[QUOTE=rnate;25938588]I don't think I'd watch the show if it was an exact replica of the comics, because I already know what's going to happen. Takes away from the suspense.[/QUOTE]
I'm not saying make an exact replica of the comic I just think that the approach they are taking on how the zombies react and handle themselves is completely different from the comics approach. I like the fact that they are bringing on new characters and developing some new plot points is great.
Side note: I really don't like the way Lori is currently, she's a slut.
Loved this episode.
Is it just me, or did anyone else try to make connections to L4D and L4D2?
My gf and I nearly threw up during the [sp]fire axe sequence[/sp]
It was almost too excessive, I was literally gagging with the sound effects they added. Ugghh...
I'm worried this show is just going to become a gore showcase more than a beautifully developed character study like the first episode was. It was the whole psychological aspect that got me into it originally.
The Axe scene wasn't that bad.

wow you must literally be a big giant pussy
lol yeah because not being desensitized to horrific gore makes me a pussy.
I love violent gory flicks. There was just something about that sequence that was gag worthy.

it wasnt even that bad. i mean it got on TV didn't it?
[QUOTE=JackBlacknes;25939879]it wasnt even that bad. i mean it got on TV didn't it?[/QUOTE]
Just because it's on TV doesn't mean it isn't bad. It's cable programming, they can do pretty much whatever the fuck they want, they're not restricted like network television.

I hate them, I actually can't watch saw and hostel, it disgusts me. Yet I still found that scene tame.
[QUOTE=Mabus;25939906]I hate them, I actually can't watch saw and hostel, it disgusts me. Yet I still found that scene tame.[/QUOTE]
Saw and Hostel are awful. I'm talking about violence and gore in general. Like most action movies, maybe even suspense like Silence of the Lambs. Hell, even Dawn of the Dead (the newer one). That's probably the closest I can equate a film to The Walking Dead. And that was a [i]gory[/i] movie.

You seem to be under the impression that a TV series/movie can suddenly lose all of its physiological aspects just from one gore scene. Also they didnt blindly cut zombies open just for the sake of doing it and 'showcasing' their gore, there was a reason and plot to it.
Why are we arguing, I don't hate this show, I'm a fan. All I said is I'm worried they become too caught up in the special effects aspect for the "FUCK YEAH GORE" crowd and lose what is seemingly making the show unique, the character development and psychological survival aspect of it being a real, believable situation.
No one is arguing broseph, we're just discussing.

Axe doesn't slice through wood, it takes repeated hacks with a lot of force behind it to get through.

I've taken an axe to a pigs neck before. Took two swings to get all the way through.

an axe splits wood, it doesn't slice through it.

Yeah, I understand what you mean. But I did still feel bad for the half zombie lady on the 1st episode, so I'd say they're still doing a good job. And yes Lori is a dumb broad so far.

That didn't take them long to decide. The show must be doing extremely well.

Not surprising since this is a amazing TV series. Only Series i watch is Dexter and this.
Did anyone enjoy the second episode much more than the first? I know they were aiming for something more character developmenty/emotional in the first, but it just didn't connect with me.

Your point being? The neck bone is much easier to split than a block of wood.

[QUOTE=Jack_Thompson;25936817]Fuck yeah, Glenn!
Anyone else bugged by the brick zombies at all?[/QUOTE]
The zombies aren't mindless in this show, they retain some of their human memories.
For example the zombie starting to climb the ladder really slowly in ep2
the brick zombie
the zombies climbing the fence
the zombies trying to open the door using the doorknob in ep1

It really wasn't that Gorey, But it also adds to character development if you payed attention to when he pulls out his wallet and they start to talk about the person life before he became a zombie.Things like that adds to emotional appeal makes you feel for the characters and the zombies. Its a zombie drama, There going be gore but it's not going be one them pointless gore only type movies/shows.

I thought this episode was a lot better, the ending was actually a good scene.
Let's hope the current amount of viewer stay, although I'm guessing it'll settle at around 3 - 3.5 mill per episode.

But it was such a cliff hanger. What happens to Glenn, where does he go? What happens to Rick, where do they plan on going? What happens to Racist Francis?

Well, according to IMDb, both Glenn and Francis will be back.

They did that to keep people watching the show and it works.
The suspense of waiting for next week is what makes a good series great.
Episode 2 had some really cheesy directing and acting.
"When I find my wife and son, I will tell them about *thatdeadguy*", <- The most cheesy line.
