I started watching this too and started to get into it. It seemed like the pacing started to pick up a lot by ep3 once every character was established by then. I think Eulogy mentioned there are only 3 more eps left in the season though?
Soon as I'm done reading Ennis' Punisher series I'm just gonna start on the comics. Can't be waitin' around for this show I gotta know what happens. |

Just finished ep.3. Holy shit that ending was intense.
Something about this show (and it could be just that i'm already emotionally invested in the characters from having read the books) really strikes home with me. The performances are really powerful. The scene where Frank is reunited with Carl and Lori had my heart in my throat. So far: ep 1 A+ ep 2 A+ ep 3 A+ I have not been this happy about TV in a very, very long time. and those who are worried about the season length - Topless Robot says season 1 is seven episodes, but they've already signed for season 2 which will apparently be thirteen. God the wait for that second season is going to kill me. |

started reading the comics (just finished #23). the only gripe i have is how every body immediately starts fucking each other. kind of makes things too stereotypically soap opera-ish at times. but that's not a deal-breaker. i like stories in isolated environments so i'm digging it.
also not surprised at how loosely based the show is. i almost feel like anything about the comic could be discussed without potentially ruining anything for anybody that's just watching the show. it follows the same obvious plot but most of the little details are completely re-written. again - no big surprise with that. |

i think there's actually a problem when the adaptation is too close to the original, like for the most part watchmen. it was like, I've already seen this before...

i think it's very difficult to please fans of a written work when it's adapted for tv or film no matter what the subject is. very rare is it when a fan of a book sees the movie and sez "this is exactly what i imagined". makes me glad they're taking their time and being picky on things like sandman and preacher.

yeah well comics are even harder to do because the storyboard is already made... i mean, when you're talking about adapting a novel to the screen it's going to change quite a bit since it's moving from your imagination to "reality" but with comics it's like it moves from graphics to motion but is still generally presented the same way. comics to me are just movies in storyboard, and the temptation is to just rip it directly off since most movie audiences will never read a comic book because they're too grown up or whatever (but they usually don't read anything to begin with so)

or you get the nitpicky fans that complain that iron man's costume was the wrong shade of gold.
i think it's easier to adapt a comic book story that's been written or at least handled a dozen times by different authors (most of the superhero stuff - origin stories, famous villians, etc). you have a lot more freedom for the screenplay and more opportunities to retell the story from another perspective. it's harder when you're dealing with a finite series that has only been handled by one author and doesn't exist within the comic ultraverse. so when something like watchmen, or sandman, or preacher is adapted i'd much rather see it panel for panel than some screenwriter "loosely adapting" it. but with walking dead it's strange because right now i don't see any reason why it shouldn't have been handled in that fashion. they're taking a lot of liberties and the decisions seem arbitrary to me. |

agreed about the limited series perspective, it's very hard to do that. |

I'll be very surprised if Darabont sticks to the main story note-for-note, especially later on, seeing as how there's some really extremely confronting shit in the story line. Stuff that I, for one, don't see a mainstream TV audience swallowing too easily.
Slunken - Keep reading. |
