Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I'm wondering if them

Spoiler

leaving Merle(?) behind will come back to bite them in the ass somehow.

I think so. The way I took it:

Spoiler

Standard "Villain/Antagonist" set-up.

Drive/Motive for Revenge: They left him for dead.

Opportunity: The slow-mo shot of the tools (specifically the hacksaw) falling which I'm sure will be Merle's escape.

they'll end up going back and saving him, but whether that will unite him with Rick or create different issues is yet to be seen.

I don't think that's obvious at all - in fact, I'd say they went out of their way this week to tell you they weren't with the scene where

Spoiler

she takes Rick's wedding ring off from around her neck. That pretty much tells me that she's still uncomfortable with it, although in all likelihood her husband has been dead for quite some time.

Had they been involved previous, that scene would make no real sense.

They also went out of their way to make it appear like Shane had a thing for here at the beginning when they (Shane and Rick) were talking in the car, which works much better with his personality - he used the situation (Rick in the hospital with a zombie outbreak) to get what he wanted - Lori. He realized it was his chance to get her then.

Having never read the books, that is exactly how I understood the scene.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

Didn't like the cheating wife either, what a whore, its been like what, less then a month?

IMO now all he has at the end of the road is his son. Kinda cheapened the whole show for me tbh. I hope she gets eaten and its brutal.

I liked the Organ Donor bit however, I couldn't believe what they got away with showing.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

Have we established how much time has passed since he was shot and the apocalypse took place?

not yet.....

If you think about it logically, sex is one of the most important things in the world now. To not be having it would do horrible things to your emotional state. Being able to have it would be a psychological lifeline. Sex gives you the most direct, most clear and most intense experience of the knowledge that life is worth living, and when life is hanging in the balance the way it is in their situation, having that knowledge is everything.

Shane saved her and her son. The odds that her husband is alive are as close to zero as you can get. After looking at the hospital, I can understand how no one in their right mind would attempt to find him. It would have been certain death (as it was for everyone who had been there, except for him, and that's only becuase his door was blocked).

The idea of her not going to Shane would make zero sense.

She doesn't know he's alive but she doesn't know he's dead. She has a son to remind her lifes worth living, if thats not good enough after so little time then I hope she dies because she doesn't deserve to get her husband/family back.

To me, the way they have presented her from the get go, even in Rick's speech about what she says in front of theyre son, is she doesn't care about anyone but herself. I feel more pity for the guy they left on the roof.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I feel like a new thead should be made...keeping it spoiler free from the comic, but allow spoilers from the previous night's episode.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

From this week's episode, I don't think spoilers from the comic are really much of an issue...

Was anyone else annoyed by

Spoiler

how conflicted the black guy was about leaving Merle on the roof? Personally if I were that guy I would have had no problem leaving that piece of ____ up there. I honestly couldn't believe he went back with the intention of setting him free in the first place. A quick glance from the door with a "____ you" look before he went downstairs would have made much more sense to me.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I hope they keep his "fate" intact. That's a powerful ending. I really don't like Shane though in the series nearly as much as I did in the comic. Not that I liked him a lot in the comic, but I could relate to him more in it. In the TV series, he seems like a ****** right away. In the comic, he seemed like he really was doing what he felt like was for the best.

If they keep his ending intact though it has a big payoff for certain characters. Was a moment when reading it I was like "wow, this really is serious ____"

Yeah, same for me. That was the moment I realized that Kirkman wasn't afraid to really shake things up. Hopefully they keep it that way in the show, which it seems like they are.

I was surprised as well.
"I guess we're going to find out if zombies like crackers" wouldve been more like it.

Just as long as I'm getting spoilers from both I'll be happy. I know that the TV series has strayed from the comic book from what I've read but I'd like to know more about the comic as well as what the differences have been so far and what's yet to come from the TV show. This world we're seeing is horrific but I can't stay away from it and that goes to what a great story the comics created and how well they've brought it to us on the TV series. Of course we should still use spoilers tags and I want to know more about the

Spoiler

prison and the characters fates

in detail so if anybody wants to elaborate I'm ready for that.

Although the release doesn't state it, future seasons will be 13 episodes each.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

in a way i like the shorter seasons because it reminds the people making a show that every moment counts.

You're right but if they keep the same people involved with this project going forward we should be able to have the best of both. A focus on making every episode count and giving us 13 quality episodes. There's so many talented people involved and a great body of work to pull from in the existing comic that I'm very optimistic this will be good for a while.

More Episodes = more character development. That's what this show is going to ride on.
