Rick didn't throw the fist punch, there. And that little speech he gave was right out of the comic. |

Yeah, but he egged him on (geddit?)! Also, any time the quality of dialogue drops you can generally attribute it to being from the comics |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
I'd call it a decent season finale. (Just finished watching it now.) It's set things up going into the next season on a fairly solid basis, and it'll be interesting to see how it all pans out with the 'Wolves'. So yeah, a solid hour of telly but not amazing either - however it'll certainly hold my interest going into the next season. |

Really enjoyed it. Lots of little swerves and unexpected turns. Really sets it up for next season too. I assume the Wolves aren't just those two chaps, though. |

Those zombies sure are physically strong though aren't they? ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |
Author: | MaliA [ Tue Mar 31, 2015 9:23 ] |
Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
zombie muscles do not need oxygen to work. They do not produce lactic acid. Also, There is no feedback loop like in humans to say "keep doing this and damage will happen" (epipherine does switch this response off by degrees, interestingly). So, that is like human with the safety switches removed. Also, zombie had prime position after he caught Rick on the hop from behind |
Author: | Hearthly [ Tue Mar 31, 2015 9:45 ] |
Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
So where do the zombies get that sort of physical strength from? They've seen fit to have them deteriorating on the outside as would be expected over the timeline of their existence (as per your earlier posts, although I'm not convinced they've been consistent about that), and yet all of a sudden one of them can pin Rick to the ground like an MMA champion? ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! I say again, it was good telly and I enjoyed it and I'm not cussing it up or anything, but it wasn't ZOMG AMAZING either. |

in my experience of the Underground Dogfighting Pits of West Yorkshire, a 80 lb labrador is pretty determined and a pain to throw off one it lands on you. Fighting g a zombie would be worse. |

Presumably they get their strength from the same completely unexplained thing that allows them to be still walking around despite being dead. |

They're zombies, FFS! Also, the guard on the gate is clearly a religious person, as he asked to speak privately with the priest and seemed to hint that he does not like gay people. As such, and since he doesn't know the priest is a psycho, it wasn't as stupid as it seems to let him close up. And even if you think it was stupid, that just reinforces that the Alexandrians need help as they are naive and keep getting themselves killed in stupid fashion! |

Thought it was OK, I had sort of forgotten that this was the season finale and was left thinking a couple of more episodes would have been nice to finish the season off. Still leaves you wanting more so AMC have done a good job! There is also a prequel show coming soon as well? |

Why does nobody think to get hold of a long range radio set? It would be a pretty essential bit of kit and people across the country would have certainly been using them to contact each other. |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
That's a daft idea, it makes far more sense for two vulnerable individuals to just drive 50 miles to a random location like Daryl and Aaron did, and then vaguely wander around hoping to find someone that isn't a zombie or a horde of zombies. The fact that Alexandria has managed to sort out solar power and running hot water and even a reasonable supply of chocolate is neither here nor there. Fuck radios! |

Did you miss the bit where Alexandria was built as a self-contained Eco town for rich people? Everything apart from the wall was already there. They can hardly take credit for stumbling upon the perfect place to stay! |

SPIN OFF SERIES NOW LIVE. 'Fear The Walking Dead' - S01E01 available from good online retailers. I'll watch it tonight and report back. The Guardian's review of it is fairly positive. For those who don't know, it's set before The Walking Dead, starting in the opening days of the outbreak. Hopefully it's better than what TWD had turned into. |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
I've just watched two episodes of Hannibal back to back and then watched Fear the Walking Dead. Turns out, Hannibal has ruined TV for me because the gory zombies were just not cutting it for me. It was ok for a first episode although there are bound to be a few moments where people will just be bemused at what the characters are doing which is never a good sign for a new programme. Some of the actions and reactions of the characters didn't seem believable (well, as believable as fiction gets in a made up world) to me. And I was missing the more sedate pace of TWD than the high school rock music on display here. Hopefully that will dissipate once people start dying and the producers can be more relaxed and create a decent TV thriller like the main programme than a slock horror/low budget disaster movie which is the direction it appears to be heading. Episode 1: meh. Episode 12 of Hannibal: ZOMFG. |

