spoiler marking for those who haven't read the comic.

IMO, the main points as far as I could tell of the CDC (which Kirkman admits he wasn't aware was in Atlanta when he start the comic) was:

a) to point out this is world-wide.
b) to advance the Andrea / Dale relationship without having them resort to sex.
c) to write Jacqui (who was filling Donna's spot at the camp) out of future stories as they seem to have decided against covering the issues with that family all together.
d) to inform Rick that Lori is pregnant with Judith, in order to bring forth the Rick / Shane fight which will lead to Shane's (now overdue) death.

Got caught up on the DVR over the weekend and watched the last 2 Walking Deads. This show has replaced LOST for me. Ironically the themes are similar. Survivors facing long shot odds at hope and normalacy.

This is a comic I've not picked up but next show I go to I may just see about getting a collected edition. I read where the creator(Kirkman) said that he is going to change up some things on the show vs the comic. Reason being is he thought he'd never get to 25 issues let alone 80 so he's going to mix up the dynamic. Essentially just cause you know the comic don't expect to see a direct adaptation across the board for the series.

I read where the writing staff was let go do to some union issues or something? I hope they iron that out cause that staff crafted a great 6 episodes. Would hate to rock the boat with new writers who can't maintain the magic created by S1.

I like Zombieland better.

Not to say that Walking Dead isn't awesome though.

What the f*ck am I talking about? This is the best f*cking show on TV!

Season 2 is shaping up to be better than season 1 so far.

Does anybody who has read the graphic novel know if they find that little girl? It's really irritating me.

I haven't read it, but I know she's around later so they probably will find her. Although there are some major differences between the comic and the show such as one character who's still alive in the show was already dead in the comic at this point. Daryl and Merle aren't in the comic at all. So anything could happen in the show.

I'm so loving this show right now, and while I was initially concerned they weren't following the comics, I'm not to bothered now. Its good to have something where you can't predict. Comic to show wise, = I'm really hoping they do the jail part, as those crims were great characters, and I hope to see Michonne show up, also wanting to see if Hersel is keeping zombies in the barn.

Shane, you son of a bitch...

Now I'm kind of glad they didn't kill him yet.

She doesn't get lost in the graphic novel.

We should probably stop expecting the show and graphic novel to do the exact thing. They're separate properties.

I honestly haven't read the graphic novel so I don't know who's in it, who dies, where they go etc. etc. But by the looks of things, that doesn't matter because they are changing things alot. But I'm enjoying this show very much and by the looks of things, it's only going to get better. I just hope they don't throw in a zombified creature that's like 10 feet tall and too powerful to over come like Nemesis from Resident Evil or something like that.
