The Prison storyline has come to define the comic, but can be skipped over entirely. It would be a jarring change for those comic fans, but the situations that happen there are just not suitable for anything other than Saw movies, and even that's pushing it.

They can do it, just do it off camera, which I think would make it even better.
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

They already put Dale's 'optimal' situation either off-screen or out of the picture entirely. There are a lot of ways around the inessential, and if it is essential, then just do it.

I ran out of tpb just as they got to the prison when I read them last year. You guys are making me want to read the rest. (Which I will, after this season ends.)

The guy that got bit on the shoulder was the hispanic father. He hasn't been named, at least that I recall, but he and his wife and kids have been in quite a few scenes.

There was also the brunette and older black guy that I don't recall ever seeing before.

As to the zombies, it does seem like an awful lot of work for Merle to bring them down on the camp, but I gotta agree with the guys on the show and assume he's going to want revenge. Other than his brother, Merle doesn't seem to me to be the kind of guy that is particularly social or cares about his fellow man. He may assume that his brother could get himself out of any problem, or between the pain and any other drugs he's taking (remember when we first met him?) he may just not be sane enough to care.

I don't expect zombies to roam in packs, and I don't think that's an angle the show is going for. If one finds something, others come, but they aren't particularly organized otherwise. For them to wander that far outside the city in a group...seems out of place without some sort of help. Maybe they did see the fire...it was the first time they built it bigger. I doubt they smelled the fish (they've been cooking food all along, unless they ate the squirrels raw).

But yea, logistically it seems like it would be tough for him to do.

I particularly loved what they did with Guillermo in this episode. That's exactly the kind of writing that makes the books great - set up a situation that seems like it's going in one direction, take it in a completely unexpected one. It helps that the actors are all so damn good, making their characters quite believable.

Jim got bit - we just didn't see it. I'm betting that will be key next week. Also, will they show them putting Andrea down?

It was a Hispanic-looking guy that got bit on the shoulder, but it wasn't Morales. They have shown Morales with his wife and kids a couple times - most notably when they all returned with Rick in ep3. I thought the guy that got bit on the shoulder was just some random extra like the brunette and black guy that died.

The zombies were in packs in Atlanta. They were all gathered in that one block when Rick rounded the corner on his horse in ep1.

It would make for good story telling if someone got bit (Jim?). I wonder if they will go this route?

I think you mean Amy. My prediction is Andrea will do it.
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

They're in clusters in town - not packs. Big difference.

They cluster when something draws them all. They don't pack up and move as a group to hunt, however. What I'm saying is that either Merle or something they are doing in camp could make them cluster, but I don't think they wandered in as a group accidentally. That's pack behavior, and I don't think they are going that route on the show.

It's possible the fire drew them...but I don't think it's the cooking.

We're also assuming Merle took the van, because the characters on the show assumed he did...but that doesn't mean he did. Seems most likely, but not necessarily a sure thing.

And Morales was married? Seems like they're picking the wrong guys to go on these scavenger hunts...

The abusive husband in the tent and younger blond sister were pretty slow to react, me, I'd make Barry Allen look like he was molasses going up hill in january.

The husband made sense to me but I agree about the chick, she just kind of sat there and took it.

Yip, when Amy got bit on the neck it was if she'd already given up and didn't even try to move away from the flesh eating zombie ready to make her an all day buffet. I thought it was a fantastic episode though and the final two episodes should really take things up a notch.

Agreed! Amy was pretty slow to react. First to the bite on the arm and then the bite on the neck. Although, she probably knew she was a goner after the first bite anyway, so shock just took over. I am assuming that all the survivors know that anyone dead will rise again. The black man and his son knew about it with the wife/mother in ep1, so if that is true then her reaction of doing nothing makes a little more sense, but it is still not how I think I would react in that situation.

I like how Jim, Morales, Daryl, etc are all hacking away at the zombies and getting covered in blood - especially Jim's face when he says he remembers his dream. I hope that the virus cannot be transmitted through the skin or else a bunch of them are going to start getting a hankering for some human flesh. :rotfl

I only bring this up because Rick made a point in ep2 to tell everyone not to get any zombie blood on their skin. While I don't want them to get bogged down in science and minute details, I hope they eventually can shed some light on either the origin of the virus and/or how it is transmitted (maybe from a survivor from the CDC?). Without spoiling anything, can anyone who has read the comics tell us if they find out anything about the zombie virus? Yes or no will suffice. Thanks.
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

No, they avoided going into what caused the virus, at least through the first half of the comics (which is as far as I made it).

I think they know that being bit by a zombie means you get sick, die and rise again, hence a good reason that once Amy was bit she just went into shock. I'm not sure that they think or believe that anyone that dies, no matter what the cause, will become a zombie. Have we seen any reason to believe that's true yet?

You might want to put a spoiler tag on your reply, especially the part I deleted from your quote. I didn't know that. It's not a big spoiler to me but might be to other people. :dunno
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

How is that question a spoiler? I'm asking - do we have any evidence of that, or do the characters? In your message you said you assumed they thought anyone that died became a zombie ("I am assuming that all the survivors know that anyone dead will rise again") - I'm not sure they assume that or that we should at this point, but I'm not sure if we've seen any evidence one way or the other. As I recall, the conversation Rick had with the dad at the start was about getting bit, dying and coming back.

I edited one of the words though so as to not to sound like I'm implying one way or the other, which I didn't intend to do.

I didn't see anything wrong with your post and I think based off next week's preview that they
do know about people coming back because you hear Merle's brother say "she's a ticking time bomb" which I'm assuming he's talking about Amy and the preview showed him jam a pick through one of the dead's head (I believe it was Ed) as if to prevent him from coming back and I think he was trying to kill the guy who got bit but was still alive when Rick put his gun to his head and said "we don't kill the living".

I guess I misinterpreted what you wrote. Sorry. My bad. Moving on.
 
Re: The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC

Nah, no prob - I edited the one word because I could see how you could interpret that I was saying something I didn't mean to be saying.

BTW, did the preview for the next show say it was going to be on this Sunday? I was just wondering, since a lot of shows don't get new episodes on Thanksgiving weekend.
