The walking dead

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

Holy fucking shit. Most amazing zombie show in the entire world. Unreal.

[paul jones]

yeah i like it too(y)

[TAL]

I like it more than you do.

[paul jones]

I like it more than you do.


I like the blonde and the brunette milf more than Thomas

[MC Moot]

It fails to follow the plot/story line presented in the books to the degree I hoped for...In fact it's totally different...therefore I find it washed down and weak...even though Kirkman is on fully on board...they seem to be setting up for season after season after season after season...

[Echewta]

The CDC was like from the future man.

[Guy Incognito]

anyone know best place i can dl 1st ep of new series i missed it on FX UK and started recording from ep2?

[adam_f]

I'll jump onboard if Laurie Holden dies. She knows what she did.

[checkyourprez]

yea good show for sho.


that last ep was fucked. its interesting to think about laws and morals and what not in a world like that. do they go out the window? is there a place for them? every man for himself?

Well thats because the person who produced the show, isnt even the person who made the comics, so of course its gotta be altered. I'm surprised at this paragraph really.

Fuck yeah but what about Shanes slimy ass? He killed otis on the new episode he continues to fail.

yea good show for sho.

The eps keep getting more and more brutal, theyre takin it into pretty touchy areas to some people, like being one of the shows like this that actually start with the little kid as the main victim atm, real fucked. Realest zombies, so crazy.

Sorry I don't, but let me know when you do as we forgot to record the second ep too.

Haven't watched the new series yet but the first did get pretty gripping.

ya but thats the best part imo. its mad real. this is where the questions i posed come into play. in a world where zombie humans were running rampant there are no rules. this is literally back to the wild, instead of bears or lions chasing humans, its other diseased humans.

in that situation with shane and otis, it got to the point where it was either both of them, or one or the other. shane gave him the option a little earlier in the show to go on without him and shane would sacrifice himself. apparently when otis turned the offered down he unknowingly volunteered himself.

whats better both of them die a noble deaths and not getting supplies back to a dieing boy or one man killing/sacrificing another and getting the supplies back to help save the kid?

its easy to say murder is wrong and in turn shane is in the wrong. but when society breaks down and its every man for himself, or us vs them (in a sense) in this situation, does wrong go out the window?

[Kid Presentable]

cyp you'd love the books.

[checkyourprez]

cyp you'd love the books.

i didnt know it was a book until i heard about the show. how many are there?

[Kid Presentable]

Trade paperbacks are six-issue collections and there's 14 of them (probably 15 by now). It's fucking good reading.

Its above and beyond real, the way the group is split and scattered right now, theyre weak and struggling, but theyre still making it with tactics as youre saying, they react like they would in the wild surrounded by wild animals. Yeah, Shane was just trying to get the stuff back to Carl, but I always have a little amount of bad things to say about him after he was bangin Ricks wife. Dirty. I agree, there isnt much right or wrong anymore after majority of things are beyond wrong.

[Guy Incognito]

Sorry I don't, but let me know when you do as we forgot to record the second ep too.

Haven't watched the new series yet but the first did get pretty gripping.

i decided to just go for it despite missing the first one and glad i did, i picked it up i think. watched the 2nd and 3rd eps. fucking excellent. bit slower than 1st series but its twice as long this time so thats cool

[Turchinator]

the second season is subpar compared to a 6 episode season 1, in my opinion.

and I'm no fanboy, haven't read one of the comic books, but the apparent reason was the departure of Frank Darabont as executive producer.

for me the suspense just isn't there like in season 1. the scenes are laborious, the actors are kind of bad...

searching for the little girl, STILL?

what was the deal with the well walker, no one cares to find out how it got down there?

I know Hershel has something up his sleeve from the spoilers I read, so I wonder if we will get that answer this season.

[Kid Presentable]

All of you who haven't read the books should do yourselves a favour and.....um....read the books.

[ToucanSpam]

All of you who haven't read the books should do yourselves a favour and.....um....read the books.

I concur. Best ongoing series available right now.

[Turchinator]

yeah but this is the thread about the tv show.

is anyone else unimpressed so far with season 2?

[beasties#1fan]

Oh my god! its my favorite show! i literally haven't missed one episode, 1st or 2nd season! good thread start jackie! hahaa
i cant believe lori's preg. like...poor rick. he's like 90% cuter than shane anyways.

[Turchinator]

ugh... nevermind

[checkyourprez]

yeah but this is the thread about the tv show.

i wouldn't say unimpressed. i just understand that the first season was only 6 episodes so if they wanted to get picked up for another season they had to jam pack a lot of stuff in it.

with 13 episodes its just logical it would be more spread out. plus they only have so many characters, if its super crazy every episode they would lose people and ammo very fast and thus that would be the end of the show.


uh duh.

