RKMBs Forums .::Robegories::. Media AMC Puts Darabount on Kirkman's Walking Dead

Personally, I wish the TV series will not have a governor. I like it to be simpler than the clusterfuck that is the comic right now.

First set of spoilers were on target. Bad sign for Daryl.

That was a shitty ending. Why didn't anyone from the farm say anything about capturing a little girl zombie when they knew Sophia was missing?

Otis captured her and Shane shot him before he could say something.

The chick feeding the zombies didn't recognize the new girl zombie?

It's possible that she didn't see Sophia in the barn, based on her vantage point.

Also, they didn't want Rick and his crew to find out that they have zombies in the barn. There's no reason for them to mention it out of the blue.

Do you guys think Dale could be the father of Lori's baby? Maybe she really ho'd it up when she thought Rick was dead.

just ran through a walking dead marathon. in addition to not knowing (or caring) about the book, i missed all of season one, but saw the whole thing via netflix and had each episode of season two dvr'd, ready to go.

outside of my hatred for the whole "zombies take over the world" ridiculous premise (dumb dumb duuumb d-dumb dumb dumb) its a pretty good show. if we're to believe that all this shit already happened and now there's only a dozen folks left, ill offer credit and suspend disbelief to that point, and from there, it's been fun.

did i read right; is season 3 (or 2.5 or whatever) picking up in february...?

Yeah 2.5 begins in February.

huzzah!

does this get a free pass...?

Its about the people, not the zombies. The zombie apocalypse is just a plot device.

I thought the first season was cheesy.

When season two opened up with that narration into the walkie talkie shit I gave up.

did you not get mad at lost...?

that aside, like i said, i'm fine with watching a show about people running from zombies. walking dead is fun!

i just loathe the so-often-repeated concept (in this show, or any movie) that zombies could ever take over the planet. its a dumb concept. zombies can't open doors, but they take down the entire US military, every single time?? boo.

Wasn't there a scene were the military was shooting other military members? After the breakout some people turned on others for various reasons.

The show isn't a good as it should be but I'll still keep watching. Part of the fun is watching it diverge wildly from the comic (Carl not killing Shane) and I really want to see how they handle the prison storyline and how far they will be able to push it due it being on TV.

And they can open doors. First episode that chick tried to open the door to her house but it was locked and barricaded.

I think Zombie outbreaks happen in movies because they are happening in realities where people don't even know what a zombie is, and there are no zombie movies to take cues from. Otherwise, it would have ended pretty fast with people just headbashing everyone who shows the slightest sign of being infected.

Also, notice how people in Walking Dead refer to zombies as Walkers, Roamers, etc, with no one ever using the Z word.

I hate that shit. Lets call a spade a shovel and be done with it.

Uh, wait a sec...

lets say that happened; that's, like, for 20 people. or maybe 1,000 people. there are millions of soldiers! so many, they made pariah one.



alright, so the one chick almost opened a door knob. she's on par with a velociraptor. most walkers can't do anything but groan. the army has tanks, planes, and guns. ...they don't have doors with deadbolts?

even within this show, a single old man was able to capture and contain 5 times as many zombies as in his crew! and with what mighty sorcery? a chain!! if only the military had traded their fleets of aircraft carriers and stealth bombers for a collection of bicycle locks!



even if that's the case, it just doesn't make any sense. for zombieism to hit millions of people that means at one point it was in 50 people. then let's say 50 people slip by while you're learning whats going on, and all of a sudden its 20,000 people. 6.5 billion can't stop 20,000 people?

and, note, that's 20,000 people who allowed themselves to be bitten by other people who had recently died. and this is also known as 20,000 failed zombie attacks, since zombies don't bite, they eat. so even if there were 20,000 zombies, if they were to find other victims, they'd be eating them whole for sustenance, which means they're not creating any new zombies.

then there's the concept that this is happening all over the world - the scientist guy said france was having issues too. and what does that mean? that means airport screener let an angry, animated corpse through security, past the metal detector wands, onto a plane, where he presumably sat pleasantly in flight for 6 hours, had a few cocktails, got impatient with the other passengers when the pilot didn't switch off the seatbelt light fast enough, worked through customs, and then started eating those goddamn, beret-wearing french.

Comic book spoilers!

Everyone becomes a zombie after they die. That is how there are so many of them and why they are everywhere. You have to destroy the brain for them to really die.


I think that is what the scientist told Rick during the first season finale.

damnit, I was getting to that. Has the comic clarified whether that's scientific or sueprnatural already? I stopped reading around the 100th time they found a sanctuary only to fuck it up with infighting/trust issues and rick's emo teen angst. The last interesting bit about the zombie came from the fake scientist who recognized the zombie's behavioral pattern, and that was what, months, years ago?

I don't think they've gone into how they were made anymore than what the fake scientist said.

All the good comics end at issues 75-80.

Did you get to the issue where Karl gets shot through the head and lives?

what? Wasn't "Karl getting shot" used once as a plot device enough?

SPOILERS!

The last noteworthy thing I remember reading about Karl is when he killed one of the twins without any one knowing.

I tried to catch up once or twice, I downloaded a bunch of issues that dealt with the bald dude who runs another sanctuary, and rick being turned into an enforcer, but then it's all the same trust/angst/survival/realization shit and I stopped again.

It's the same with Fables. I could have stopped with Geppeto being defeated, and could have stopped again when Frau Totenkinder kicked the big bad's ass in the most awesome way possible (and then got jobbed a few pages right after). I couldn't care anymore after that.

like even people that died years ago...?

It would explain the severe decomposition some of the zombies have.

Probably so would Georgia weather.

Anyone who was alive when the virus or whatever it was spread.

but, like, including someone that died of a non-zombie related heart attack...?

that'd increase the numbers of potential zombies, but not by all that much. maybe a percentage point or two. IF, however, it was black lantern like and zombified anyone whose body was still a body, even if you died years ago... that'd not only be pretty cool, it'd explain why there're so many.

I recognize the comic book goes by "everyone who dies becomes a zombie," but the more I think about it, the TV show may not. For example, there have been a number of scenes (Rick at the gas station in the first ep, the traffic jam in this season) where we see dead bodies that don't appear to have taken head shots but also don't reanimate (the corpse Carl lifted the weapons off of in the traffic jam being one example).

On the other hand, maybe the point is that certain things, such as being trapped in a hot car to the point of mummification, can also "kill" the zombies.

plot holes can also kill zombies

AMC Expands The Walking Dead to 16 Episodes for Third Season: Like the current season, which returns Feb. 12, Season 3 will be split, Zap2it reports. The show will also add two new writers

“Walking Dead” creator: Get ready for breakneck pace. Kirkman also touches on why the dead bodies in the cars weren't zombies:

• That’s the whole ting. That’s part of the fun of “The Walking Dead” is that you don’t really know all of the rules yet. What’s going on with those dead bodies? Why are they not zombies? Why are they just sitting in cars? That’s part of our specific set of rules that will be revealed over time.
  
  So there are going to be mysteries like that: Why is that guy a zombie and the other guy isn’t? What happened with that guy, and various different things. I think by the end of Season 2, you’ll have a better understanding of what makes a zombie, and what goes into it and why those zombies in the car weren’t walking around.

The guy from Terriers should have become a main character.

Nebraska was a bit of a yawner. The ending was cool and a suprise.

I don't know anything he's done but I'm fucking stoked that the governor will show up next season.

Probably best directed at the traffic court lawyer ( ): I've heard about a lawsuit in connection with this. What is the story?
