The Walking Dead (AMC)

[Markku]

Love the walking dead.

Great erik! The Walking Dead's 4th season premiere is in a few weeks! The second season (Hershel's farm) was somewhat worse than the brilliant first one, but I think the third picked up in quality again.

Spoiler

Wonder when and how The Governor makes his comeback. I've also read somewhere that there will be a time jump between S3 & S4 --- interesting to see how long has passed.

 

[erik]

Yes I agree. Walking dead season 2 was not that good. I just rewatched Season 3 again and it was still good.

 

[erik]

Anyone catch the premiere of season 4 Walking Dead? What your impressions.....looks to be an action packed season...

I'll start watching it within the next hour or so! Can't wait - heard it's great.

Have you read the comics by the way? I haven't.

 

[erik]

No I have never read the comic....maybe i will take a look

 

[christine kauhane]

I love that show been waiting for months for it to come back on. and last night it was great i watched it twice i love zombie movies and the walking dead is the best one ever......

 

[SarahR]

I've watched the first two series and definitely agree with the second one being a bit dull. I'll watch the third when I see the blu-ray cheap.

Contrary to you guys, I've read the comics, and I'd definitely suggest doing so If you haven't. The stories being so similar yet so different really does add tension... you think you know what's going to happen but you never can tell!

On a similar note has anyone played the Telltale game?

Is this TV program like the movie, "Night of the Walking Dead" where there are human flesh eating zombies?

 

[frohike]

I played the adventure videogame: http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/207610/
It's relaxed with seconds of panic where you have to make a hard decision and live with it. There are no easy choices, sometimes you give food to someone, and the other person accuses you of playing favorites. It's not about happy endings, just survival.

 

[Erlend]

I watched the two first seasons but lost track when they came to the city with the governor. Last thin I remember was that black chick that stabbed him in the eye with some glass.

 

[yonkapin]

Got into season 1 but got sick of it really quickly, too much cheese. Tried to watch the latest one, still no dice.

All about Boardwalk Empire and Eastbound and Down for me ATM!

That may have been "Night of the Living Dead." I seem to remember a movie by that name.

Yes, vicki, that's what I was thinking of. Thanks!

 

[vickilynn]

Yes, vicki, that's what I was thinking of. Thanks!

I used to watch a lot of those old movies. Still do watch some of them. Are you by chance familiar with Sammy Terry and Nightmare Theatre?

 

[gary]

Nightmare Theater rings a bell, we are going back quite sometime?

 

[NeoM]

I watch it and I've read the comics too. The comics are a lot more violent and the story is different somewhat. The farm and the prison are in the comics, but things turned out differently.

 

[NeoM]

Last episode it said someone will "fall," which I presume is killed. I wonder who? The first person that comes to my mind is Herschel.

 

[christine kauhane]

not herschel!!! lol i watched this show from the very beginnig and i'v become attached to all of them i dont want anyone to die lol, but then again it would not be a good show if no one died right???

 

[NeoM]

not herschel!!! lol i watched this show from the very beginnig and i'v become attached to all of them i dont want anyone to die lol, but then again it would not be a good show if no one died right???

I agree I like Herschel, but he only has one good leg. He seems like the prime one to go in a battle.

Michonne is too important, Carl and Rick can't either, so I don't know I can't see Daryl going either. Maybe it will be Tyreese.

 

[christine kauhane]

cant wait to see.....

 

[AnneG]

Better not be Michonne, I like her too much! Hahaha Oh and i remember when Lori died. Oh my god i could not stop crying! I just loved her too much to let her go! It was crazy! I usually really grow an attachment to fictional characters i read or watch and TWD is something i have seen since the very BEGINNING so i feel like i really know them so well!

If you cried when she died in the TV show you would not like what happened in the comics.

I remember I read like 20-30 of the comics in one day and it left me semi-depressed because there was so much death and everything.

 

[AnneG]

HERSCHEL DIED!!!! NOOOOOO :"( I CRIED SO HARD!

 

[Markku]

HERSCHEL DIED!!!! NOOOOOO :"( I CRIED SO HARD!

He was great. Father of the group. Like Dale was before. Damn...

TWD returns on Feb 9th. Can't wait for the second half of the season. The gang is divided, so some interesting times ahead. I felt it was about time they left the prison, for the sake of the story.

 

[Hudson]

At least the Governor got what he deserved. I was very bummed about Herschel as well.

 

[AnneG]

True abot the governor, but i also agree with Markku about them leaving the prison for sake of the story.

Oh yeah, long time ago. They guy who played Sammy died here a while back. His son is still playing the role according to what I find on the internet. I saw him in person at our mall once. Not without the makeup though. But there are pics online of Bob Carter who played him.

I personally liked Season 1 and 2 the best. Season 3 was just ok. Season 4 I am QUITE dissapointed in so far. It lost a lot of the character development from the first 2 seasons and feels more soap opera-ey to me. It also feels more like a bad zombie slasher film too and I'm NOT into that as much I am interested in the human interaction and the story of survival.

 

[Logan]

Wow I don't know why I didn't find this thread sooner, The Walking Dead is like my life. I love it, and I can't wait till it comes back next month! I have heard there is going to be a shocking death and it was hinted that the person who will die hasn't died in the comic. So that narrows it down to Rick, Carl, Michonne, and Maggie, also Daryl and Beth because they were not in the comics. I honestly think it will be Maggie though, I don't see them killing Rick or Michonne or especially Carl because he has a lot of development to go through still. Also Daryl is getting a episode or two to himself so I hope it isn't him. But I don't want to make a huge post because I have a lot of topics to talk about lol.

Anyone noticing the crickets in the bagground?:O
It feels like there's a slight distortion to them after I've gotten t, I dunno!
