The Walking Dead

[dum]

I was bored to tears by then, in all likeliness I was literally face-palming as the clip of the photo was shown Indeed, the 'run along and do your chores hunny' bit was quite a bombshell

Plus I streamed it.

Plus some of you cunts have read the graphic novel.

Plus why the FUCK should we be concerned about a plotline like this ?

[LoopStationZebra]

ya, I should feel like an idiot for losing track of the soap-opera plotline of who's kissing who

Still though - I'm not convinced the wife & kid featured were Rick's. The 'pop' reference is what sold it to me.

I'm gonna watch episode 2 just to time how long it takes for someone to start weeping on screen, so I'll be keeping an eagle eye out on this riveting cheating wife plotline.

Of course, because you have ZERO imagination you can't see that the affair exists in the story to set up some nastiness later on... Seriously, I'd stick to docudramas like Unseen Gaza if I were you. Fiction is definitely a challenge for you.

well no fucking shit. The events that transpire in a television show are setups for later events. *golf-clap* ... you're a genius. How you setup the nastiness is where the skill is, the setups in this show come straight from a soap-opera. or grey's anatomy. or scrubs. or house. or whatever other waste of time show you watch religiously. The shit's the exact same across the board, the only thing that changes is the costume.

loopsie ? are you there ?

come back and listen to how shit & formulaic your favourite shows (and by association - you) are!

[razorblade]

Geez...Dum manages to get it completely backwards...why am I not surprised?

They set up the whole cheating wife thing in the very first scene, when Rick was bitching about his wife being remote and bitchy, and his partner had a brief look of guilt flash across his face.

But here...just to clarify, is the cast list...

Spoiler : Rick is Mormon, they are all his wife.

Spoiler 2: the "plot" is actually spoilerproof because it is so damn obvious a dog could have written it.

[dum]

why am I not surprised?

Easy.
Because you're a fan of the piece of shit which I'm slating.

And I guess you're missing the fact that my main criticism of this turd from the very start has been that walking dead is little more than grey's anatomy with brief moments of zombie. Considering that's the main element of my criticism it really shouldn't boggle anyone's mind that after a fucking hour of watching this shit I completely abandoned focus on the 'pertinent' details of who's kissing who. Plus I honestly never clocked that photo.

I love how you fans are throwing this in my face as if my criticisms are somehow moot as a result. On the contrary, they are fucking bolstered as a result.

Anyway, cheers for the link, but I did my own googling after it became clear some of the 'superfans' have been doing the same or have read the comic series/graphic novels.

And unsurprisingly - today's buzzword - it seems the production team have the go ahead for future series', 12/13 episodes each. Fucking drama city - it's been confirmed.

this.

[dum]

As I was googling I read a couple reviews too, seems this show is quite a hit with the ladies.


just sayin.

Well, there ya go again...pulling random assumptions out of yer ass.

I wouldn't call myself a fan...I just watched both episodes yesterday, and haven't been overwhelmed by it either yet...I prefer my zombies a little more tweeked out.

But at least I was able to figure out the character relationships without needing it explained.

Constant random zombie gore may be great in 90 minute doses, but if you are going for a series, the characters need to be fleshed out... Of course if you are a videogame geek with the attention span of a 12 year old with ADD, I can see how that "Grey's anatomy" shit would just bog you down.

With so much really horrible crap being produced, I can at least appreciate the intent to do something a little out of the box for US tv, even if it isn't groundbreaking zombie stuff. At least it's not another fucking cop show.

As for the chicks digging it...maybe if you didn't act like that was a bad thing, you might get laid occasionally, and not be such a grouchy old fart.

Constant random zombie gore ? There you go stretching things to destruction. You don't have a strong argument, do you ? And another Genius who thinks the TV formula is a mystery. Anyway I have already provided what I think is a far superior zombie series. There's no need for your far-fetched exaggerations of what you suppose I must favour instead of The Walking Turd, watch Dead Set to see what I want from a zombie TV series. You know it's possible to run with the tv formula and not turn the zombie apocalypse into another cookie-cutter drama turd ? Ya, it's possible.

The rest of your 'argument' ...brilliant. There's worse shit on TV. Bravo! And I'm sure you watch enough of it.
The getting laid bit - yep - nice one. Here's a worthy retort: Yo Momma!


At the end of the day upwardly mobile middle class american chicks with a typewriter have never been my barometer of quality zombie entertainment.

And once again you would be wrong. Only thing on my regular tivo list are Dexter and Sons of Anarchy, and I'm a couple of weeks behind on both.

Unlike you, I have a life, and actually spend time interacting with real people, including women.

What is it like to constantly be making the wrong assumptions about, well, everything? No wonder you're such an unpleasant little wanker.

And trust me...even though my momma is 83 and blind, she still wouldn't f#ck you.

[dum]

Dexter ? Sons of Anarchy ?
...am I supposed to be bowled over by your discerning taste ?
My assumptions it seems are right on the money!

It's quite fascinating that by slating a TV show, people are taking such apparent personal offense.

I have a life

on my regular tivo list

Oxymoron much ?

I have a life, and actually spend time interacting with real people, including women.

Wow, that's noteworthy and worth mentioning on the internet.

[razorblade]

I see your point.

Maybe if you combed your hair differently, or wore a really tall hat, you could hide it.

[dum]

You know what butterknife ? You aint half bad.
