The Walking Dead - TV Series

[Professor Bear]

I too am wary of getting caught up in 'the hype', especially when I read this:

Bear McCreary (BSG) on music.

Every silver lining must have a cloud, such is the way of things.

I suppose it'll have lots of that annoying shakycam, too.  If you want to look for things that'll put you off, you shall find them, but in the long run optimism serves you better.

[Judge Olde]

With every new issue of the comic, I look forward to the tv show more & more. Bloody hurry up!

4 minutes of footage has been released and it isn't going to help with the wait, as I know I want to watch it now:

Is McCreary generally unliked? I actually thought the BSG music was fantastic, and one of its stand-out features.

[Tiplodocus]

I liked the BSG music. There's a beautiful piece at the end of Season1 i think that I could listen to all day.

But i like andrew lincoln as well.

But not capitals.

Smashing! Looks much better all cleaned up.

When does it hit UK tv?

[zombemybabynow]

certainly got chills down my spine seeing Morgan and Duane in the flesh but, even if it's brilliant, I doubt it'll be as amazing as the comic.

Wondered if they should have shot it in b/w, although it's being speculated that a b/w version may feature as, (an eventual,) dvd extra

[WoD]

wow...no way the wife will watch this with me though!

[Aaron A Aardvark]

I thought I had exceeded zombie saturation level - but this does look good.

I'll wait for the DVD box set, though.

Yeah, that was a bit disturbing, especially knowing what we... know...  I've said too much.

I'll wait for the DVD box set, though.

That Aardvarkian for "I'll torrent the stomm out of it every single week"?

[Hoagy]

Yes. Hush now TB, your jaw needs degreasing.

Which came first then 28 days or The Walking Dead?

Which came first then 28 days or The Walking Dead?

28 came out nov. 2002 and was therefore written before.

wd started 2003.

I've read interviews with kirkman who said that the similarity of the beginning [spoiler]hospital bed scene[/spoiler] was just a coincidence.

[Mikey]

Yup - looking good that is. I'm only up to book 8 at the moment, but others are on the way.

I think it's more that fact that both Kirkman and Garland have read Day of the Triffids, which has the same beginning as both of them.
