    If this was a series which jumped forward a few years then I say Carl's gonna be much more adapted to this world than even Daryl, but I think that it i a show that will run for 5 or so seasons and will come to a conclusion without jumping ahead in time.

    That being said even though I said in a previous post that I think the baby will be the cure for the whole infection (and got slated for spoiling the whole series for people :confused:) could you imagine how long it would actually take for the cure to be given to everyone in the world, especially given the mess the whole world is in at the moment. I mean firstly you've to find a way to mass manufacture the cure .... which would be an achievement in itself, then find survivors to give it to ... all the while killing walkers :eek:

    i think people are kind of not getting the point of the show if they are thinking there's going to be a cure, or some sort of "save the day" moment in TWD.
    it ain't that kind of story.
    some characters might end up not completely and utterly ****ed but the human race as we understand it is done for, the story is about how the characters deal with that.. not how they try to solve it.

    I didnt get the impression that people here are expecting a save the day moment. what made u think that?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    ive seen a few comments about a cure for the disease, maybe in the other TWD thread as well

    I probably should have said
    "i think *some* people" but then i was worried they'd think i was being a dick and singling them out

    I've read the comics (up to 94 anyway), but I don't think they'll go that route, the tv show is a different beast to the comic.

    superb finale, i have high expectations for season 3, must say this show has stepped it up a notch since darabont left,

    im happy all my favourite caracters survived, thought andrea was done for there for a minute, thankfully she was spared for now,

    WOW over 100 pages, really goes to show the differing of opinions on the show more than anything,


  • Registered Users Posts: 730 ✭✭✭Hygro


    Just flicked back though the comics ... they left the farm after 12 issues and without any zombie attack (basically after they freed the walkers in the barn)!!! .... not as exciting as the tv show anyway :D

    I would never tell anyone not to read the comics.

    In my opinion, the comics are just as enjoyable if not more so than the tv show, finding out what happens through that medium is no less enjoyable than the tv show.


    I've read up to 80 as that's all that was out when I was reading them but I'm gonna start reading 80-94 now, it's a fantastic comic and well worth reading.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,924 ✭✭✭wonderfullife


    i havent read the comics but i know 1 thing - tv viewers are more prone to resolution and endings. Whilst there may never be a 'cure' and a happily-ever-after resolution, at the very least the show will end with some sort of "hope". If the virus is airborne then it wont matter if it is passed from mother to baby, the baby will still get infected. Possibly, eventually, the tv show might go down the route of some sort of Quarantined area somewhere where people can pop out kids left n right to try keep the human race going.

    The concept of a cure basically blows the show apart, as then it just becomes a case of innoculating everyone, the end.

    yes they are excellent, but as much as the show annoys me from time to time I still watch it

    I don't think its a good idea by users who have read the the walking dead posting what they think might happen based on the comics, as posters reading this thread who haven't read any walking dead will be mightily pissed off at the spoilers

    Just reading there it got over 9 Million viewers for the Season Finale on AMC, so seems to be a ratings winner for the network!

    Last few episodes have been very good, esp the finale. Rick start to grow a pair and Daryl is probably my favourite character. When I seen ninja lady with the two "slaves" I had no idea wtf was going on. Looking forward to next season. The prision looks like it could be a decent setting just hope its not a bore until the end like theis season.

    more like a ratings powerhouse, their other shows breaking bad and mad men are massive shows also, yet only draw 2-3 million viewers for AMC,

    both are considered far superior to TWD, i dont watch MM but BB is probably one of the greatest shows of all time, it is a rather odd thing to say the least, but at least we know well get at least 5 seasons out of the show, if not more,

    After hearing so many people speak so highly of breaking bad I decided to watch it. On Season 3 at the moment about 6 episodes in and although its a good show, it didnt blow me away. To be honest I think its extremely overrated if the general consensus is that its going down in the books as an all time great.

    i do think sometimes coming into any show with hype will leave you feeling cold towards the show\movie


    try to forget the hype as BB is slow moving but its one for thinking about between episodes, week to week viewing of BB adds a lot

    Wouldn't it be great that once in the prison,Lori gets attacked & eaten by a zombie version of Michael from Prison Break.

    Nope, he was a terrible actor, not even believable as a zombie

    Ok, T-Bag then with a zombie teenager hanging onto his pocket.

    On the topic of Lori,yes she was shocked by Rick's confession of killing Shane,but his revelation of Carl putting down zombie Shane really hit a nerve with her.It seemed to be a point of innocence lost as Carl killed for the first time:he little boy is no more.
    The real drawback of this now is that we'll have 3 episodes of her analyzing her relationship and whining about how Rick corrupted her son and made him a killer.

    Start of season 2 was really poor imo - really boring, not much happening.

    The second part of the season rocked, like a different show.

    Really enjoyed the finale and can't wait for season 3.
