Ah, I missed this week's episode! I'll catch it Friday night; it's airing again.

Yeah, I thought the same thing about Merle and the hacksaw. I'll tell ya what though, even if that blade was dull as sh*t, I'd keep at it for hours before putting into my wrist!

Trust me, it would take 30 seconds to cut through the steel. It would take hours to cut through your own arm [with the passing out and all].

I love how it started. But I think since it started veering away from the comics its kinda loosing its momentum.

Like how in the most recent ep. those two girls were sitting out in the boat conversing while fishing, i thought it was a waste of space better used for zombie mayhem

But I do understand it can't be cheap to follow the comic's out and out zombie shenanigans.

However, I think some of the stuff they're doing, like the run in with the "gang" in the last episode, was a nice touch and its good to be surprised, because having somethign follow the comics religiously would make the whole thing kinda redundant.

Love "Guts" though!

Great show. It's pretty wild that there is an actual show dedicated to a zombie apocalypse scenario taken an a serious level.
Well written and the acting is top notch. Not to mention the special effects themselves.
Another show worthy of mention is Dead Set. Super awesome zombie show that's ultra violent and has some of the more creative death scenes i've seen in a while. An intelligent contribution to the Zombie genre along with The walking Dead.
I make sure i'm at home to watch the Walking Dead every sunday for sure.

Hey, it's been a while since I have posted on the site so I thought that I would reintroduce myself back onto this site, I just haven't had the time to post in any forums due to school, work, my laptop getting stolen and all sorts of good stuff...

But anywho, before I end up derailing this topic... "The Walking Dead" I just recently started reading the comic (as of last week) and just recently got into the show (as of last night via iTunes season pass) and I freaking love it! The acting is really great and the zombies, good god, the zombies look phenomenal! I have only watched the first two episodes so far and I honestly can say that this is the first TV show that I have truly, genuinely enjoyed in quite some time, I am going to watch the next three episodes over the course of the weekend so that I can be all caught up for episode 6 this Sunday! Oh, zombies can eat horses, we're saved! At least we are until we...f*cking run out of horses...

About the latest episode, "TS-19": so the group's arrival at the CDC was a red herring at best, or just a worthless plot point at worst. I really thought that Jenner would tell the group that he needed tissue samples from a human that was recently turned zombie, and they would go back for Jim, the guy that was bitten and left behind at his own request.

This would made for a great episode- they would have had to deal with seeing one of their own as a walker, one they had only just left to "die", esp. shocking for Andrea. But they just blew up the CDC and that one lady, and moved on. I'm not sure what this episode accomplished, maybe I need to watch it again.

I'm concerned that this show is going to suffer from what happened to Lost- a great premise, strong out of the gate, but eventually mired in dead-end subplots and issues left unresolved. Still a great show now, though, looking forward to more.

They did get a lot of information while they were there. Like how the infection works and that it's worldwide. I knew they couldn't stay there, it wouldn't be much of a show if they were safe underground the whole time.

Oh my gosh, I so agree!!

I for one am really no fan of zombie stories that feel the need to explain how the infection came to pass, part of what made the comics so great is they didn't seem to dwell on the hows, rather the what the hell are we going to do to survive now? Granted, I've only managed to get up to about issue 50 in the comics >_<

I'm kinda hoping the next season will get back to the comic lines, obviously there would be things they might not be able to do for sheer size and cost, but really, the CDC thing was just a waste of space.

But I was hoping that when they reached the CDC they'd go otu and collect samples, and maybe spend a few weeks there, I was thinking they'd treat teh CDC as they treated the jail in the comics.
