Jibbajabba October 29, 2010 Share Jibbajabba Member October 29, 2010 This Sunday on AMC at 9PM CST the series premiere of the Walking Dead starts. If you are a fan of horror/zombie movies, this series looks amazing. If you aren't a fan of this genre....this series looks amazing and I hope you get devoured by zombies. It is based off the graphic novels with the same name. AMC is known for putting together quality TV shows and this one looks like no exception. I would hate to see the series fail because not enough people decided to tune in. Besides, you might learn a thing or two about zombie apocalypse survival and you never know when you will need that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher October 29, 2010 Share Preacher Member October 29, 2010 I will definately watch it. I'm a huge fan of this genre. The previews turn me off slightly as it looks like a knock-off of 28 days later. But we shall see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for this series to start for a couple of months now. Wish I had AMC on HD though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDamage October 30, 2010 Share ZeroDamage Member October 30, 2010 (edited) Here is a few minutes from the first episode. Looks like it is going to be really good. http://www.amctv.com/videos/?bcpid=596002833001&bclid=1768641490&bctid=652092560001 Edited October 31, 2010 by ZeroDamage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher October 30, 2010 Share Preacher Member October 30, 2010 Mainly the theme of waking in the hospital that seemed like a knock off. I guess 28 days later stole their theme then lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclean November 1, 2010 Share Unclean Member November 1, 2010 So did anyone watch this? What did you think? I saw the preview for this show about a month ago, and picked up the graphic novels that it's based off of. The price of the first book skyrocketed - it went from $20 to $35, now back down to $27. I'm not much for graphic novels these days, but this is a really good series. I wonder how true to the book this series will be. If it is accurate, we'll be in for a bumpy ride.

ZeroDamage November 3, 2010 Share ZeroDamage Member November 3, 2010 Great show. Hollywood Movie quality violence and zombie gore but in a TV series which means character development, etc. Think Terminator goes to TV in the way that "Sarah Connor Chronicles" did which I think was one of the best sci-fi TV series of all time. The same great special affects but with the character development. It is now happening with the Zombie genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 90% sure I scheduled the DVR to record the first show, I need to go check if it did. *it really tinklees me off that the forum filter won't let me use the other word for "take a leak" Edited November 3, 2010 by boiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher November 3, 2010 Share Preacher Member November 3, 2010 tinkled does sound rather manly though lol I thought the show was good, I really like Lennie James from Jericho, I hope he shows back up. Overall it was a fairly cliche' zombie apocalypse show. It follows the "shoot in the head rule", the "don't get bit" rule, but with no screaming women panicking every 5 seconds constantly making the hero put himself in jeopardy to save her sorry butt lol. I'll keep watching Oh and SCC was a great show but I really miss Firefly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan November 4, 2010 Share JackieChan GC Alumni November 4, 2010 Just finished watching the first episode. Really enjoyed it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler November 4, 2010 Share boiler Member November 4, 2010 Watched episode one, put it on for series recording. I did roll my eyes at the "relationship drama" that is already getting set up though. I mean, seriously, the dude's former partner has gotten THAT friendly with his wife in the maybe month that has passed when the apocalypse started? Are we really going to have to go through the awkward reunion where the wife "struggles" with her decision and probably picks the partner instead of the husband she abandoned in the hospital? Ugh.

boiler November 4, 2010 Share boiler Member November 4, 2010 Interesting? More like it's gonna tinkle me off. Lots of promise on this show, with VERY solid effects and violence. Here's hoping they don't screw up the human part of it, cause thus far the zombie part is very encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher November 4, 2010 Share Preacher Member November 4, 2010 Well they touched on this in the first scene, I'm guessing there was a previous condition between partner and spouse, but it could have been a development based on stress and the idea that hubby was no longer in the picture.

Unclean November 4, 2010 Share Unclean Member November 4, 2010 I just finished up book 4 last night. If this series is accurate to the books, being predictable is just an illusion. They stay true to the Romero-style zombies (not like the talking and marathon sprinting zombies in Return of the Living Dead). Not sure if this should be a spoiler or not, since I'm not really giving anything away, but here goes anyway: When you think everything's fine, that's when major, oh s*** what just happened plot-changing events happen. Nobody is safe, not even main characters. It'd be like watching Starwars for 20 minutes and watching Chewbacca, Princess Leia and Han Solo all get killed.

It's part of my "basic" digital package, and this show simply MUST be viewed in HD. I has a sad for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibbajabba November 5, 2010 Author Share Jibbajabba Member November 5, 2010 Good to see some other zombie fans on gc! I loved the premiere and can't wait for the next episode. I am glad they didn't try to reinvent the wheel like some zombie movies have tried to do. I suppose it helps that it is based off a known quantity, that being the graphic novels. I thought I read somewhere where the initial TV season is only going to be six episodes? If that is true that is a bummer. Maybe that was the number of graphic novels instead and I misunderstood?
