It sounds like most of you haven't read the comic books.  I don't think it's necessary, but it does make some things easier to understand.

First, how are you going to wake up in zombie world and not start asking about a million questions? I mean, you're not even curious a LITTLE how it all started? I get that the dude is not talkative but come on bro, get some backstory.


I'd chaulk that up to waking up confused, hungry, thirsty and generally out of it.  And FYI, we're almost 80 issues into the comic's run and we still don't know what caused the zombie apocalypse, so I don't think anyone would know anyways.

Does it seem that the show is a little out of order? At the beginning, the sheriff goes to a ripped up camp site and shoots the zombie girl. Later in the show we see the same camp site with his wife and kid there. It just seemed like a random flash forward since he never got to the camp site or I don't remember them leaving the site.


Not the same camp site.  That scene was actually never in the books, the first issue opens with the car shoot out and then Rick waking up in the hospital.  I guess they wanted an opening bang for the TV show, thus shooting of zombie girl (which takes place between the police station raid and Rick finding the horse).


What I also don't under is how does a guy in coma survive in a hospital for two weeks by himself while zombies are running rampid thru the buiding but no one ever goes in his room? Every room is trashed expect his? The hospital staff never moved him?

It wasn't exactly clear, but the dead were all managed to be corraled in the room that Rick saw chained up and the dead woman in the hallway was most likely his caretaker that met her demise while caring for Rick.  There was a gurney in front of Rick's room to try to deter zombies from entering.  With those and the military outside, probably making a **** ton of noise, I can see how one lone person, who wasn't awake or moving, can be missed by the zombies.


So what's up with the Asian kid? Will we see him again?

Glenn's a pretty major character in the book, as is Andrea (the blond chick in the department store).  The others in the store are new for the TV show and don't appear in the books.

Anyone have any extra BAF parts for the latest wave (Golden Pharoah wave) that you may want to sell?

I have the Starman piece, Dan.  Shoot me a PM to work out the details.

****** thing is, you can't get to the drivers compartment in an Abrams from the turret.  :-\


Nerd.


People have been wondering if the half-eaten woman in the park is someone he knew.  Why go back to her and shoot her, when all the crap going on around you is taking place?  I'd likely have avoided lingering there.  Should've stayed at the cop station.

I don't think he knew her, I think he just wanted to put her out of her misery.  Remember, that scene was being intercut with the scene of the father doing target practice from the window so he could put zombie wife out of her misery (but ultimately couldn't).  Rick probably felt sorry for half zombie woman.  It took half zombie how long to tranverse the park? Two days?  Something Rick did in ten minutes.  Even for a half dead witless creature, that has to suck.

Anyone catch The Walking Dead?  Fantastic first episode that had everything anyone could ask for - drama, emotion, hot chicks, gore and zombies (the best looking ones I've seen, especially for a TV series).

Hopefully this gets picked up for a second season, 6 episodes isn't enough.

Should this show get it's own thread?  Granted, it's not for everyone, but my guess is it'll get enough interest here.

You're re-reading this right?  Can't be the first time through. 


Nope, first time through.  The Dark Tower series are one of the few King books I haven't read yet.

Well, it was almost a perfect day of baseball yesterday - Rays lose and Phils win with a no-hitter by Doc.  Only blemish was the Yanks winning.

Most are $2.99, some are $3.99.

I spend way too much on comics a week, I really need to cut back my pull list or wait for TPBs.

I ordered both Guy and Tomar from an ebay seller in China for just over $30 shipped.  I'm happy with that, they arrived perfectly with no defects and I'm not stuck with 3 **** ass figures.  Plus I haven't seen this pack at Walmart yet (not that I'm actively looking for it).

Wave 15 is on the boats from China as we speak and should be here shortly (at least for the major etailers).

Wave 14 is indeed delayed, most likely until November.

I expect 16 to hit in full force just after the holidays, but you may see them trickle out in a few places before the end of the year.

That costume looks like ****.  The Hydra bikers look pretty cool, though.

I'm more excited for Thor.
