The Walking Dead - General - Facepunch Forum

[quote=Jacob_sword]Ok but the show is about people living in a zombie apocalypse but what about the zombies in the last episode if I remember there was only one big confrontation with zombies and that was at the camp and it was only 1 zombie if you make a show about zombies and try to draw in the crowd of zombie fans then make it more about zombies the first episodes is a great example of this.[/quote] Yeah....no. It's been said a fuckton of times before, The Walking Dead is about the people, their lives and how they deal with the apocalypse and shit, not about the zombies.

Go watch Dawn of the Dead...

[QUOTE=johan_sm;26120388]If I wanted interaction between characters, I'd watch some drama. Here I want zombies. Spending most of the episode interacting is boring.[/QUOTE] Have you even read the comics? Jesus.

[QUOTE=Spacewolf;26139434]Have you even read the comics? Jesus.[/QUOTE] No I have not read the comics but I have skimmed them and if I had the money I would buy them.

God damn man, use some fucking punctuation.

And common sense. If I wanted a simple zombie show, I would watch a zombie movie.

[QUOTE=rnate;26138207] Did you know a TV show can be about [b]anything[/b] IT'S CRAZY! Also, AMC's motto is "story matters here" so something tells me...the story will matter. Ever watch Breaking Bad? The 2 main characters cook meth in it, but just like this show, the whole show doesn't revolve around them cooking meth, it revolves around their lives as people.[/QUOTE] Breaking Bad is fucking amazing. The writing is top notch. [editline]18th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=cephalopoid;26142428]Again, my system is upheld. I know to avoid you.[/QUOTE] Thanks for telling.

How many times do we see the shark in Jaws? Not many, that's part of what makes it more suspenseful If we had all zombie attacks all the time on this show it'd get old fast. Face it, either someone gets bit or they don't- there's nowhere else to go with zombie attacks. On the other hand, by setting characters and their interactions, they can take the story more places. The dynamics are more interesting. The movies can get away with barricade stories because they only have two hours to fill. They can blow their wad on one last awesome zombie attack and leave the audience happy. The tv show expects to go on for not just episodes but multiple SEASONS(series to the UKers). That have to portion out the zombies accordingly.

The zombies can cause a lot of the problems for the survivors but not all, what they actually have to worry about the most is each other. If you do not get this concept then you should go watch some action movie that has no plot to it at all or play some sort of game. Like AMC says "story matters here."

Hey guys, is it true there are only going to be six episodes (three more)?

If you are, you shouldn't be watching Walking Dead. Also, if you can't watch a TV show about people (it's not about zombies - name one zombie you know by name from the show), then grow up. Get some patience. Seriously, who wants to watch a TV show about nameless people who hack stuff up. Boring.

Those are just a few.

You don't make any sense.

[editline]18th November 2010[/editline] I'm a fan of all of those movies/games you mentioned, and this show is top-notch for me.

[QUOTE=Jacob_sword;26145297]I don't hate the show I'm just saying that it could use more Zombies less Drama.[/QUOTE] That's what this show is, though; what makes it unique. It's a drama with zombies. [editline]18th November 2010[/editline] If you don't like the fact it's a drama, just completely forget the show exists and stop watching it. Adding more zombies wouldn't do anything good.

This movie is so politically correct. It has all races in it, whites, africans, indians, asians. Also, that half bald black woman is so FUGLY!

[QUOTE=whiteguyV2;26145731]This movie is so politically correct. It has all races in it, whites, africans, indians, asians. Also, that half bald black woman is so FUGLY![/QUOTE] That's the way the comic was.

This topic is about people who A: Understand metaphor. B: People who don't understand metaphor. In other words, people who "get it" and people who "don't get it." If you actually do understand and "get it" but don't like the show anyway, there are a number of us here who would engage in a discussion about the show's merits. However, if you're "moar zombiz plees!," then you are in category B. Most here consider people in category B as trolls and idiots. Have a nice day!

The graphic novels have taught me how awesome a weapon a hammer makes in a zombie apocalypse. [img]http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/hammer-1.jpg[/img]

Best weapon in Zombie apocalypse is the crowbar, if you dont think so, read The Zombie Survival Guide :P

In giving Homage, I'd say the best weapon is a Cricket-bat. In all seriousness, I'd say the best is probably a Machete.