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

ugh... nevermind

I agree w/ you that its not nearly as good/suspenseful as Season 1. Since I posted this last new episodes have aired

I agree w/ all of that, no update on that little girl still? Theyre gonna just leave the well walker scene as it is even though thats their water supply? When is something gonna actually happen? I love this show, and the first season blew my mind, the past 2 episodes of season 2 now have kind of let me down. Its a routine for me and a few pals im close with to watch it together every sunday and at the end it was normally "HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME" hahaha but now i'm left with questions, they dont have as much action or as many zombies or scares its mostly drama now and that is sad :/

The entire first season was crazy thats what I liked about it so much I always said "I love how every episode is action packed and never lets me down" sure it does need to be spread, but there hasnt even been any to spread yet..

that was only one well. they said they had like 4 of them or something. i am assuming they are not connected.

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

that was only one well. they said they had like 4 of them or something. i am assuming they are not connected.

ohh yeahh they said they had 4 of them at different parts of the field they live on, for some reason I assumed that they were all contaminated already..

oh did you all see the making of the well walker scene? there is a talk show after the show called The Talking Dead that showed it, it was pretty gnarly.

[Turchinator]

that was only one well. they said they had like 4 of them or something. i am assuming they are not connected.


so this guy has a serene impenetrable farmland with a random zombie in a well and they leave it to the gang to deal with it, seal it up, and leave it behind without even knowing how and why it's down there?

what i loved about season 1 was the edge on the seat suspense, around every corner type of drama the writers created based on the source material. I'm talking jaw dropping shit from the entire season.

I loved all the same things about the show mentioned- the moral questions posed, etc...

this season has almost none of that, and they are contrived at that... besides Shane killing Otis we've been listening to Hershel tell Rick he's not fit to go out there because of all the blood he donated. they have done that conversation to death.

they spent three episodes now trying to save the little boy and find/rescue the girl.

this season is leaving me rolling my eyes at the scenarios like when I was following LOST. never stopped watching though, just giving feedback.

This. Searching for the girl still I kind of understand because for the most part, people are still trying to be "nice." Fast forward a month in the midst of this new reality and people are start fiercely focusing solely on survival at any cost. That's what makes comic series to me the most interesting.

But anyhow, they are dragging everything else out and it's really slow. It's also been pretty very predictable. The Shane episode was a little glimmer of hope for me.

I'll keep watching but I'm definitely not as pumped as I was during the first season.

[beasties#1fan]

ugh... nevermind
........i wonder who this comment is implied to!

[checkyourprez]

come on dummies the show isn't going to go on like this. theres just some obvious dead space that needs to be taken up by some less than awesome episodes.


the walking dead is a lot like the sopranos. there was a lot of episodes where tony and the boys were out killing other wops and that was awesome. and unfortunately there were some episodes where tony was with that dumb therapist having flashbacks about why hes all messed up the whole episode. ya theres a lot of zombie killing in the walking dead, but theres going to be some boring episodes where they are searching for some dumbass little girl who should learn to follow directions. its tough for a show to go pedal to the medal every ep.


the bright side is its only going to go up from here.

[nodanaonlyzuul]

"Dead space" is not something that is necessary when driving a story forward. It comes off as lazy.

Alas, they decided to come correct again last night. So, hooray!

[Turchinator]

episode 5 delivered the good stuff.

i forgot to mention how good the music by Bear McCreary is, it really helped the montage last night with Daryl on horseback with the whole suspense element.

same thing with the lead up to the hayloft scene.

[nodanaonlyzuul]

It's covered in the comic books. Fun to see it in the flesh.

[checkyourprez]

Seeee I told you it was only going up!

What a nutcase holding those zombs in the barn like that!!!

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

Duuuuuuude that episode! When Andrea shot Darrel in the head my jaw dropped I was fucking pissed because I dislike her character and Darrel is my favorite, I like his attitude and his role a lot. I cannot believe that dumbass did that shit. Also, I thought was meril was actually back for the season I wonder what happened to him. The barn full of zombies! What the fuck! The person I was watching it with goes "Hes a doctor maybe hes trying to find a cure" I was like, HES A VET! How the fuck is he gonna find the cure for a disease where the dead came back among the living to tare them to shreds?

my EXACT reaction. i was watching with my girlfriend, i put my hands on my head and was like what the fuck are you doing you stupid bitch?!?!?! thankfully she only grazed him. time to get her gun privileges revoked, again.

ya i gotta think that hes hiding them in there because hes this man of religion and finds something wrong with killing them. in addition i dont think he himself is working on a cure but i think thats the other part of it, hes hoping or he just has "faith" that a cure will be invented and he can save his family. i think thats fucking nuts.


When I saw Merle on the preview i was all wtf hes back??? but within a couple seconds of him standing over his brother i knew it was just a vision/hallucination. pretty fucking cool tho he woke up to the zombie gnawing on him. that was another time i put my hands on my head and was like "nooooooooo". but like a badass he killed them.




