    Prison
    That was a good arc in the comics.

    Could be wrong but
    for ages they had been talking about getting to the prison this season. I imagine they'll leave it for the end of it or the appearance of The Governer will be last shot of the finale.

    just got through reading those trade paperbacks of that arc and TBH im DYING to see just how much theyll get away with doing as theres some feirce harsh stuff in it.

    i can practically see the lobby groups lining up to give out about it if they stick to it.

    great thing about that arc though is if they DO follow it theres plenty of scope to expand on it.

    it really would make for an amazing full third season with some fleshing out. the end would just leave people completly thrown as to where the series would be going next.

    If I learned anything from Series 1 it's
    do not expect the series to closely follow the comics. I mean Andrea hasn't even discovered she's a gifted sharp shooter yet ffs.

    I enjoyed the last season a lot. I did however think episode 2 was weak in parts and the CDC parts of 5/6 just didn't work for me. The comics are best when they show claustrophobic desperation and a constant sense of "death closing in".

    This desperation never really came across in the 1st series all that much bar the first episode which to my mind was the strongest episode of the season.

    With luck now that the scene is set, Season 2 can get on with some nice horror, impossibly difficult choices and general zombie mayhem! Only 1 more week!

    I never thought of zombies as having a sexual orientation, either hetero or homo. Curiosity is getting the better of me now, will I be grossed out?

    Very solid opener, jaysus that was a TENSE scene when everyone was under the cars and hoards of zombies were walking by!...some cheesy dialogue in parts, dislike the church praying crap. I assume that end is Hershel's farm right?....what happens there exactly?....Lauren Cohan?....woot!

    Jaysus i hope she gets her kit off!!!!!!....does the kid survive?...dosen't he die in the comics?, yeah i really enjoyed that, though bit of a con @ only 63 mins!...blah, so much for 90, damn adds!

    I saw a definate budget decrease!, some cheesy effect shots, lack of GCI gore and sparce CGI scenes, it felt and looked cheaper....Darabont was right to fight his corner over this, but the suits won and not only that fired him!, shambles.

    3.5/5

    I think you can forget the comics as a reference point on how the plot will progress as there is only a broad outline similarity between the TV show and the comics. For example some members of the group should be dead by now if they followed the comics but it seems they're going their own way (e.g. the CDC wasn't in the comics) and that's a good thing imo as it would be too predictable if they just slavishly followed the plot the comic readers already know.

    I'm not too bothered about how good the cgi or effects look so long as the story is good and I thought this was a good solid opener, not spectacular and not as good as last year's pilot but better than some of the latter episodes of the first series. Give me good story and somewhat ropey effects over excellent effects and crap story any day.

    Still when
    are they going to discover Andrea is a natural sharpshooter? Do it already!

    what the ****

    dudes standing on top of a van, with all the open space ahead of him. and he doesnt see the zombies at the start until they're right on top of them? yeah it makes for good drama but let's at least try to be a tiny bit realistic about things that aren't reanimated dead bodies walking around.

    Yes it is, barn full o' zombies and no he doesn't.
    ;)

    I like that they don't just follow the books though. That way no-one's in a position where they can't be written out.

    Good episode overall but tbh felt that the search&rescue thing was a bit drawn out. He could also probably have ran back to camp with the kid, those zombies ain't exactly speedy.

    Actually expected the kid at the end to get malled by the deer rather than what happened!

    i think thats a big thing about rick he always comes up with the wrong plan, he has good intentions but just does things wrong all the time that keep getting them in trouble, like he could obviously outrun the zombies but he doesnt think and hides the girl while he kills the zombies,

    yeah the 90 minutes included ads

    i liked it for the most part except the church scene, always hate when shows go religious, but i suppose theres a lot of religious people out there, but it baffles me how people can believe in a situation like that,

    7.2 million going up to 11 including the repeat, unprecedented numbers for AMC id say,

    thats budget increase numbers right there, id say get bigger sets and expand the cast if anything, im not to bothered with ropey CGI as long as it can convey the purpose of whats supose to happen well,

    Great first episode back. I'm pretty sure I stopped breathing during the herd scene (nice nod the comics there :) ). Speaking of the comics, what's the rule with spoilers in this thread? Richard Dower is quite openly talking about comic related stuff. For anyone who has read them, it's plain to see that the TV show diverges from the comic but many elements are still maintained e.g.
    Andrea will be the sharpshooter we love, Rick is already on the road to a meltdown, Carl get's shot (albeit in slightly different circumstances)
    and therefore should be kept well spoiler taged.

    I enjoyed the bits in the church. I disagree with don ramo, in times like this, people are desperate for hope and religion is a something a lot of people will be drawn to. It's like marmite, a zombie apocalyse will either throw you to religion or make you feel "how could there be a God in this world".
