WTF happened to the Walking Dead

[Killswitch]

I think the Zombies ate the writers or something. This show sucks anymore.

More than a half hour in and they haven't even shown one fucking zombie.

 

[Morcheeba]

Killy, you said the zombies were boring in KRC's thread last week.

Maybe they walked off because of that spurn.

 

[Killswitch]

Boring old zombies.

 

[Morcheeba]

Also, I thought the first episode was awful. Couldn't stop watching it but it was simply fucky. But many of you in here overreacted about the amount of commercials. They didn't really come into play until late in the 3rd act.

DVR is taping stuff so can't even watch the series until 10. Sucks.

Walking Dead was pretty limp on the season premier...hope it's not the way things go. Would suck.

Fucking DVR is love/hate at times.

 

[Killswitch]

Ugh.....what a crap episode.

Hopefully the new storm chasers will redeem my faith in tv.

 

[KRCummings]

I dunno, I thought it was a decent set-up episode. On it's own it wasn't much but it helps to get things going down the road. I think anyway. I am slightly afraid they're gonna either kill those two guys that are trapped or they'll get away with some total bullshit thing that comes out of the blue. I figure they'll get away. At least Shane will. Not sure about fatty.

I'm all for girl-power but wondered if the 90-minute premiere was written by a woman or a team of women. Too much drama and the men were way too understanding to let others have such longass emotional talks and time to stop and pray in that church when they were losing sunlight.

Plus it didn't make sense how they had that longass line of vehicles to rummage through for weapons, clothes, etc....

Also, could they crank the sound of locusts even louder? We got it already. There are BUGS making LOTSA NOISE out there. Fucking TD for the Saints again.

The traffic jam makes perfect sense and is a common theme in apocalyptic stories. The Stand, 28 Days Later, The Road, a few others. It makes sense that during a crisis people would attempt to flee and cause a jam. In the case of zombies it would further makes sense that the jam would become a buffet.

Have to agree with the bit about the Church.. seemed to me a moment strapped to explore religous ennui..which was completely irrelevant at the time

as for the car's.. that actually makes complete sense... the world turns to shit and people run for the hills.. but this is America and everyone has to drive..traffic jam occurs, zombies arrive ( hell, probably infected people in the cars already), cars are bumper to bumper, doors jammed near each other ...aka.. zombie buffet

 

[badbabysitter]

jinx.....

I haven't watched any of the second season yet, but they're on my DVR. I can say that the books have a lot of "slow" periods, to let everybody catch their breaths. They're usually followed by a serious fucking from the zombies... so maybe they're building toward that.

Most zombie movies have the same thing. The greatest of them all, Dawn of the Dead is actually pretty slow for an extended period and then all Hell breaks loose.
Ya gotta figure real life would be that way. Fight some zombies, hide and slow down, fight some more zombies, hide and slow down, repeat.

 

[Killswitch]

I noticed the zombies chasing the guy and "fatty" lol, were movin pretty fast for zombies. heh.

Is it just me or are peoples eyes turning black as they go along?

And whats with Lori. She looks anorexic this season. ugh.

 

[Morcheeba]

You two with your Zombie Buffet talk. I get it.

Then why not scramble really fast in search of such goodies? They need a leader to tell them they have 5 minutes to fetch for what they can and get right the fuck back so they can move on.

And they need to dump that POS motor home and go more mobile.

Initially that was the plan but then the rv broke down.
All of this is explained.

Now there's something I have a problem with. You have your pick of new vehicles. Get a good one.

I noticed they were moving fast. It's counter to what they've been like so far. I hope they aren't changing that. Not only is it wrong but it's too obvious a change.

Yep. I'll give it to the writer, he does a good job of making the humans far more dangerous than the zombies. If the series lasts long enough *crosses fingers*
there will be some crazy shit going on, and the zombies will be the least of their worries.

 

[Morcheeba]

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought the radiator hose was a problem but that old Owlish dude with the binoculars faked it.

I think it's that old geezers deal. He seems to be the defacto roger miller, and that blonde chick anted to kill him when he even asked if she was ok after the attack.


she gave him the serious stink eye.


lol

That's always the case with zombie stories. There's an evil biker gang or military group or dictator/preacher/warlord/whatever.
Hell, not just zombie stories either. Most end of the world stories have some element like that.

And whats your thoughts on flight of the living dead.

heh

Walking Dead is the only thing I watch on AMC other than the occasional movie. I have avoided Flight because it doesn't look bad enough to be good. It just looks bad. It's on about 20 more times before Halloween though so I might watch it if I get bored.
