Can't wait to see zombie smashing again! This show is awesome!

[Lachdanan]

Agreed!

[Yooxra]

Tonight

6 minutes

[Yooxra]

Great start to this season

[Gronthor]

Yeah that was quite the unexpected ending! Great show.

[Quintilian]

Unexpected if you haven't read the comics!

Looks like we'll meet Hershel next week.

[Gronthor]

Reading is for foreigners

[Onion]

Reading is for commies and hippies, they said so on the Hitman trailer/sneak peek I saw yesterday.

[Yooxra]

AMC's president Charlie Collier said in a press release "That The Walking Dead is now the most watched drama in the history of basic cable is staggering, just like our zombies."

No surpise there, this show is amazing.

[Gogan]

Hope it doesn't go to their heads like it did to Mad Men. AMC (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/30/arts/television/mad-men-delayed-as-matthew-weiner-and-amc-dispute-contract.html) doesn't seem to know how to handle success.

[Kz]

me too i cant believe they had budget cutbacks on walking dead when its just so amazing.

[Stag]

A reminder - TONIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Yooxra]

Rejoice friends walking dead already renewed for season 3.

http://tv.ign.com/articles/121/1210647p1.html

[Gronthor]

Nice! So glad it is back on. Hope it is more then 6-8 episodes a season as it was season 1.

13 this season

[Yooxra]

I see a new book around the walking dead - rise of the governor. Looks interesting a villain that was dubbed villain of the year a guy that made himself governor of woodbook. Killing anyone that challenges him and making his townfolk fight zombies in a arena, sounds awesome.

Quin must of red this already.

[Blake]

they are splitting this season into 2 parts, so expect a break in a few weeks.

Volume 8, amazing read. Title of the book is called "Made to suffer".

And yes, The Governor was a badass.

[Yooxra]

Poor Otis!

[Gronthor]

Funny thing is my wife said she would have done the exact same thing as Shane.

Note to self keep an eye on her.

I wouldn't doubt most people would in so bad of a situation like that.

[Stag]

at first when he took his shirt off and they showed the marks on his shoulder and his hair missing, i thought he was bit and was turning

[Quintilian]

Otis was a lot more of a jerk in the books.

[Yooxra]

Otis was a lot more of a jerk in the books.

So he deserved to become zombie chow?

[Yooxra]

Episode 4 on tonight. Don't miss it.

A new saying is going around "you got Otis'd bitch". Well actually I just made it up.

Think of it like this, you have a bad raider that you want to get rid of, in this case let's say Tina. You all of a sudden cut the person off and before they realize what happened to them you laugh at them then say "you got Otis'd bitch".

[Onion]

That is a very good example of perfect execution of an Otis.

[Onion]

Pun intended.

[Rottenzombie]

Just watched the latest one.
I love this show

[Kz]

yup great show, to bad on break already :(

[Gogan]

The season continues tomorrow night. Don't forget!

[Yooxra]

The season continues tomorrow night. Don't forget!

Can't wait

[Kz]

yup gonna be a good one.

[Rottenzombie]

Fuck yeah

[Gronthor]

Rick is indeed a bad ass, i underestimated him.

[Gogan]

That was such a great scene in the bar.

[rursusferre]

Yea it was. It shows Hershel just how fucked up the outside world really is. It also showed that Rick is no pussy, despite always trying the safe route.

[Yooxra]

I wonder whats gonna happen if there is a split. I don't want Glen removed from the party.

[Gogan]

I don't think there's going to be a split. Each of the last two episodes has shown Hershel finally coming around to the reality that the rest of the group sees. I think after that bar scene, Hershel is thinking:

"Holy shit, you *are* a badass, Rick. I realize now the world is pretty fucked up, and my family is probably safer with you than without."

When I saw that scene the first thing that poped in my head was "This is the wild wild west".

[Stag]

Rick should just kill Hershel and tell everyone else that he was killed by walkers

[rursusferre]

also asano, I think Hershel might final realize that Rick has been trying to do the right thing (by Hershel's thinking) and that anytime he wanted, he didn't have to. I don't think there is going to be a split either. I just want the black guy and his kid to finally come back. When the fuck is that going to happen.

[Gogan]

I just want the black guy and his kid to finally come back. When the fuck is that going to happen.

This made me laugh. I don't even remember the black guy and his kid on this show. Instead, it immediately brought to mind Michael and Walt from Lost. =P

[Yooxra]

Wtf Asano, the guy with the dead zombie wife. You so forgetful.

[Cruci]

This made me laugh. I don't even remember the black guy and his kid on this show. Instead, it immediately brought to mind Michael and Walt from Lost. =P

One of the best Walking Dead moments was when he had to shoot his wife in the face! Unforgettable!

[rursusferre]

exactly! that shit was awesome.

[Gogan]

Was that from season 1?

[Yooxra]

Was that from season 1?

Ya. It's early.

