I've seen lots of them and this is still my reaction. Don't think I'll ever outgrow that.Indeed they have, I am not grouping those that read graphic novels in there. I'm afraid if they actually see one live and in person they would turn into a blathering idiot covered in drool. Baby steps at first.Some have moved past the looking at pictures part for that as well.What I've taken away from this discussion is there are far too many of you reading comic books. Pretty sure I graduated out of that class around age 7 and moved on to books with no pictures but to each his own. If any of you are wondering what a ###### looks like, let me know, I can PM you a quality link.

And it should have been vampires instead of zombies. They're what's "IT" right now. And instead of a man on a horse it should have been a woman on a Segway. I mean as long as we're playing arm-chair screen writer. :(
Yeah, don't bother trying to improve the show or anything.And Zombies are "IT" right now not vampires.And it should have been vampires instead of zombies. They're what's "IT" right now.

Are you a writer of scripts or literature by profession? Then spare us your thoughts on how this well-received new drama could be improved by your hair-brained suggestions.Yeah, don't bother trying to improve the show or anything.And Zombies are "IT" right now not vampires.And it should have been vampires instead of zombies.

Did I say I was a writer of scripts or literature by profession?And keep your opinion to yourself also, because no one asked for it.Are you a writer of scripts or literature by profession?

Let me revise that a little bit.Anyone who is not a tool care to give their opinion.
I think we can just all agree that this show is the pinnacle in the history of all human performing arts and move on. Squabbling about details is silly. TIA.
I think your ending your thoughts with "What do you think?" is an homage to Sepinwall.
No, the body is dead and decaying so it doesn't need fuel to keep running. Only the brain keeps the zombie "alive".
How does a zombie lift its leg to move? Everything needs energy.goonsquad said:
yeah we talked about this earlier in the thread. Direct TV has so many channels in HD but missing some obvious basic ones like AMC and BBCA that are disappointing.At least the kept the aspect ratio correct (although that was probably AMC's decision and not Direct TV's).
So, you're fine with dead people coming back to 'life', but have a real problem with where they get their energy from?
Do you rail against Star Wars and the physics behind the light saber too?
I think they're actors playing the parts of zombies with lots of makeup and cg (computer graphics).So, you're fine with dead people coming back to 'life', but have a real problem with where they get their energy from?
I can accept that it's an alternate universe with different rules, but if zombies existed, wouldn't they be subject to the same basic principles as other people? That zombie that was missing her legs seemed pretty worn down, wouldn't all other zombies eventually end up like that? Eventually the population is going to greatly surpass available food sources.So, you're fine with dead people coming back to 'life', but have a real problem with where they get their energy from?Do you rail against Star Wars and the physics behind the light saber too?
If you noticed, the half-zombie was always alone whenever we saw here. I think the other zombies shunned her because she was different, so I assumed that her weary demeanor was caused by depression brought on by social isolation. The poor thing could barely even bring herself to make the effort to feast on human flesh. This is just another reminder we need to nurture a society that is kind and welcoming of all people: minorities, gays, the physically disabled, torso-only zombies, etc. The trauma of depression is too cruel to inflict on people who are different from us.
Darn
Technically Star Wars makes no claim that it is an alternate universe. In fact, the movies tell you that these events happened "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away". As far as zombies go, I think it depends. If we're dealing with supernatural powers....there doesn't really have to deal with basic principles. IF its something more natural (like in World War Z where zombies....particularly those in tropical climates began breaking down)....then they probably should adhere to real world physics.I can accept that it's an alternate universe with different rules, but if zombies existed, wouldn't they be subject to the same basic principles as other people?

lol @ your 2 Victories over the Beasts of Northrend (Trial of the Crusader 25 player) you're still on last year's content?? no TOGC??? how come you're not on ICC and RS yet?? noob.
The Walking Dead zombies don't seem supernatural, given that they can be killed with a bullet to the head.
Making the assumption that we are focusing on Romero-style zombies (as in TWD), not voodoo re-animation or 28-Days Later "Rage" (fast) zombies, the basic premise is that the undead zombie condition is the result of some sort of biological agent (virus) that infects and kills the host organism while leaving, or taking control of, only the brain's most basic and primal functions. The zombie body is "dead"; the only way to "kill" a zombie is by destroying the brain, catastrophic wounds to the body only slow them down. Their bodies are also clearly decomposing, although it is often presumed that the virus slows decomposition. Zombies do not "eat" humans for sustenance as their digestive systems are non-function and non-vital. The presumption would be that the virus slowly consumes the host body for fuel to provide limited amounts of energy for movement. This would be supported by their slow movements and shambling style of walking. Even if the host body is structurally capable of running, a Romero zombie will always be slow moving from the mooment of re-animation. So the impulse to attack humans would likely be driven by the virus in an attempt to spread (reproduce) itself before the host is fully consumed.ETA:I can accept that it's an alternate universe with different rules, but if zombies existed, wouldn't they be subject to the same basic principles as other people?

Actually I have no idea what that part of my sig means. I don't play WoW. I stole it from a rather notorious former poster who had it in his.lol @ your 2 Victories over the Beasts of Northrend (Trial of the Crusader 25 player) you're still on last year's content?? no TOGC??? how come you're not on ICC and RS yet?? noob.
ETA: i definitely enjoyed the first episode - i've never read the graphic novel but felt they did a good job with the basic intro of the protagonist and backround of whats happening. i think it can be quite a difficult task with a zombie flick...

To be fair the first episode hadn't aired for the first two pages.
Gotta burst my ####### bubble don't you? #####
DTV. I have Dish and watched it in glorious HD. It is still amazing that new shows aren't all in HD everywhere. I can't think of any new show recently that hasn't been in HD. Dish is pretty good about having all of the key networks in HD.but is it DTV or AMC
Strong second episode.Good story and they continue to personalize the zombies which I am a fan of.
I agree. I thought they were going to try and have Rick and his wife meet for the season finale, but it looks like it won't be that. The series is moving fast.and the best thing i love about it is when i take my dogs out after the show and i hear something outside and I instantly think there are some zombies outside.
