Anyone Watching "Walking Dead" on AMC?

I guess this show was a hit as noted by the number and length of posts.

Here it is for me. (I told you about Lori next week, I have very sensitive beiochdar. Also, was in the discussion about everybody being infected.)

There are several choices for the writers. They can make a percentage of the population immune to the virus. They can make the living population susceptible to different symptoms, (e.g., Shane, Lori, etc.), or they can allow this whole thing to degenerate into a simplistic good versus evil premise. If the later happens, I'm outa here. If the former does, we just might have TV that has evolved to a greater form of expression . . . .

In answer to your PS, (non-spoiler version) it is a character from the comics named Michonne.

SPOILER ALERT


The two zombies are former friends/lover who are used to
ward off walkers. Michonne is a serious badass in the comics, i assume the
show will depict her in the same way

Is she hot?

She is a mamba momma from the publicity photo. A Pam Greer figure, with sassy looks.

See, Rubber Soul? You can take the kid outa the country, but you can't take the country outa the kid. Pam Greer; I don't know does she have large breasts?

Here is a photo of the new character as she will not look on Walking Dead:

I guess Grace Jones may have been more it!

I think you are giving the writers way too much credit. I love this show for the zombie-survival theme, but it has had lazy writing in season 2. I felt nothing really happened to significantly further the plot with the exception of the last two episodes. You guys may disagree, but I found everything that happened prior to that was filler. I am so glad they are finally off the farm and am intrigued about the new hooded character with the katana who saved Andrea (who has come quite a long way from wanting to kill herself in season 1).

Dont forget that there was a first half of season 2 where they get ambushed by the walkers on the highway and Sophia runs away, then Carl gets shot.....There was a lot that went on in season 2, more than just "filler". Which I do agree, at times it just seemed like they were talking the whole time, but after watching the entire season 2 over again, it was pretty epic IMO!

I concur.

Every season is epic so far.

I look forward to 10 more.

Season 2 has definitely been underwhelming. The last two episodes were pretty good, but other than that the rest was just painfully slow and too dramatic. I don't turn to amc for days of our lives drama. I wanna see a zombie apocalypse and the impact it has on people's humanity as well as the action that comes with it, not who's the baby's daddy and other dramatic filler.

Also, the women have been portrayed terribly on this show. There is not a single strong female character on this show. They're all developed so that the viewers hate them, especially Lori.

Additionally, giving the token black guy absolutely no role of importance really pisses me off. He's just there so that there's diversity in the group. There have been episodes in which he was literally not in at all. And in the ones he was shown, he had no dialogue.

The also need to show more survivor stuff like scrounging for supplies, constantly being on edge and looking around, making preparations for a surprise horde, etc. They need to start making pipe bombs, bile bombs, molotov cocktails, and have gas tanks and cans to blow up, and a defibrillator nearby. Pills and adrenaline shots should be used regularly, especially in zombie battles. Finally, there should be a renewed emphasis on melee weapons including but not limted to guitars, katanas, bats, cricket bats, frying pans, crowbar, fire axe, machete, police baton, and chainsaws. Oh and don't forget about dual pistols. Dual pistols are always epic.

I to wish that there was more action and zombie killing like in the last episode, but there has to be substance to the storyline. I mean my girlfriend and mom both watch the show and they hate horror flicks. They give enough to keep both audiences happy IMO. This season did get slow once they were settled down on the farm, but you knew they were getting overrun sooner or later. Season 3 will be action packed I promise you!

As for the woman, I agree for the most part. Andrea was weak at 1 point when she kept wanting to kill herself but she has came a lot further along and is turning into the strong one of the group. Plus we just met, at the end of the last episode, the most badass woman in the series.

[comic spoiler]
I agree with T-dawg, and I felt the same thing during a couple episodes "where is T-dawg"? In the comics, the black guy is a former professional football player named Tyreese. He has a daughter and she has a boyfriend. He also "pairs up" with Carol and Sophia. Idk why they don't have him in the show, he's a pretty badass character in the books and gets along very well with Rick.

I agree. But I am saying, if they take the easy way out this season, so will I.

Tend to agree with all but the dual wielding pistols part.

The only time I'd use anything other than dual-wielded pistols in Left 4 Dead was when the freaking Tanks showed up. Love the dual-wield. Though I doubt they'd have unlimited ammo haha

Don't be so naive. Dual pistols always have unlimited ammo.

So..... I pointed out to my wife that the open window was on her side of the bed, and that the Zombies would come in that side of the room and eat her first. The good news is that would give me time to get away. Ask her to be sure to try and keep them all busy. Also asked her to slide down a little so I would have full coverage, don't want them to go after my feet......

She didn't think it was all that funny.