Im siding with shane in the shane vs. rick battle of ideologies. yes its certainly the noble thing to try and find this girl but its already gotten ricks kid shot, otis murdered, and now darrel messed up, + lost a horse. he made a good point about the 72 hour thing in normal life, not zombie world. although i bet shes still alive in the show, its stupid imo.

[Guy Incognito]

excellent spoiler alerts going on in here!!.

Episode 4 in uk people, episode 4.

I will say that its getting good and i dont mind the quieter bits when some of the other stuff is top class. The geezer coming out of the well was different gravy(y)

buuut i avoid this thread until then....my advice...move to the USA and watch it with the rest of us! :)

As a huge fan of the comics... I'm still not impressed. There have been some great moments and a lot of boring dull ones.

The end of episode 5 was nice. I'm still giving it a chance but my patience is wearing thin.

the comics is the comics. the show is the show. idk why people always expect the same things.

[jayjacobson16]

Even though the son was shot and the fat guy was killed, at least the Asian guy got some sweet farmer girl ass.

[Sir SkratchaLot]

I've liked season 2 just fine. Good pace.

The main reason they can't follow the comics is because they're too hoardcore for TV (even with these newer relaxed cable standards) and people would probably stop watching after the shit that goes down when they go to investigate the downed helicopter, if not sooner.

[Micodin]

the comics is the comics. the show is the show. idk why people always expect the same things.

I'm not expecting the same thing, nor did I ever say that I did. How you read that into what I said is odd.

All, I'm saying is that the show is not at the same level as the comics... Not even close. It's kind of sad.

There is a lot of good source material the script writers could be pulling from the comics, but they are dumbing it down with boring plot devices like "Sophia being lost for 5+ episodes, the plot of last seasons finale, Shane and Rick's wife drama for over 11+ episodes, blah blah blah. It's like a goddamn soap opera. A bad one.

The show has no pacing, it's excruciating with it slow ass plot lines.

I know it cant have the sex & violence that the comic did... but damn. Have some substance.

If this show was on Showtime or HBO it could be in the league of Dexter and the like.

Right now it's barely treading water. Almost drowning.

In my own opinion.

I was SOO salty when her ass did that! EXACTLY revoked AGAIN, exactly why Dale and Shane didnt want her to have a gun to begin with. Well, Dale was assuming shed shoot herself but Shane said "the less guns we have floating around the better" so they can keep track of them, she proved the point right away. I agree w/ the 72 hours also, staying waiting and looking for that little girl is putting the entire camp at risk, cause if 2 people go out, get attacked, and dont come back, then more people are gonna go look for THEM and what if THEY get attacked? it would just end in a huge ugly mess. Thats what my dad said, that thats his friends and family in there that he hopes to be able to cure.

simple, you said as a huge fan of the comics you are not a fan of the show. you drew a comparison from the comics and the show. they are two different things. if you had never read the comic your view would probably be different. hence you are comparing the two without apparently knowing it and consequently dogging the show for not being more like the comic.


that being said i do think hbo would be the perfect place for a show like this, however amc is doing a good job imo.


i read another interesting hypothesis on why the old man is keeping the zombies in the barn. here goes...there was the walker in the well that is used for the cows. the cows drink the zombie water, they produce milk. the humans drink the zombie milk. the old mans daughter tries to get pregnant. has a baby that is hopefully immune to being a zomb. then they can use the baby to help cure the family zombs in the barn. i thought it was a pretty interesting unconventional way of looking at the situation. (dont tell me a theory based on the comic bc thats not really a theory thats already written even though they dont line up 100%, grazie)

I'm thinking we disagree to disagree to agree. Agreed.


And don't read this unless you want a huge SPOILER!!!!!!!!!















In the comics, whatever makes you a zombie is in the air. So as soon as you die, via fall off a ladder or whatever. Boom. Your dead. You turn into a zombie. The reason he's got those people in the barn is because they are his kin, he's a god fearing man, and doesn't believe in killing his family.

agreed.


and worddd? i didnt know that. but that is a major difference for sure.

and that was my original reasoning of them being in the barn. you could tell how the daughter reacted to them killing the well zombie.

theres too much usage of the word 'kin' going on here. lets cut that shit out.

[Micodin]

CYP you make me laugh out loud!

[beasties#1fan]

do you guys think the lori's baby is ricks or shane's?

[checkyourprez]

probably shanes.


SPOILERS. UH DUH.









she fucking sucks though. like her getting pissed hershal kinda wants them to move on. hes already saved her kid and provided safety and food for them for some time now. its not her place, its not her choice.


shane is the man though. how he was yelling at that blond chick when she was shooting, then she gets all pissed off and storms off. sowwy he hurt her feelings but as much of a dick as hes is/is being hes got a legit point in all of it.


looks like most all of us are right, his family is in the barn, which is stupid. that would freak me out if i had to sleep next to that every night, very unsettling.


kind of glad the daughter got attacked in the pharmacy. hopefully sees how dangerous these things are.



idk if sophia is alive or not but lets be serious. shes a little girl. how in the world would she survive this ordeal? she doesn't have any food. she doesn't know the area. she has zombies all around her. how long are they going to look for her?





only one more ep until they take off for a month or two..

