The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC ( Comic and Un-aired Spoilers unwelcome!)

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I don't expect that I'm going to like Lori on the show any more than I did in the comics based on what we saw in the clip for this week. My problem with her isn't that she's sleeping with Shane or that she left Rick at the hospital - I get that..

Whats kinda odd or interesting is that you never see Lori visiting the hospital, yet we see Shane? Poor Rick only got one small bouquet of flowers too. Guess he wasn't that great of a guy

I must say, this show is now high up there with Law and Order SVU (my favorite show) I just love it! Now that episode 3 is up and Frank didn't direct, will it have the same intensity as the first 2? Thats what i'm looking out for.

I'm still betting Rick gives Shane a Fak'n Beat'n in the first 30-35 mins.

What I now call "that rape show" after god knows how many episodes still rocks

I would be stoked to see a 1/6 Stabler and Benson.

Bro you have no idea how bad i'd love the entire team in 1/6 scale. I have thought about starting a commission but there doesn't seem to be much love for SVU here.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

beyond all the obvious delights i mentioned above, the thing that i like most about "the walking dead" is the little human moments of emotion...

- the father in ep1 who could not bring himself to shoot his zombified wife, and then broke down in tears. i found it really poignant.
- rick returning to the bicycle girl zombie and saying "i'm sorry this happened to you" before putting her out of her misery.
- rick stopping himself from chopping up the "guts" zombie, then going thru his wallet to first find out who this person was (his name, his personal details, etc).

to me, it's stuff like that which sets the show apart from the standard schlocky horror fare with characters that are just zombie food. here, you actually care about the characters. the fact that there's been so much debate over the lori/shane/rick issue is proof that the filmmakers have succeeded in giving the characters depth and complexity. their act of "betrayal" is more cutting because we like rick. personally, i didn't like it when lori and shane got together, but i'll keep watching to see what develops before i make up my mind about them...

I agree. Those are really nice touches that I hope stay throughout the show. I was really felling sympathy for some of those zombies.

Well you can count me in, but yea there isn't much SVU buzz around these parts

I love that show.

I would also love to bang the hell out of Olivia Benson!

Yes, slap @ some good, intelligent discussion around these boards for once.

Intelligent conversation is great. But It just seems like the same points have been made over and over again, round and round and round...

And much of the speculation will be proven or disproven in the show. And motives will probably be explained to some extant as well.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I think that when we finally see Rick reunited with Lori we'll find out that Shane lied to her about Rick being dead so he could move in on her. I think I saw this after e2 but i did see a scene where

Spoiler

Lori is telling Shane that he is to have no involvement with her family going forward or something along those lines. She was very firm about it and he seemed a bit ticked.

I saw that also.

Spoiler

Shane getting kicked to the curb...and hopefully eaten soon!

There's talk that they're going to make a couple out of the main characters on SVU. Kiss of death IMO.

Oh you don't prefer the countless: "It's awesome; so rad; blah, blah" posts?!

I'm loving this series, so far. Looking forward to where it goes.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I always feel the word whore gets thrown around a bit much by people these days.

Here you have a woman who for all she knows has lost a husband, is trying to live in a world where most everyone wants to eat her brains, may have possibly been saved, along with her son, by a man that she's known for a long time and probably just looking for a bit of comfort or normalcy. I have no idea what I would be doing in a situation like that. I think calling her a whore is a bit unfair.

Yeah people seriously need to stop calling that slut a "whore". It's mean.

Excellent points, might as well close the thread since any speculation will be proven or disproven in the show. No need for a discussion thread anymore.

Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

I think 300 posts discussing the sluttiness of Lori is a bit overkill.

It's getting a bit old, hopefully tomorrow's ep brings us something else to talk about.

While we are at it we might as well close down this forum too.
