You left off the best part ... "I bought them from Satan at a yard sale!"

I've liked every ep of the show so far.. It's just too bad that this season is so short... As for the source material of the comics, I don't really mind the show heading off in different directions the base is still pretty solid.. Zombies, group of people.. Graaaaahhhh!!.. Yeah that will work.. lol

randomness, might of already been posted and I missed it but from Gutters comic page..
"Still, upon hearing that Frank Darabont was involved heavily, I couldn't help but picture a Walking Dead/Shawshank Redemption piece, which resulted in today's page."

I don't mind them departing from the comic, but I have some concerns about where they are going.

In the comics, for the first 30 or so issues there were few if any major living human enemies. There were some unsavory individuals and disagreements, but I'm talking about sociopaths and Mad Max raider type enemies. Their introduction to the comic, and from what I've read they only became more frequent as it progressed, is what turned me off from it. My concern is that the series is rushing to get where the comic was forced to go eventually because, IMO, the creative tank was hitting E on the original, more grounded, premise.

He's also had an anal-dwelling but monkey burst out of his asshole.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

I finally started the show on Sunday night and have watched all four episodes and I'm loving every minute of it. I thought about going back to the older threads but after reading this one I'd be better off just avoiding the threads altogether. I am shocked at the feedback, I thought it would be damn near universal praise in here.

For me, the show feel a lot like The Stand should have if it was handled by someone more competent and on a network that allows more language & gore. Makes me want a new network to tackle it properly.

The only issue I've had thus far is the transition from the pilot directed by Darabont to the episodes. The premier felt like a movie and the directing efforts of the ensuing episodes have a tv feel to them. Still solid, but clearly in a different league than Darabont. I guess that's unavoidable, but still worth noting.

Speaking of the Pilot, I wonder if the plot with the dad & son will get resolved. I'm dying to know if he shot his wife and made a run for it.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

Same here, except in the opposite way. I thought you all were tough on stuff, but maybe that's more the movie threads, I don't spend a lot of time in TV Talk.

I expected to come into these threads and defend small parts of the show from a huge majority of flaming bile.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

That's the way it goes when something is very hyped up.

What I don't get is why this show gets all the beating when every single show airing right now has the same kind of "stupid" writing ocasionally. Some even worse than this. And even 'Terriers' and 'Breaking Bad' has had a couple of eye rolling moments.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

You have to read the Pilot thread at least. Some of that shit is golden! :lol:

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

How the hell is Shawn of the Dead better? The characters in that movie act like complete imbeciles, or British, if you prefer.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

It is a comedy. Had they not acted like imbeciles it would have seriously cut down on the haha parts. When the movie jumps to a serious note it sorta punches you in the gut because you were not ready for it...

Walking Dead may jump it at the end of this season, it is hard to tell because we'd need to see how this season ends in order to rate it as a whole.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

True. The show wasn't really on my radar at all, but TiVo'd it for the hell of it and was instantly hooked. It just seemed like something this forum would eat up regardless of quality.

For reference though I'm indifferent to zombie stuff. I'm not anti-zombie, just don't get all the love. Looking at Navinabob's list of top 10 movies better than the Walking Dead, I've seen Zombieland. :lol:


Noted. Will check out when I get some free time.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

Comedy or not, the level of stupidity displayed by the protagonists could only be exceeded by teabaggers.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

:rolleyes:

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

These guys tear this episode apart (but not without some positive comments as well). So a heads-up, to those who might cry from reading dissenting opinions. Although they do give way more reasons as to what was wrong with the episode than those that loved it give for what was so great about it. Reasons matter. And I don't understand when people gloss over this stuff.
I think this quote nails it:

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

Ok fine. Teabagging zombie sluts?

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

You think this is bad, you should check out the Zombie Squad forums. http://zombiehunters.org/forum/index...c7c7758bf7d214

Over 40 pages of people mostly bitching about the tank, and Glocks not having a safety. -rolleyes-

But I'm not gonna 'cry' about it. If people don't like it, fuck'em. Doesn't mean I have to stop enjoying it.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

What the hell was this in? Sounds awesome :lol:

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

Bruce Almighty?

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

Sounds like Dr Mabuse.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

This quote just confuses me. Hardcore horror fans like a lot of movies with plots that are full of holes and characters that do totally nonsensical things.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

I wonder if there actually are Koreans in Atlanta. I'd thought they'd get strung up there.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

Don't forget, the monkey also returned from whence it came :)

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

For all that want to see the scene from Bruce Almighty (starting at 0:40):

I hope this is a joke made in bad taste rather than bigotry.

Re: The Walking Dead -- "Vatos" -- 11/21/10
 

I think he was implying that Atlanta was racist towards Koreans there (not that he was himself); but who knows. We get all kinds here.