[Turchinator]

theres too much usage of the word 'kin' going on here. lets cut that shit out.


sowwy that zombs keep eating hershels kin.

uh duh!

I clicked a massive spoiler recap of episodes 6 and 7 and saw a screengrab from the mid season finale that I wished I didn't.


but finally Andrea is getting some love.

fans of the comic kept saying how much of a badass she is in the books.
folks on another board hated her, now it looks like that will turn towards Lori.

I fucking hate that emotional wreck.

[Micodin]

Another episode of way too much drama whining bullshit dialogue.

But... great zombie kills, glad rick found out about his seed, liked the Dale and Shane go-around.

Some good stuff finally going on.

Did Andrea really grab Shanes junk?

Kin.

Oh and It's hard to recognize sarcasm on this message board so forgive me if you actually were being sarcastic.

Hey Dick,

Stop being such a dick.

You should of posted SPOILER in bold print or some shit.

But instead you wanted to be a dick and try to be funny.

But alas, you ended up looking like a dick.

If darrel died I wouldve hated her character to the fullest degree.

no, i totally disagree. good body bad face, beats good face bad body all day. for just fucking of course. and really in a zombie apocalypse, thats all id be worried about. surviving, and busting a nutt when the time was right.

i know 'bigger' chicks with nice faces in real life, not interested, no offense to them just not my thing. butterfaces (http://www.demotivationalposters.org/image/demotivational-poster/1102/butterface-nice-body-sells-food-cubby-demotivational-posters-1298960144.jpg) (i would hope everyone knows but if not...everythings good 'but her face'...get it?) would be much more appealing to me in that situation.


nice face is a requirement for marriage though. however once again, in a zombie apocalypse im not really concerned with getting hitched ya smell me.

hahahahhaha, i gueeeeeeess in a zombie apocalypse, i'm pickin up what your puttin down, but i wasnt necessarily talking about fat people, like...........if you think about it....if your ugly...the only thing going for you IS your body...soooooooo yeah, your going to work on the onnnnllly thing that would make you more attractive...(well most people? idk anymore)
like for example..the fat farm chick hooks up with the asian boy......see she had a ugly body, but a decent face i guess, like I think she should have hooked up with shane...now thats a couple, because they both are kind of ugly.

WOO I agree. Damn dude i'm so glad Lori finally told Rick, I CANT BELIEVE HE DIDNT FLIP OUT. Shows how level headed he can be, he seems to always wanna make the right choice, but he takes it to a degree that its fucking himself over ya'll know what i'm sayin?

im not clicking tho, i can wait.



but that episode was sick. at the end you almost have empathy for the zombies. but it was really more for Hershel. you could tell it really hurt and affected him that they killed all the zombies. but it was the right thing to do, collecting them in the barn like that was not safe at all.


seeing sophia come out of the barn was a little bit of a surprise for me. i only looked at the picture on here for half a second so i didnt get the context, i knew she was gonna be a zombie but it wasn't in the front of my head and surely didn't expect them to have her in the barn. interesting that they had her in there tho and for how long? why wouldn't they tell her mother?? (well its obvious why they didnt it would give away their secret but still thats messed up)


i agree with shane on all this shit. its very harsh no doubt, but they are in a fight for their lives. sentiments and niceties go out the window when you and everyone you knows lives are on the line. what the hell was that old man thinking when he was about to bury those guns? if you don't want to do what you need to do to survive in that kind of world then whats the point of living?


i think rick shooting sophia is symbolic of him giving into shane's way of thinking. Sophia was a symbol of hope for him, for his boy, a symbol that good things can still happen in the world. but seeing her as a zombie zapped that in him imo.

Yeah I think Shane is partly right even though he is still extreme. You can't go searching for some girl for days on end in the apocalypse. Same thing would probably happen again with the same girl if you saved her. Rick is still right and does the right things but morals tend to get in the way of logic even if it's cold hearted. I don't have a problem with this season like some other people do. I think I like it more than the first.

the open alligator mouth eats the larger one from what I remember.

and I totally agree. that last sequence was worth 5 episodes of the Sophia exposition.

so...... I take it the reason for keeping Sophia from the rest of them was that Otis was the barn zombie wrangler herder.

Shane killed the one person who could have told them the little zombie girl was in the barn. the gang kept mostly to themselves on the land, stayed out of Hershel's business, and vice versa.

Maggie and Patricia could have known but Otis must have run a tight ship, like with a bathroom zombie checklist and what not.

can we go back to that hallucination scene with Daryl and his brother?
dude wakes up out of a blackout to a zombie almost gnawing on his toe and he avoids getting bit and takes on two walkers like that...

what a badass.

if you go back to his dream you see Merle nudging him and pulling at his feet, imagine that was happening to a sleeping Daryl- the zombie must have been sniffing out this half dead body next to the river to see if he was still alive so he could go ahead and start with the lean meat from the bottom up. that scene is one of my favorites from the season so far based on what he was going through physically and mentally.

