AMC's The Walking Dead - S3 2nd half starts 02/10/13 9PM ET

[quote name='coolsteel']Looks like time for the black guy to die[/QUOTE]


i hope so hes fucking annoying and like a number of those characters a waste of space. thin the herd and tighten up the stories and tension and more gore.

it should be an easier show to watch now that i know theyre not really following the comics closely that said that
bridge scene they show why the fuck would you hide under the car? if they find you youre screwed .
 
Nothing like the graphic novel anymore, never really was from the start, but I still love this fucking show. If they cross paths with the events in the comics, great. If they don't, no big deal. Would like to see the two events fro the spoiler above though.
 
Looks good, I'm glad to see the farm making an appearance. Which means if they follow the comics
the prison shouldn't be too far off
 
Yeah....looks as boring as the first season, with many more forced annoying situations. I hope that black guy dies, the old man dies, the stupid girl dies. These people cant act for crap and the plot devices surrounding are ridiculously. Only keep Rick, Asian guy and redneck guy only because he is one of the few that feels like he is actually at least trying to act.

The trailer does nothing for me but I will watch the season, bitch and complain about it, listen to you guys bitch and complain about me bitching and complaining until the third season starts.
 
I really wish DirecTV would add AMC HD!

I may just wait to rent the Bluray this time as the SD feed looks terrible on my TV.

Oh thank God for this. I don't know how I would've coped if you didn't watch and bitch.
 
[quote name='Scorch']For those that have read the novels,
this season deals with Herschel's farm and possibly finding the prison. They won't get to Woodbury and the Governor until season three. I really hope they introduce Michonne this season!
[/QUOTE]

Trailer looked really good. Yeah seems
like they find the farm which is a relief since the last seasons finale really derailed the story for a second. Nice to see it's back on track somewhat. Not that I mind them adding new stuff, some of it has been really good. The "hiding under the cars" scene looks tense, great addition.

If they follow the comics
you'll have your wish granted. Of the season 1 group, only a couple are still left in the comics
 
So.. Frank Darabont stepped down.

From Collider:

In an incredibly surprising development, series creator/executive producer/director Frank Darabont has stepped down as showrunner on AMC’s smash hit The Walking Dead. This comes as a huge shock, as Darabont was just present on Friday at the show’s Comic-Con panel and seemed fine. Moreover, the show is currently in the middle of production on season two. There’s speculation that he may be off the show completely, but talks are still ongoing about him staying on in some capacity.

Behind-the-scenes, the show hasn’t been without its fair share of drama. Back in December it was reported that he had fired the show’s writing staff from season one and was planning on hiring freelancers for the second season. He ultimately decided against that course of action, and brought on Glen Mazzara as executive producer and his number two. It’s unclear if Mazzara will now assume showrunning duties.

Needless to say, the show seems to be in a bit of a state of limbo at the moment, though Deadline’s report states that these developments have not affected the ongoing production. I’d be shocked if Darabont doesn’t stay on in at least some capacity, as the show has been his labor of love. Not to mention the fact that season one of The Walking Dead drew ginormous ratings and positive critical reaction. Maybe the stress of producing 13 episodes for the second season as opposed to season one’s 6 got to him? The reports states that Darabont never quite got used to the grueling schedule of TV production having hailed from feature films. Hopefully we’ll know more about the show’s future soon. Season two premieres on AMC October 16th.
 
[quote name='Jodou']Huh, maybe there's hope for the show now. No, no wait. . .the actors still suck.[/QUOTE]


lmao classic. theres at least 3 decent actors on the show the old guy , the asian kid and the guy who plays rick. the racist guy is decent too but hes so damn cliche. with that guy stepping down id be all for them pretending these past episodes were a dream and starting over. or maybe they could do the show animated like spawn on hbo. either way itll be interesting to see the direction these new episodes take.
 
I remember why I stopped coming to this thread. It's full of people complaining about the show who also stopped watching because they didn't like it, but yet feel the need to come back in and complain about it.

Do us a favor and hit the "Unsubscribe" button.
 
I may need to re-watch at least the last episode, I remember the beginning a lot better than I remember how it ended.
 
