I have to agree with Tycho on this one.

Oh.

I can't believe I started shouting at my tv when Dale got tackled. Firstly, because this is a terrible show. Secondly, I should have seen this coming considering he finally got an episode where he did something. Of course he was going to die. And thirdly, I hate TV!Dale. I was not expecting to care. I am going to miss his moral eyebrows, even if he was wandering around alone for no reason :(

And what the fuck, you'd think these people would at least keep an eye on the ONE KID, especially after Sophia. Whatever happened to "yes you can play outside, but stay where I can see you?" I'm kind of hoping he keeps getting more jaded though, but for his actor to be able to pull it off.

Now that comic canon is definitely out the window in regards who gets to live or die, when the hell does Lori get knocked off >:|

Gosh, next thing you know you'll be surprised when the loyal son turns on the weary father.

Left 4 Dead OST : Final Nail

RESCUE WILL ARRIVE IN 40 MINUTES

i guess the guy at CDC did say that everyone is infected

>>32198
Not confirmed yet.

Episode 12: Now THAT'S what I'm talkin bout muthafuckas!!! Best Intro, Best climax, and the last few minutes were glorious. But we all knew what would happen looking at the actor contracts.

Did the zombies evolve now or hasn't this scenario been shown before? Please remind me.

>>32200
There are numerous examples, Land of The Dead being a recent one.

>>32200
not confirmed? Shane and randall were both killed on screen and got up again, they basicly slap you in the fucking face with it

[spoiler also is that in the comics, the virus ressurecting everyone?[/spoiler]

oh and yes, mass migrating zombies have been shown before

>>32207
yeah. it was shown later in the comics when the survivors end up staying at a prison where two of the survivors attempt to commit suicide that infection has already occurred in all people and that transformation can occur upon death, even if not brought on by violence by zombies. It's a bizarre virus.

>>32208

Well at least its a polite virus.

>>32209
the implications of such a "polite" infection are very interesting.
are there multiple virus strains that work in tandem, one that can cause death and the other that simply uses the dead?

is the living healthy body able to keep the virus at a critically low level naturally through its various natural means but upon sudden introduction of large quantities through bites or scratches no longer capable of resisting?

both are frightening, but the latter suggests that humans may already have within them a way of suppressing the virus, and this may be a way to mitigate infection if not completely inoculate against it.

... but it's a horror fantasy drama, so let's not go too far with speculation until the writers decide to resolve this thing.

also... fucking shane.

>>32210

>Shane

The worst part about it, though? Shane looked like he was going to give Rick the gun.

To me, at least.

>>32211
Killing off the most interesting character in the show.

>>32214
for the second week in a row

>>32200
If I knew anything about video editing, I'd take the part where Shane, Andrea, T-Dogg, and Darryl fuck up the zombies and work it into something like Office Space Printer Scene because that is literally the only thing I could think of during that scene.

>>32210
I know nothing about how viruses work, but could it be possible that the virus just lies dormant in a body until it's weak enough to take over? Hell, maybe the virus is what caused Shane to start going insane.

>>32242

there are so many out there, but thiis seems like the best quality

Wow this show most be huge, now there is even a swedish knock off: Den sista Dokusåpan-Trailer
And its about what would happen if the "big brother" house was attacked by zombies.
Yeah...
But it do get a plus point for calling them Zombies and not "the infected".
And one of the tv spots had a guy standing next to a whiteborde going over the "Zombie Rule" with lines like "sometimes they run" and ofcoure one of the guys lisning is like "yeah right", next clip he is chased by GUESS WHAT, running zombies! That great, but I have alot of V-games that need to be play so, NOPE! won't watch.

>whatever that was that saved Andrea

>>32288
I fuck yeah'd.
Also, I was certain that Hershel was going down with the farm. I'm surprised he didn't. Honestly, though, that was probably the single best episode of the season. It's nice to see that after last season's was such a letdown.

The season finale slowly fell apart after everyone escaped from the farm. Lori being disgusted (or, making a bunch of weird faces behind Rick) by Rick for killing Shane--who was trying to kill Rick the second time, BTW--when she told Rick to kill Shane earlier on hearsay was just unbelievable. While you can say Rick withholding information from the group about everyone being infected would tick 'em off, it didn't come off as outrageous as the scene tried to sell it as. I guess you can blame a lot of this on Shane's overlong presence on the show, as his sins were more criminal than Rick's, but were somehow forgiven or ignored by the rest of the group. Of course, the episode ends with a shot of the prison, ensuring fans they will adapt the famous story arc for next season. However, after everything I've seen from season two, I'm not sure I want to see their take on it.

