I'm not going to spoil anything, and I've already unburdened my complaints about the changes to it.Watched it tonight. I enjoyed it, even if it was cheesy at times but I enjoy the hell out of the Walking Dead so I'm probably dead on demo here. That said, time to start up the non-book reader thread.
The whole press conference with the families/press was beyond bad. However, other than that it was certainly interesting enough to keep watching.I thought it was entertaining. I like that they appear to be explaining the origin of vampires and giving it a more realistic vibe. Agree though that the grim reaper character is a but dumb.
Agreed, it was a solid episode, although I liked the first one as well. That conversation was really good. Definitely a good part of the story line.thought tonight's episode was pretty good, definitely better than the first one. The jailhouse conversation between the old pawn shop guy and Waxy was well done.
Wasn't in the book. He's a main character though, and he doesn't show up for a while, so I guess they wanted to give him something to do in the episode. At least he can act decent.What is with the health inspector guy with the rat in the restaurant?
I really doubt the show will cover it, so I'll just say it. In the book, and apparently in the show, vampires cannot cross moving bodies of water unless assisted by a human. So, they had to outsource it to someoneSo a shadowy conglomerate plans to unleash an unimaginably frightening vampire/Grim Reaper monster on Manhattan, only the entire plan hinges on some tattooed ne'er-do-well agreeing to drive and not screwing it up? This doesn't seem like the kind of thing you just outsource at the last minute.

Just read like the first 200 pages or so of the first book and then give it up.They don't have someone in-house that can do it?I really doubt the show will cover it, so I'll just say it.

Ep 2 is abysmal. I gave it a shot. Maybe i'll check out the book.
Where do you stand on Continuum? It's on the SyFy.By SyFy standards, it's awesome.So, this is pile of ####, no?

It's not saying much but HaCF is my favorite of the new summer shows so far.I know only like 8 people are watching it, but Halt and Catch Fire's a really good show. No vampires or old dudes giving each other the "You think you can defeat me!?!?/I will destroy you" business ad nauseum, but good nonetheless.
Really strong. Thankfully the budget is likely low and they might be able to eke out a second season, because the ratings are pretty low. Not enough vampires, obv.It's not saying much but HaCF is my favorite of the new summer shows so far.I know only like 8 people are watching it, but Halt and Catch Fire's a really good show.

The guy that killed Ben Linus' daughter in Lost?What is with the health inspector guy with the rat in the restaurant?
Well, it seems this show about vampires isn't all that realistic.So many little holes (and some not so little) and some ####ty acting (Goodweather needs to catch a virus) but the story has a chance so I'll stick with it.
9 foot long, 4 foot wide coffin. Couple three guys lay it down like it's nothing. Then they somehow stuff it in a 7 foot long van. Samwise is on the take and lets the guy leave the airport even after what he's seen. Bunch of people dead but we'll let the few survivors go because some whiny lawyer makes a phone call (which connects 1 second after she hit send) and a goth rocker has a gig to get to (but winds up at a club drinking).

Yes, but way better than Falling Skies or Under the Dome.So, this is pile of ####, no?
Also, that same coffin filled with soil only weighs 500 pounds.So many little holes (and some not so little) and some ####ty acting (Goodweather needs to catch a virus) but the story has a chance so I'll stick with it.

But... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6KFSphpYAkAn airport employee gets his head crushed in the same area that a huge coffin was in and it doesnt appear to be a big deal to anyone. Doesnt even stop the four survivors from getting released.
DIHNever seen it.Where do you stand on Continuum? It's on the SyFy.By SyFy standards, it's awesome.So, this is pile of ####, no?
If you like two-dimensional characters, laughably bad "horror" scenes, tons of exposition, and SNES-level dialogue ("Fool, do you think you can defeat me?!?!"), this #### is right up your alley.
That old dude, as far as old dudes go, is pretty badass. And he's yet to even use that snake sword yet.Dickies said:2nd episode was much better than the 1st. The prison discussion was top notch.

Yep. When I heard the plop, I new exactly what happened. We didn't really need to see the Ken doll.Ummmm....wtf just happened in that bathroom....instant sex change?????

Yeah I knew what it was too. Really could have skipped the whole Ken Doll thing. But the episode was named Gone Smooth. Interesting that they havent shown anything of the 4th survivor, the Lawyer that called the Secretary of HHS.stbugs said:Yep. When I heard the plop, I new exactly what happened.

Honestly, I don't know if they will explain it, but why keep the 4 alive? The others appear to be the same thing since the pilot appeared to be the same as the little girl. I guess I can see that maybe they wanted the four alive to assist with the Secretary of HHS, stop the CDC from holding them (lawyer), etc. and also alive to make sure that someone made it. It is possible that they might have decided to cremate the other bodies in a panic about a virus, but they don't seem to be different.Yeah I knew what it was too.