My wife refuses to watch this, she loves TWD and has said this won't be as good and doesn't understands why they can't make the seasons of that show longer She has a point in some areas I think! |

Episode 1 of FEAR THE WALKING DEAD reportage. I thought it was pretty good, like 6.5/10 stuff maybe. Certainly a reasonable setup episode in that I know who everyone is and what's going on in their lives. A bit too much soap opera gubbins in the middle and I got a feeling that the stuff I really wanted to see (the early stages of the zombie outbreak) were losing out to cheap soap opera routines - but a strong final 15 minutes brought it round. Definitely going to be onto the second episode next week, as the end of episode one only really takes it to 'OK, something is very wrong here' territory. Cast seems decent enough, protagonists alright, script and acting mostly solid. Zombie effects were fine too. Keen to see the next one for sure. |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
Episode 2 of FEAR THE WALKING DEAD is good! Not a massive amount of, y'know, zombies - but it's a fascinating change of pace in the zombie genre to watch the world change from normal to FULL OF ZOMBIES. (Although it isn't FULL OF ZOMBIES yet.) If Episode 3 was available, I'd definitely go straight on and watch another. I think it's a bit less gory than The Walking Dead, I notice that Fear has 'TV 14' notices whereas TWD was 'TV MA', but it's not really doing it any harm so far, but I suspect it means that we won't be seeing quite the full-on gore that TWD liked to dish up. Overall I'm enjoying it. |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
Let's not go nuts. It was below average at best. Certainly better than episode 1 but still not great. It hasn't got the quiet horror of TWD. If it was a film it would be a B-rated zombie film with a bunch of cocks you couldn't care less about. Not only do we get the stereotypical moody teenager but we get two of them. It's all a bit daft and produced for the mass market but you know what hurts the most: it's got the TWD name on it. We know that TWD is popular and found a name for itself not because it was the first zombie TV programme to market but that it did something different to normal telly. The glacial pace, the low lingering shots, the outstanding production. They shoved a bunch of dickheads in there and we still didn't care because it was so well produced. It made a star of Shane. Shane!? So if TWD is a horror movie then FTWD is a straight to DVD movie. It's simply o-k. |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
Opinions innit, for my money TWD has dragged on for too long and there's not very much I find interesting about it anymore. (Yes I'll watch Season Six and I'm sure some of it will be good, but I still think they could have wrapped it up already and told all the stories that needed telling.) FTWD is at least a new perspective on the whole thing, watching how the world goes to shit rather than starting off in a world of shit - and that alone buys it a decent crack of the whip in my book. |

In TWD it's like 'Right, yeah, zombies everywhere, still strong enough to go one-on-one with Rick in a wrestling match despite having been dead for 547 days, I see you have established the set where most of this season will be based for cost purposes, blah.' FTWD is a nice change. |

TWD zombies are getting pretty soft and mushy by now though - it doesn't take that much to squish them into entrails. In FTWD they are still nice and sturdy and take a lot more to kill. Whether that's done as a plot point or just because they aren't going for out and out gore in this show.....? |

Did you not see that zombie in the last episode of Season 5 of TWD? That motherfucker was like a WWE champion, despite having been dead and going 'squishy' (not that squishy!) for 547 days. OK it might not have been dead from the start, but even so. |

I don't know how much zombies weigh (not least because the answer is that they all weigh different amounts) (and are made up), but I once had a stack of soggy cardboard boxes fall on me and it was bloody hard to get off and appeared to weigh a ton. So, the fact of the matter is: 1) Stop it. Stop. It. 2) My wet cardboard story is the closest anyone has ever been trapped by a zombie lying on them. 3) Zombies are made up. |

I'm right up to date on FTWD, Episode Five of Season One, there's only one episode left in the first season. Overall it's good, but certainly not great. Missed opportunities ahoy IMO. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! I'll stick with it into Season Two, and Episode Five was pretty good, but they'll need to do something dramatic to close out Season One IMO. |

The time jump of 9 days? Agree completely. No zombies? Yes there were. 1) Sniper scene 2) School splosions. Bad military: I wasn't happy with that at all. They appear to have gone from zero to fucking mental way, way, waaaay, too soon. |
