The Walking Dead

I need to start bugging my library to hurry up so I can catch up.
Thanks for the info.

 

Hard to believe this is 'Andrea.' Laurie Holden is

pretty much guaranteed to stick around, I think. Andrea is such an integral part of Rick's group in The Walking Dead comic book series.

'The Walking Dead : Vol.12 : Life Among Them / writer, Robert Kirkman ; artist, Charlie Adlard.'

Hope it's there when I go to the library for a 'hold' pick-up!

My Picasa album with more of The Walking Dead - Episode 2.06, 'Secrets' Sneak Peek Screencaps & promo photos.

 

thanks for the help. ill try to find a comic store this weekend. if i cant ill pm you and let you know

 

Love the cover!

I think this makes no difference whatsoever but the correct spelling of the title is "Days Gone Bye." Even my library misspells it.

 

Just watched episode 6 of season 2.

I feel like bitchslapping Lori.

After Rick's response, I feel like bitchslapping him too.

 

She is really getting to be a pain in the ass.

 

I hated the Andrea-Shane hook-up. I have a feeling she's gonna hate herself as well for the post-apocalyptic tango she did with him in his sub-compact car's front seat.
Though utterly unrealistic that he should be up doing chores on the farm 5 days after being shot, I really liked the bit with Chandler Riggs as "Carl," and his desire to learn how to use a gun. That kid has some acting chops.

 

Shane's the same crazy idiot he was in the comic. But I really dislike what they made out of Andrea. She was my second-most-favorite character (after Rick) in the comic, now she's my third-least-favorite (after Lori and Shane).

 

Well that episode ended rather abruptly, don't you think?

 

yes i do, i was waiting on more

 

The Walking Dead - Episode 2.07 - 'Pretty Much Dead Already' - Huge Sophia Spoiler (PHOTO):

'Cannot confirm if legit but certainly seems likely. Seems to have been leaked by a FX UK employee.'​

Episode opens with Glenn revealing the presence of the walkers to the rest of the group, who promptly proceed to freak out. Maggie becomes angry with Glenn for not keeping the secret and ruins his hat in retribution. Dale gives Glenn his trademark bucket hat as a replacement. Maggie later makes a plea to Hershel for the group to stay. She and Glenn also have an argument about the walkers, after which they eventually admit their feelings, kiss and make up.​

Rick and Hershel argue, with Hershel demanding the group leave within a week. Rick uses the my-wife-is-pregnant card, but Hershel’s not persuaded. Shane also wants the group to get the hell out of there because of the walkers in the barn, but Rick uses the same excuse to cool him down. However, Shane then becomes convinced that Lori’s baby is his.​

Dale takes off with Shane’s guns to hide them in the swamp. Shane tracks him down and demands he give the guns back. Dale points his rifle at him and threatens to shoot. However, he backs down at the last moment, since he has no wish to become like Shane: he reveals that he knows Shane shot Otis and lied about what really happened. Shane heads back to the farm with the guns.​

Hershel has Rick help him and Jimmy try to fish some walkers out of a nearby pit of quicksand and lead them into the barn with snare poles. He says the group can stay on the farm if they agree not to kill the walkers. They arrive at the farm about the same time Shane emerges from the swamp and hands out guns to other members of the group…​

Shane sees the snared walkers and goes berserk. He yells at Rick and Hershel as they guide the walkers towards the barn, with the rest of the group and people in the farm looking on. He pulls his sidearm and unloads it in the chest of one of the walkers, demanding to know “Could someone who’s alive just take that? Why is it still coming?” Hershel has no answer.​

He finishes off the walker with a headshot, grabs a nearby pick axe and breaks open the barn door. Walkers pour out, T-Dog, Daryl, Shane, Glenn, and Andrea form a line and open fire. Once the dust clears, one more walker emerges. Sophia. Rick finally steps up next to the others, pulls his six-shooter and kills Sophia with a shot to the head. End episode."​

Well that's a departure from the comic, to be sure! You called it

Do you know how long they're going on break for after the next episode?

 

oooooo

 

One of the things that I'm hoping so far after reading some of these comic spoilers is that the 'concept' goes the way Hitchhiker's did - every iteration was similar but different enough to be new. If they too strictly follow the comic books I could see the show running out of steam too fast.

Lori is a pita. I think it works well enough for her - not everyone can be loved.

Am I the only one who saw the Shane/Andrea thing coming a mile away?

 

no.

 

I'm pretty horrified about Sophia but yes, I saw it coming. It dovetails straight into the the absolutely relentless awfulness of 'living' in a zombie apocalypse that The Walking Dead comic books illustrate so deftly. I like that the show was able to put together a scene that though not specific to the exact fate of comic book

Sophia, still renders the sheer horror that the comic books induce onto the TV screen. Or at least, I hope it will.

There has been no announced exact return date (just 'spring', I think) but filming of the return episodes is well underway. My guess is that April 2012 will bring the return. I am about 95% sure that TWD will be back in time for the "May Sweeps' (when TV ratings are really important and show's futures are dependent on the outcome--less important here when Season 3 has already been green-lit).

 

That's a good spoiler!

But, a break until April? Really? That seems excessive.

 

It's how the industry works. They are working--filming NOW. What? You don't like special effects?

 

the second half of the second season already has a return date set. It will be back on TV on February 12th.
It is not because of May sweeps (especially since that is only really relevant for network TV shows, which are longer and have fall-spring seasons), but because December and January are just generally dead tv months, especially sunday nights, with Christmas break and NFL playoffs. February 12th is the sunday after the superbowl.

I would bet the third season will follow a similar pattern. First half released just before Halloween, break for December-January.
