I don't want to see zombies crying over killed 'girlfriend' zombies or becoming conditioned as eat non-human things.. it gets pretty silly.

Pretty much everything in comics that deals with the zombies has already been established in episode one. There is never any talk of a cause or a cure, at least as far I've read. The zombies don't evolve, they kind of flesh out a bit more how the zombies accidentally end up in packs later on but thats about all they ever do.

It's amazing he still falls for every attempt to troll him and still calls everyone else stupid when he falls it.

same exact thing

what would be interesting is to get solution to how the whole thing could start in the first place. there's really no way that 10 original zombies could perhaps infect more than a small village before it gets well known and the military gets sent in to kill all of them. my own favourite scenario would be that there is an evolution of how the zombie apocalypse works. the fewer the zombies there are the more powerful they are, so in the beginning the first zombies had extreme strength and speed while they're now much weaker.

I disagree there.. in the zombie fiction universe there are no such things as zombie movies so this would be a unbelievable concept that no one ever considered before and would probably have a very hard time coming to grips with.. the government would do everything they could to not deploy the marines to slaughter all of New york city.. just for PR alone.. I think a total world washout is less likely than it seems in these types of stories but I don't think it would be as easily contained as you mention.

The other thing about it is you are assuming it's a virus that is only spread through contact.. it could be an airborne virus that brings any dead person back to life or 'no more room left in hell'-type mystical explanation from the first two Night/Dawn movies.

It would be dumb but it could be a 'Chem Trails' type thing done by the government..

dean_r_koontz · 11-04-2010, 09:57 AM

i don't like that there's no previous knowledge about zombies in every zombie movie. there should be previous knowledge. but that aside i don't think it would take long to realize how to deal with a bunch of slow moving, dumb, unarmed cannibals. given how fast information travels these days it would take about 2 days before everyone in the world knew about it and about 0.0000000001% of the world would have been infected. the government would not have to slaughter all of new york city because all of new york city would never be infected, even if the whole thing started there. it's enough to have 1 flesh eating zombie out on the streets before everybody panics and it's cabled out all over the world and the military/police is called in to shoot or capture the monster.

airborne virus is one solution to the problem but i don't think that's as funny as having these early super zombies kicking ass.

dean_r_koontz · 11-04-2010, 10:02 AM

imagine this alienesque episode where we get to see the first couple of zombies crushing the opposition in a small village or a military facility.

Well sometimes regular people are themselves slow moving, dumb, and unarmed as well..

If a few zombies show up in a subway and started going nuts and eating people 70% the crowd would run away screaming and the other 27% would sit there and watch like with car accidents.. and maybe 3% would try to help (and then get eaten/changed themselves)... nobody is gonna bust out with some rambo shit and start fighting back and by the time police/army/whatever get there how many people do you think would be infected?

not at all dude. Before long the zombies just become a part of the scenery. TWD is a story about people and retaining your humanity when everything around you is going to shit.

so did 28 days later just rip this off completely or what?

naw. 28 days later came out before the series started.

regardless they all are 'ripping off' Night/Dawn of the Dead. But who the hell cares when it's done so well...

....but this series is based on a graphic novel or something

Sonic Johnny · 11-08-2010, 04:57 AM

Just watched episode 2. Holy shit that was tense. All non-comic stuff too. They basically just blew out the plot by a good fifty minutes. A+

Rider · 11-08-2010, 07:14 AM

Yeah tonights episode was never in the comics and I'm pretty sure we might have added a few characters also. Also mixing things as the zombie blood thing happened a later in the comics. I was wondering how they were going to get the season to line up with the plot in the comics now they added this episode I can see how they are going to pace things.

Sonic Johnny · 11-08-2010, 07:26 AM

Yeah it did make me a little apprehensive to see unfamiliar faces in there. But you know how Kirkman feels about the value of human life...

Well there were also some questionable story devices tonight also. For example, how do you drive a car with the car alarm going off? Makes me kind of nervous that something like that slipped in the first time they went off script from the comics.
