    81, they are going to need to focus on the living. It's about survival, not the zombies. The zombies will get old. They are just another opstical in this post-apocolptic world, but I'm sure there will be plenty of more time for zombie killing.

    zombie battles never get old. one dead zombie tonight is not near enough. it's time to throw down.

    if the entire cast was killed off over the course of a month...i'd be cool with that...just have em run into new poeple every few episodes....

    it's zomibes....walking dead....not drawn out drama. i didn't sign up for a drama show, i want an action/adventure show. pick up the pace
    I think the producers want to keep it as real as possible, but yeah, shocking cast deaths are always good. Carl either needs to die, or come back and kill a 100 zombies.

    this show was never about the zombies themselves. it's what the zombies and the disease has done to the survivors, and how they are going to continue to survive.

    the zombies represent something bigger than just mindless gore. that's what I like about this show.

    I like human drama as much as anyone..I watch a lot of slower drama shows...but tonight's episode was boring...and something seemed off with the zombie "acting" tonight..the one going after Andrea actually made me laugh.

    I also realized I don't like or care about most of the characters...and the acting overall seemed off for several of the characters. Maybe its all in my head since i've been following the drama of AMC wanting to cut the budget, show less zombies, and shoot mostly indoors, but I'm starting to get concerned..

    I didn't like Shane and the Fat Man's plan to get to the medical trailer. Instead of throwing a few flares about 20 feet away from the trailer, why not set off a bigger diversion further away from the trailer, and get them all further away?

    Shane was in a rough spot, after watching the fat guy huffing trying to get back to the house, he is not the one I would want with me heading into a place packed with zombies. I thought we learned that lesson at the begining of Zombieland. :lol:

    You would think they would have saved some flares to use as a distraction for when they had to get out of the trailer.

    watched my first episode last night. also, first caught the last 10 minutes of the season finale of 1, which was a great transition into the 2nd season for me.

    after seeing just one episode, i agree with 81, more zombie killing! you can find the blend of killing & drama to keep both sides of the desire fulfilled. the girl coming out of nowhere on a horse like robin hood smashing that one zombie with a bat was pretty funny. borderline absurd.

    i did like how the two guys distracted and snuck into that medical truck to get supplies. it seems the realism is there in this series. in a hollywood movie, those two guys would probably have light up the entire parking lot with automatic weapons while supporting a great looking haircut.

    definitly held my interest and i am excited to see what happens next week!

    are you a fan of 28 days later & 28 weeks later?

    28 days later scared the living shit out of me the first time i saw it. one of my favorite horror movies of all time, 28 weeks later i thought was so-so, but i like how the story continues. appartently they are going to make a third & final installment.

    Yeah, they showed a bit of that at the end of the episode for the scenes from next week. Shane and Tubby were in a gym standing at the top of some collapsible bleachers (so essentially standing on a ledge 8-9 feet up) with a shitload of zombies in the gym and Shane was firing off his shotgun.

    its very campy and mostly silly... but really REALLY sick and gorey. one of peter jackson's first movies. The idea of the taking out massive amts of zombies with the lawnmower in dead rising (vid game) comes directly from the end of this movie

    Not sure if anyone else brought this up about the whole deer / Carl shooting but how / why the hell did tubby "shoot" a deer with a gun when there are walkers around? Why wasn't he using a bow and arrow or a crossbow?

    there's a difference between watching a good drama and wanting to watch a soap opera. I dig tv death scenes, but if that's all it's going to be moving forward, I'll probably move on.

    I get enough mindless garbage at my job. :lol:

    Well, they just have to keep the balance. Because on the opposite side of the coin is a show that gets so caught up in all the drama and personal relationships that it might as well not be taking place in the zombie apocalypse. There are lots of dramas on TV, but only one zombie apocalypse show, so I think they need to be careful not to neglect that aspect of the show.

    I just need to be more invested in each character then i am now. I don't relate to many of them well. Like others have said you can't have a show just about killing zombies and have it an all out action event. That won't last on TV. For most people it gets old.

    the draw is the psychology of those left alive. I like the conversation between Cop and Doctor (or VEt) about the cure or lack there of.

    Its doing a pretty good job at this point hopefully they will continue.

    I have not watched the talking dead yet. Is it any good? Felicia Day is going to be on it next week so I know i'll tune in for that.

    The show is a little annoying (the host), but they had the guy who wrote the books on the last two weeks, and it was interesting to hear what he has to say. And he did say there is some killing comming up soon.

    I don't know, I'll probably keep watching it just to get some questions answered, and see some behind the scenes stuff, but something about the show kind of irks me. It's like... you know those infomercials that pretend to be a talk show? And the guy is like "thanks for having me on your 'show' " and all that. I kind of get that vibe off Talking Dead sometimes. It's clearly meant to hype the show and entice people to watch the next one, and AMC put this thing together but the creator (who will apparently be on every episode either in person or via Satellite) is like "thanks for having me on". And there's something that's just so awkward about the whole thing.
