I actually could see that,Rick having some sort of immunity to the virus could make for an interesting addition to the series storyline, considering his desire to "save" everyone,having some sort of resistance to the virus could lead him to attempt to discover a way to pass on his immunity....just a thought.

I've also been thinking about who some new characters in season two may be.

Spoiler:
I'm sure "the Governor" will appear,but I'm wondering if the producers of the show will attempt to merge the governor and Meryl's character together,
I'd also expect Tyrese (the football player from the comics) to be appearing ,as well as the chick with the swords...who's name I can't recall at the moment,also wondering if the survivors will end up taking refuge in the prison.

Michonne. She will definately be in the next season. So you have read the comic?

I've read some of them at a friends,but don't own any myself ( a situation I plan to rectify the next time I visit my local comics shop),I have a basic understanding of the story and characters (as it/they are presented in the comics) but certainly not a complete recollection of the material.

Incidentally,IIRC TWD comics are now available in "collectors volumes",collections of the comic gathered in various books,if that's the case.I definitely plan to pick them up.

yes, Trade paper backs is the best way to collect them now and they've gone into overdrive in producing them. They're actually as up to date as the monthly issues which is almost unheard of.
Anyway, The poducer of the show has said Michonne is one of his favorites and wants to get her in there as soon as possible so I wouldn't be surprised if she we actually to debut in the season 2 premiere.

Whatever the hell happened with the helicopter in like episode two, right before Rick crawled into the tank?


ANyway I liked the sixth episode..... Makes me wonder what the scientist said into Rick's ear. Like is the zombie disease airborne or something?

Oh come on.... It seemed more ominous than that when the scientist whispered in Rick's ear. The look on his face seemed like "oh frikking gak!".

(Put into spoilers by Weiner Legion's foul minion)
Spoiler:
Wow... Okay, why does everyone think the scientist whispered that Rick's wife was pregnant(What evidence is there to support this?) Why the hell would he tell him that, in a time like that? It's something bad I bet. Real bad.

I'm not arguing that she is pregnant, which she may be, but why the hell would the doctor tell Rick that in that situation?

Becuase bringing a child into the world during a zombie apocolypse is a tough row to hoe. Think being a parent is difficult now? Wait till it starts screaming at night in the camp. Pregnancy in that situation isn't a happy surprise.

I would say the theme of that episode was "screw it we're all gonna die anyway as per mad scientitst guy". So when Rick choose life The scientist was like well I better let him know he's bring a baby into this mess.

i had some issues with the final episode.

Spoiler:
If the CDC was going to self destruct, then why did the Doc ever consider shooting himself in the morning after the samples were destroyed if he was just going to get blown up anyway?

If the CDC was going to self destruct in 24 hours then why would he bother to do a blood test on everyone? How long would it take to run the blood tests anyway and what would he even be looking for since he said they didn't know what caused reanimation? And what in the blood test for "Walkers Disease"would have indicated Lori was pregnant (as some speculate)?

If the CDC was going to self destruct why even bother letting everyone in? And once in why not just tell everyone that the place is going to blow up so they can stay and die or resupply and leave? Was he that far depressed and resigned to death? (I guess so...)

In regards to arguing about source material. Remember Kirkman is writing some of the episodes, so just like Hitchhikers guide and it's parallel universes I consider the tv show just as much canon as the books just a different version of the canon.

It's it own thing for sure but with the Comic you've got one writer making a tightly controlled universe whereas the show has many writers with producers and directors also screwing with the consensus plot. It's just the nature of the business.

In other news rumors about the mass firings of the writing staff have resurfaced. It appears the reason I gave earlier about the writers needing to move on wasn't exactly true according to several of the writers themselves.
One or more of the writers has been hired to do another comic book TV show in the works that I can't seem to recall right now....Wonder Woman maybe?

Arise Zombie thread - ARISE! HA HA HAAAAA!

News for those like me that are too tight to buy sky or DVD boxsets!

Sorry for the threadmancy, but this is getting a terrestrial screening on FIVE here in the UK on Sunday night at 10PM.

Seen the threads here and heard good things so i'm looking forward to catching up and getting a curry in for this one!

No, its the free to air channels - BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and FIVE (plus their digital out put).

I suppose it comes from the alternative being satelite TV (SKY etc).

If I may, some justifiable thread necromancy. Was planning on bringing it back when the show returned from its ridiculous 10-month off season but some news: http://tv.ign.com/articles/118/1187232p1.html
The fact that there is so much behind the scenes drama from a show that has only aired 6 episodes is not a good sign for its longevity.

Also the fact he might have been fired for having too many zombies on his zombie show:

Darabont wasn't one of the actors, he was one of the "show runners" ( producers) of the series...basicly he was a major player in getting the show on the air in the first place.
It is a bit of a let down that he was fired (particularly due to some of the reasons cited)...but I remain optimistic about the shows future.

Oh man, this makes things a bit shakey. Im sure season 2 will still be good, but I hope they can hold it together after that. And sadly, it sounds like the execs at AMC are a bunch of dicks, on other shows as well. WTH AMC? And cutting down on, on screen zombies? Really?!?! Did they forget its a fething show.....about FETHING ZOMBIES?!

When the network starts interfering with the creative direction of a show it always equals disaster. And what's with this budget cutting rumor? TWD was breaking viewship records iirc.

After reading this thread, I regard it as the resident evil series, excellent games, fething awful movies. I love the walking dead comics, and the series was ok, but, it seems that making live action isn't always a good idea.

Well there you go. I've never followed Madmen. I know a lot of people like it but damn you 60s advertising! You've ruined my Zombie Apocalypse!
Anyways, maybe something good will come out of this and Kirkman will get more input into the show.

Well that was some damn fine Zombie killing. Screwdriver in the eye! I still so impressed by the zombies themselves. They look as disgusting as ever. I've come to accept that this has diverged from the comic 100% now and enjoy it more because of that. Just like everyone else I have no idea what's going to happen next.

I'm going to assume they all came up the interstate bypass that Glenn mentions when the RV first comes up on all the vehicles.

More importantly, how'd all the zombies miss them? I thought you need to cover yourself in zombie guts so they couldn't smell you. Maybe there was so many dead people on the highway they made a really good stench to mask them?
