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. |

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. |

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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

Apparently series 2 was comissioned after the second episode aired.

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