The Walking Dead - TV Series

[Charlie boy]

If they didn't have the guts (or censors wouldn't allow them) to have **** shooting ***** properly, they shouldn't have done it at all. It seemed desperately tacked on to what would have otherwise been a fantastic scene.

I didn't find it tacked on. [spoiler]A twist certainly, but not an unbelievable or unwelcome one. It was still touch and go there whether or not they'd both just put down their weapons, although considering their recent antagonistic history I didn't think that would happen. I didn't figure on the knife though.[/spoiler]

I can't believe it - [spoiler]Dale and Shane both gone! [/spoiler]. I'm really enjoying season 2, didn't see very much of the first one. They've obvioulsy departed quite radically from the plot in the comics, which I think was agood idea, keeps us guessing. Still can't get used to Egg with an Alabama accent though!

i'm waiting to see how david does  the guvnor (phillip blake) i'm reading the novel based on his early days of the outbreak

[Batman's Superior Cousin]

The Finale!
Well that was wonderful, now you can see why they scrimped and saved on SFX/make-up in all previous episodes: [spoiler]The burning barn, the herd ,the chase [/spoiler] and finally someone runs out of fuel!

An interesting bunch left to [spoiler]take over the jail[/spoiler] and Egg Rick on the edge, didn't expect the old farmer to make it, but I suppose they will need his farming knowledge[spoiler] inside the wire[/spoiler], and you know who's first appearance to with walkers attached, if only they were all like this!!

Phew! Thanks Goaty

A fine ending to a fine series. Am I the only viewer who looks at Daryl and Sophia's mum though and thinks "They're definitely going to end up in bed together..." ?

How is it that the characters in Walking Dean don't have a Zombie Plan?  Surely everyone has a Zombie Plan? 

Dig some trenches, guys.  Electrify the fence, have a lookout on duty, build a bunker in the basement. Jeez...

loved the red herring of the helicopter at the start too, thought i might reappear at the crucial moment as a handwavey escape, but no thankfully. That last shot was a classic too.

checked FP for the 101 comic today but no luck, anyone know when that will be in store?

Yeah, this occurred to me during the finale. If everyone kept quite and one person in a car drove off making a lot of noise, surely it would be easy enough to lure the herd away pied-piper style, always keeping ahead, and then double back at speed later; rather than just lots of shooting and screaming.

#101 is out august 14th, i think. At least that's what i have on my calender, i might have read it wrong.

As for the lack of a zombie plan or whatever- it's just part of the rules of the genre, and anyway no matter how well-equipped and trained you are, confronted by scores of stinking rotted corpses who want to eat you, i think you'd shit yourself, panic, and forget every bit of training you may have had.

Besides, these are 'normal people'. It's only comic and movie nerds who have a well-thought-out zombie plan!

#101 is out august 14th, cheers SBT!


Re plan: There's also the cunning use of Ice Cream vans to consider.

I think the point of their lack of planning was that it appeared to be a zombie free zone at the start, a ideal place to settle, no need for a plan, then...
