AMC zombie series from Frank 'Majestic' Darabont - The Walking Dead

I do dig that this show doesn't just kill a character, he has a zombie open his abdomen with his hands.

at my job we're doing a big gala fundraiser auction and one of the lots is transportation/accommodation and walk on roles as zombies for two for this show

!!

i think the opening bid is like three grand

;_;

but that $$ would be so worth it.

I was the happiest VG ever when I dressed up as a zombie for halloween, how killer would it be to do it on TV?

plus you'd be the best actor on the show by default

:D

So this is still the second season, not the third?

Yes. They split it up because they don't want to air new episodes over the Christmas/Early January holiday season.

yes and there are something like 5/6 episodes left

i also thought carl was going to kill the kid and was very disappointed when he didn't

if they don't force this kid to lead them back to his 30+ group and instead wring hands for another 40+ minutes i am done with this show

2 eps left.

I do think the kid is going to be a nasty piece of work,

Thought you meant Carl for a second. It'd be kind of great if he turned into little evil Shane.

I really really want a big confrontation with that other camp, but I have absolutely no hope that it is going to happen.

it seems like one or two up-close zombies is about their average budget limit so a big showdown, unless they've been saving up, is likely outside the scope.

I think they must have the budget for a big sequence considering the skimping they've done. Plus if they're not showing down with zombies, it'll be a lot cheaper, right? i.e. no makeup? Unless they really did go through with stretching the budget for the 6-episode first season to work for the 12-episode second.

ok, whut

Why did Shane turn into a zombie?

And did his death somehow call out to that horde of zombies or was that just a coincidence.

would have preferred zombie shane to hold his arms out and say to Rick, "say hello....TO MY CHILDREN!!!" and then have the horde descend

this fkn show guys seriously.

Rick's speech to his son was terrible.

did they finally kack Shane?

MAJOR POTENTIAL SPOILER avert your eyes if needed but:

if when zombies sense people their impulse is to head over and eat them and tear them apart until there's nothing left, where do new zombies come from?

well, this doesn't address your "tear them apart until there's nothing left" but in the comic, one of the major zombie rules that has NOT yet shown up in the show but almost certainly WILL (because some big plot points circle around it) is that if ANYBODY in this new world dies (whether it's from a zombie bite or not), they eventually come back to life as a zombie.

Which is part of what makes the title cutesy: the walking dead doesn't really refer so much to the zombies as it does to those who will ultimately BE zombies in the not-too-distant future, which is to say our protagonists do u c

ok, so that whole thing was actually a reveal from the show and not just whatevers

they killed shane in the comic like by the seventh issue iirc

watching the actress that plays Maggie on the Talking Dead right now and I want her to be around for a while because I think she and Glen are good and she is <3

she's v cute also Britisher irl

why are there *so* many zombies now all of a sudden

see my note above?

she was talking in a british accent so i looked her up and she's born in america but raised in Britain. xposts

re that note forks: that doesn't explain why there are a huge horde of them right there. they didn't massacre a bunch of people recently iirc.

my bad: i'm not actually watching the show anymore so i thought the question was why are there so many still around period.
more proper answer is likely because the guys writing the script didn't care i guess

fat lot of help you are, forks :(

also I am tired of Carl's bullshit
I am a terrible person

is Darryl ever going to want his gun back?

ugh Carl. I hope they Sophia his ass.

please.

He's practically mute for 1.5 seasons & now suddenly it's The Carl Show! Hate him so much

They really should've not done the last two minutes of this episode.

Carl's shot attracted the zombies, right? Why not just Shane's and leave it at that? Such a dumb overreach.

presumably they needed to introduce the zombiefying of the recently dead

That's not going anywhere good.

Ughgrrrr hate that character right now!

I feel like zombiefying of irl dead ppl makes the show actually maybe/hopefully interesting imo. But why did it take them TWO seasons to get to it, is my question

I'm not sure, though this is the first season they've been anywhere long enough to see the aftermath, though it happend so quick with Shane I'm not sure why it didn't with Dale. Either way its a good reveal to hold off on until now, even if it was handed poorly (that one line about zombie cop they killed who didn't have a bite mark...and....this?).

They shot Dale in the head before he died I'm pretty sure.

ooh, of course they did. my bad. I do tend to play Bejeweled when I watch it.

the zombie cop wasn't a cop, that was Randall. Shane broke his neck

lol bejewelled

No, the cop from episodes ago when they were going to originally kill Randall. They made a point of noting that the dead cop had no bite marks, and they assumed it was the scratches that did it. Maybe I'm misremembering/misreading.

And I find myself reaching for Bejewelled whenever there are dialogue scenes and I feel my eyes are going to roll into the back of my head.

emo days of our lives with occasional zombies

Also Lori is either awesome at sticking the knife in with Shane or just totally oblivious. "I dont know whose baby it is" "Sorry that u fell in love with me k thx bye"

carl is SO ANNOYING, his little fucking face.

herchel for me is the comedy gold of this show, all his lines are just so stereotyped and awful, to the point that it's actually hilarious. "me and that couch became very good friends, yep folks, now i have to go until my next appearance in this bad videogame"

you guys are harsh on this show :(

still watch it asap on a streaming site every week

I'd like to see them go the length of the comic, which I haven't read. Just like watching zombie drama. My only real complaint is too many commercials, and yeah hate Carl.