Yes, Kirkman told us that on the Talking Dead. Also remember that when Otis died, the people on the farm didn't know that the gang was looking for Sophia.

ya that was one of my favorite scenes too. merle is probably my favorite character. but i must say i do like shanes badass take no shit attitude. even though he defiantly has the crazy eyes at times.


i think merle kept looking for sophia because even though he wouldn't admit it he felt if they could find her that means that they could possibly find derrel still.

[Micodin]

I find that a huge plot line gaff.

If a little girl was missing from their group and they were looking for her every day, and as much Rick was affected by this I think he would of told Hershel that one of the many reasons why they couldn't move on was because of Lori being pregnant and Sophia being lost. Both were weighing heavily on his mind.

Yes the pregnant thing but that also just happened. I think he was okay with leaving and still looking for sophia if it came down to it, but that was b4 he knew of the pregnancy of course.

You have to look at it from hershals point of view, if he let's them know they have her and she is a zombie it let's his secret out and could lead (as it did) to them killing every zomb in the barn, just as he didn't want to happen. He had his own motives. I don't see it as a plot hole.

[Turchinator]

i agree cyp. it's another secret that someone decided to keep that affects the whole group.

internal conflict and stuff.

Even tho. I'm getting bored of the show more and more. Dexter has yet to fail me this season.

I only watch TWD outta lack of anything else on that intrigues me in the slightest. I read a interview with Kirkman and looks like the 2nd part of this season will have more drawn out plot lines and crying ontop of whinging.

I was never too keen on soap operas. Even if you throw zombies in the mix.

that's what I'm fucking talking about!

episode "18 miles out" is by far my favorite so far in the 2 seasons.

every scene between the characters was meaningful and they were forced to make serious choices.

the zombie action was fucking insane

that's what I'm fucking talking about!

episode "18 miles out" is by far my favorite so far in the 2 seasons.

This has been hands down my favorite episode also. It was so... dramatic and intense. That look in Shanes eyes when he thought Rick, his brother, was going to leave him for dead. Im wondering if this will cause Shane to have any remorse for intruding on Ricks wife and family. The one zombie that hopped out the window and stood firmly on both feet (he stood about 6'6" is what the talking dead said.) staring down at Rick tweaked me the fuck out!

As for the little girl, I thought she got scratched by her mom.. she seems to be (physical health wise) doing much better.
I agree with Andrea that its everyones choice to themselves but its touchy because at the same time she is a young girl and does need some guidance but where in that situation, the life they live now, do you draw the line between independance and guidance?

Anyone else notice Shane sliced his hand with the same blade that had the cop walkers blood on it after he stabbed it?

[checkyourprez]

that ep was full of pep. i liked it.

i think andrea is a dumbass for letting that chick cut herself like that. i see the logic in her way, but when it comes down to it she still just is a girl who lost her mother. woman are emotional freaks to begin with so all that is going on is probably tweaking them all out. much more of an impulse thing than clearly thought out.

from what was shown about next ep it still doesnt not seem like shane excepts all of what rick has said. and i think if you were to believe he would is gullible. he is just not that kind of person.

i dont think rick ends up killing that kid and i think it ends up blowing up in his face. you could just tell the kids reaction after they busted out of their the thrill of it all he enjoyed it, just doesnt seem to me hes a guy they want around.

and once again ricks actions almost got him and shane killed. 18 miles out and he didnt want to leave him there, because there was that walker in the field. so they go a little farther and drop him off at that place, granted they may have gotten away with it had shane not thrown the wrench but still.


i am not sure if 1. shane did cut himself with the same knife, 2. it was an oversite by the writers, or 3. he should, you would think get zombed out sometime soon. i think its more number 2, but who knows.



annnnd once again ricks wife is a dumb bitch.

[Turchinator]

I keep reading everyone's theories about blood and stuff.

ever since Andrea stabbed that walker in the rv and got zombie blood everywhere people are freaking out about infections and what not.
but it's clear to me since season one since they rubbed blood and guts all over themselves, and a few times this season as well when they disemboweled a walker and hid under a pile of dead zombies,
that it's not like HIV or something. you have to be BITTEN or SCRATCHED by a live walker in order to be infected...

I can't believe little suzy homemaker was rationalizing how the wimmen need to sit back and make sandwiches and do laundry for the men while Andrea is on guard on top the rv.

kind of weak to not even feature any other characters, but like I said I enjoyed the dynamic between each duo of characters arguing it out in their own context... you had rick and shane, andrea and lori, andrea and maggie, and maggie and her sister.

they should keep the kid around, in my opinion. he earned his stripes and didnt freeze up like that emo pussy Glen.

