Title: The Walking Dead
Post by: Kilizion on November 03, 2010, 06:13:08 pm
(http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/gallery/14666/The_Walking_Dead_(TV)_24.jpg)



From the guys who did The Shawshank Redemption, Terminator, Aliens...

The Walking Dead is an American television series developed for television by Frank Darabont and based upon the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard. It premiered on the AMC network on October 31, 2010 with a 90-minute premiere episode, during the network's "Fearfest".

The Walking Dead tells the story of the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse and follows a small group of survivors traveling across the United States in search of a new home away from the hordes of zombies. The group is led by Rick Grimes, who was a police officer in the old world. As their situation grows more and more grim, the group's desperation to survive pushes them to do almost anything to stay alive.

---

Anyway me and Narco watched the first episode and it's good has some familiar faces in there as well from other TV shows. I'd recommend it anyway, it seems very high budget, the effects, acting and storyline so far are really well done. It just aired so not much catching up to do.

8/10

I agree with the people on the state of the game podcast, that you shouldn't judge a series based only on the first episode, cause it is literally created to bring the hype up. But anyways, I expect this to be a good series based on the production behind it!

I'm not too fond of zombie stuffs though -.-

Me and Byee saw it last night, and we thought it was great. Amazing atmosphere. It's more of a horror-drama than a action zombie flick - so some might find it slow (or boring), i loved it tho.

Read the comic - watched first ep...
Doesn't quite represent the same filth as the comic - which is a shame.
Seems way more americanized~

I can however suggest y'all read the comic, it's fucking brilliant. One of my favs.

Ok i liked it, and the effects are great.
Only 1 thing is annoying.... Why the fuck have they made sloooooowww zombie's.... HELLO its 2010, were not living in the 80's anymore!
Now its like OMG there's a zombie! Ill just do a double quick and nothing is wrong.
They should have made the zombie's or related creatures, like they made them in 28 days later / 28 weeks later, they are damn fast in those movies. Thats more action if you ask me.
Anyways im still gonna follow this serie :P

Slow zombies ftw. All the recent zombie movies seemed to have fast zombies already.
I liked the "masses instead of speed" approach they took in the end.

Post by: Inphy on November 05, 2010, 04:13:07 pm
These zombies are perfect. They're not too slow, not too fast. Come in big masses, are still dangerous and not stupid. They can open simple doors, but can't yield weapons (so far).

Can't wait for episode 2.

this

i think the zombies not constantly running like dead men with their rotten bodies (how does running with half rotted muscles make sense anyway?) builds up a certain tension

they're definitely not displayed as completely useless, but more or less like animal instinct driven humans with inferior bodies. Which is cool, because it gives the show this certain constant uneasy feeling, especially seeing how almost everyone is a zombie except for the main guy

Reminds me of that scene in 28 Weeks Later. The zombies are all going nuts, screaming, running around... and then they come to a big flight of stairs!

Apparently all the zombies slow down and grab the hand rail as they run down the stairs :P

They never did bother to re-film it though...

Well, 28 months later is in the making! 2013 is when it's done.

But yeah, I don't know. I like 28 days/weeks later. I wouldn't classify it as so much a zombie movie though. More a post-apocalyptic sort of things.

But there are 2 types of zombies.

Those who rose from the grave. - slow, not smart.
Those who are infected by some disease. - usually fast, not so smart.

Well the logic behind zombies moving slow, is that they are rotting and afflicted by rigor mortis, and therefore cannot move their limbs very fast.

I happened to read the comic of this a month ago, and its not bad, will check out the show.

just saw episode 2, opinions of all ya guys? SPOILERS INC, dunno why i cant hide em with [spoiler] tags!

i think it was multiple levels below the bar set in episode 1, whereas i felt like there was WAY less things happening

in fact, you could shortly summarize the episode:
[spoiler]his partner buttfucking his wife in the woods, him running into a building with people, him driving out of town with those people[/spoiler]

maybe i still need to get used to the episode per episode format of the show, and i know i can't expect every single episode to be movie quality. The change with episode 1 simply was pretty big. The thing i missed most was the constant tense atmosphere. In episode 1 there was this constant uneasy feeling with all the slow walking zombies around corners. In this episode however, they were all over the place, running the main guy down, climbing fences, beating windows with rocks, etc

i'll see what the next episode brings :)

[spoiler] am i the only one btw who pisses the entire *guy looks for wife in zombiepocalypse, while wife is being assbanged by his friend 24/7* off?[/spoiler]

You can generally expect second episode to be worse then first one, i mean, they generally try to pimp the first one to the max.

I liked the second episode tbh, I thought some of the ideas were unique and I hadn't seen anything like them before, which was cool.

