Walking Dead
-
I got around to buying season 1 on blue ray, since I missed it on AMC. Did anyone else watch it? I thought it was okay, just not terribly special. It's certainly better than the crap Romero has been churning out lately, though (Romero is a sad case -- when you get right down to it, the daddy of the modern zombie movie genre has only ever made 2 decent movies. Everything else has been a second-rate imitation of himself, or more recently, imitations of his imitators).
At any rate, I've been following the graphic novel ever since it started up 8 years or so ago, so I cannot help compare the series to the comic. For the most part, the series is faithful, but they add a few things here and there, some which I suspect they are planning to tie into things that happen later in the comic. The graphic novel was good, at first, although in the last 5 or 6 issues (they're up to 13 now), my reaction has been mostly "meh".

I watched it. I was tempted to get some of the collections and compare, but right after season 1 ended the producers started talking to the press about season 2, and it sounds like they plan to veer the Tv series in a vaguely familiar but altogether different direction. So I didn't bother.
We honestly found it pretty engrossing, not quite as awesome as AMCs other shows like Breaking Bad, but definitely intense, far Moreau than other zombie fare, which is going through a silly phase again. -
Just watched the first episode tonight. And I'm VERY impressed. Good acting, so far good story and great special effects (except the CGI blood of course!)
Really looking forward to the rest of the series now! -
By the time I got to the end of the sixth episode I was in love!!! Some of, if not the best zombie action I've seen in a long time, a pity Uncle George can't remember how to do zombies without all of the political crap!
It was a pity that they didn't get back to the black guy from the first episode or the redneck on the roof, but otherwise really looking forward to series two! -
It's a good show, right? Yeah, even Laura mentioned the guy and his son from the first episode, being worried about him. The series does a good job of making you care about seemingly incidental people. They obviously had to leave that town they were in (the officer's hometown?) because he couldn't raise them on the radio. And you end up praying they didn't go to Atlanta like the father said they would.
Howdy, Stranger!