You dont like Glenn turch? I think its badass, but maybe because im right around his age and the guys I chill with would be just like that hahaha.

I agree that women are emotional tweaks (being one and everything..) the little girl is just in her prime to have that kind of emotional freak out too. I see Andreas point, but you cant let a little girl make her own decisions like that expecting her to be rational.

They had to have looked over Shane doing that with the knife because during the talking dead they said it and the whole crowd and the people on the show were like "ahhhh." like it was just some mistake and not a spoiler.

Shane def didnt hear Rick out he started talkin shit right away! I think hes gonna die. 1) Infected 2) Carl will kill him like the comics 3) Dale hates him so maybe him. 3) Rick or even 4) Lori gets salty Rick didnt kill him and kills him herself (but shes a dumb weak bitch so I highly doubt she'd have the balls to do that, she'll be to busy cutting up carrots for the mens stew.

Andrea should be allowed to sit up on that RV keeping watch because she actually has the balls to be up there and protect the camp from vicious monsters but she is still a bitch, after grazing Daryls head thats all i've thought.

My dad thinks Glenn will knock up Maggie, WOULDNT THAT BE SOME SHIT HAHA.

They'll keep Randall, idk if it'll be a regret cause the kids got nerve but he could have easily bullshitted them to be able to get back at them for shooting someone in his crew.

This show is just so suspenseful, having to wait every week. Me and a few of my buddys get together every sunday and smoke a blunt while we watch it with the lights off. Its amazing.

Seriously, what is with this show that makes me go switch around characters? First I want them to survive then wanting them dead. This show literally has a bipolar disorder except of moods, it's smarts and stupidity some of these characters possess.

[checkyourprez]

last night was pretty good.


glad dales soap box got ripped open. like wtf man shit is not the way it was you cant act like it is.

i still got a bad feeling about this kid and it looks like that comes true from next weeks ep. but at this point idk if i can blame the kid. hes getting beat up tortured and they are throwing the idea of killing him around pretty liberally.


and what a dumb little shit carl was in that episode. right after shane tells him how hes gonna get himself killed he goes and fucks around in the woods with that nip blasting walker and eventually gets dale killed bc of it.

rick still doesnt have the wherewithal to lead in this kind of world. shane has it on lock. maybe after some shit goes down with this kid he will finally get it.

The Talking Dead.

I'm done with this show it can lick the balls.

Talk, talk, talk, zombies, talk, talk, talk, zombies, a character dies.

Mad boring.

Even the graphic novel is now stale. On to the next one.

[Turchinator]

I thought you were talking about the post show with Chris Hardwick aptly named Talking Dead.

I didn't care for last night's ep along the lines of BBoy20.

I find myself disagreeing with everyone about Dale and this Randall kid. I also think he could have been an asset.

why did Daryl torture him? better yet, why did they save the kid in the first place from certain death? and even if they left him 18 Miles Out, why is it a sure bet he would find his crew and return vs. either getting killed out there in a crumbling world on his own? I mean they saved his life and then decided to kill him on the spot 'cuz he knows where Maggie's Farm is?

see what I did there?

fuckin' Carl, man.

fuckin' Carl, man.


you are thinking about it wrong. let me try and explain mine (and shanes) point of view.

at this point a lot of things in this world are zero sum games. there is too much to risk in making decisions where outcomes are not clearly defined. take this kid for example. what i mean by this is say they keep this kid around, maybe he becomes an asset, maybe hes great at something. but on the flip side of that coin maybe hes not, maybe he is a shitbox, maybe he will rape and pillage and somehow go get his old gang and they over run the farm and rape the woman and kill the men in revenge.

the risk they take on by taking him in and making him one of theirs and the possible benefits he may provide is SEVERELY outweighed by the risks that go along with him. its also not worth the risk of leaving him out 18 miles if he knows where they are at. chances are he wont met up with his crew, but again, you cant take that chance. if he does meet up with crew and they come to the farm the bloods on ricks/dales/turchinators hands.


rick saved him in a heat of the moment thing because he is still thinking in the previous world. I dont think shane is "bad" and rick is "good". but i do think shane quickly realized what it takes to survive in this world, where rick has taken much longer (and maybe still hasn't fully gotten it yet) for reality to set in. dale was still firmly planted in the old world. ideally it would be nice to stay like that, but the way that other group acted and the story the kid told about raping proves you have to alter you way of thinking in a world devoid of law and order.


i do agree it is a shitty thing to do, go save his life and now torture him/possibly kill him. and now regardless of how he would have initially acted after he was saved its pretty safe to say he would harbor some anger and resentment to people who would torture and possibly kill him and who knows what he will do if they let him live.




all of this goes to the breakdown of the rule of law and order and society and the reemergence of a world ruled by the law of survival of the fittest. in that type of world your first rule is survival and protecting your group. anything that endangers the group is something that must be avoided at all costs. taking this kid in potentially endangers the group and thats why he must be killed. they really should have just left him in the first place but its too late for that.

