That roughly follows the timeline in the comic series. IIRC, the new series is a period piece set in a 1940s LA police squad and Darabont is the director
That is correct
Ummm...not so much. Shane is offed in the comics while they are still at the camp in the woods. I've only read through the first 40 I think, so far, but just double checked - Shane was killed in the 6th comic.

Definitely is interesting though. i was holding on to the idea that Shane would be the Governor because i think it could have set up nicely. Being how there seems to be a lot of support for the character in mainstream, I wonder if the show will have the guts to kill off a loved character. i guess with this though, they don't have much of a choice.

I was stating he is correct about his new show, not the comic timeline

They split season two in half and are now on the second episode of the second half of season two.

Hell yes. Demonoid or eztv. I'm not sure there's any other way to watch the 2nd season right now.

Damn... so peer to peer download is the only way? Hell, I'd BUY the damn first half of season 2 if I could find somewhere to pay for it...EDIT Well then... $2.99/episode on iTunes/Amazon. Not too bad. Likely just going to do that.

Here's my thoughts on the next couple of episodes....
As shown in the previews, Rick and Shane are caught up with a bunch of zombies on their tail. Rick goes dumpster diving and covers himself up with a corpse while Shane runs. Two possibilities the writers could go with here.
1. Shane doesn't escape. And the zombies overtake him.
2. Shane escapes and gets back to the farm. What makes this interesting is if Shane shows back up to camp without Rick. Everyone is going to assume Shane killed Rick like he did Otis. And maybe Laurie or Carl takes Shane out just before Rick makes it back.
What you think?

I don't know. I thought King's Short story was pretty awesome. I think the book and the movie are equally good.'Charlie Frown said:Neither was Shawshank.'packersfan said:Jaws wasn't.'BustedKnuckles said:the book is ALWAYS better than the movie

3. Shane escapes and Rick returns to camp - no one has seen Shane and everyone wonders what happened to him. He shows back up a few episodes later as the Gov.

count me as someone who doesn't think Shane makes a good Gov. Shane just knows too much about these people to torture them. He's too invested. And I don't think he has it him to rape and torture Michonne.

Anyone else think Merle is the GOV? Then when he cuts off Rick's hand it's even more fitting.

that would make sense, and i know everybody thought that before. for some reason i thought they said we might see Merle show up this season, but who knows.my question if they go this route though, is what do you think they do with Shane? he is a popular character, do you think they will take the chance killing him off? i think they can when they start introducing more characters, so it could go that route

http://www.free-tv-video-online.me/internet/the_walking_dead/season_2.htmlI watched the current season of How I Met Your Mother here from home and had no issues. I tried to watch one episode from work and spent the next day removing a nasty virus, which may or may not be related. I've triple-checked my home computer, and have found nothing wrong with it, so I'm not sure that was what caused the issue at work. I just thought I'd put that out there as a warning. Granted, I had Avast running at home when viewing, and a non-updated version of Norton at work at the time, but I never got a warning from Avast while at home either.'[icon] said:

Keep track of the person who uploaded as I found some had videos which loaded much more quickly than others who would stall out constantly.I did this just two weeks ago, watching my first "first airing" of a HIMYM episode this past Monday.

Edited post....
I guess Official News posted on AMC web site, the shows web site, Facebook and other sites is now considered a "Spoiler"
Season 3 information
IMO Spoilers is seeing an episode before it airs and posting information or, as it has been used in this thread, anything from the comic books.
/end
and you are

Michonne also casted:
NICE!
EDIT: Michonne casting denied by actress: NOT Michonne
He's not who I pictured, but he was fantastic in State of Play (the UK mini-series). What's with all the Brits though?

There's a damn comic thread, too. Take this #### to the other thread!

There has been talk about the "Governor" since episode one in this thread.. I haven't read one of the comic books, and haven't read any of the Spoilers but, unless you have skipped 70% of the postings in this thread, you have to know there is a "Governor" that plays a roll in the story.

That 2nd 'spoiler' was actually just the author speculating. Fyi.

Please read the title of this thread before posting the comic talk. Hey, I enjoy reading comic books myself but you won't find me posting in Batman movie threads about how this and that should be done differently.
Homer J Simpson

Yeah, some of us don't read comics and would like to talk about the tv show exclusively.I bailed on this thread early because of all the comic book talk and spoilers/comparisons/etc. Pretty sure I'll be bailing again.
Mile High

So talk about it. Knowing that new cast members will be added/old ones lost sometime in the future isn't spoiling in a show based on zombies.

Kind of my point..
This "spoiler" was posted on AMC's site, on the Walking Dead site, and on The Walking dead Facebook page. Unless you plan on ignoring all news about the Walking Dead show from here until Season 3, you are bound to know there is going to be a "Governor"Now, if you don't want to know who the "Governor" is, or what part he plays in the story I can understand that. But claiming news about the Governor coming is a "spoiler" is wrong IMO. I changed my post to have it as a "Spoiler" post and removed my post about another character, so care on.

Knowing that there's a character named the governor shouldn't ruin much for people.

Spoiler tags please.
BustedKnuckles

well i never even heard the word governor until the last few days...im not as upset as some people but it does kind of ruin any surprises the show may have in store as far as story lines are concerned...may i suggest changing the thread title to walking dead tv show only..no comic book talk or something like that. Mostly what people talk about on here is what happened on the show that was just aired and and maybe some predictions here and there.
