How do you feel about that? Good or bad?

I was never really a fan of Kirkman's writing in the comic. However he seems to be penning a few episodes as well so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

IIRC I think Amy and Glenn got into a relationship in the comic (I'm not 100% sure it was Amy) but now she is dead.
 
Last night's episode had the highest ratings so far at 5.6-million viewers (US). The season finale airs on the 5th.

Good news--not only has a second season been optioned, it will be 13 episodes rather than 6.
 
Did anyone notice the use of Kanada's Death Pt. 2 (Adiago in D Minor), the theme to the film Sunshine (highly recommended, same director as 28 Days Later, coincidentally) that was also in Kickass? Shame they used it for an uneventful drive. Probably would've been better suited to the end of the episode as Rick is losing his shit and the door opens up.

When you see the rest of the story you'll understand why the slow moving zombies are more suited to TWD than they were for say the Dawn remake in 2004 (28 Days/Weeks later don't count because those were people with a virus), literally and metaphorically.

Oh lol I liked that movie.

I'll try to give this a look too.
 
Zach Snyder's Dawn of the Dead was pretty decent. I didn't mean to infer it was bad.

A second zombie movie by Snyder has been talked about for a couple of years. At one point Army of the Dead was supposedly in pre-production but that didn't go anywhere. Has a 2013 tag on it on IMDB but I don't know much more than that.
 
The writing staff for the show has been fired.

:dunno:

Maybe it has something to do with episode five. Remember when the RV breaks down and they talk at length about how it can't be repaired easily? Then suddenly they arrive in downtown Atlanta in it? Huh.

Expect Darabont & Kirkman to take over most of the writing.
 
There's also been talks that freelancers will take over a show every now and then to write the scripts. The plus side to that is seeing creative artistry, and the downside is seeing crap every now and then.

not quite sure how i feel.
 
So... the season finished with the CDC blowing up and a few people letting it take them with it. Most of the survivors have escaped back into Atlanta to resume their nomadic lifestyle.

AMC has optioned a second season but there is a report out that the cast has been contracted for multiple seasons. Sounds like they are going to continue on with this group while adding a few of the main characters from the comic.

Just as a preview for people enjoying the show who haven't read the comic, here are a couple of characters we're likely to meet in the second season, supposedly airing in the second half of 2011.



Michonne

Tyreese

I've heard Tyreese being THE character everyone is speculating about. Who do you think they'll cast?
 
I love that they kept the Shane-Lori-Rick storyline open for the next season.

And whats the plot for the next season? Just riding around from city-to-city?
 
And it sucks we have to wait until October 2011 for the 2nd season. That's one hell of a gap.

Supposedly they have already cast a guy with a serial killer name, Keith Allen Hayes.

If they go back to the source material, they will wind up either at a farm or a prison next. Either way they should be leaving Atlanta behind and going rural.

Thats shitty casting.

Would have been fucking badass if they got Chiwetel Ejiofor but thats a pipedream.

^ I was thinking of a bigger guy, Chad Coleman from The Wire.

Funny, cause he was my 2nd choice.

But Chiwetel could act circles around him so thats why I went with him.

I am speculating that this has more to do with Kirkman than anything else, he's stated before that he never wanted to go into how the Zombie apocalypse came to be and the show totally went that direction towards the end of the first season, that is unless he wrote those episodes then iam totally wrong..i dont know though i didnt pay attention to the credits.
 
^ Interesting point. Could be the case.


Also, TWD closed the season with record-breaking ratings for the channel (AMC) at six-million viewers. TWD's ratings are double that of Mad Men, the channel's premier show. TWD is the most watched drama series in basic cable history in the 18-49 demo, which is basically the cash money crowd.
