You just reminded me that I saw this last week. Remind me again who it is that thinks Katee Sackhoff is sexy? I'll post the link as I'm not sure if some people might find a shot of three actresses in bikinis NSFW http://blog.photos2view.com/2009/01/15/ ... bikini.htm That'd be me. I will be clicking on that link as soon as I get home. Hummana hummana. |

Oh, I don't doubt that, but in that photo she's sat with Tricia Helfer and Grace Park. There is no competition IMO |

She was sat next to Jolene Blalock at the time, which she should have come off worse after watching the respective shows. Yet Sackhoff was much much more attractive in person... |

I liked Katee more in Bionic Woman where she was a crazy psychopath. The only thing that impressed me with this show was the production quality. The storyline and scenario are as tired as a very tired thing. Seen one Zombie/series film you've seen them all. |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
I thought Episode 2 was pretty solid all around, some really tense moments. You have to suspend disbelief with zombie fare and as long as things remain fairly consistent within the world I don't have a problem with what happens. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! Definitely panning out to be a really good series, and Series 2 has already been commissioned. I prefer it to most of the utter fucking dross that passes for mainstream US film fare these days. |

I don't think the Zombie storyline is worn out, if anything it's the "generic survivor story" which lets it down. The politics and group dynamics of the people in the camp is the focus and it's all very predictable. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! I felt the the zombie stuff was a plot device as much as anything, in episode 2. That said, it's still watchable and enjoyable. |

Watched episode two last night. I am easily pleased with television I think. I don't mind if something is signposted as long as there is still tension, or suspense, or just enjoyment from watching it. I'm sure if I'd read all the comics I would still watch this despite knowing what was going to happen. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |

Interesting how far they are diverging from the comics - we already have, what, half a dozen more surviviors I think? Given how hard it is to develop characters in limited screen time I do wonder how many of them are going to make it out of series one! |

That may well be exactly the reason there are extras - traditional zombie fare requires a fairly high body count, and the protagonist death rate in the WD comics probably isn't high enough for the TV's target demographic.

I'd definitely recommend the comics. 78 issues in and The Walking Dead is still the best comic series out there IMO. I recently read an interview with Robert Kirkman that suggested that, at the very least, the survivors and casualties will be different in the TV series to provide some surprise for those who are up-to-date with the comics and Episode 2 did deviate quite a bit from the comics. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! One of the key elements to The Walking Dead comics is that Kirkman has never had a problem with killing off his characters. It's certainly not the typical Star Trek redshirt style of picking off the people in the background while the main characters always live to fight another day. |

Episode 3 was properly excellent BTW. I'm really enjoying the TV series so far and it's sufficiently different so far from the comics that it's no problem enjoying both separate of each other. Edit: stupid auto-correct on my iPad. |

Got Episode 3 lined up for tonight after the usual Saturday night Bad Company 2 blastathon. For things such as this (The Walking Dead, that is), an Easynews account is the way to go. I never fuck about with P2P stuff to be quite honest, $10 per month to Easynews seems like a decent deal for the convenience and awesome search facility and guaranteed download speeds and being able to do it all in a web browser. I'll buy the DVD boxset as soon as it's available so my conscience is clear. |

You should look at the Sickbeard/Sabnzbd+ stuff - automates the whole thing, effectively it's 'series record' for newsgroups. There's a thread on it somewhere. |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
Didn't see Ep03 last night after all, but just watched it now, another cracker - in some ways I wish I'd have waited until the DVD boxset was out 'cause I don't want to wait another week to find out what happens next. The zombies are becoming increasingly secondary to the story of the human condition, which in many ways is true to the origins of zombie tales in the first place, and certainly Romero's films - so it suits me fine. (But the presence of the zombies is consistent, gruesome, and always well handled.) It's all a bit 'obvious' in some regards, and you can very well see what's coming a lot of the time, although I can't deny ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! Roll on Ep04. |

Just sign up at Easynews and use the global search here: http://members.easynews.com/global4/search.html Search for: Code: the walking dead s01e01 (Change the e01 bit to e02 or e03 depending on the episode you want.) You'll get a load of results, click on 'ParViewer' next to a segment of a likely looking description, then click the auto-unrar and zip it into your download manager, hey ho, one DIVX ready to watch once it's downloaded, job done.
