Yeah seriously. The series is fucking awesome! I have a hunch that either shane or otis don't make it back to the farmhouse. Anyone else get that feeling?
I feel like if one of them dies that it will be Otis. There will be a lot of drama and thus story content to be had with Lori's affair with Shane.

Yeah I get the feeling Otis is done for, as he's always struggling to keep up. It would cause a bunch of drama back in the house IMO. I wonder if the affair is going to come up this season or next. If it's this season, I bet you my left nut it's going to be the last episode as a cliffhanger.

It's on Netflix and it's only 6 episodes ... I'd suggest just watching it over the course of a couple of days.

Or if you're feeling impatient: http://www.amctv.com/shows/the-walking-dead/episodes/season-1/days-gone-bye

Although I seriously recommend just watching it. It's very, very worth it.

Dunno, Shane is already past his expiration date. He should ave died in the first season. I think the show might use this zombie siege situation as a way to kill Shane without making poor Karl shoot his ass.

I love some of the suspense scenes - like the heard of zombies in the first episode of the 2nd season - but they've really dropped the ball on character development. They need Wire quality characters so I actually care if they are about to be attacked. So I've found it to be a frustrating show to watch - so much potential, but hasn't really clicked beyond having some good zombie suspense scenes.

I agree they should have left that out. I doubt he will become a gunslinger. Not sure how long the show will last with how this season has been.

Something I'm concerned about is the possibility of a romantic sub-plot for Glenn. I don't know what it is, but I don't feel like romance has much place in a zombie show. Also I want them to give him more action like he had in season 1. He hardly had a line the first couple of episodes.

He talked about the deer... HE TALKED ABOUT THE DEER!

Yeah, terrible.

On the bright side, really great scenes with the guy in the tree and the whole twist was great and dramatic... made the season more interesting to me. Hard or even "bad" choices by more or less good people in desperate times = drama... children in danger = lazy/bad writing. I just hope that they don't make that character "evil" or "crazy" but just desperate and willing to go to the extreme or be more selfish than others to survive - that would be an interesting thing to watch.

I wish they'd just hire-up all the writers from "Lost" and say, here you go, take over: no expectations from fans that the story will conclude with some grand metaphysical answer for all life, so just do what you really wanted to do with Lost and create good character-driven genre fiction.

I agree, it was a great scene. If Shane turns evil then I will probably ditch the show.

When the kid(don't even remember his name so he might as well be killed off) was shot, my only thought was wtf. It just didn't make any sense to me. Also, if I had a young child with me I would NEVER let them approach a deer like that. They aren't tame and might even attack the kid. I feel like it's common sense to anyone.

THEN I could understand the point of all the "why go on" talk - I mean, that would be pretty demoralizing to be reminded like that, that even without zombification, nature can be a harsh and cruel place.

Maybe they had more of this last season, I can't remember, but I think they also need more happy-time on the show. They need to win some things and have good things happen - most Zombie movies that are any good at least flirt for a second with the idea that being some of the last people alive can have strange beneficial side-effects like being able to live anywhere and take anything. Who from a capitalist wouldn't be a little excited about suddenly having everything for the taking.

So far I'm thinking S2 is better than S1. After the pilot episode, Season 1 just went downhill cause of all the different writers, whereas season 2 at least has some degree of consistency and overall has less-contrived scenarios imo. I guess they now have a writing team, or writers at least have more communication and discussion with each other than previously on where the plot is going and how best to adapt the comic to TV.

I really hope that the girl dies (the blonde suicidal one) cause she's such a fucking awful actress. Also the old woman who never stops crying, she really needs to go, as does the kid who got shot. It was a shame that Shane shot Otis, I think he was turning out to be a pretty good character, they could have taken him with them (fuck the comic, I hear it's different in so many other ways anyway).

I can see you point now, but I would like to now who is the "wise old man" in Walking dead.

One of the problem that I have with falling skies is that the aliens don;t act like a military force, in fact they act like the people who they are fight, only with better weapons. They seem to have no military units and will sent any number of mechs on mission with no support. Also there airforce does not understand the ideal of close airsupport. They also seem to use odd tactic that they only use in one ep. Like the child zombie army with weapons, then never use them again.

How is the old man in the motor home the wise old man? The only thing he has going for him is that he is old. He may have tools, but it has show that he is not the only one who can fix cars.

I love the show so far, but that last episode had a severe case of the stupids.

The whole thing with lowering Glenn down the well? Completely ridiculous. For one thing, the well is contaminated. Even if it was a regular non-zombie corpse that was sitting down there for a few weeks it would be unusable. But then lowering a person down as bait? Really? Come on, you're on a farm. Use a chicken or catch a rabbit or something. The scene was full of great visuals, dramatic tension and all that, but it was completely contrived and pointless.

Same thing with the whole burning question of whether they can stay at this idyllic remote farm. Yeah, how about driving down the road a couple miles to the next idyllic remote farmstead? It's a contrived dilemma.

Comrade J

9th November 2011, 23:11

Worst scene in the episode (this week's "HE TALKED ABOUT THE DEER!" equivalent) was when Daryl came back from looking for the kid and gave that flower to relentlessly-crying-old-woman with that nauseating story about how that flower was for the girl. Pure cringefest.

And ffs I hope they write out crying woman, whatever her name is, she's a shit character, has no depth, use or purpose. At least let a zombie bite her and make her last moments in the show entertaining, maybe it will be something of a redemption for two series of drivel and bad acting. Also, how long they gonna drag out this storyline of looking for the kid? It's her own fault she went missing, she shoulda listened to Rick.

