You are not well.

Didn't you see the second episode?

He smuthered himself in zombie guts so he could move around like one of the 'walkers' and it worked till' it rained.

Now imagine what you could do!

You could go to the store, pick up a DVD, say hi to the clerk, Zombie Joe, wink at Zombie Moe, and tell that Zombie hoe to back off your friend because she/he isn't wanted.

Anyway. I really like that the show isn't sticking like glue to the original comic.

I definitely agree with that.

I've got to say, Episode 3 was fine, but I had been hoping that they wouldn't have given that guy the hacksaw so easy...

As for Shane, well, I don't think Lori is that much of a whore compared to him. He did something even worse... He lied to Lori and said that Rick was dead, then he got pissed about it when he was confronted and took his anger out on a fat man.

But they added a bit of "eewwwww" to that, so I'll excuse it.

But that guy deserved it. I'm surprised those women didn't really gang up and give him what for. I'd have bashed him with the washboard and told him he'd be getting two bruises to every one he put on the missus.

I'd have thrown him on the hood of that Charger "DeathProof" style and driven back into Atlanta... Which reminds me; why on earth did they drive the vehicle up the train tracks at the end... Why not just drive up the opposite side of the highway? The asian guy drove out that way just fine, and Rick rode in on the horse just fine...

It didn't work out so well when Rick rode Ol' Tasty in. Atlanta has freight lines running through it; might provide a more zombie-free lane of access.

I've been trying to figure out exactly where the camp is. Looks very familiar, like I've been there. West of Downtown, I'd say, from the glimpses of identifiable buildings I saw. And a quarry. Shouldn't be hard to pin down (although the distance is tricky, if they use even a little telephoto).

Saw episode two last night. Still wouldn't call it overly impressive but it is entertaining.

This may have been brought up already in the last few pages (I'm trying to avoid spoilers for ep 3) but the 'smelling the living' deal from ep 2...wouldn't that suggest the zombies are breathing? In any case, I laughed like a knob during the chopping up the body scene.

I wonder if they will put out a box set of DVD's when the season is over?

I should think so.

it IS Andrew Lincoln from Teachers. Preposterous!
Since when did he make from the move from fluffy everyday comedy to blood-spurting, brain-slurping, tendon-ripping, bone-munching action/adventure/horror/drama?

I was checking Amazon.ca, they had yet to list anything.

Odd. Amazon.co.uk have it up, and we hardly ever get anything first.

And it's already got 5 five star reviews...despite the fact that only two episodes have been on TV.

Those reviewers obviously aren't taking into account the plans to incorporate a lump of putrefying flesh into the packaging.

I actually did feel a little bad for Lori. Did Shane assume he was dead, or was he lying just to get into her pants. That is pretty low if he did that.

And yep, a**hole deserved it, and more.

I was expecting Andrea to deck him actually. When he first started shooting his mouth off, I got pretty angry at his neanderthal behavior. But when he threateded his wife, and all of them really, I would have lost it. I am glad Shane was there, but it would serve him right to be beaten up by some women.

Oh, and are there only 3 more eps left? Seriously?? What kind of a lame season is 6 eps?

The last I checked was a couple days ago. It very well might be up now.

This seemed like a very talky episode to me--with the exception of the repeated fists to a man's head (a man who would in all likelihood die or be seriously brain-damaged in the RW but probably won't be here--which I've already complained about in the Supernatural thread, so that's all I'll say about it--grrr). And the reunion between Rick and Lori was just weird. I would think there would be more disbelief and tears. He seemed to react alright but I didn't believe her reaction--even taking into account the secret.

Also, I had a real hard time thinking that the stealthy young guy would be so stupid as to drive a car with a blaring alarm into their camp. Didn't he just use the alarm to attract a bunch of walkers in town? And why have they been camped there and not constructed any sort of perimeter? Jeez.

On the plus side, there was some gratuitous shirtless Andy Lincoln, gotta love that...Even if they are trying too hard to make him look like a young handsome Viggo Mortenssen. And is this a series or just a reunion of actors from The Mist? I hope Thomas Jane shows up soon!

And speaking of Supernatural, it was kinda neat seeing the guy who played the skinwalker on Friday's SN ep play the mechanic tonight.

Missed it.
It was on 3x's last night and missed 'em all!

After I watch it....I'll Be Back.

*yw for the warning*

I just watched episode three. It was ok.

Yeah, I always thought the idea of the zombies having what appears to be a more rather than less acute sense of smell than when they were living was stupid. It's straight from the comic, though.

I'm not familiar with the comic but maybe these 6 follow that and then they'll veer off for more if the show is popular? The way they keep advertising the contest for the "stagger on" part I'm guessing they have a Season 2 in the works.That parking on the train tracks bugged me, too. I call obvious foreshadowing of getting stuck in Ep 4.

Bmwhtly · Nov 16, 2010

Apparently series 2 was comissioned after the second episode aired.

seun · Nov 16, 2010

I also liked the dry roads after the rain in ep 2. I think I saw one very small puddle.

Not to mention they left the back of the truck open. That's just asking for a zombie to crawl in waiting for you when you'll probably be running for your life and jump into the truck thinking you are safe.

A 6 episode season, hopefully they'll amp it up a bit on the remaining few.
