It's official. The Walking Dead is one cool drama.

[Dyler Turden]

Just watched the latest episode on AMC and wow. Between this show and Breaking Bad, AMC is taking over HBO's slot for innovative and good programming.

[Lucian]

1. Agreed.

And there's only three more episodes left of the season??? :wtf: Damn that sucks! But season two will have 13 episodes.

I really hope season two of The Walking Dead doesn't interfere with season four of True Blood. They share the same timeslot. x(

[Dyler Turden]

2. I just heard that as well.

Sigh. But at least it's coming back. If it does interfere you can always watch it online at the AMC website a couple of days after airing.

32. Less Is Better

Give me a few high quality episodes over trying to stretch the story line out over a high number of episodes. Imagine how great X-Files would have been with only a few shows every year instead of 26.

3. Remember to enter the contest at the end of the episode.

I did, it would so cool to win it.

[Lucian]

4. That would be awesome.

I want a stagger-on role as a geek. That'd be sweet...

[proteus_lives]

5. Double-sweet.

This fellow geek agrees.

[krispos42]

6. I'm really glad that Shane beat the shit out of Ed.

I'm just pissed the ladies didn't do it themselves.

[Dyler Turden]

7. Yeah. I was hoping that would happen.

But it would have been sweet if the ladies did it themselves.

[krispos42]

9. I hate how the battered wife was all "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" after he was pulped, though.

:puke:

It will make for problems later on. One of them will kill the other. "Oh, zombie!" *blam*.

[proteus_lives]

18. That's what happens in real life.

It's part of the problem.

Abusers make the abused dependent on them and make them think it's their fault.

[krispos42]

19. And that is what makes it so disgusting

:puke:

[The Backlash Cometh]

35. I think this was to show that Shane has a dark side that might get darker

as the show evolves. On the other hand, I think the guy who cut his hand off, might change in a positive manner. One hopes.

[orleans]

8. so.....? what's it about...? n/t

[Dyler Turden]

10. It's a series taken from a graphic novel

where in a 28 Days sort of way the protagonist awakes to a world with, wait for it, ZOMBIES!

As silly as the premise is they have done it very well and is more character driven than zombie driven.

[NewJeffCT]

21. I picked up a graphic novel in the local Borders last week

and the storyline from the graphic novel that I looked through in the store was pretty much the same as the TV show pilot. Was the graphic novel an updated adaptation of the TV show, or did the pilot really parallel the original graphic novel that closely?

I didn't think of that until I had left Borders.

[MountainLaurel]

23. The latter

I'm pretty sure the graphic novels have been out for a few years (it was published as a serial, like your usual comic book).

[Systematic Chaos]

11. Imagine 28 Days Later or any other cool zombie flick...

...made for TV while still being almost cinematic in its presentation.

It is an absolutely awesome series, and may appeal to you even if you don't usually care for zombie-based entertainment.

[Lucian]

17. The beginning starts out like the beginning of 28 Days Later...

but then it moves on to something like the remake of Dawn of the Dead.

Awesome. :)

[denbot]

12. It's official: Season two is going to take forever to air..

I found out Saturday that this season was only 6 episodes.

[Dyler Turden]

13. Sucks, doesn't it?

[Lucian]

16. I bet it'll be on next summer sometime.

x(

[NewJeffCT]

22. 6 episodes?

that's it?

How about season 2, since that's already been picked up?

[charlie and algernon]

24. wiki says it's gonna be 13 episodes

so at least we're getting double. I imagine that AMC is approaching this cautiously since Zombie movies tend to either do great or bomb in the theaters. They're probably waiting to see what kind of following they have before investing in the usual 16-20 episode season.

[Yavin4]

33. I'll Say It Again, Less Is Better

That's the number one rule of entertainment. Less is better. Leave the audience wanting more.

[Supply Side Jesus]

14. TWD is pretty good so far

But don't write off HBO yet.... True Blood, Boardwalk Empire are great!

Next year Game of Thrones will blow you away!

[Lucian]

15. Game of Thrones is going to be EPIC!

I can't wait! :bounce:

I'm sure the tv series will be out before A Dance with Dragons will be. :rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

20. I might have to subscribe to HBO to see "A Game of Thrones"

one thing for sure, they won't have to sign any actors to long term contracts...

[Lucian]

27. Indeed.

On both accounts.

[Iggo]

25. Game Of Thrones? WHAT?!?!?!

I just bought the book!

I'm 50 pages in. Should I stop now and wait for the TV show? Or should I get it read and be one of those "Oh well you know the book is waaaay better than the movie" lames?

Decisions, decisions...

[Lucian]

26. Read it!

[Supply Side Jesus]

34. Defintly read it

even if they botch the series, which I don't think they will, it'll be some of the best books you'll read in awhile!

[NickB79]

28. I don't have cable! Where else can I watch this?

My wife and I saw the first episode on Fancast, and it was excellent. Since then, no more episodes have been posted! WTF, was that just a teaser that AMC did to taunt us?

[LawnLover]

30. iTunes has it for 10 bucks, season pass. nt.

[LawnLover]

29. Agreed. I just got the season pass on iTunes. nt.

[rbnyc]

31. Indeed!

Too bad the season is so short.

[Initech]

36. AMC is an amazing network. Walking Dead and Breaking Bad = both very bad ass shows.
