The walking dead
 

Not sure at the moment...

Is it me or is it just following the standard mini series tick box formula

What started out out as a promising first episode, has drifted into plothole city.

and now we have the mandatory "guest star"

Mart

yes -- and it is one reason I refuse to get into them

how I laughed at my work colleagues over that crap "Lost"

"have they been found yet?"

"well we have to wait until series 338 to find out -- but gripping stuff"

yep i'm sure it is

I thought it was a great series - thoroughly enjoyed it

I have enjoyed it too, was better than a lot of other stuff that is on the box at the moment.

I do agree about Lost, that is one program I could not get into. My attention span is reasonably long, and the constant flicking about through the time line just as I was "getting into" a scene really annoyed me.

+1. Think season 2 has been given a fair few episodes too. Way more than S1.


Hopefully it will be kept. The main issue I have with US series is that they get canned so quickly. If they don't keep ratings high they are dropped - even good stuff like Lie To Me.

Lie To Me
Human Target
Stargate Universe
The Event
Caprica
Flashforward
Sarah Connor Chronicles (it did get better :) )


I think they only thing I like watching that hasn't been cancelled is Fringe - and that was a skin if the teeth to keep that going to S4.

And Smith with Ray Liotta, was good that :(

Walking Dead started well but like most apocalyptic films/shows it disappears up it's own bum hole. Just hope S2 is a bit broader :)

we were talking about this in work this morning. might give it a go to see what its like. only 6 episodes is that right?

So does anyone know when season 2 will be aired? Good to hear there will be more epesodes

Nothing official just yet so I would think not until next year. I'm going to buy the first couple of graphic novels (comics for adult to the uninitiated) because I hear there are particularly good.

Good series, enjoyed it. Don't understand how so many zombies can survive on so little 'food'. Glad I don't live next door to a CDC.

To add to your list: 'Dark Skies', canned after 1 series, albeit 20 episodes.

Unfortunately, the story line/subject has been covered time and time again and can't really break any new ground.
WD covers the same ground that Romero was covering decades ago-I'll still watch season 2 though,as it's easy watching.
Get yourself The Wire on box set-that didn't disappoint (me!).

Enjoyed it - at first it reminded me of 28 days later and I am legend but it had its own twist cant beat abit of zomibe action :luxhello:

glad I recorded it as the sponsor adverts gets on my nerves and they seem to be 50 times louder then the programme (RAGE) lol

Absolutely agree. It seems I just get into something and them BAM, the yanks decide to take the series off the air. I was most annoyed at them getting rid of Firefly years ago, due mostly to the fact that they put it on telly during the graveyard shift.

The Walking Dead is a good series, and as mentioned, far better than a lot of tripe that's out there.

C4 is doing this now with The Event - moved to midnight presumeably to allow to die quietly. Personally it suits me to watch my progs a day late as i get to FF through the adverts. Only downside is our box is knackered and won't record some channels (Atlantic it just refuses to record).

Just a heads up that Series 1 is getting re-run on FX ready for the start of S2 in October.


Proper horror - not gaylord vampires and pantie wetting warewolves.

Looks good.

You forgot Threshold, another series brought to a rapid close...


rumour was that was a bit of a tit for tat series killing


Mart

Enjoyed season one; looking fowward to the next one!

Wasn't it only 6 episodes?

I watched a few but there was adverts every 5 mins. Looks ok but has been done 100 times before. Zombies really needs reinventing.

S1 was only 6 episodes, S2 is 13 episodes.

FX is a PITA for adverts. I just record and watch the following day. Anything I really watch I always watch delayed so I don't have to slog through the adverts. :)

First episode of season 2 is out for download now.

does anyone know when season 2 is on virgin?

This friday on FX isn't it?

is it a re-run of season 1 or new season 2 though?

Yep, 10.00pm FX & FXHD :thumb:

Repeated on Sunday night at 9.00pm, for any that miss it. :)

Start of season 2 :luxhello:

13 episodes in this season! :norty:

Season one is on now. Last ep will be this friday and i think s2 on sat.

Books are really good. If u can cope with comics.

have set it to record so will see

First episode of S2 wasn't bad. Good "herd" attack, pity about all the praying in church and navel inpection! ;)

Looks likes there's gonna be some new characters.

Walking Dead rocks! episode one of Series2, was tense. 10/10 for me

se02 episode 1 was aired in the US last Sunday. Is available to d/l in all the usual places - it is a good start with the plot developing nicely