>>32292
>I was certain that Hershel was going down with the farm.
He was actually going to be killed in the last episode by Randall, until the writers changed their mind.

Why the fuck would they kill off Dale and Shane? They were two of the most interesting characters on the show for crying out loud. This entire season has been a big fucking disappointment. This season probably would have been better if Sophia hadn't gotten lost and they made it to that Fort benning.

>>32305
From what I hear, Dale died because the actor playing him was upset about Frank Darabont being fired from the show. Shane died because his death was long overdue and according to Robert Kirkman, was stunting Rick's character development.

>>32305
Eh, I think Shane needed to die, mostly because his confrontation with Rick is what they've been building up all season.

>>32294
Yeah, I can't disagree that everyone getting pissed at Rick is bullshit. Guy was keeping information that he wasn't certain of. Lori is especially full of it. She spends most of the season being a bitch to Shane and manipulating Rick and when one finally kills the other, she acts like that? Fuck off, already.

I think I'm gonna pick up the first compendium at some point in the near future. I've been dying to give the comic a read for a while now.

>>32288
that "whatever the fuck that was" is from the comics and lord knows how long i've waited.

my body is ready~

There was something about Lori's face that made me hate her the minute she showed up in the show. Just an inherent sense that she was going to be bitching all the time.
Makes me want to keep watching if only for the true version of this painstakingly despoilered image I edited.

>>32306
>according to Robert Kirkman...
Season 2 was a mess most of the time, and I want to go ahead and blame that guy for most of the direction. That and characters like Lori were horribly inconsistent and unsympathetic every episode, she may as well have been played by a different actress each one, so what is he even on about when he clearly knows nothing about what stops character development.

>>32288
I accidentally instantly shipped "whatever that was" and Andrea D: I just. I want them to be at least super friends. don't judge me

Since Darabont isn't working on the show though, and knowing how much I mostly hated this season, I can probably just expect more boring episodes (season finale will be arriving at the prison), missed moments of awesome, and lack of spotlight on relationships between the cast that aren't Rick and Lori. Why did Hershel trust Rick so much? Because Reasons is why.

>>32288
>>32311
Fuck yes. I've been waiting for her for a long time. As for how awesome the finale was, I'll leave it at that.

Well folks, see ya in the next thread when Season 3 comes out. Th-th-th-that's all folks... for now.

>>32319
>I want them to be at least super friends.

Well, they might both be lawyers.

>>32327
in the walking dead RPG, if you level up a lawyer enough, you can branch into black samurai or white marksman.

>>32329
I don't like it that they're using characters from the show and follow the series story line. It would be better if the game takes place in the same universe but focuses on a different group.

>>32322
whats the point of the pet walkers?

and why arent they trying to eat her

>>32337
here's her in-comic background.

>>32337
Zombies can't attack if they don't have arms or lower jaws.

Also, the same basic idea as when they coated themselves in zombie guts in season one- Zombies don't attack zombies. Carrying two around with you confuses most of them enough to keep attacks to a minimum.

ITT: i realize how few people have actually read the source material

i keep forgetting the comics aren't really all that popular

>>32340
>>32339
...but you can still kinda bite with just an upper jaw. and i would have thought they would try and attack even without arms. like headbut her with their theeth or something

>>32353
You can scrape I guess. Maybe smash in the upper teeth?

>>32353
I really don't think they can figure that sorta stuff out. They're just empty shells that run on pure instinct.

>>32342
Yeah, I'm picking up the first compendium at some point, but probably not until FCBD. If I'm lucky they'll do a second to catch me up to the 100th issue.

straight from the mouth of Norman Reedus (Daryl) at my local comicon yesterday
-while he's not allowed to say much, he did day that it looks like season 3 is getting back to the books
-even he noticed Hershel's unlimited shotgun works
-he has stolen the crossbow and vest with wings from work
-he doesn't understand the Lori hate, but agrees that Carl should be kept on a fucking leash
-he'd personally rather have Daryl go out in a blaze of glory than become a walker
-in one take he accidently got the CDC's door to open
-when he was eating the squirrel (dont remember that) it was chicken inside, but he insisted on putting a bit of fur in with it just to make as many viewers as possible dry reach
-when they were filming the barn scene where Daryl tackles Carol he grabbed her boob like 5 times
-so one take she tackled him instead
-at the time of filming the last episode Micchone hadn't been cast, the actor is just a standin
-Daryl is being written into the books
-Willem Defoe is insane

oh and Norman is a fan of our states finest beverage

>>32459
>-in one take he accidently got the CDC's door to open

"I'll take 'Shit they should have written into the show' for 600, Alex"
