I just though i'd update this as the episodes go for people to talk about The Walking Dead and their opinions on the show and the comics.

Couple of links to keep you update and entertained..

Unsure of it's origins? Try WikipediaOr of course, start reading the comics yourself!

Try the game!

Information as it comes, UK website

The Official AMC website

So since i've started this as the second episode has come out feel free to discuss both the episodes so far, comics and what you hope to see happen in the upcoming episodes.

I've been rereading the comics recently and whilst watching the tv series i thought spotting the differences, as many as there are, was entertaining whilst enjoying the episodes.

Obviously i thought the first one was better, but not to take anything away from the second one which was good, but just didn't do it in some areas.

So OT, lets get your verdict so can get this discussion under way!

Did Merryl (Sp?) remind anyone else of an evil, twisted version of Francis?

Not impressed with the TV adaption at all. Over-rated.

anything that has a love triangle is mediocre because it's so over done. but I'll watch it anyways because there are no other zombie series on television that I'm aware of so it is interesting enough in that respect.

I was pleasantly surprised with the pilot and the subsequent episode, its certainly a very gripping series in more ways than one.

It's alright so far. Not that impressed, but it hasn't done anything to make me dislike it.

Great production values for a TV series. It's cool to see how much more in depth you can get about the situation when a zombie outbreak isn't confined to a 90 minute film.

Yeah, it'll be great to see the characters develop over a longer period of time.. So much potential for a show, but i hope they stick to the comics

One one hand, I've heard that the comics are great although I've never read them; on the other hand, the whole series would already be spoiled for fans of the comics if they stuck to it word-for-word.

What were you expecting, exactly? Most people would get bored if every episode consisted of no story and just non-stop zombie killing. You can go play Left 4 Dead if that's what you're looking for.

I've enjoyed the first two episodes although I found it odd that Rick seemed uninterested as to what caused this Zombie apocalypse. I don't recall him asking anyone questions regarding the situation and what happened.

How has no one gotten eaten by zombies in two episodes? I thought the apocalypse would be a little more dangerous I guess. The main character is also a very shallow, one-track hero mind, do-gooder. I don't really watch tv series, but the last few I've watched have had awesome main characters like Vic Mackey, Walter White, Tony Soprano and Dexter Morgan.

I've just caught the third episode.. i thought it was a great episode..

The characters, i feel, have developed quite a lot in this episode, you just get a feel for them now..

And although what he's done, i like Shane?

[spoiler] But not really Lori, blaming it all on Shane.. The scene where Rik returns made me well up, such a beautiful moment being reunited with his son! And Shane flipping out was a good scene too.. and the ending.. WOW! It was like something from saw :lol: Loved it! [/spoiler]

I really enjoyed the first episode. The second and third episodes were also enjoyable, but a bit annoying for reasons I can't put my finger on.

Yeah I gotta say I was on the edge of my seat moments before the reunion. How they would receive Rick still being alive. Crazy stuff.

Yeah, I haven't been this way since the early seasons of Heroes.

I like Chuck too, but since I'm always working when it's on it sort of kills the anticipation, since I just end up watching it at my leisure.
