i don't really know why but i don't really have any desire to see it. I haven't really seen any of the previews.

eeriepadave

so how was it?

pjradio

I thought it was ok. Was kind of a slow start, but picked up toward the end. I'll stick with it, for sure.

I enjoyed it, have to figure it will be slow as the real outbreak is just starting in the first episode. I'm hoping they will show what it will be like once zombies are everywhere in LA and the city is just falling apart. Previews make it seem like it will get crazy.

Agreed. If they go too fast it will just be the same show only set in LA.

I liked it.

I really enjoyed it. I like the aspect of seeing how society reacts when the outbreak first starts. I thought the actor who plays the son with the drug problem was great. Too bad this 1st season is only 6 episodes.

I agree about the son actor

Rygar

He channeled a lot of Heath Ledger's Joker, I thought!

I really like how it shows the dead as almost invincible. They are so easily killed anymore in the original.

Rygar

That's because they know to go for the head in the original

So far I think it's great! I liked the slow build. It helped develop the characters and the family dynamics. I think its interesting to watch this thing spread. A few people figured something strange was going on, some had heard about a virus, but most just went about their days normally. The shit is about to hit the fan and this thing is going to spread rapidly.The zombies are people they know, and they are not just rotting corpses. The hospital definitely knows something is up, the way they immediately moved the old man downstairs to the morgue as soon as he flatlined. Can't wait for next episode.

Thought it was pretty cool as well.
The son reminds me more of a young Johnny Depp than Heath Ledger.
Daughter was kinda cute too....

Rygar

Good point on Johnny Depp, you're right. His acting after he got out of the hospital was where I was comparing him to Ledger's Joker.

Sunday nights. I think AMC will replay the pilot before the 2nd episode this week

pjradio

Well, that ramped up nicely!

i did get to watch it, must say that it was a good watch.

enjoyed the first two episodes, but i still don't think we are going to get the full story as to what caused the outbreak. so far, we know people get sick and turn into walkers (simply die from the illness and reanimate). but what is this illness? where did it come from? why are some contracting such a severe case that they die from it to come back as a walker, and what is causing others to walk around completely unaffected?

i know it's only two episodes and i think the first season will have a total of six episodes (?) so maybe there might be more answers to follow. and while it's cool to see the mayhem unfold, i am more interested in where the actually illness came from. who was patient zero?

also, while LA still has electricity, would be nice to see some news clips of all hell breaking loose in other countries. give it more of a global perspective.

I think the creators have said the cause will never be revealed (that isn't meant to read = they have a backstory and aren't telling us).

Yeah, I think Kirkman has said he does not plan to get into the reason behind the outbreak

I like it better that way, personally.

bobby dazzlers

loved the 1st two episodes...there is the who knows about it and who doesn't - conspiracy theory aspect to it.
and just to see a way that society breaks down has me hooked...

edit - will the 6 episodes bring us to the 6th season of the original?

bobby dazzlers

is there a new one just about to start?

pjradio

yes...3rd one

dimitrispearljam

Last episode was great!!

DewieCox

It was the best episode so far, but Jesus h Christ!!!, episodes 2 and 3 were horrible. I know TWD characters do a lot of dumb shit that get them into their pickles, but there were just so many things that were unrealistic to create drama or the easy solution....amidst all the rioting and madness, with a burning car right next to it, the sweet old pickup truck is still spotless?

Decent episode last night. I like the idea of them being at sea for this season. Although I'm guessing they won't have the boat to themselves for very long. And I'm already rooting for all 3 of the kids to die....why must every show make teenagers the worst and most annoying characters?!?

That's probably because teenagers are annoying little shits in real life too! hahahaha!
I thought it was a decent episode. Some dumb stuff, some good stuff.
The whole idea of the military firebombing LA from fighter jets seemed a bit much, though we never really did get to see the events that lead to the original Walking Dead. So they are what, a few weeks in to zombies taking over and already you have people as pirates, shooting up people's boats and killing them? Seems like that would be something that would happen after some time passed where people were desperate for supplies....I dunno....

Haha, I kept asking myself if I was such an annoying asshole when I was a teenager. The answer is clearly yes. There just seems to be so many teenage characters in TV shows recently that drive you fucking nuts. Dana Brody from Homeland is still the worst! But these 3 may give her a run for that title.

And yeah, it does seem a bit early for people to be shooting up others since the outbreak just happened. But, I do like that the show started as the outbreak was happening. A much different perspective than Rick waking up out of a coma months into the zombie apocalypse.
