THE WALKING DEAD...and all things zombie

won't be watching season 3 of FTWD, I can tell you that. only reason I'm watching the rest of season 2 is my wife insisted we buy it through itunes (we don't have cable). I wasn't even sold after season 2. getting loaded and playing the piano knowing there are walkers at any moment and they are attracted by sound? really? I think the premise of the dead not being monsters is kind of cool, but not enough.

the graphics of those walkers falling to the ground reminded me of something out of a gumby cartoon. Nicotero must be blowing his entire budget on WD with not much leftover for FTWD.

Lol on the Nicotero comment. I've actually tried for two nights to watch Sunday's episode, but keep falling asleep. In Fear's defense, I am sleep deprived so it probably would have happened anyways. I accidentally erased the episode from my dvr last night... I'll have to find it on demand now and sit through the commercials... I will watch it though. Come on, I know it's not the best show ever AND NOTHING like TWD, but is it really that bad??? One of these days they are going to do a cross over and the two shows will somehow connect.... Although at that point, we could probably safely say that TWD "jumped the shark". Lol

it's not that it's bad, it's that it is boring. and the characters are really fucking stupid. this happened a few times in WD as well, but how can these people be the 1% of the population that was able to survive while continuing to act so recklessly. makes for great drama? yes, but it just seems so unrealistic. Yes, of course, we have to suspend belief somewhat in a show about zombies, but the characters still need to act as if they are making sense in the context of the show's plotline. and they simply aren't.

and don't get me started on how awesome they all look still. I look worse than that just after going camping for 3 days. at least most of the walking dead characters look dirty. although Rosita still looks like she just got ready to head out to a biker bar every episode.

Yeah.... I can't exactly disagree with you on those points. They are not the brightest characters and it does err on the side of unrealistic.....for a zombie show.

By the way, Rosita does always look like she's headed to a biker bar. Daryl, on the other hand, flat out refuses to take a shower, even while in Alexandria. And that hair.....constantly in his eyes and stuck to his face. Drives me crazy.

and for some reason the lady fans of the show LOVE him to look like he's homeless. it's somehow sexy.

That preview gave me chills.

Right hand man....michonne

The countdown is on.... 7 days until we see Maggie get it. Then we'll watch Glenn get it by trying to save her.

I could see that. I don't think it's going to be just one of those 2 because the other one would have been freaking out and screaming in that scene with Negan/Rick talking.

i can't really see maggie going. she is pregnant (not that it matters on this show).

Well, like I said before, Negan is one messed up person that has supposedly killed people's children in front of them to prove a point. I don't see him really caring about the fact that she is pregnant. She's also sick and weak, so what use would she be to him? Rick's crew was out there to begin with bc they were trying to save her. That would be such the ultimate mind f*ck to Rick. I know she has a big role in future comics, but they could easily swap her out with someone else. It's going to be Maggie. Then Glenn will jump in to save her and he will be killed for trying to interfere.