[Turchinator]

preach. I'm not even mad. someone in another forum said I was delusional like Dale.

but I agree, there was a scene the other night where Dale didn't get the concept of survival of the fittest. he said he didn't want to live in a world like that. it's too late for that as well. I honestly thought he was going out to the field to blast his brains out.

this Randall kid still has a chance. surely he owes them his loyalty if they spare his life twice. I am holding out that he stays in the cast for season 3. one less mouth to feed with Dale being gone...

you do have a point there.

but also there went Randalls biggest advocate.


i wouldnt call either you or dale delusion, just not quite ready to accept the grim reality that lies before them. its certainly sad and sickening on many levels. an excruciating choice no doubt, but one that just has to be made given the circumstances.

[beasties#1fan]

For all the fans of the walking dead, i found these hilarious! hahahahah
btw, i havent missed 1 episode since 1st season, love the show. But lori and carl get on my nerves. well and dale...but.....yeah.

[ericlee]

Holy shit.

[BBboy20]

Holy shit.That's the first thing I told anybody after watching tonight's episode.

[ericlee]

Did anyone notice that Shane was moving a little bit when they showed him dead? You could see him breathing.

I wonder if that's cause he was crossing over or he just doesn't play a good dead guy.

[jayjacobson16]

Interesting. So everyone becomes a zombie now after death regardless of being bitten? Has the virus evolved? Is there an air born version that everyone is carrying but it doesn't affect them until after their death? Or did God underestimate the humans thinking they would not survive so long and has decided to just scrap the whole virus concept and just turn dead bodies into zombies? BTW I felt the first force of emotion when Shane died than I had in a while. For some reason i feel so bad for the character. It sucks seeing a friend kill another. Good episode.

[Turchinator]

the cat's out the bag. this must be what the doctor told Rick at the end of season 1. and it explains the headshots in the barroom shootout.

Sophie might not have been attacked after all, not that it matters.

but the one thing I don't get is all the bodies laying all over the highway at the beginning of season 2, I'd have to go back and rewatch that to see if they all haves holes in their head- maybe they got mowed down in a helicopter raid or something.

fuckin' Lori, man...

i dont really remember that, refresh if you could please.


that was a good ep. on the talking dead someone said it was like shane was trying to have rick kill him because he finally realized lori would never be with him and it would force rick do something he had to do, teach him a lesson in death.

i think its more like he was just trying to entice rick to make the first move so he wouldnt feel as bad about killing his best friend.



this season is gonna end dope tho, fucking zombie hoard about to get slayed. wonder how many people are going to die?


and i dont recall but had anyone else died a non zombie death before the two in the bar and then shane and the kid? is that just why we never have seen people turn?

[Turchinator]

before the CDC blew up in the season one Finale "TS-19", Dr. Jenner whispered something inaudible into Rick's ear. there's about 15 parody videos but this is the only one I could find with the moment from the scene intact.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCR4Z9zpWGQ&feature=related

Rick has known all throughout season 2 that once you die, you become a walker.

i.e., everyone is infected. like in the comic.

and yes, we haven't seen any non zombie deaths before the shooting in the bar and then Randall and Shane.

We all know the baby is Shanes, and Lori is the main cause of all the problems..
So idk if im going to continue watching the show without shane D:

and in that regard it means its probably daryl. but shane was close, he did the shit you needed to do in that world. rick is too puss at times to be the leader in a world with no rules.


but still, i am sad to see him go. and lori really is a dumb c u next tuesday.

what in the effing world was that samurai wielding dungeon master?!?!

looks like they got a nice base camp for next year if they choose to go that route.


and i really cannot believe lori. a complete bitch. first off she pits rick against his best friend. saying "he has to do what is necessary". then she gets shane stirred up with that little talk she has. then she gets mad when he kills him? like wtf bitch, chick is bipolar for sure.

Now that they know that they are all infected........why try to survive....like for what? unless they find a cure...but common'.
& why WAS lori mad? i think because she loved shane.
heated episode, i must say.

[Turchinator]

madness.

lori remains my most hated character. I always liked Andrea, Dale, and Shane. Carol is an annoying homebody. Glenn grew on me. T-dog is the silent killer and Daryl is a badass along the lines of that samurai bitch.

get the kid playing carl acting lessons and we are set for season 3 at the prison. I wonder of we will ever see Daryl's brother or Randall's friends...

sorry about letting the cat out the bag like that. I was just spitballing my theories. sure enough, they are all infected.

but I would want to stay alive as possible vs just blow my brains out.

[BBboy20]

but I would want to stay alive as possible vs just blow my brains out.If they start showing signs of change, then they may do so. We don't know what being "infected" means so the best case scenario is that you simply become a Walker after death.

until you become one then I sure as shit would try and stay alive. why not? finding a cure for those that are already walkers like hershal wanted was dumb. but i dont see why possibly getting a cure for those still living is that bad of an idea.

