The Walking Dead is being shown here on the 21st October on the FX channel i think.

I loved the first series but with one complaint,not enough zombie action.Too much on character development i though,but what we horror buffs want is some zombie stuff,not love relationships and squabbling folk,get some blood flowing and let the bullets fly,that's what i want.

IMO what made the series so good is exactly what you didn't like. In order to sustain a story you need more than constant death and destruction. You have to have somebody to care about and root for.

Well, if you possess a normal set of human emotions you do, anyway.

Walking Dead shows on AMC, BTW, not FX.

I agree with NE. I don't want constant death and destruction, I also want a story behind it. I somehow missed out on the first season - I think I was working in CT - but started watching it on Netflix. Watched the first episode yesterday. I hope to catch up on all of them this week, before the premiere on Sunday.

Back in Blighty it is on FX,you are talking stateside.

I agree to a certain extent that character development is important but i found there was too much of it.Take another look at the first series,honestly,how much zombie action was there,if i am to be honest not a great deal,apart from the opening episode that is which was great.

I agree.

The show is intended to be character centered over effects.

Supposedly they wanted for season 2 to have more indoor shooting and more implied horror (hearing zombies outside without showing them, etc...) to save money so seeing how the show is really a character study with a horrific backdrop - this might actually play in their favor.

Anthropophagus
10-12-2011, 08:46 AM
I`m all in favour of characterisation but not for the majority of the show.It is the same for other series like Heroes and Lost for example,far too much time is on characters that when something happens it is a long time coming.

All i am asking is for more zombie action thats all.

Just watched the third episode. More character driven than zombie. I think you saw two zombies. But that's OK, because I got caught up in the story of the sheriff's deputy finding his wife and son, and wondering if he would figure out that his best friend is boinking his wife. :D

I think they like to pad out a story to make a series out of something.By having love triangles and or people with a hidden agenda it takes time to develop,BUT,as a horror fan and a zombie lover what i want is some action.

Yes,you can still have the story but it doesn't have to take over four fifth`s of the show.If i want story's like this i can watch a re-run of the Walton's or Little House on the Prairie.:)

Maybe it'll appeal a bit more after you turn fifteen.
:D

But seriously, having read the comic from beginning to the current issues as they've come out I can see the only reason it's had the longevity it does is on account of the fact it's not just a single event/place covered...it's not just people running from zombies or focussed upon one attack or a survival situation.
That works in movies, sure. I've never much felt the need for an above average plot in a zombie film...surely you can't expect to have an emotional connection to zombie fodder etc, though in the ongoing sense of the comic and (hopefully) the tv show, I don't think it's a negative.
I mean if you look at it this way, it's a lot higher a zombie action percentage than the average NON-zombie show, right?
If it was all action/flesh eating/zombie killing...it just wouldn't be able to last, it would be pretty stupid if it were actually drawn out, the plotlines would become thinner and thinner and yeah...essentially while you can expect that from a zombie movie it's the wrong expectation from the get go with something like this.
Having read the series upon which it's based though, I can tell you there is a LOT more action to come...there will be death and mayhem, much violence and splatter enough to satisfy any zombie fan.
Some of the more interesting threats come from other things too.

I thought the first episode of season two was GREAT. There were a couple places where I thought the dialogue was a little bit cheesy in the soap opera scenes, but overall, I thought it was exciting, suspenseful, and just the right amount of zombie action.

IMO, I think the sparing use of zombies makes it more "realistic." In this situation what you're trying to do is AVOID zombies, so it's more realistic if they only show up occasionally.

They're actually not in the comics... And to be honest, those stereotype two-dimensional characters bothered me.

I think the show is just ok - I'm not a fan of the actor playing Rick and the kid playing his son is just awful. The wife is unlikeable as are most of the characters to me.

Maybe it 's just because I read the comics, but I feel myself more sitting and waiting for plot points that may or may not surface instead of enjoying the show.

Also - The drama drives me CRAZY - Hated it in the comic too - Probably because I find most of the characters to be whiney and annoying... At least the comics didn't start off with this much drama - They started with a bang actually and I wish there was more action in the show.

But seriously it's no different than the original Romero trilogy and I don't hear people complaining about those films not having enough action.

I didn't mind the Dawn of the Dead remake when it came out but these days I find it way to dumbed down (thematically it's quite insulting) and flashy (to the extent the violence has no impact because it's happening all the time).

I will admit I just started with the 2nd season. I am slowly watching the 1st season on DVD as I just purchased. I will admit I am not to wild about Shane still being alive but the writers are doing a fantastic job with keeping him around so I can overshadow that.

Right now I love it but I am getting a bit annoyed on how they are dragging the Sophia issue to be honest.

Couldn't agree more.

Honestly, I'm all for character development - I actually like it in my horror, too... But I find these characters INSIPID AND BORING.

Not gonna lie - I wouldn't shed single a tear if Laurie and Carl suddenly disappeared - It wouldn't even have to make sense to the plot. They could just NOT SHOW UP in the next episode and I would be fine with it. Can't stand either of them... Then again, I found them both two-dimensional and annoying in the comic, too, but one would think that with the third dimension of TV the writers would have made a decision to make them LESS WHINY AND ANNOYING!

I enjoyed this last episode, but I have to say this season is really dragging. I think the loss of Frank Darabont and the writers might have done the series in.

It's funny that you brought it up - I just watched it on AMC's website.

I really don't like the direction they're taking Shane. Although the scene with Carol - when he was washing her off - was kind of touching. I was shocked at what happened to Laurie (trying not to give anything away here) and at what Rick did at the end. In all, not a bad episode, but it didn't blow me away, either.

