered the zombie, and almost walked in on Rick killing the dude. Its dumb, he is all over the place. Carol is annoying too. Like I mentioned, the main thing that irriatated me was the whole randall character in general. he isnt pleading his case either, they arent giving him any reason NOT to kill him. He hasnt said that he would denounce his other group, or NOT tell them where they are, or work with them etc.
