Rick was being properly heroic. Not as much as Mrs Rambo, though. Also, kudos for not lighting a fire with bullets (which wouldn't work). |

It was a cracking episode and broke previous viewing records for a cable show in the US something around 17.6 million viewers. Fox are by all accounts releasing the showing everywhere at the same time to reduce piracy. Couldn't beat the most downloaded episode record though that's still held by game of thrones |

I recently starting watching this again from the start of Season 1, as I noticed that it's all on Netflix USA. I did watch Season 1 back when it was brand new (via Usenet 'acquiring') and really enjoyed it, but never bothered with Season 2 because of the bust-up AMC had with Darabont and slashing the budget and what have you. However, since I've been a bit adrift for telly after the magnificence of Breaking Bad effectively knackered every other TV series in the world by making them look totally crap, I decided to watch The Walking Dead but start again from the beginning of Season 1, which I just finished last night. And yes, it's really good innit! I had actually forgotten just how good it is, so I'll make a start on Season 2 tonight, although I hope the quality is maintained. I did read worrying reports back at the time that AMC had given out diktats that they wanted more indoor scenes, more scenes that just involved people talking to each other, and crap like that, because that is cheap to make, and then less outdoor scenes, and less zombies, because that shit is expensive! Then again, Breaking Bad was often just people talking to each other, although I'm not sure that The Walking Dead has the acting or writing talent to pull that off, or indeed characters that are interesting enough to make it work, although we shall see. |

The characters get more interesting and involved as the series go on. The only downside to it is that there's now a pretty large cast and I don't actively want any of them to die! Series 2 is a slow burn, but there's a good payoff, and Series 4 was spectacular. |

Post subject: | Re: The Walking Dead |
Three episodes into Season 2 and I'm really liking it, if anything the slowing of pace is a good thing as there are lots of flashbacks which are fleshing out the characters and helping me to understand where they came from, and also they're getting more exposition time on screen in the present, which is making them more interesting and giving me more of a connection to them. The zombie stuff when it comes is still top-notch so I'm not feeling short-changed in that regard either. Finally, something I can watch and not just be depressed about how good Breaking Bad was and give up in despair |

I'm feeling strangely inclined to invest in a Hyundai, seems like it'd be a solid choice come the zombie apocalypse. And it's like, the camera pans back for NO REASON AT ALL except to get the Hyundai in shot. Still, the money pays for more zombies I guess. Attachment: hoondy.JPG

Grim... wrote: Subtitles? Yeah I watch everything with subtitles where possible, I find it easier to process the dialogue that way when there's loads of noisy stuff going on, the other tracks are just so LOOOOUUUDD on modern productions, and I want to be able to tell what everyone's saying properly. Plus, sometimes there's dialogue that you genuinely just wouldn't be able to make out at all without the subs. I will watch stuff without subs if that's how it's presented, but if the choice is there, always with subs. |

Finished Season 2 last night, truly awesome stuff. It's not Breaking Bad good, but it's not a million miles off either. By all accounts the first half of Season 2 is reckoned to be about as crappy and plodding as it ever gets, and TBH I found it entirely watchable and if anything really gave the characters time to breathe and develop, in fact my only criticism of Season 1 would have been the lack of time we spent with each of the main characters. Onto Season 3 tonight, and I'm really looking forward to it. THINGS I DIDN'T SEE COMING: ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! These are small points though, overall I'm loving it to pieces. PIECES OF ZOMBIE FLESH. |

Whose to say they didn't eat his legs before he'd turned? It can take up to 48 hours or so. |

Saturnalian wrote: Whose to say they didn't eat his legs before he'd turned? It can take up to 48 hours or so. Hmmm yes I suppose so, it was just something Daryl said at the time which led me to believe he was explicitly stating that walkers were feeding on other walkers. Watched another two episodes this evening and just finished 'Killer Within' (S3E04), and for the first time since I started on The Walking Dead it's achieved what Breaking Bad did quite regularly, and that is the 'time warp' where I get so engrossed in the programme that time simply disappears and when the credits roll I'm like 'The hell? No way has that been 45 minutes....' I could go for another episode but it all starts to get a bit much in terms of the violence (physical and emotional, especially after Killer Within), I'm already finding zombies are in my dreams/nightmares every night, to quite an unpleasant degree. Maybe a bit of Hearthstone is a better idea. |

Finished Season 3 last night, overall a solid watch from start to finish although did contain a couple of less good episodes and a few elements that had me thinking it could have been better handled or written. There are some really good write-ups on The Atlantic's website - http://www.theatlantic.com/walking-dead-roundtable/ I've been reading them after I've watched an episode. |