Lastly, when the fuck is T-Dog gonna have a storyline? Damn I wish I wrote for this show. My first move would be to burn the shitty comic book and take the story somewhere interesting.

They sealed off the well in the end, why not pop the deadman and do it from the beginning.

This season has been pretty good so far, they need to end the lost girl storyline though, its stale. I actually liked he last episodes because it gave some much needed focus on Glenn and Daryl (like the two best characters) and also hinted towards the end of the whole missing girl story line. I don't think Shane is evil, he just made a really selfish and dick move, which is both repulsive but understandable. I also liked how he shaved his head because of the hair Otis tore out rather than the standard 'I'm crazy so I'll shave my head cause that's what crazy people do." Also, its gonna come out that he killed Otis, or it should, because his story doesn't match up (said they were down to pistols and Otis covered him, yet he has both pistols still). Not that it will matter as the farmers have a secert of their own and they'll be moving on to the prison soon. Also excited to see what havoc Merle will reek.

^ Me too, why didn't Daryl tell anyone he found signs of life in the house? Surely if you gave that much of a shit about finding her you'd let people know and scour the area around it? Or leave a note for her? Perhaps that will happen next week. Or maybe she'll just turn up dead and crying-woman will kill herself. One can only hope.

I haven't read the comics so this isn't a spoiler, but I'm guessing the vet has a barn full of zombies he is testing on, trying to find a cure? Maybe it's his close family members who have become zombies? I'm not asking for anyone to tell me if I'm right, just speculating.

Comrade J

15th November 2011, 18:11

Last episode was mighty dull, probably the most boring so far imo. The only redeeming feature was that tensions seem to be at breaking point now, so at least next week might prove interesting. Also, the contents of the barn... hardly a surprise seeing as comic book people had already ruined it ITT with "there is a secret in the barn" - doesn't take a genius to figure out what it was gonna be. Still, even though it was hardly a surprise, at least next week it might be more exciting. I'm starting to dislike the vet more and more, maybe Daryl or Shane will kill him soonish.

And FFS FIND THE FUCKING KID ALREADY! If they don't find that fuckin kid soon I'm gonna go and look myself.

I dunno, i think the flashback was more about the shane and lori relationship rather than the bombing of the city, which is really dissapointing because it would be nice to see scenes of battle which have been evident throughout the first season.

Please god end the lost girl plot, its terrible and boring and i hope shes a zombie. Realisticly (lol) a 12 year old girl with no food or protection is going to die plain and simple. I think at least one of the children should die and make one of their parents go crazy and do something crazy like open the barn while they have a picnic or something...

And Dale you say? More like Stale mirite? I dunno, i get the feeling hes going to die protecting andrea but i REALLY want them to hurry up and do it! Mabey shes looking through the sniper scope and zombies start to eat him and although hes miles (exageration) away he mouths the words "Do it" and she blows his brains out?

Get rid of T-dog, hes whole role in this has been on and off interesting. Get him to try convince neautral people like glenn or daryl to leave but they both want to stay and he takes the minivan and fucks off.

Last thing ill say...End the fucking pregnancy story, give her a knife and let her abort it back alley style (when i saw the knife in that episode i thought thats what she was going to do anyway!), not interesting to watch soap opera story mechanics in a zombie apocolypse series.

The episode I saw yesterday showed this conflict among the survivors between bleeding-heart liberals and hard-as-flint realists. I thought that episode was really engaging. I have to admit that I haven't watched a full episode in weeks, but what I saw yesterday was very good IMO, in that what was happening on the screen grabbed and held one's attention. (Of course, my definition of "good" TV was probably formed when I was a kid in the fifties. Other people may not have liked that episode.)

You see I get that there has to be some character development and drama, after all it is a post apocalyptic world and tensions are going to be high ( I personally side with shane's decision in regards to the barn ) But I didn't begin watching this series because it was dramatic. It had fucking zombies. That was what made it different. Zombies. Include metric fuck tons of zombies in the damn story, and you've got a good series. After all there are what? 7 billion people on earth? 300 million in the US? 30 something million in the south no? Where are the fucking zombies?! There should be hordes of them.

The biggest problem I have with this show so far, is that it's too short and because it's so short, the development of characters and relationships, was horribly paced. I mean, the first season was just 6 episodes, and I hardly knew anyone's name, except for Rick and Shane since they were the most said by name, and the relationships between the group members was horribly explained. I can't even remember Rick's wife's name or son's name, or really anyone's name who isn't either Rick or Shane. I think this show is really just for those who've actually read the comics, to give them a bit of live-action to their comics, and keep up with it via the comics, because I was left in the dark for most of the time to why or who these people were.

Thank you american members for telling me what will happen.:mad:

If the country you live in is behind on episodes, then don't read this thread...? I'm from the UK and live in mainland Europe, and I just torrent them on a monday and then come in this thread. I thought everyone did that. People actually wait for it to be on TV?! :confused:

Anyway, the last episode was the only decent one for a long time, and I think much of that is owed to the fact that something actually fucking happened. Was glad to see they have finally 'found' the kid, although that should have happened 3 episodes ago really. Really, the last few episodes could have been condensed so that they discovered the barn a lot earlier, and we coulda moved on with something else by now. The lack of action could be forgiven if there was at least some decent, realistic character development, but even that was pathetic and inane. It's about time T-Dogg was given a real part rather than being pretty much just a recurring extra. I did like how Shane opened the barn to kill all the walkers, that was the only option really, although the old guy who owns the place didn't seem to do much to stop him.

And if anyone has read this and is planning on getting all high and mighty about spoilers, then you shouldn't be reading the fucking thread. The only possible spoilers that should be in tags are comic book ones.
