    well he should have fired them!

    And yeah the technical dept. was not all to speed either, i meen when they said an explosion just under a nuclear blast i was expecting for the trucks to at least tumble around a bit!

    ............

    My friend has lent me the 1st continum(?),Wow. That was good! Though things clearly fall apart after daddy comes back to camp i can understand the 'human' aspect of surviving the gouls(in the GN, i like the constant reminder of paternal love/protection)but really i just want to hear about them trying to find food, a safe place to be, (and avoiding the crazy people). But im pritty sure if it was that simple the series would have ended after episode 6, theres always the NEXT crisis...

    anyhow, i give the season ending a 4/10, 2 for giving some history, and only 2 for the acting. I am still looking forward to next season.

    kinda spoiler: Perhaps the guys brother(handless guy), is in the prison as one of the inmates like in the book

    Im going to assume that pc has taken ahold and carl won't be getting a gun.

    So what's your predictions for season 2? I'm seeing them going back to the camp and getting the plot on track.

    Maybe it'll be Lori who gets to kill Shane for attempting to rape her, or even better...Rick if he ever finds out!

    They probably don't know how to operate an APC/tank. Also, they'd guzzle up whatever fuel they had access to pretty quickly. What they were driving was probably the best option based on resources.

    Guns would be a better idea, but then maybe the army guys already used up their ammo when they were swarmed and overpowered.

    The last one was all enviormental awareness, with Sgt. Zim always mentioning how stupid it is to use fossil fuels..

    ^ Different actor

    For those that don't mind to watch online: http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/ind...ic=241514&st=0

    Had it folllowed the book more, I think most would still be disappointed. Zombies are the catalyst but never the main focus, you take a lot away here when its so heavily geared towards that. I think the WWZ movie would actually rely on that, since the stories are a little more simple than what Kirkman is trying to do. Its hard to explain (Like with his Invincible series, which I am hooked on and still don't know why) The show suffers a bit from some rough acting. I never cared about characters in a book in this genre as much as with TWD. Even the ones I hated.

    Rick was always a reluctant leader (without spoiling anything) and ended up walking a fine line with his own morals in a way that you cared about lingering effects. The latest episode touched off a little more on Shane & Lori dynamic, which was an afterthought in the comic since [spoiler: Shane gets ended pretty fast by little grimes] that little aspect changes things enough to be noticeable. Its not really about those that read the series and those that don't, it messes with the way things unfold and what made Kirkman's structure work in the big picture.

    True. But if you don't see fit infantry lugging around 100lbs M2's, why would a bunch of starved civilians who need to keep moving from the swarms?

    There's also the noise factor for weapons with larger caliber and/or fully automatic fire. Something that big will attract alot of walkers.

    M4s, M16s, M14s, pistols, etc would be a whole other matter though. Depending on the ammo situation.

    Could be, but that would be too easy... the good old "you rape me you die"/"you betrayed me, your best friend, you die"...

    I guess I was expecting too much from this show, but in the end I am rather disappointed.

    I'll watch it because it's a zombie tv show.

    Yep it is about Zombies, sort of like the book, "where in is Waldo", where are the Zombies, it is as PETZ has threaten the writers, (People for the ethical treatment of zombies).

    Maybe they misplaced the Zombies and had to work around that.

    I'm rather dissapointed, the whole episode you just have to wait untill a zombie shows up, and in the meantime, you just have to listen to borring conversations, that lead nowhere, like last episode, we saw 2 walkers in the last two seconds, the whole other episode was about his ugly wife, and the blond hysterical girl whining, the story is good, the actors ruin it, you actually start wishing they will suffer a painfull death

    Good episode. The talking computer and the explosion at the end were a little cheesy, but all in all not bad.

    I'm liking the show for the most part. Some of the acting and dialogue is not the best but oh well.

    I think anyone expecting a full on zombie assault all the time is going to be disappointed. The TWD comic is mostly about the human drama and it looks like the shows following suit

    Besides, not having zombies all the time makes it that much more effective and surprising when they do show up, like during the cook-out a couple of episodes back.

    I like the series so far. It more about people and their reactions to a really difficult situation. Zombies are only part of the picture.
    The story focuses on this small group, so you don't have much of a picture about what is happening elsewhere.
    I have not read the graphic novels so I don't know how closely it tracks.
    I am looking forward to the next season.
    Question - how long can the Zombies survive without eating? It would seem at some point many would cease to function due to lack of food