They seemed a lot faster in this episode, they even try to break windows with rocks. And they climb a fence and ladder :D

...not enough action? You want them running from zombies for 45 mins?

The show could be a bit more complex thou, there's only one story thread (main guy) going on. For example, the wood camp survivors do nothing, just sitting there, waiting.

Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: Kilizion on November 10, 2010, 12:15:09 pm
Yeah I figured they could have at least used the rails to slow the zombies a bit, even though they didn't need it. It was nice to see them hack up the zombie and cover themselves in shit, and then the rain fell and it was like 'oh shit, run'. And the distraction car was a cool idea too. Anyway what I really wanted to see was him use that grenade!

I like post apocalyptic stuff!

It all started pretty good; creepy atmosphere and the shooting of a little zombie kid in the head, without blinking.

However, later into the first episode and especially in the second episode its mainly about killing/running from zombies. This could be fun. But this show does not want to be fun. It's a serious show with serious messages: "there are no niggers anymore, only them and us, we need to collaborate to survive". Lines like this are delivered with serious care faces.

The same care faces also cover themselves with zombie intestines to smell like the walking dead. This scene is pretty bizarre and could actually have worked with some Bad Taste/Brain Dead humour. But this is a serious show and when serious looking people walk around with chopped off body parts around their neck to smell like zombies, I just can't take it anymore.

No episode three for me.

from what i heard the comic the show is based on is quite 'gory', a feauture some missed in the first episode. It's possible that episode 1 was more to get the masses into the show, after which they try to stick to the comic, rather than the other way around (that the show 'got out of setting' after episode 1)

tho the phase shift went a bit fast for me aswell going from episode 1 to episode 2

I'm still gonna 100% finish this show tho, i got plenty of spare time anyway, and i'm interested in how the story is going to unfold.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: Inphy on November 10, 2010, 05:46:02 pm
It's better then most zombie movies anyway. Or post-apocalyptic stuff.

I'll just watch, it's fun to see zombies. And people running /killing zombies. And this show probably wouldn't last for more than 2 seasons anyway.

Tbh, I think you're taking it too seriously. It's a post apocalyptic zombie tv series. Yeah they had some redneck dude being racist and the cop said that line, he would have said it wether there were zombies or not it's his job he's a cop and that guy was a douche bag, racist or not. I think the idea of that scene was for everyone to stick together and work as a team not some anti-racism message. The black guy even went back to save the redneck, the point is differences aside they could have used him. He was strong and a good shooter and they needed to work as a team to survive. Which is why they went to the effort of getting vehicles to group up with the people at the camp.

This leads me to your second point, you've seen people be killed and killed people, you're telling me if you could put some zombie guts on some free clothes to get a vehicle to escape you wouldn't do it? It was an original idea and nothing i'd seen before and I don't think it was meant to be jokey or serious. Point is they are going to any means to group up with other survivors. The whole point is survival.

Every Zombie type show and film I've seen (and trust me I've seen a fucking lot) there are always scenes were there is dispute within the group for the sake of emphasising team work. And were people go to extreme lengths to survive because the whole point is survival. If you don't like this shit then don't start watching in the first place, it's the whole fucking point of this sub genre.

The "if you don't like it, don't watch it" argument is pretty bad in a forum, you know. People use forums to discuss different topics. If you don't like people having different opinions than yourself then maybe you should stop visiting forums.

On the other hand though, I will stop watching it. I did give the show a chance because I generally like post apocalyptic stuff.

Running/killing zombies can be good enough. For a 90 minute movie. But for hours and hours and hours? No thanks.

I'm not the one taking this show seriously though, Kilizion. YOU are. I don't take it seriously and I don't find it entertaining.

I agree that it's about survival and it should be. But I don't buy the whole "lets put down our differences and collaborate for survival during these extreme circumstances". That's not how humans work. I like better when people eat eachother for survival. That is true survival horror/scifi. The part when they wrap feet around their neck was just silly to me. The whole scene was laughable. If you thought it was a great survival feat then...well...fine!
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: Kilizion on November 11, 2010, 01:42:08 pm
My point was I just think it was clear (from watching previous things of this nature) this kind of thing would be in this kind of show, especially early on. I guess we both had different expectations from the first 2 episodes. But I just disagree that the show is trying to convey serious messages, just similar messages to those in the same sub genre.

I agree that it's entertaining to see people go to extremes to survive. This might very well come later on in the series and not something you'd see in episode 2. Again, similarly to other things of this nature, when things start to get more desperate, the other side of human nature might come out.

