However, I heard a rumor that they're fired the entire wrinting staff....not sure what to make of that.

yeah i think that's true, i read an article yesterday about it.

I looked it up. It was just a rumor. The truth is the actual filming of the show wrapped quite a long time ago so writers have just moved on cuz they need to eat. No firings per se.

Also apparently we won;t get anymore TWD for like 10 months! BOOO!!!

Ha, I just noticed your location is exactly were TWD is set! Watch out for the exploding CDC!

Yes,I'm right outside Atlanta...like 5 minutes away, which is also where the filming for TWD takes place (Atlanta and various rural areas in GA.),my Missus keeps telling me to try to get on as an extra,since she fully embraces my love of all things zombie...but given the fact that I'm built like an NFL linebacker,I don't believe I fit the shows "emaciated zombie" criteria.

You could be a fresh one!

Maybe

This was me last Halloween...so I might be able to pull it off.

Excellent.

Back OT I'd like to say TWD has the best Zombie makeup I've ever seen. That half-women in the first episode: that was sick. They need to work on their exploding zombie head effects though.

Stands to reason that the make up in TWD is so good, Greg Nicotero is in charge of Make up and effects for TWD, and he got his start under Tom Savini working on Romero's "Dead" films.

Guessing the future:

Ooooo, good call Fraz. I didn't even think about that. That'll really make next season interesting.

I think he told Rick what Bill Murray said at the end of Lost In Translation. No reason to go through the zombie apocalypse with that hanging over your head.

The doc whispered in his ear. I'm guessing he told Rick that the blood test came up with Rick's Wife being pregnant. Watch the fun filled antics ensue!!!

Frazz...I believe you just hit the nail squarely on the head.

Ive been wondering since I saw that, and I agree, I think you guessed it. Its perfect drama for next season anyways. I also think Shane will go strait bananas and he will probably get some people killed. The guy is just losing it.

Thats ashame he's losing it. I personally think it'd be better if he wasn't. That way any confrontation would be more difficult for the audience. Its easy to hate the raving loon. Its more difficult to hate the other hero who is equally valid and, frankly has better freaking ideas than the main hero.

Well, I think they have established that. It's just that he's also a jerk too.

Here are the things left unsaid/undone:

LOL what helicopter?

Father and son from the first episode.

Merle? What's a Merle?

Secret whisper


There has also been speculation that the main character did actually die on the hospital bed but that for some reason his brain did a total reboot instead of just the brain stem.

No, its just Shane's not a doctor and he was in a hurry. Rick is normal.

I bet the crazy Doc told Rick that Lori is one month pregnant, not only screwing up survival hopes, but that it sure as hell aint his!

Proof or just a feeling? Remember, this isn't the comic so whatever happened in the comic may not happen here.

that may be true, but if Rick has Super-Undead-Powers then I'm going to stop watching.

I wouldn't say he has super powers but either he has an immunity of sorts, or a more powerful strain. Maybe that is what he told him: You are an infected but you didn't die.

Have to agree with Kamikaze...Ricks wife is pregnant,Shane's the Daddy...and Rick is going to be very unhappy in season two.

I stated earlier that is what I believe as well. I was just stating he could have said something else, not that I think he did.

A lot of people have been talking about their theories; my theory on what he whispered into Rick's ear:


That should make for an interesting 2nd season!

Well we'll have to wait the better part of a year for more Zombies. Damn you hollywood!

Something cool like Rick being a super fething zombie? How in the name of Christ is that cool? You like Uwe Boll movies dont you?

I too would drop this show so friggin fast my TV would vomit if that happens. Its suppose to be a drama, not some stupid Saturday morning cartoon show. His wife is preggers with Shanes baby, Shane is getting loopy, and I agree that sucks, because the fall would be WAY better if he wasnt a crack pot loosing his grip. The lolli copter is going to shed more light in season 2 for sure. And you know Merle will be stalking the group as well. He is going to be the antagonist in season 2 as well. Also, I hope he hates his broskee as well. Thatll make it even better for the whole his brother has to choose sides, the group, to which you can tell he is growing into liking, or his brother, and you know they dont have the best of relationships

I hope they do a cross over with True Blood.

Vampires vs Zombies vs Zombie Survivors!

Vampires win.

How come being infected but not dieing turned into super zombie with magic powers every time? No super powers were mentioned or brought up, just that he might have an immunity of sorts.