Yeah, it started great, but that season finale was a big WTF!?!?. I'm not one of those guys who thinks the show should stick directly to the source material, but that it was really out of place.

IMO the show shouldn't even focus on
what caused the zombie epidemic or even how it works. That's not what the comic's about and what I love about it, well, that and it's unpredictablity.
 
Less than 24 hours to go, I can't wait. With a mini-marathon airing before the season premiere, and Talking Dead airing immediately after WD, I'm amped for the season to be a great one!
 
I was hoping a little more would happen, but I'm so used to watching shows like this as a whole in season sets anymore that watching one episode and having to wait a week is pretty foreign.
 
[quote name='coolsteel']Missed it going to have to catch a torrent later[/QUOTE]It's on a number of times this coming week. No reason to torrent it. :roll:
 
I was happy with the episode and I also like the differences from the comic. It keeps things feeling fresh and new.

Also - every time Shane, Rick and Carl are out by themselves in the woods I'm just waiting for Shane to get shot, but thought it was funny Carl got shot today.

I hope the show continues on the excellent path it has taken so far, but just doesn't spend a lot of time with the CDC trying to figure out what causes the zombies.

Edit:
I was just watching some of the interviews and Rick Grimes is British - just lost some of my suspension of disbelief. I will just have to pretend I never saw that, well.. heard it I guess.

Looks like they are back to the Dragon Ball Z form of television. So much filler I wasnt hungry for dinner. (I really didnt mean for that to rhyme) Wasted the entire episode on this stupid girl when Rick could have just out ran both walkers even while carrying her.

I hope this isnt a sign of things to come.

Also, blonde lady is really getting annoying.
 
I thought it was pretty good, beginning was one of the best moments so far in the series but then it started to drag a little towards the middle but the ending made up for it.

Anyone else
not feeling what they did to Daryl? Last season he only went along with whatever the group wanted so that he could find his brother/stay alive but he still acted "rebellious". Now he's all friendly and a team player.
 
Any one else feel the writers played it safe by making Carl get shot because whoever shot him is going to say he was shooting at the dear? I don't see why they couldn't so it just as in the comic.

Thought crossed my mind too but he was running on fumes, entire scene he was breathing hard and tripping on his own two feet even without carrying her. Less of a chance of both of them making it if he carried her. Didn't help the girl was told to only run off if he didn't come back but she got up the second he left.
 
This is going to be a filler season
I read that it will end either right after or shortly before they set up camp in the jail.. The Governor stuff will be in season 3
 
The whole scene was just borked. It required me to dumb down too much to believe. First off (I know this is dumb but it bothered me) why do these zeds seem WAY smarter than average zeds? That one processed that she was crawling underneath the car, stood up and practically ran to the other side...felt too much like it was a person using thought not a zombie.

Then she choose to sprint as deep into the woods as she possible could, even though she could have ran any direction. Ok fine chalk it up to a kid being stupid. Then they find her...tell her to hide and then tells her to run blindly back to camp. I dont know...it felt lazy to me so they could set up the searching the woods for the rest of the episode.

I will say this the although the RV breaking down is really convenient that entire sequences of scenes were pretty good.

Haven't seen this season yet, but I kinda like what they did to that character. Reminds me of the Dawn of the Dead remake, where you hated that prick security guard at first and he became easily the best character in the movie.
 
thought the entire show was just lame last night.

wonder what the buttons said on the dead person in tent

i be shocked is there is a season 3 after how bad the ratings will be if the rest of the shows are like this
 
Sounds like they picked up right where they left off last season with a boring show. I'll just stick with my Boardwalk Empire. So good!
 
First let me say, I like the Walking Dead. It's good for a zombie TV show. The makeup is amazing, the acting is tolerable. I try to keep an open mind when watching the show - I really liked the first few episodes, but I hated the last few episodes.

Episode was kind of lazy. It was an hour and a half that could have been shortened to an hour easy. The opening, with Rick's monologue to someone who obviously isn't listening was useless and overdramatic. He narrated the whole fucking story, only omitting the part about what the dicknose at the CDC told him right before the place exploded. Thanks, Rick - I'm sure whatever the BIG SECRET is - is a total letdown.

