Ah, I guess you're right. Since they want to move forward with things.....like I said, I've only read the first issue. My friend loaned his others out like a fool.

Grab CDisplay to read them. It's clutch and saves me 30 bucks a week on comics...

If you're talking about the death of a character, or really any element quite likely to make its way from the print version to the film version, I'd say it's definitely a spoiler.

I dunno guys this show is really lacking now, even after the badass climax. It's not that i want the whole episode to be badass zombie slaughter, but so many scenes are nearly unbearable. the whole "grandma wanders into a gang showdown" and "look the badass gang leader turned out to be a caring janitor with a love for senior citizens" things are mind boggling terrible. I literally laughed out loud at least ten times during all the "gangbanger" scenes. I don't think that's what they're going for. Just so many fucking tired cliches in play.

to be fair, a lot of the content would be much more enjoyable if it wasn't so poorly-acted. only a couple of the actors are really pulling their weight on this show.

It's not. The event we're talking about has been public knowledge for 5 years...

Public knowledge for people who read the comic? It's not common knowledge. I didn't know anything about a prison till someone spoiled that earlier in this thread, because I've never read the comic.

I actually thought the acting has been fairly decent so far. Unfortunately, some of that was thrown out the window with the whole "gang" scene tonight. Still not sure how I feel about how it all went down or really why it was included

[ExistenceNow]

This show reminds me of Prison Break. Not sure exactly why (no, it's not the actor that's in both), but it does.

The prison isn't that big of a spoiler, which is why I mentioned it. What did you think would happen? Did you think they'd live in the camp, out in the open, for the entire series?

[ProudestAnt]

The zombie attack at the end of the episode was pretty spot on to the comic...

No, but I didn't know what they'd find when they ventured off and now I do. It's not like you said "They eventually leave the camp".
I'm not upset about the prison spoiler though. I wish I hadn't heard it before I saw it happen but it's not the end of the world. If y'all reveal the death of a character though, that's another matter all together.

Did Merle die? I'm confused.

The main character's wife was a main character in Prison Break.

[fridge112887]

Ah, gottcha. Never watched although the first season was filmed at the closed jail about 25 minutes from my house

[DJGeneral]

Yeah, I just re-watched that part. got it now.

[hoke2007]

I'm wondering how often Merle will appear in future episodes.

I would never say that Prison Break was a "good" show, but I was absolutely addicted to it.


I think the similarity I'm catching is the cliff hanger after every episode, without much progress in the overall big picture story.

[fridge112887]

How did Merle Dixon fight his way through the city, infested with zombies, and just so happen to make it to the truck?

There's only two left this season, so if not next week, the following for sure. Whether he'll be alive or not, who knows?

It's depressing to think that the season is coming to a close already

[DJGeneral]

I noticed a lot of the cast was also in The Mist, which is one of my favorite films.

[ExistenceNow]

Darabont did The Mist, right?