I think initially people will stick together in the show, and later as things do get worse it'll be more 'dog eat dog'. I feel that for a series that'll span a few season (at least 2) episode 2 is just a bit early for that kind of thing. But there's no doubt in my mind that kind of thing come later on. But if you expect stuff like that from the start then I guess the show is not for you. I'm going to be patient with it and see how it develops. It's more fun to see relationships develop and it's more dramatic when they end in a horrific way, for me this adds to the horror.

About the techniques they used, I just said it was nice to see something different, it wasn't amazing or omg the best thing I've seen ever by a long shot. Also I don't have a problem with your opinion at all it's a fair one, I just wouldn't expect people to be eating each other to survive from episode 2 of a series that might span multiple seasons. But it's definitely something I'd bet on appearing later on.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: treachery on November 11, 2010, 04:17:21 pm
no, the show is not for me. it might get more intresting later on but im not patient enough.

shows like this are like a really really really long movie. imagine "28 days later" being 30 hours...

i should stick to movies. but thats another topic!
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: Kilizion on November 11, 2010, 04:22:07 pm
Ah that's fair enough, I kind of like the idea of a long zombie survival TV series. Did you watch Dead Set? Only 5 episodes long but really cool, might be more up your street.
Title: Re: The Walking Dead
Post by: Cinn on November 15, 2010, 07:37:42 pm
Episode 3 now online, just finished watching

i must say, i take back my concerns of the story not developing

in fact, i didnt expect this much development in one episode.

[LOL EDITTED IT MIRLOL STYLE EXCEPT I ONLY ADDED SPOILER TAGS]


[spoiler]I rly think the acting and the social triangle between shane rick lori is close to awkward, and i'm rly curious as to how this is going to develop further. I'm not sure if Lori is being fair to Shane. Yes, he did hookup with her, but he had every reason to belief Rick is dead, and so far in every way it seems he lost his own family. I think atm Lori is more struggling with herself than anything else. Yet it was good to see that it seems that she, eventho everything that happened still loves and prioritizes Rick.

who then ran off to rescue the idiot. I guess in some ways i can get why he's doing it, i just think it takes away some of the 'i must survive to be reunited with my family' objective, well, I thought that was going to be one of the main goals of the show.[/spoiler]

Hence why this episode was great, I rly dont have a clue as to how the show will develop even further.

Just watched episode three, enjoyed it.

[spoiler]

Nice to see the awkwardness and relationships develop. I really like all the characters so far, I think everyone has a bit of a storyline that'll emerge in time as we know very little about some of the other characters yet. Also I kind of predicted the roof dude how and when would escape, but cut through the cuffs rather than his arm? Although that was cool. I also feel him and his brother might be a little bit of a liability to the group later on as well as useful. I'd also like a bit more info on what's going on with the black guy and his kid at the start and if they're actually meant to be part of it?

[/spoiler]

Might read the comic book.

This turned a bit into Zombie Soap Opera.

No real threat throughout the whole episode. This is a 6-episode-season, they are halfway throu and still spend most of the time introducing the characters...

Well Season2 is greenlit, maybe some story will happen then.

Show is great for now ,really .In my oppinion one of the movies with best done zombies,what is reason i mostly dislike zombie moves. Only there 2 things which i dislike , when Sara Tancredi openning that wide eyes like she has Lazors in it and wanna snipe some1 , what is more about acting :).
And i dont like SLOW translators which doing Serbian subtitle :)))

I enjoyed the latest episode. I agree about the laser eyes also.

[spoiler]
Really enjoyed the zombie killing in this episode, lots of action and a bit of humour to boot. Was one of the better episodes action wise anyway. Quite like how quickly the camp numbers diminished, and there was some unexpected death, especially the blonde girl. Decent all round, looking forward to seeing what happened with the dudes brother.

After having seen all 6 episodes, I can't really recommend the show.
Some episodes are OK (1st, 2nd, maybe the last), but that's about it.

Reasons why it sucks:
- I dont give a shit about any of the survivors, probably because:
- survivors behave stupid
- show completely fails to make me wanna watch the next episode, because:
- nothing really interesting happens (compare that to Breaking Bad, where its exactly the opposite)
- soap opera writing
- bad acting

Edit: It's said the comic is awesome. Doing some wikipedia reading, apparently they changed a lot of the story. If that's true - why, oh why did they dumb it down to some 08/15 TV drama level?

Wait, what!? Was that the end of season 1? Hahahaha, shit, I had hoped it would turn good again.

Yeah it's a pilot season most likely. If it got enough ratings, it'll continue :)

I agree only like 50% of the episodes are decent. With new writers and strategically killing of some of the weaker characters season 2 could be good.

Hehe, keep thinking of Left 4 Dead when watching this. If only they had pipe bombs
