Firetone Joined: Feb 26, 2008 Posts: 81 Copenhagen, Denmark	Posted on Oct 01 2012 07:48 AM I just LOVE TWD! From first sight it is really "28 days later" like, really cool and exiting. I think season 2 was a bit like a song i once wrote... 9 min. of the tone "a", and then in the very end - a suddenly change to a "e". Know what I mean?

morphball Joined: Dec 23, 2008 Posts: 3324 Pittsboro, NC	Posted on Oct 12 2012 12:53 PM In preparation, I just finished reading the prison story arc in the graphic novels, so it should be fun to see where the screenwriters take it. (Seeing that The Governor will indeed play a big part in the screenplay, I'm expecting some awesomeness.) — Mike http://www.youtube.com/morphballio Top

Richard Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 1683 Georgia	Posted on Oct 15 2012 07:23 AM I've read the books past this point, but am really looking forward to getting to see the new season. I will have to avoid this thread until I get current. This is the only show that irritates me about not having television service. I'm content to wait for everything else. — The Mystery Men?

Matt22 Joined: Feb 15, 2007 Posts: 2846 Fredericksburg, Virginia	Posted on Oct 15 2012 09:18 AM I dropped cable right after the end of season 1 and haven't had it since. Net-Flix has all of season 2 and that's where I am. Even though I'm a bit behind, it doesn't bother me. Net-Flix streaming for 8 bucks a month is much better than $50 a month for a bunch of channels I never watch. Firetone, I thought the same exact thing on the Season 1 opener: that it was a copy of 28 Days Later. I found out it was much more. Almost like a soap-opera with some twists. Yeah, a lot of it is pretty predictable, but it's good overall. — Matt "tha Kat" Lentz Skippy and the Skipjacks: 2018-2020 Skippyandtheskipjacks.net https://www.facebook.com/skippyandtheskipjacks Otto and the Ottomans: 2014-2015 The Coconauts surf band: 2009-2014 www.theamazingcoconauts.com Group Captain and the Mandrakes 2013 http://www.gcmband.com/ The Surfside IV: 2002-2005, 2008-2009 the Del-Vamps: 1992-1999, 2006-2007 http://www.dblcrown.com/delvamps.html Top

We just finished season 2. It's still an event when the next season is available to us, it's just six months or so behind. We watch all of the cable series this way, Boardwalk Empire, Californication, etc. — http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic http://www.youtube.com/user/crazyacesrock http://www.reverbnation.com/crazyacesmusic Top

We watch all of the cable series this way, Boardwalk Empire, Californication, etc. I have to admit that most of my 'series' watching is done through either Netflix or downloading the episodes the next day through torrents. My schedule rarely allows for me to catch shows during their initial run and I simply am too stingy to spring for a DVR. — THE KBK ... This is the last known signal.

I dunno; I think the real value in a show like this lies in the character development & interaction, and the exploration of individual & group psychology in a hostile survival situation. Sometimes the drama gets a little thick, and some characters will either take unpleasant or at least unexpected turns or are simply terrible people (Lori, we're all looking at you), but I'm finding it compelling viewing in a way few shows have managed to pull off with me. Of course, the nice weekly dose of gorn doesn't hurt either... Top

CrazyAces Joined: Jul 31, 2012 Posts: 4053 Nashville, TN.	Posted on Oct 16 2012 01:16 PM Ah yes, true, but let's not confuse "Drama" with "Horror". A movie or show can certainly have both but I think a lot of old school horror fans prefer the drama to be kept to the scary side of things, not so much the psychological. I really like the show, as does my wife who is way more of a horror/zombie aficionado than I am, and while I like some of the psychological "end of the world" interplay amongst the characters I think the script for these portions of the show could be cut back or scenes a little shorter. Walking Dead is most likely intended as a double meaning, the alive who still "live" and the dead who are out there creating havoc. Me, I like zombies!