[Onion]

If you ever watched Jericho, the 'black guy' Rufus is referring to is Robert Hawkins (real name Lennie James), which is why I want him to come back. He does a great job in every role I've seen him in.

Also, when Rick shot Rene from True Blood right in the face, that was awesome.

[Yooxra]

The governor in S3 AMC the walking dead.

The Governor is the best bad guy ever written into comics.....

I would be surprised if they show half of his evil into the TV show.

[Gogan]

Another great ending... I never read the comics, so I didn't see that coming at all. Although in retrospect, I guess the whole episode was setup for it.

P.S. I liked Carl better when he was unconscious and in a coma. I hope the guilt over what happened throws him into unbearable despair and he finally gets himself eaten by a zombie.

[Kz]

agreed with what u said 2nd asano. i thought that zombie would kill someone but not him.

[Yooxra]

I agree 100% i liked Dale and i'm pissed at Carl. There is no room for kids on this show. Zombie chow that little shit. Last two episodes have been great.

[rursusferre]

I thought Shane would get Dale. Oh well. Fucking Carl.

[Yooxra]

I thought Shane would get Dale. Oh well. Fucking Carl.

Yeah. Completely agree with Rursus. Don't you Onion?

I read the graphic novels twice every time, and I did not see that coming.

Dale survives for a LONG time. Like year 6 into the series. So I was expecting him to last a few seasons. Him and Andrea become boyfriend and girlfriend. So I shocked!

In the comic, Dale doesn't even get killed by zombies. Cannibals eat him. So the TV has no connection with the comic at this point.

[Rottenzombie]

Yeah and in the book, Carl kills Shane early on.

[Onion]

Agree with Carl needing to die, also I hope Yoox gets eaten by a giant dildo, kind of like Tremors except with teeth, and without Kevin Bacon to save him.

[rursusferre]

How about a living fleshlight that has teeth.

[Onion]

yeah but fleshlights are so small, kinda like you Rufus

[rursusferre]

you hurt me onion. deep.

[Stag]

onion!

[Onion]

Going deep, that's something you'll never accomplish.

I'm here all week, tip your waitresses.

[Stag]

onion!

[Onion]

Stag!

On another note, I played a game of LoL against Cider the other day, fucking kicked his teeth in.

[Yooxra]

So from the preview last week with Shane having a busted face and saying the prisoner escaped had me thinking that the finale would be closer to the prisoner getting back to his people and the farm being overrun with outlaws.

Another great episode that went in another direction from what it looked like. I wonder how close to the comics that is. So corpses are rising into zombies now without being bit?

[Stag]

the water!

[rursusferre]

Holy fuck. I did not see that coming. I agree with stag. I think maybe everyone is infected now, but the virus doesnt actually kill you, just reanimates you. If you think about it, the zombies kill you first then you come back to life, so it makes sense.

[Gogan]

If that were the case, where did the initial batch of zombies that overran the world come from?

[Gronthor]

I hope they do elaborate on the non bitten dead being reanimated. It did mirror the comic a little with Carl shooting Shane like that, just the time line and the condition of Shane was changed.

From what i hear of the Governor season 3 will be very interesting. I am wondering what they can get away with showing on cable.

[Onion]

My friend spoiled the episode for me but I completely thought he was joking until I watched it myself. Honestly who saw "Rick kills Shane, then Shane turns into a zombie, and Carl shoots Shane" coming?

[rursusferre]

"Rick kills Shane with a knife like a total hard ass" you mean.

[Yooxra]

"Rick kills Shane with a knife like a total hard ass" you mean.

In a grassy field, makes it feel like a samurai showdown.

[Gronthor]

Read some of the comic plot synopsis, and it is true that you don't need to be bitten to turn. Once you die you turn, which means everyone is infected.

[Gogan]

Read some of the comic plot synopsis, and it is true that you don't need to be bitten to turn. Once you die you turn, which means everyone is infected.

That's going to be an amazing and devastating revelation to the characters. I'm almost sad to have it spoiled now. Just an awesome twist. Think of the implications...

Parents who have kids -- or in Laurie's case, are expecting a(nother) child -- now have to face the reality that they will be a mortal threat to their children if/when they die. And in this unpredictable and chaotic world, that could be any time.

Polluted water supply certainly sounds like the most plausible explanation for how the disease spread. Wonder how that happened though.

[Stag]

If Laurie miscarries that baby is gonna eat its way out, then Laurie will kill Carl. Rick wont have the balls to kill Carl and Carl kills Rick. Rick kills Glenn and Maggie and Hershel. Then they introduce Christian Bale and he kills all the zombies

[Gronthor]

Something i have seen repeated multiple times is that the end of season 1 the scientist guy whispers something to rick before they leave. They think it is that, there is no hope, the human race is all infected.

In the comic the they find out about 60 or so issues in, and Rick gathers them and tells them "They (the survivors) are the Walking Dead" which is a really cool plot twist by the author. Also upon learning Rick goes back to find Shane (Whom Carl shot in issue 6) and digs him up and confirms this as Shane is a zombie, thus Rick shoots Shane in the face.

