amc The Walking Dead (Season 2)

^ I'm pretty sure it can, what is a shame though is that the first season is so short, and 13 for the second is still short in my book considering how popular this show has been, I can forgive them season one where nobody knew how successful it would be, but now that they know it's a total hit, come on just 13 episodes? btw, the season's finale was amazing, how could they pull something more epic than this without making it the show's end or something? besides never forget this is a story already written, I can't wait for my book to arrive.

I just finished watching the "season" finale. It was pretty good. There wasn't really a cliffhanger at the end other than "where are they going to go next?" but that's fine I guess.

I really want to know what the doctor whispered to Grimes while they were leaving. Not knowing what he said (and it has to be important) is going to be maddening since we won't find out for at least a year.

[Kriz]

I loved it, i thought they did it pretty well.. I didnt want the episode to end, they'll definately catch up with Merl, he's gonna be on a rampage..

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Ten months seems like a long time to wait for new episodes. It makes you wonder if people will even remember the show by then.

[Kriz]

I dont think ill be forgetting it anytime soon, no doubt ill re-watch the series before the second one restarts, it is way too long though :(

To be completely honest, I know that everyone is in love with this show, and my expectations going into it were very very high and I completely loved the first episode....

But I really think this show is waaaay overrated. I really think the acting, writing, and pacing are sub-par. I really expected a lot more considering Frank Darabon't involvement. Sorry to be a cynic.

I completely agree. Though I didn't have high expectations, I still expected a lot more from it.

besides never forget this is a story already written..

Really, it's not. I think you'll be surprised at how much the book differs.

based on the season finale the show is now 100% different from the book

From an IGN interview with Robert Kirkman

Shane is now an "x-factor" on the television show for the comic books fans. They don't know when he's going to die, how he's going to die, or if he's going to die. Because everything's changed. So now it makes the show more interesting for the comic book fans because they don't know what's going to happen next. I think that's one of the best things going for this show. To keep fans guessing.

So it is a good thing that it keeps things fresh while at the same time paying respect to the comics

[Lamp0]

Probably keeps the writers guessing too.

What Robert said about that whisper...

Does it have something to do with the blood tests and the parentage of Rick?s son? Or should I say ?alleged? son?

If Lori is even pregnant.

Is that all you have to say on the subject?

You might be barking up the wrong tree. Anything can happen! I don?t want to give anything away! Look, it could have been just like, ?Hey, watch out for those zombies out there, dude!? But it wasn?t. It?ll probably be revealed in season two, what he said. And it?s pretty monumental.

Well that's great news, I just got The Walking Dead: Compendium One on the mail today, can't wait to read it, and if it will not spoil the TV series for me, that's great!

Just read a rumour that

Merle is going to become the Governor

100% agreement. Great idea and setup, but it just isn't coming out right. So many parts are just horribly done, and its due to I think, either the writers or the actors. The lines are either really bad, or the actors are just messing them up badly. The only good actor seems to be the boondocks dude and maybe the older blond sister. But other than that, I tend to laugh at what is being done or said.

Less Rapist Shane, More Idiotic Shane

Shane isn't supposed to be a likable character, but his descent into madness makes a whole lot more sense when his anger gets put on the slow burner. When Rick rejoins his family (both in the comic and on TV), the tension with Shane is palpable. But as the TV episodes went on, Shane went from being a conflicted friend and poor leader to a rapist psychotic. We're not sure what the reasoning for this attack was ? did they want the audience to finally get on team Lori, or just truly hate Shane through-and-through? Either way, you could no longer feel sorry for Shane. In the book, Shane's fall is a bit slower. Shane casually hits on Lori with kindness, as opposed to the ultimatums he plops on her in the series.

7 scenes from The Walking Dead comic that should have been in the show

[Rappy Veteran]

Socyberty, a website I'm not familiar with, is reporting that Charlie Sheen is confirmed for a walk-on cameo role as a zombie is the second season of AMC's "The Walking Dead". They tell the story as follow: Sheen apparently told his publicist what a fan he was of the show recently, and the publicist, who also represents "Walking Dead" actor Jeffrey DeMunn, contacted one of the show?s producers and inquired if they were interested in allowing Sheen to be an extra on the film, playing the part of a zombie. The producer, himself a big fan of Sheen?s (terrible) show "Two and a Half Men," said ?Absolutely!? Upon hearing the news, Sheen was reportedly ecstatic, and has already cleared the shooting schedule with his "Two and a Half Men" duties. Season 2 is slated to air next October.

Finally watched the finale last night. I'm glad the grenade showed up again, I was going to write the series off if they never used it. :laugh:

As for what the doctor whispered to Rick, it has to be about the blood tests. Would be silly to spend all that time showing him do it not to use it in someway. And I don't think it's Lori's possible pregnancy, as that would become obvious without a blood test.

[qdave]

Just saw final episode as well. It is indeed a great show. An i will be certainly looking forward to next season.

As for secret whispered phrase...grrr :D

I say it time and time again, John Murphy's music is some of the best ever.

Love this show, but I had one big issue with the finale. Considering that the CDC is a super high tech self contained location, doesn't it make a little sense that they would have a natural gas reserve and or solar panels? The idea of such a high tech facility running on gasoline seems kind of... retarded?

I believe it was more of a fail safe than a power back-up system. The doctor explained that it was installed in the event of a terrorist attack or natural disaster, so nothing in the facility could be taken or spread.

[nubs]

Yes but the only reason it was doing so was because it was running out of power and therefore couldn't sustain the security. So if it had an unlimited supply of energy (Solar) it could remain functional indefinitely right?

Heh, I heard it and immediately thought of the movie Kickass, which he had a hand in as well.