Well, I liked this episode, though I've enjoyed most of them. I've never read the comics, so I can't complain about this change or that change, and I still like that it's different from every other zombie movie or show before... I like the emphasis on drama. I'll admit that at times the drama is a bit forced, but generally it comes off as true for me.

Exactly...hey have to sustain a series, not just a movie...for this to happen there needs to be more depth than wave after wave of zombie attacks.
Also as someone that's followed the comics, I can tell you that the zombies are not the only threat to expect.
Because of elements like this, the comic has survived into it's 93rd issue so far...if it were just about a prolonged zombie attack it would not be running any more. There are some truly excellent characters and some terrible situations to come yet.
It's a post-apocalyptic drama set in a world over-run by zombies...I mean if you lived in this situation, wouldn't you attempt to avoid them too, and take yourself away from constant danger?

I have heard that while he wasn't actually in the comic, Daryl has become popular among viewers of the show, so much so that Kirkman has plans to introduce his character to the comic as well.

Elvis_Christ
02-17-2012, 08:16 PM
Daryl's rad. Definitely my favourite character and his development as a character has been more interesting than the rest of the group.

-------

Enjoyed the last episode and thought it was really good. I dug how it concentrated on the danger of other people rather than the zombies. The show has become quite a good post-apocalyptic styled tale. I honestly don't get the complaints for this show especially when rubbish like The River is gracing the screen atm.

TheWickerFan
02-18-2012, 01:36 AM
I don't need constant zombie attacks, but the characters need to at least be somewhat in peril. The show has slowed to a crawl since they arrived at that farmhouse, and I'm really hoping they will move on. Also, the majority of the characters are becoming annoying to the point that I really wouldn't care if they died.

cheebacheeba
02-18-2012, 02:01 AM
They kind of are in peril...they know what's "out there" and they've faced the constant possibility of being kicked back out, having members of their own (and now the other) party at eachothers throats to the point that there WILL be violence, or the having to make the choice to become killers simply to secure a place/places for their own.
I get that it's a fairly slow burn not always high on action, but it's more about the emotional turmoil at the moment, of living among strangers in a pretty diverse group with hugely differing ideologies.
The volatility of human nature, the cause and effect that can make a rational person go into a very dark place, and the constant knowledge that even though they might not be right on the attack all the time, zombies are there and any decision even on where to sleep could be their last - I think the idea is, we're meant to be contemplative of the kind've tension that would arise in a situation like this...and yes, things WILL boil over...
The show isn't called "The Walking Dead" on account of the zombies.

I garauntee, anyone that sticks with this show will not be disappointed - and how the Shane situation comes to a head WILL leave you in shock and awe.

SO much good stuff to come, so many rich characters yet to be introduced and properly explored...this will serve zombie horde fans and character study fans alike very well.
It's all well worth the build-up.

I mean c'mon folks, even without zombies, it's hardly the most boring show out there.
I think expectations are the only thing setting a lot of people back.

I'll stick it out. I haven't read the original stories, so I have no clue what's to come.

I will stick with it just for completion but it seriously needs to pick up,the first half of this second series has been woeful.

I honestly don't get the complaints for this show especially when rubbish like The River is gracing the screen atm.

I like The River. It's supposed to be a short run show too so I hope we get some closure and not a cliffhanger ending.

I look forward to The Walking Dead every week. It's a human nature show. But I think all of the best zombie movies are like that. I'm was surprised that Rick didn't shoot Shane during the barn incident. It's at the point where things will come to blows.

Also, the knowledge that zombies are out there is still very scary. I'm sure that farm is not safe. I can't believe the zombies didn't show up after all the shooting at the barn. But there is that swamp that they get stuck in. Maybe the whole farm area is protected somehow.

Yes,the first episode of the second half of this series was better,but wasnt that the same as the first episode,then they found the farm and it all went down hill fast.I can only hope they leave that damn barn and find somewhere else to do all their bickering.

Neither was I, at all...very different from how things went in the comic.

I haven't read the comic, so I have no expectations. But, I really wasn't expecting that.

I haven't read the comic either and was surprised by the ending too. I will say that zombie must have super strength and smell.

Hence, the reason I didn't say what the surprise was. I know people don't watch shows right away. Didn't want to give it away, just in case.

The build up finally happened last night. Plus, all of my concerns about the show were answered as well. I can't wait for next week's episode.

A good way to end the season. I thought it was going to be another Night of the Living Dead but one of the characters had common sense. Also, at first I thought the reveal of the secret from the end of the first season was weak. But after thinking about it again, it's messed up.

I'm quite looking forward to how they handle the prison arc, and to see some (hopefully) familiar faces pop into the series.
I'm also looking forward to seeing the differences between the story I know and the one I've yet to see - The comic fans (though I am one) by and large seem to hate that things are quite different, though I'm liking it - I don't want to see a carbon copy of the comic, if I did, well I wouldn't watch.

That said I was a touch disappointed with how the Shane thing ended, if only by comparison to how they had it in the comic...again, I'm not against changes, but (I guess only those that have read it will get this) how it happened in the comic was a rather pivotal point for the other character involved, and the path they follow from that point onwards.
The Shane event being the catalyst or at very least partially, I can't help but think now we're going to miss out on some of the more chilling and interesting elements to said character.
Ah well.

I still think they're doing a great job and have very little to complain about...actually I haven't found any cause to complain at all.
I enjoy the show every time I watch.
