The walking Dead

oddjob said:
Most of the zombies though are people who were bitten but escaped to live for a while before turning. So the elderly, wheelchair bound people and young kids would not often get away from the zombies - I imagine. There are probably way too few teenagers around though, both as zombies and survivors.

They did have that zombie child right in the first season,when Rick was looking for his family
 
Latest episode flew by. I however am more and more aware how the walking dead is kind of a soap opera. Designed to go on and on and on.

I've been watching the latest season of Revolution. That's a show which has constantly improved and improved. In the second season there's some walking dead parallels. However with revolution I have thoughts and ideas of what's going on, where it's going. The Walking Dead is a show I just watch and enjoy. Unlike Revolution, Game of Thrones and a bunch of other shows. I literally have no thought long term about the story but the present.

I watch Revolution too..it's very interesting to see how people would cope if the power went out and how humans become the predators and let their bad sides come out.Who do you think those people from Cuba are?

This is what I love about the show. It reminds me of Lost but in a way that won't be so annoying in 6 seasons time.

I totally think the 'patriots' from Cuba are Americans. Even the remains of the military and government. However I suspect there's been more points of access to the nanites than the tower. I love the fact the main characters were manipulated into turning the power on so they could nuke some cities. I also noticed the patriots invasion was based on non powered vehicles. Sailing ships ect. So they clearly didn't want the power to stay on. I think Aaron Pittman doesn't have super powers, but people with access to the nanites chose to save him because of his coding knowledge. They were showing him things. However this could all be part of some weird manipulation plan. Even maybe by the Patriots.

Of course I could be over thinking things.

I really have a lot of sympathy for Monroe as a character. He's very well done. I like the fact he isn't just complete evil, that he is a victim of circumstance. As opposed to say the Governor in Walking Dead. Where despite all attempts to humanize him, he is just evil and unsympathetic.

I see Monroe as someone who adapted to the world. Him and his best friend managed to bring some order to the post power world. Along the way they had to do some bad things. Where is the line? Then one day his best friend goes, 'i've had enough' blames him for going too far, tries to kill him and then pisses off. Leaving Monroe alone in control of the republic, where paranoia was setting in after his best friend in the whole world who he built it with tried to kill him. I think he's someone who did what he had to, or what he thought he had to in the situation. He went to the brink of insanity. Now it was all for nothing.

He definitely went too far and I find it interesting how Miles keeps avoiding killing him..Charlie on the other hand....

I agree!

I felt sorry for the pigs last episode. The squealing was horrible :( Poor little tykes.

Carl got his gun back. Carl annoys the crap out of me. :p I really don't like him.

Farmer Rick is gone and Sheriff Rick is back.

I think we learnt some interesting stuff about Michone. She was very upset holding onto Judith. Perhaps she was a mother who lost her baby due to the Walkers? I don't know.

I also wonder who burnt those people. Intriguing.
 
one thing kept bugging me throughout the episode... WHY DIDNT THE SICK PEOPLE HAVE MASKS ON ARGHHHHHH!!!!

generally masks are to keep other people safe from you, not you safe from other people.

i know not a terribly big issue, just irked the crap out of me :) especially when Hershel got a face full of blood.


edit:half way through Talking Dead ....marilyn manson *face palm*

Yeah, that kind of takes away from the show a bit once you realise that the only future they have (or at least have had in the comics from what I hear) is fighting off an endless number of zombies and bad men. Where's the resolution for this series? They all die, one by one?

Really perhaps the only solution for them is to get to the coast and find an island and clear it of zombies.

I would love if they actually some how managed to create a world beyond the core main characters. Sure they lose people and bring in people. However there will be a point where no more main characters can die with out completely ruining the show.

Creating new characters just as good will become so exponentially harder.

I would actually love them to push into the whole, they end up somewhere in a mass populated safe zone, but there are still reasons to push the story forward. I always feel the prison due to production restrictions has been no where near as fully realized as it should be. The show is literally the most watched drama on US tv and so there is no excuse for that. They need to go bigger and bigger. Go into new areas.

I know the show is not about the global conflict, but the local one. However it needs to expand larger into that to not repeat itself.

Well it wasn't. It was Carol. I'm actually really liking Carol. I feel like she's grown - especially lately.

I do wonder where it's going. I think they're trying to get them away from the prison now though. What with the breakouts of sickness, etc.

They might stumble upon the governor again though. That's an unresolved plot.
