I can't wait for next week

Me too, but the amount of commercials towards the end of the show was really annoying.

Yeah, it seemed like they would show like 2-3 minutes of show and then 5 minutes of commercials. The actual running time of the "90 minute premiere" was 1 hour, the other half hour was commercials. So it was only about 15 minutes longer than a standard episode, with 15 extra minutes of commercials to match.

I enjoyed the first half, then it lost steam. I love the Redneck.

Yea.. the commercials were ridiculous. Thankfully I DVR'd it and just skipped them.

Definitely agree on ALL counts. The story was moving along well and then as soon as the second half hit, the stupid kid had to go get lost and stop the show dead in its tracks. It never really seemed to hit its pace again after that, and after a few commercial breaks, I didn't really care anymore if they found her or not, I just wanted the show to move on without having to see 15 commercials for "Survival of the Dead" (a terrible movie, ESPECIALLY by Romero standards, just IMO).

However, at least Daryl had those awesome zombie stealth kills. Go redneck!

hey cut romero a break on that..yes it was horrible , but i understand him trying different things with the zombie genre..
their are only so many straight up zombie movies that can be made..he is always pushing the envelope,which makes him the best
sadly ,this idea of living with them didn't work

I love the first 3 Dead movies, and I really liked Land Of The Dead. But after he tried to make a stupid found footage movie with Diary Of The Dead (which I turned off after about 20 minutes because it was so dumb) I didn't even bother with the next one. To be honest I thought Survival Of The Dead looked pretty good from the commercial I had seen, and planned on seeing it. Until last night I saw the commercial with the zombie riding the horse, and I decided against it.

This survival of the dead on amc right now is pretty solid

diary was another attempt ...that really didn't work neither but it wasn't nowhere near as bad as survival
same way land of the dead tried the extra smart zombie idea (shooting the guns and getting into the city)

again i get his idea to try different approaches...gotta take it with a grain of salt

+1

at the last break I was wondering if there was any more show left.

I cut Romero a break on Land of and Diary of, Survival was strike 3 . In all honesty, I still love the guy and everything he has done for the genre (see: CREATED IT), but sometimes I just wonder what happened. I'm more of a zombie purist, which was my main issue with those films, didn't like the smart zombies, or zombies being able to use tools (let alone ride horses?). I suppose I can see how they would appeal to some, just not for me... Walking Dead is killing it though!

It was ok.


It kept me glued. Definitely the weakest of the episodes so far. If I had to give every episode in season 1 an A I'd give this one a B.


I really don't expect much from this season. They are dragging it out over 13 episodes..It's going to slow the series down. Honestly, I'd rather have another 6 episode season. I think from here on out its going to be very different, but the zombies will never get old.

i wanna see some gore.

i wanna see a shit ton of zombies get killed...and i wanna see a human or two eat it....none of this bullshit get lost in the woods crap....kill the fuckin little girl off already or get her back to the caravan and get moving again already.

lets use some common sense and head towards an army base, or set up camp someplace.

and for the love of god....can we ditch the POS RV and find a tour bus. i'm gonna roll in style damn it.

What we NEED is for Merle to come back, and preferably he pulls and Ash and puts a chainsaw on that stump of his and fucks some zombies up. Although it's more than likely he'll just act like a racist and cause a bunch of drama with his brother for taking their side over his and becoming one of them.

When blondie said, "blah blah, not your right, blah blah, want to off myself," and jealous cop said he was leaving, I told my wife, "she's going with him."

I was thinking that Merle might be the one responsible for what happened to the kid at the end of last night's episode. Although after thinking it over its probably not too likely that he was able to not only get ahead of the group, but find a hunting rifle and figure out how to use it with one hand. Although who knows what with that crazy redneck rage he has.

According to the video game Red Dead Redemption, a guy who's been shot and only has use of one arm can still kill you with a rifle. :roll:

There's sooooo much good stuff to come, if you read the comics. Count me as disappointed w/ Sunday's episode. Started off way strong, but fell flat after the autopsy (which I thought was brilliant).

If the Zombies are attracted to noise, why where there only 3 in the church? If that bell had been programmed to go off, you'd think it would have attracted a herd.

perhaps zombies have the ability to become accustomed to things? (they've checked out "that bell noise" several times before and come up fruitless?)
