I am looking forward to this with almost Shego-like enthusiasm. The kind that might not be legal here.
 
Well, it sounds like he's dropping out of being the showrunner, but that doesn't mean he's leaving the show completely. It sounds like he was exhausted after the first season so it's understandable. AMC better get some serious talent in there, last I heard TWD had the highest ratings of any show on AMC so it's kind of their game to lose...
 
Am I the only one who couldn't care less about the show anymore after the absolutely atrocious last few episodes?
 
I don't know if you are the only one, but you are certainly one of the few people I know who thought the last few episodes where atrocious.
 
It was only the very last episode that was bad, but with only 6 total episodes, yes, it had shaken my confidence in the series a lot.
 
I recently went through the first season again and you know what? I liked it even more. Even the last episode, which a lot of people didn't like, was quite good. I'm now totally stoked for the second season.
 
Going to watch them all again 1-2 weeks before the premier.... so that I can remember everything, every name, every detail.

Read a few of the comics this summer, was pretty meh by it. The show is far better IMO.

You really need to read ALL of The Walking Dead to really get enjoyment out of it. It's not a series you can really just jump into at any point... you need to know what happened to get that far, ether by getting the trades or reading the reports they put out a few months back. It's my only real complaint about the series.
 
I read 1 to 10. By #8 I was fighting to keep myself interested. Sadly the comic isn't for me but the show truly is.

I'd say the comic picks up once they finally leave Atlanta. I think that would have been at about the point you stopped reading.
 
I dunno man, if they didn't grab someone by then they probably won't. They had me at issue 1 and they just keep getting better. Easily one of the finest works in the medium to date.
 
Tonight, I start to watch an episode of the Dead Walking. Every 2 days, I'll watch another and reacquaint myself to the show.
 
They released 6 webisodes to lead up to the premiere. You can see all six now. They're actually pretty damn good, too.

Check them out here.
 
Wow, the acting in these is particularly bad. Especially the dad. YEESH, the kids are doing better than he is. Nonetheless: yeeeeeeeeeesssss.
 
Looks like it may not be veering too far from volume 2 after all...
Also, this is the first time I've watched it on television instead of on DVD or online. Holy hell the number of commercial breaks and how short some of the segments had to be cut was annoying.
 
Oh god the herd scene was terrifying. I mean there's no way to know that hiding would work, or that your whole group would stay quiet. And what if one person had been caught? Holy crap it was good.


I didn't dig a lot of the rest of the episode just because I was hoping things would progress a little more than they did. Still good all around and I enjoyed it as I watched.
 
Just finished watching it, GOOD GOD the amount of commercial breaks was ridiculous. I'm seriously contemplating DVRing it next week and watching it while I fast forward all the junk. The last 30 minutes was insane.

Episode was very interesting but god damn are people absolutely horrid in terms of self-survival. Ripping one's hand on a car door like a fucken noob and I mean ripping the flesh from top to bottom. Getting up from the car like an idiot then running off in the woods and get saved and then NOT LISTEN to what the guy who saved your life is telling you to do.

Also, I expected something terribly bad to happen after they kept dragging the stag scene. The moment I saw the kid walking towards it I leaned over to my woman and said "boom".

She jumped a foot up from the couch when he got shot.
 
Sophia fits the trope of that scared, stupid kid who wanders off and gets into trouble. I don't like her in the comics, and I'm starting to really dislike her in the show.