Reading up on the series really enlightens you on the authors take of the human race.

I do like the series on AMC not following the comic per se but gaining inspiration from it as i am not sure even 1/4 of whats in the graphic comic could be on TV.

PS for you Asians there is a character in the comic of a katana wielding bad ass bitch, that has zombies for pets...

[Yooxra]

I enjoyed the season. I like how they leave it off just outside the governor's town(least it looks like that). Ok I haven't read any of the comics, who the hell was the dude with the katana with 2 ppl with no arms on chains with him and wtf is that?

[rursusferre]

Those are her zombie pets

[Gronthor]

Actually i believe that is the prison, not the Governor's town, and the fact that they are trying to be true to the comic and introduce Michonne is damn awesome.

My wife is the biggest anti fantasy, sci-fi thought that scene was cool and wanted to know more about that.

[Yooxra]

Coming back in the fall = win

[Yooxra]

Rick's speech at the end seems like something Nuch or I should of did a couple times when running the guild.

[Yooxra]

Michonne(female)

Shooting on the extended sixteen-episode third season kicks off this May in Atlanta ahead of a debut sometime in October.

Word

[Onion]

Man they sure are cutting it close, another show I watch, Luck on HBO, hasn't even finished the first season and they are filming season 2.

I guess they have to do all of the filming in the summer time, though, for the show.

[Redkulaid]

didnt they can Luck just this week?

[Stag]

Yep, no more Luck

[Gogan]

Just got around to watching the last episode.

You know, after BSG and Lost ended I wasn't sure I'd ever see another television episode that measured up. I damn sure didn't expect to have 2 shows (Game of Thrones and Walking Dead) just a few years later that would prove me wrong.

That last episode as absolutely spectacular. A perfect 10/10 as far as season finales go.

The *only* thing that slightly annoyed me was Laurie's outrage at Rick over killing Shane. Just a couple episodes ago, it really seemed like Laurie was manipulating Rick to get rid of Shane. Remember when Laurie was in the tent with Rick telling him that Shane believed he was Carl's father, etc, etc, and that Rick needed to stop Shane? Maybe it was just bad acting, but it really seemed like she was provoking a confrontation between the Rick and Shane. And when it finally comes, now she's disgusted with Rick? I don't think so.

Rick's speech at the end seems like something Nuch or I should of did a couple times when running the guild.

LOL

That final scene was so great. Rick has been catching so much crap and just about everyone (except maybe Darryl, it turns out) has taken his leadership for granted. Very believable that he'd finally had enough and snap like that. I love it!

So happy we only have to wait about 6 months for next season. AMC really fucked up Mad Men. Glad they didn't make the same mistake with Walking Dead.

[Lachdanan]

Rick's speech at the end seems like something Nuch or I should of did a couple times when running the guild.

LOL, its so funny cause its so true....

[rursusferre]

I totally agree. Lori is a dumb bitch. She basically said kill Shane and the was freaked out that he did. Although, I don't think Rick did a great job of explaining himself. Also, asano, check out breaking bad. Another amc show that's fucking amazing.

[Rottenzombie]

Lori

Yeah when shes sitting there behind him looking all disgusted, I started yelling at her through the tv.

I love this show though. Fucking zombies!

[Onion]

I know Luck's production was halted because PETA flipped out over a horse dying when they weren't even filming or doing anything. I hadn't heard that it was actually cancelled yet, though.

edit: just found this http://www.tv.com/news/hbo-cancels-luck-in-the-wake-of-horse-fatalities-28101/#ixzz1pJl7m5S1

3 horses die and they straight up cancel the series, what a shame.

Back to Walking Dead, the actress that plays Lori, Sarah Wayne Callies, is fucking terrible. She was horrible in Prison Break and is really bad in WD. Also, why does no one ever know where Carl is? That kid needs a damn leash.

[Gronthor]

LOL we just got done watching the whole Prison Break Series via netflix about a month ago and all i could say was how much of a dumb bitch she is in both series.

[Gogan]

Also, why does no one ever know where Carl is? That kid needs a damn leash.

LOL, no kidding.

[Onion]

I saw a better version of this yesterday, but this works too. http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3oeaqq/

[Sly]

Also, asano, check out breaking bad. Another amc show that's fucking amazing.

Walking Dead, Breaking Bad and Dexter are the only shows I make time to watch right now.

[rursusferre]

Literally just started watching breaking bad this last few weeks after hearing so much good stuff. Show is crazy good.

[Gronthor]

Sigh Dexter, wish i had showtime, just have to wait for netflix...

[Onion]

Or discover torrents >.>

[Sly]

Or discover torrents >.> yea who pays for premium channels?

[Onion]

yea who pays for premium channels?

I haven't paid for TV for 2 years <.<

[Sly]

It's nice to have the tv on some random shit sometimes though.
