Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

Actually kinda shocked that Sideshow or anyone else for that matter, do not have 'The Walking Dead' 1/6 scale figures in the works (and not just zombies from their earlier zombie line)

It's all about risk. I'm afraid they might not think the license is all that valuable based on McFarty's poor sales. But I think those are due mainly to the pisspoor paint apps.
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I'm loving this confrontation between Dale and Shane - I don't think Dale is afraid of Shane at all (he has that naturally wide eyed thing, but he has it the whole time he's arguing with him, you'll notice he never backs up as Shane moves closer to him), but I'm hoping that doesn't become his undoing. Dale still has too much humanity in him to just kill Shane, whereas we all know the reverse isn't true. While part of this is pure male ego on Dale's part (he's not particularly happy with the Shane/Andrea situation, even if it was pure adrenalin fueling it) but when he has some time to think about it, he's also going to realize what a powder keg the Lori/pregnant situation is going to be. He's the kind of guy that would try to force Shane out of the group before Shane finds out, knowing how bad it would be once Shane does know.

We'll see - they just better not kill of Dale...yet.[/COLOR] You gotta admit though, that would be an act that would certainly end Shane's relationship with everyone in the group and make it clear to them all how dangerous he is.


at least until we get to see ol' peg-leg Dale.
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

Did we watch the same show? :lol

I used to watch it on the lobby television of the Motel 6 I worked at, and there was a regular flow of biker, stripper and crack dealer traffic nightly. I may have been inured to a random bare breast on tv.

:dunno

I'm loving this confrontation between Dale and Shane - I don't think Dale is afraid of Shane at all (he has that naturally wide eyed thing, but he has it the whole time he's arguing with him, you'll notice he never backs up as Shane moves closer to him)...

That was the highlight of the episode for me. He called him out on everything the second he had an opening. Never even flinched, and he was sharp enough that he immediately understood the full implications of everything Shane said back to him. Killer scene, and I'm more interested to see how that comes around on Sunday than I am the barn full of zombies.

Well...maybe not quite that much. Peoples are gonna get et. Can't wait to see who's on the menu.
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I think that gulp was more out of realization of the fact that Shane was as shameless as he was about the extent of his cold-bloodedness. He knew when he first confronted him that he was tempting fate, but he didn't know that Shane's conscience was completely gone.
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

Great episode but the whole "searching the subdivision" was completely stupid. So 2 people were going to go in to 30-50 houses all SWAT style, putting themselves in completely horrible/impossible situations to look for one little girl? Bull____. NEVER would that ever happen in real life.

Just honk the ____ing horn and yell out the window, then if walkers come after you just drive away.

This.

I'm gonna be real pissed off though if they off Dayle this early in the show.
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I didn't get that at all from that scene. Looks to me like Dale went, gulp, what the hell did I just do?

Nah, he has that wide eyed thing through out, and has that same look every time he gets upset or angry. He never backed up, never backed down - and most importantly, never looked away from Shane's eyes.

Actually, I think what Shane did in that situation was about as stupid as you can get. That sort of threat is what can get you killed, depending on who you make it to. Dale's threat to Shane gives Shane a chance to get out of the situation, without having to kill Dale - Shane's to Dale does not. It just proves to Dale that Shane is completely nuts, and if Dale was a bit more like Shane, he'd find a convienent way to kill him before he gets any worse. Lucky for Shane, that's not who Dale is.

This isn't going into a spoiler tag, since someone already mentioned it in the thread I believe. They said there was a promo for next week that shows Dale and Shane arguing in the woods about the guns, and then shows Shane coming out alone, with the guns. Hmmm. Now we all know how notorious tv promos are for doing what they can to lead us astray, but let's suppose for a minute that it plays out that way. Shane and Dale argue alone in the woods, Shane kills Dale, and leaves him there assuming zombies or animals will get him before anyone finds him. Ah, but this is where what only Rick knows (learned from the whisper at the CDC) comes into play:

Shane doesn't know that everyone who dies comes back a zombie. No reason to believe that, and contrary to what some believe it is a HUGE psychological difference for the people involved. So when Shane kills Dale, he shoots him, maybe in a struggle over the guns, maybe in the back like a coward...and doesn't realize he's going to come walking back into camp on his own power - and Shane is
busted! :D

Yea, it's a long shot for speculation, but I still thought it was an interesting idea.
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I can't believe a pink pony is handing out survival advice. :lol

I ":lol'd." I think he would try to kill them with kindness or try to outwit them with gradeschool humor and if that didn't happen, run and hide under Princess Celestia's wings. :huh

Actually, that last bit was in spoiler tags, as it was a breakdown of leaked plot points for the last two episodes before the break. Last episodes were dead-on, so you just openly posted a spoiler. :lol
 
I was thinking about rick's nonreaction to lori's news. Do u think he sees shanes value to the survivors as too important to remove?

Also im really enjoying the divergeances from the comic story. You can tell that this is a version 2.0 for Kirkman and frankly its better for it. Characters are better in my mind. Although the actors must be commended for that.

As Kevin Smith pointed out, the episode was written by a woman. So Rick's reaction was from a non-male perspective which explains the confusion over Rick's reaction (or lack thereof). :lol

Juat becuz a woman wrote the episode doesnt mean men didnt have a huge part to play in the desicion. The way that episodic tv works is that the WHOLE writing team sit in a room and plan out the whole season and each episode in detail. Then each writer splits off to ctually write the episode he/shes in "charge" of. Then the drafts are reviewed by the whole group again. I think robert smith knows this very well and was juat having a laugh.

I thought ricks reaction Waa actually a reversal of expectations and consistent with his forgiving nature. Furthermore we know from earlier flashbacks that lori was waning in her affections for rick before the zombiepocalypse. So he prob took that into account as well.

This. Understanding and empathy are not uniquely feminine traits and seem to be what sets Rick apart from Shane as characters.

Well I'm not too worried about that one - the potential for Shane to kill Dale is pretty obvious now, and the description of next week's episode already says they 'have it out'. I find the title interesting too "Pretty much dead already". Hmmm.
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I thought Rick's non-reaction to Lori's affair with Shane was just that - a complete non-reaction. I don't know many men who would take that kind of news and justify it FOR Lori. She didn't even have to say anything. Just nod her head and turn the waterworks on.

Yeah, Rick is a forgiving guy, but let him get mad for awhile before going into forgive mode.

The scene just seemed off to me because he was all p!ssed off about the potential abortion, but then lost all his anger for the affair confession.

:lecture:lecture:lecture:exactly:

Plus add to it the fact that both her and Shane, his beloved wife and his best friend since childhood, have essentially been lying to him since he's been with the group. There was plenty to be mad at, or at least frustrated over. Just blowing it all off was poor, and inaccurate character writing.
