Member Michael L. Posted November 1, 2010 Member Share Posted November 1, 2010 Yeah, let me see... Zombie outbreak, so I'm gonna ride me a horse into one of the largest cities in America. Ain't no walking dead people there. What was this dude thinking!? Yeah, I'll watch next week Well, he was the deputy in a coma because he was dumb enough to turn his back on an uncleared vehicle to yell at another deputy... So I bought the riding horse into Atlanta part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted November 2, 2010 Member Share Posted November 2, 2010 Me and Mrs. ShaOW!linDude watched this last night finally. (Really wanted to cap off Halloween with it but it just didn't happen.) It's one of the few TV shows I've seen advertised over the last few years that actually lived up to its hype. It was just fantastic. I was curious about which 'zombie' would be on display here: the plodding type or the running type. I'm glad they went for the Romero version. (The title is a giveaway, I guess.) Loved the ending. We're definitely down for this next Sunday. Let the freak-out continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member nectarsis Posted November 2, 2010 Member Share Posted November 2, 2010 LOVED it. Though I have a few reservations about a few parts (mostly nit picking)...it def met my expectations. Coincedentally a good friend posted this on FB (he's usually good on the facts): "Walking Dead set an AMC record and garnered 5.3 million viewers- waaay beyond numbers ever pulled for Mad Men or Breaking Bad- even bigger than the biggest turnout for HBO's True Blood." So hopefully a longer Season 2 is picked up in short order:xd: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted November 6, 2010 Member Share Posted November 6, 2010 I agree with everyone's post here I thought it was an excellent show, original. The only thing that got me is why they left him in the Hospital. I hope they go back and explain how the Zombies came to be was it a Man-Made Virus? And his Boy making the moves on his Wife, DAMN That's Dead Wrong! Cannot wait till this Sunday's show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted November 8, 2010 Member Share Posted November 8, 2010 Well, I don't know about the rest of you but last night's ep was great IMPO. Could've done with more zombie killing but I'm sure it's coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted November 8, 2010 Member Share Posted November 8, 2010 I like how there is a distinct feeling that there's a little picture within the big picture. The little picture is them being trapped within the building and needing a way out while the bigger picture if how the groups will meet and how Rick will react to his wife's "extra curricular activities." I hope this show goes from strength to strength. So far, it's delivered for every type of zombie fan, as well as those who aren't really big followers of that specific sub-genre.

Member Shaolin Chamber 36 Posted November 8, 2010 Member Share Posted November 8, 2010 I also loved the episode, and can't wait to see next weeks episode. Did anyone else enter the contest at a chance to play a zombie on an episode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on that. I have been a bit surprised in the extent of the violence and gore as well. Now I know why last nights episode was titled "Guts"! I never really thought of the fact that zombies have a distinct odor, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted November 8, 2010 Member Share Posted November 8, 2010 I also liked the fact is that we learn different things about these Zombies and the Dead Odor was wild, never thought of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted November 8, 2010 Member Share Posted November 8, 2010 I agree. There were some other elements showing that though they're the walking dead they're not the walking stupid. They can distinguish the living and the dead by scent. There's the one zombie using the piece of cinder block to crack the glass doors. You can tell they aren't just plodding around.....well, they are but they seem to be continually searching for something/someone to eat. Just like like the one dude's wife in the first ep. She had a memory of where she had stayed before and came back to it to the freaking front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted November 9, 2010 Member Share Posted November 9, 2010 Wow. This show is only 2 eps in. They didn't waste any time. Guess they were afraid that if they didn't renew it they would be stuck with a lot of "dead" air next season. Wait.......obviously that's what they want.

Member daisho2004 Posted November 10, 2010 Member Share Posted November 10, 2010 I remember watching one of George Romero's Zombie flicks and he said the Zombies remember places that were part of their lives, that's why they go to them, I think it was Dawn of the Dead (The original) So that does explain certain traits they still have. And they can solve certain problems as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Karlos Posted November 10, 2010 Author Moderator Share Posted November 10, 2010 You're right, Daisho - it was Romero's original DAWN OF THE DEAD film, with the zombies all gravitating towards to mall, as it was "a big part of their lives". BTW, Zombie fans, if you see it on eBay, grab the 4 disc DAWN DVD set - awesome stuff! All three versions of the film, plus some really interesting extras. There's a blu ray set, too, but never seen one for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Shaolin Chamber 36 Posted November 15, 2010 Member Share Posted November 15, 2010 Great News for the Walking Dead fans, the show was picked up for an additional 13 episodes for Season 2. Great 3rd episode last night, looking forward to the next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member David Rees Posted November 15, 2010 Member Share Posted November 15, 2010 The Arrow Blu Ray set is here on Ebay...DAWN OF THE DEAD BLU RAY... both the dvd and blu ray sets are region free... Its on my to buy list!! Have got Walking Dead episodes stacked up on my Sky + , heard good reports about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted November 15, 2010 Member Share Posted November 15, 2010 Lat night's ep was really good. Not a lot of zombie killing but next week's ep will probably hold a bit. The end of last night's ep also announced there is only 3 eps left as AMC only signed on for 6 total initially. That's a drag but at least next season will be longer. It will just be an insufferable wait for it to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Karlos Posted November 15, 2010 Author Moderator Share Posted November 15, 2010 The DAWN Blu Ray appears to have only one version of the film on it - is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Karlos Posted November 16, 2010 Author Moderator Share Posted November 16, 2010 Thanks for that, David - I may very well have to upgrade! According to Collider.com today, AMC will not be broadcasting the 2nd season of The Walking Dead until...October 2011!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted November 16, 2010 Member Share Posted November 16, 2010 It will just be an insufferable wait for it to arrive. I told you so. (I just quoted myself........can I do that?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kungfusamurai Posted November 17, 2010 Member Share Posted November 17, 2010 I won't be double dipping on the DotD set. It was a low budget film, and I think they did a good job on the transfer for that standard def ultimate version with the various cuts. I don't think it'll get any better looking. I just discovered Walking Dead a couple of episodes ago and I'm enjoying it! It's too bad I can't get the AMC high def here. I'm hoping they'll put out the series in blu ray, with more gore!!
