The Walking Dead

[Marcus78]

I started watching this show from the first episode, and I've been hooked ever since! It has it's fair share of plot holes and errors, but it's pretty damn good as far as zombie movies are concerned. I've always been a huge zombie-apocalypse fan, and there are just not enough decent zombie movies/shows nowadays. Does anyone else watch this show, and if so, what do you think will happen in season finale next Sunday? I wonder if we'll finally get to hear what Dr. Jenner whispered to Rick at the end of Season 1 too?







For bonus points, what would be your weapon of choice if/when the zombie apocalypse comes? I think a good ole' fashion 12-gauge with a drum barrel and a shitload of ammo would be hard to beat!

I just started watching it. I get terrified and start peeking out the window constantly. My worst fear is zombies. I am working on my arsenal just in case

Watched it when it first started, trying to catch up with this season now. I have a minor obsession with zombies.

When I first heard about the Walking Dead I thought it was going to be shit, i thought A&E was just catering to the supernatural trend that was popular a year or so ago. I was thinking, how can you make a successful show based on zombies, wouldn't all the zombies die out in the first year ( if you wanna get Zombie survival guide technical) but I love the show! I love the story line although it is a bit slow moving and it seems very realistic.


MY choice of weapons would be a flamethrower, a chainsaw, and a grenade launcher.

It. Is. Coming.

Marcus, you must have been reading me and JJ's mind! We were discussing the show today! Bordercrosser got me hooked...so, I just started watching it a few weeks ago...they had a Walking Dead marathon.

I was surprised to see Shane get killed. What shocked me was Lori...and how she turned so two-faced! First, she's having an affair with Shane, then when Rick is found alive...tells him how *dangerous* Shane is...then, last night, tells Shane how sorry she is for everything! Huh???

I think Dr. Jenner told Rick that Lori is infected. Then, there's gonna be a dilemma about the baby...we shall see! Does anyone watch *The Talking Dead* after the show? (lol)

[Marcus78]

Interesting theory Nikki. I always thought Jenner told Rick 1. that everyone was infected or 2. the government unleashed the virus. It appears number 1 may be plausible, but I hope the secret is something more creative. :/ I've never read a comic book in my life, but I'm tempted to go out and buy them to see how it compares to the TV series.....and by buy, I mean illegally download because I hate paying for shit! LOL

Skylar: great choice of weapons with the chainsaw and flamethrower!

I always wondered why they didn't just dig a series of trenches around the farm, or set up barbed-wire fencing to catch the zombies. I mean, the walkers have a hard time solving problems, so if they fall in a trench, or get tangled in barbed-wire, they're screwed! Also, they would be easy to shoot since they're unable to walk anywhere. Then again, maybe I'm over-thinking the movie... LOL

Haha, Marcus you crack me up! No wonder you don't sleep at night!

We gotta remember that it is just showbiz, there are times where say "That would never happen" of course if it where up to me honestly I would take anyone in my group who had kid (they slow you down), I am not stopping to help anyone with severe injuries (no medical means DOA and I don't need anyone slipping away on my watch). We would be on the road 24/7 until we can find a secure prison facility that we can inhabit and live self sufficiently until the zombies die out hopefully within 2 to 3 years.

In a perfect world I would love to think I could outlive the zombie outbreak but in reality I won't last the first 3 days sadly. I would just hope someone will put me out of my misery before I change.

A lot of people watch this show....in fact, more than any other TV drama in the history of cable television. How many of you knew that?

did they ever find that little girl?

[Marcus78]

did they ever find that little girl?

Carol's daughter Sophia. Yes, they found her. She got turned into a zombie (remember she ran-off into the woods after the zombies attacked the group on the highway) while wandering around the woods.

It turned out that Hershel (the farm owner) found her in the swamp and placed the girl in the barn with the rest of the zombies. At the mid-season finale of season 2 when Shane opened up the barn, she was the last one out of the door, and they shot her along with all the other zombie/walkers being held in the barn.

[Likinikki]

Yup...it was a very sad Zombie apocalypse that day! Who would want your family to have to live like that...I'd have to put them out of their misery, pronto!

Skylar...you're hardcore girl! (lol)

Eeek! I should have put a spoiler warning up. Sorry Malaya. It's a great show regardless. The season finale is this Sunday though, so get to watching girl! LOL I tried getting together a group to watch the show, but my co-workers, etc. are not fans of zombies unfortunately...

[Ms. Milani]

LOL!

[Guest081519]

LMFAO Malaya!!! That pretty much sums it up! Great show though.

I have all of the season 2 episodes (to date) recorded on my DVR. I need to make copies to DVD to ship them to a friend overseas. Anyone know how to do that?