The episode had some good parts, there was a lot of suspense in the "car graveyard", I liked the idea of the roaming herd of zombies. I also liked the zombies in the church a lot - it didn't make sense they were still sitting in the pews, but it was pretty awesome nonetheless. Those were really the only strong points.

As mentioned above, I wanted to know what the buttons on the corpse in the tent said. Did anyone else notice the nice "How about a nice cup of shut the hell up?" sign in the camper? I need one of those for my office.

A LOT of time was wasted with the searching for the girl deal - I hope she ends up being a zombie. Little kid zombies are the freakiest. It was already mentioned, but she was an idiot for running so deep in the woods. Rick was an idiot for not calling out to her to strategize her escape as he was running along side her and dispatching the zombies sooner. She was also an idiot for leaving the dam or whatever, but it should have never come to that.

The show is focusing too much on this family atmosphere when the characters focus should be survival. A lot of shit doesn't make sense. Before entering the car graveyard, Daryl went ahead and scouted it out - Glen mentioned the other way, but they didn't have enough gas. They're sitting outside a car graveyard with cars full of gas.They end up siphoning gas from the cars eventually, but they could have just done that to begin with. They didn't have to get trapped in the middle of all those broken down cars. What if the radiator pipe were to break? D'oh, it did again. It's the end of the world, go to a nice Winnebago Dealership and get a brand new ride.

If I was in that group, I would have found a nice truck that was in that car graveyard and rode the fuck out. Shane's got the right idea, but again, big mistake making an announcement. I would have just been GONE.

The part with the kid and the deer was equally dumb. Whoever shot the deer had to see the damn kid with the red jacket standing a yard and a half directly behind him, especially since it was a direct shot through the deer and the kid. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

All that said, I am looking forward to next week's episode where they answer all the questions from last season like what happened to Merle? When is Shane REALLY going to die? Did the guy from the CDC come out of the closet to Rick in the finale?
 
Kinda boring and slow last night. My wife watched it with me (not having seen the first season) and I could tell she was bored. But I wouldn't call it a filler season since it looks like they hook up with Herschel and his crew.
 
Don't know if anyone else noticed this or if it was already pointed out but I was watching The Mist today and wow, there are 3 people from Walking Dead in this movie. Andrea, Carol and Dale were all in The Mist. I guess not surprising why Frank Darabont cast them for Walking Dead.

the car zombe scene seemed weird to me too but if they do go the smarter zombie route that could be interestng then at least something in the show will have some level of intellgence lol.

also as loud as that church bell was how come the herd didnt hear it and head that way?

too many whiny moments and i wsh theyd kill that lame ass black guy already and replace him with a better one his character is useless as is sophias whiny mom .

i did dig loris little speech to the other women thats the first time in this series I actually liked her.

the show is what it is and the zombe makeup is good shit but the camper zombie looked like t may have been some cgi.

the dude at the cdc said .... Lost sucked and everyone knew it ... :)

the church thing made sense with zombies in the church.. Maybe they did it every day and that is the last thing they remember.. Ringing of the bells mean it was time for church.

Deer thing also made sense since who the hell would think a kid would be standing out in the middle of the woods..

now we will meet a family who is living in the woods (too bad it wasnt the family from the wrong turn movies :)

Right, they will, but there won't be too much action (unless they change it up a bit from the graphic novel), just a lot of new characters. Like I said in my post earlier, the Governor isn't even going to be in this season.

IMDB has web exclusive clips/previews from episodes through episode 7. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1520211/episodes#season-2

actually, they appear to be webisodes. pretty crappy webisodes.. but i guess webisodes usually are
 
The whole church scene made sense to me and for anyone else who saw Dawn of the Dead. George Romero vision about the movie was that even as zombies they still just wanted to go to the mall because it was ingrained into there minds. The zombies heard bells ringing and somewhere in there mind (or whats left of it) went to church to pray.

Not the greatest episode but it was still entertaining, I like alot of the subtle changes from the comic they have made. I can go back and reread the omnibus and still watch the movie with out having that "Oh here it comes moment"
but that scene were Carl gets shot was in the comic
how they got to that point was different.

Since there are some changes to the main story could this Walking Dead be based on an alternate timeline?
