The "Walking Dead" Thread

[Jethro]

I think it is a decent show but don't you think by now the zombies would be a little more prevalent than they are?
During the "civil unrest" there is the scene where a police sergeant is eating the throat of another police officer then it shifts to a scene of a police line advancing on the civil unresters.
Didn't any of the several officers see this happening? 
I think the first episode blew it in regards to the girl zombie killing the two other guys who  would turn into walkers, who all would in turn, leave the church looking for fresh victims but they just seem to disappear.  It should have been rampant after that.
Remember the guy in Florida on bath salts eating the face off the homeless man and the police had to shoot him?  That made the news about ten minutes after it happened.

 This is all taking place in the span of a day or two. The church walkers were in a crappy neighborhood where murder is common. They just probably went to a nearby park & fed on the homeless & druggies. Not as tasty, but what can you expect from fast food.

I like this show but it is moving too slow. Not sure how long I'll keep up with it.
NOW,ask me about Z Nation on SyFy. Love that show. It has action,drama and some fun dark humor. Perfect balance.

Even episode three? That had a lot of zombie goodness. I'm just glad it's not Resident Evil style crap.

I see they lost another regular on last week's show.  And it looks like they found his replacement in the same episode.

 For the two or three of us watching the show, I thought the finale was pretty good. The series got off to a fairly slow start (weak characters didn't help), but the finale did get things rolling. I like the idea of taking to the sea.

Re FTWD. And in the grand tradition of TWD, they killed off a regular (i.e. core group 2.5 families). (I think we knew the older woman was going to die, so no real surprise there.)

[Mord]

 Yeah, though I kinda liked **** (didn't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet).

I'll vote with the "Fear..." as way too slow-moving.  I can't imagine re-watching any entire episode - sitting still without FAST FORWARD being clicked constantly.  And reducing episodes to about 3-4 minutes of scenes is NOT what I'd consider 'good' for a program's rewatchability. 

Of course, "Walking" is the same way.  These are like soap operas - "You only have to walk the first 15 minutes on Mondays and the last 15 minutes on Fridays to get the whole week...

AMC originally had Walking Dead marathons 24/7.  Now, they've seen that larger numbers are tuning out, so they've wisely trimmed back 'marathons' to a few episodes over prime-time. 

I've wondered if the killing off of characters is a Forced Reduction to interest in marathon viewing ("Why bother this episode?  They all die in 3 more...") and, if so, then TWD has doomed itself.  At least they haven't maimed so many characters like Robert Kirkman's version, but his abysmal artist skills rather forced him to hack up and maim characters and faces simply for recognition purposes.  I suppose the idea of nametags "Hi, My Name Is Bob" wouldn't have worked on his limited frame-size format anyway.

Yeah I like the show too. I don't think the characters are nearly as compelling as TWD, but I think the premise is great.

Premier of season 6 of TWD tonight!!

[marsattacks666]

Watching now. ;  )

[Scatter]

Too tired to watch it tonight............which is partially explained by my growing sense of boredom with the show.

[Mike Scott]

I don't want to hear any "not enough zombies" complaints!  (Holy Crap!!)
