Well, pilot apparently leaked (kind of like how some Dexter season openings leaked a few years back) and I watched it despite the not so good quality.
And I gotta say it was solid as fuck.Darabont has put quite some effort in the series it seems, if the pilot should serve as an example.I won't be saying anything about the episode because I think it'll be a spoiler, but overall I really enjoyed it and can't wait for the next episode (the official airing of the first episode is 10/31 so it'll be two weeks until then)
-
I'm going to wait for a better quality to hit, but I'm really excited for this.
-
I'm interested for this too!
-
this will be one of the best shows on tv...

SPOILER ALERT
That dude's wife is the biggest slut. He's going through all that shit to find her and she's fucking his partner. He was only out like a couple weeks. She could grieve a little bit.
-
the whole thing about him being asleep through the entire thing for a couple weeks is eh, BUT its such a small part, ive already forgot about it, REALLY dope show, i like what its doing and how its doing it, However, anyone notice how the 2nd episode tried to do this different directing/cinamatography, that wasnt in the 1st, kind of a documentary/28 days later thing, i dont know how i feel about it, but in general im definately gonna be tuning in to this, other than empire, no other dramas worth watching on tv,

Yeah Frank Darabont directed the first episode himself. The second episode was directed by Michelle MacLaren. If I'm remembering correctly, I think each of the first 6 episodes will have different directors. Or at least most of the first 6 will be directed by a different person. So you'll probably notice the direction of each one being a bit different. Hopefully the show's quality stays consistent, but I've got to say so far I'm pretty impressed.
As a person who's read quite a few issues of the comic, I've been impressed by the fact that they've followed the basic story but added enough different or extra things to still keep it interesting. Apparently it's first two episodes have gotten great ratings too, so AMC has already renewed it for a 13 episode second season.

I just figured they spent a lot more cash on the pilot and didn't have that cash to make any other ep as high production. And it's sci-fi-fantasy, so I never really care about how realistic it is in most cases. I never read the comic so I don't know if it's ever explained as to how or why he was in that hospital alone while the world was ending. I'm sure they'll tackle it somehow.

They do go into that a bit in the comic. I'm thinking they may still explain it in the show as well. It's been a while since I've read those issues, but if memory serves me, we're not to the point of the story in the show that would coincide with the point where it is explained in the comic. Of course, after two episodes, they're already changing things here and there, so it's difficult to say for sure.

The Pilot was solid, definitely gonna check out the next one when I get a chance.

They dont, but the comic book is the best one out right now,you never know whats happening next...basicly no one is safe everyone can be killed.

I've loved every minute of this
-
can we also say that AMC is fucking killin' it with these shows.
anyone watch rubicon? seemed a waaaaay too slow for me (and i like shit slow)
-
I like it, after the 2nd episode. ;D
the pilot was better, but this was good too.

I did but I stopped because the week long intervals between shows were too long. Now that's done I'm going to watch it all in a couple days. Looked solid. AMC has yet to release a dud as far as I can see. They're building a very credible rep and the DVD/blu ray/whatever comes next sets for the existing shows are long term investments because these are series that future generations will want to see.
Now they just need a solid dark comedy. I can only imagine the lists of writers/directors trying to launch a project on AMC. It's not ratings based, it's quality based, so less is more and if they only focus on one series at a time and never have more than two running at once it'll be more special.

my guess is that his wife was already fucking his partner on the side way before any of this shit happened. for the story's sake i hope she didnt start up right after he was in the hospital

At least that would make some sense, but it still makes the dude a sap. They could have just made it 6 months to a year before they got together and it wouldn't have been that big a deal. Dead husband, undead zombies, end of the world, nature takes it's course.

a lil bit of a slow episode that picked up at the end,
with regards to the cheating wife, from this episode it seems that they only started fucking post zombies, with the whole 'you told me he was dead' thing.
also, dude from boondock saints.
i'm expecting next weeks to be dope as fuck and very action packed.

**Mild Spoilers if you haven't watched the First 3 Episodes**
Yeah, Shane and Lori's short-lived relationship was post-zombies. And they pretty much give the same reasoning in the comic as they did in the show. Initially, Lori is talked into leaving town by Shane with the explanation that Rick and the other patients in the hospital will be evacuated immediately following them, and then later she believes that Rick never made it out of the hospital alive.
I thought this weeks episode was pretty good. This and last week have been a pretty big divergence from the comic in that there was never any big group from the camp in Atlanta, and so there was never anyone left on the rooftop and never any real need to go back into the city. I think it's made for a good story though.

Just watched the first 3 episodes online. im hooked :)

Even if she thought he was dead and even if Shane was the great hero, I still don't buy her lack of mourning. I know they hinted that they had problems, her and Rick, but that's so fast to start screwing around with the best friend, unless something had already been going on. I think it would have been better if they hadn't done anything yet but she was falling in love with him and maybe just as she's ready to move on and be with Shane, Rick returns. But whatever, it's not a major point for me, or any kind of deal breaker for the show.

Yeah. It's portrayed a bit more realistically in the comic. The comic shows it more as a one time lapse of judgment on Lori's part that happens out of loneliness, and she regrets it even before she discovers Rick is still alive. Whereas the show has her still carrying on with Shane right up until Rick gets back to camp. While I really like the show, I wish they would have handled that part more like the comic.

Its completely plausible to me. Yeah it hasn't been that long but its the zombie apocalypse remember? The world is over as they know it. From my perspective, fucking would be one of the few joys left in life at that point.

Did any body read comics?
I did.
And I can imagine that they gonna kill one of the main characters soon. :o
1-6 ep - is it a full season?

So far, I've read issues 1-48 (which is what is contained in "The Walking Dead: Compendium 1"). If the comics are any indication, and I'm sure they will be, there will be a lot more death in the coming episodes. Unfortunately, the first season was only 6 episodes long. Season 2 starts next October, and will be 13 episodes long.

Was I the only person that thought the finale was terrible?

wasn't bad, but I thought it was the worst episode of the season. Kind of a let down cuz I was expecting it to be the best episode yet.
-

It was pretty weak compared to the rest of the season. Also, it completely deviated from the storyline in the comic book. The whole Center for Disease Control story was completely an invention of the t.v. series. There have been other times where the show deviated from the comic that I didn't mind or occasionally even thought were slight improvements, but I thought that the CDC story kind of missed the mark. I didn't really hate it, but it just seemed unnecessary.

Waw ...wow i like this movie
