I didn't see a thread dedicated to this show and I think it deserves it. I loved the graphic novels and so far have been really enjoying the show. I am a little dissapointed with the very end of last nights episode but I figured it was only a matter of time. For those of you that don't know what "The Walking Dead" is, it's a zombie apocalypse show on AMC. Currently airs on Sunday nights.

So far I have enjoyed the fact that they are not following the graphic novels to the letter. A lot of things are different so I won't know exactly what is going to happen. The core of the story is about how people would react and change if the world went to **** and it was all about survival of the fittest. A lot of it is phycho mumbo jumbo...some people trying to hang on to what life was like before the end and others adapting to survive at all costs.

Either way...right now The Walking Dead ranks #1 in my list of favorite shows and will likely stay there until it is over.

So they finally got season 2 going? I've been through one and really enjoyed it but then I stopped hearing anything about it from anyone.

Yeah season 2 started last October. They had a several month "break" and the second half of season 2 started up again a few weeks ago. The episodes are available through Hulu and also through the AMC website as well if I am not mistaken.

Awesome comic. Not really a fan of the TV show.

I like the show, it is fun to watch. Some of the internal group conflict seems a bit forced at times, that's my only complaint about it.

Season one was a test to see if it would be successful. Since it was AMC's blockbuster show they renewed for Season 2. When the season premier of Season 2 broke cable records for their target demographic they immediately signed for Season 3. With Season 2 almost over with 2 episodes to go I think I will be going through withdrawals untill Season 3 hits us likely this October.

My only gripe is that they killed the only cute girl (IMO) in the group.

Meh...I felt the same way in Season 1 but fret not because in Season 2 there is an even hotter chick that replaces her. My current gripe is what happened at the end of last nights episode...but I won't ruin it for anybody.

^ Was it shown on last night's episode that the whole Walking Dead is a clever advertising show. Designed by the Mad Men, to help shoes sell better.

Marketing ploy and clever advertisement space-did anyone else have that screaming in their head when they opened up that gerber survival knife set?

Love the show... as for product placement I would consider it very tame.

For anyone who has seen the show White Collar, that is a show built entirely around advertising Ford automobiles... every episode has 2 or 3 several seconds long shots of various Ford features Roll

Great series. For those of you who missed the start of Series 2, you can Like the Walking Dead facebook page and view the episodes on there (not fantastic quality, but meh).

Try 28. And if I had to guess She is playing a 17 yo on the series With her older sister being almost 30 (they talk about the age gap on one of the episodes).

Edit: I was off on the age, she is actually around 28 but would have been 26 at the start of the series.

Nowhere near as hot as the new chick. But still...I would do her...but not her older sister.

We all say that now but I bet ya in a zombie apocalypse where our choices are severely limited by the walking dead, I can almost guarantee our expectations would lower dramatically if we were left with a decision one night of older sister or waxing one off in a dirty restroom. Especially if the hot chicks hold no interest in us.

So long as paper bags and muzzles still exist after the zombie apocalypse. No offense to the actress but she got a crap role of playing the stupidest ***** in the show.