They aren't sick or affected by the virus. Why would they just give up? It's not until they die does it take over. It's obviously not as powerful as the version that kills you on it's own.

EL OH FUCKING EL WITH THESE PICTURES.

Turch- Sophia had a massive bite mark on her neck with blood running down her back, the scene where Carl is in the forest they slowly zoom in on him and the camera goes right past that little hole by the river Rick told Sophie to hide into which is right by where the zombie was stuck in the ground.. so if you think about it maybe she got stuck in that mud, then bit, then herded into the barn.

Shane was man power, thats the only reason I see his death as a loss.. He needed to go imo he was dangerous but he was man power that the group could have used in that huge herd that took over the farm.
(Not to mention hes really REALLY fucking sexy.)

Anyone else like Loris little three bullet spree on the porch? I lold at that I was like yeah okay cause you needed to do that.


As for the infection being airborne (which is what I assume at this point) it must only be able to attack the dead because they dont have an immune system anymore? Also, maybe the bite is what gives you the fever which is your actual cause of death and then you come back? Hmmm.

fuck me I can't wait for season 3!

I can't wait to see who that hooded swordsman with 2 walkers(I'd say zombies but you can't as it's 'Walkers' now....but ah ...) is.

I was thinking that he has 2 'walkers' on chains to blend in with free walkers when he's out and about and he's cut their arms off so they can't scratch him and maybe he's took all their teef out too.

I just read back and noticed the sword person is MICHONNE.I haven't read the books myself so yeah,interesting.

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

Michonne!


RIGHT THE FUCK ON!

I just finished reading every issue of the comic in three days, my boyfriend ordered volumes 1-15 (waiting for the newest volume to come out in June!:D) and we sat and read them constant. Watching the show after reading those made everything x10 crazier! I watched the first episode the other day also it still blows my mind.

Omg so being as it is that everyone is already infected, what does that mean for them?! Do they ONLY turn if they die? Will it kill them off eventually? Does the bite only kill you because of the fever? Its going insane. Rick is really losing it "this isnt a democracy anymore" Rick fucking Grimes is the man.

It sucks the season is over, but it starts again in october! they revealed the picture of the guy whos gonna be playing the governor! who here else has read 'le comics?

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

Ricks gettin so wild! Carl is going all rambo, but im a little worried hes gonna become psychotic growing up in this world..

[Freebasser]

Just watched the second episode and I'm starting to get concerned about where this is going. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was great TV but the producers of this show need to decide (and quickly) just what kind of show it is that they are trying to make.

Seasons 1 and 2 were about relationships - it's what the comic is all about after all - the struggles people face with coming to terms with a hopeless world. As we know, a certain percentage of the audience for this show turned out to be popcorn-munching, attention-span-challenged folks who repeatedly complained about the slow pacing, especially during season 2. I get the feeling that the majority of these people hadn't read the comics, as it's not uncommon for the comic to go 2-3 months worth of issues without so much much as a whiff of a zombie.

Now it appears that in order to sate the appetite of the popcorn munchers, the producers have gone batshit insane with ratings lust and are going to rip through the prison storyline like a wet curry fart through a pair of moth-eaten boxer shorts. The whole build-up of tension from the comics surrounding the group's uneasy acceptance, and then gradual distrust, of the prisoners they are forced to share their meager existence with, reduced to an hour-long episode. Great TV; I'm sure popcorn sales went through the roof this week - I mean, did you see that guy's head split? OMG LOL!!!1, but all that tension... straight down the shitter.

We still have stuff that isn't in the comics to fill the void (such as the return of Merle) but these pacing issues are starting to worry me and if they rush the Governor story line - if they breeze through it in a matter of episodes - I struggle to see myself retaining much interest beyond the season's end.

[Documad]

I cancelled my season pass on the DVR.

[Waus]

these pacing issues are starting to worry me and if they rush the Governor story line - if they breeze through it in a matter of episodes - I struggle to see myself retaining much interest beyond the season's end.

That worried me too. He went from "seems like a good guy" to :eek: in about 5 minutes. Maybe they're still trying to sort of figure out how to translate the comic to a television format.

I tried to explain to someone the other day, "yeah - it was all black and white and mostly just faces talking to each other." I think the tv audiences may not have the patience for it - or rather, there's more than enough alternatives on TV that offer that kind of thing without zombies.

[TAL]

Woo Woo Woodbury! I hope we get to see the Governor's daughter!

[checkyourprez]

I thought every episode so far was badass.


I enjoyed the first two seasons, had no problem with the pacing like some, but by far some of the cooliest shit on the show is them killing zombies.

.....and they been killing a lot of zombs.

Great TV; I'm sure popcorn sales went through the roof this week - I mean, did you see that guy's head split? OMG LOL!!!1, but all that tension... straight down the shitter.

speaking as someone who's never read the comics and only has the tv show (and the video game (which btw is excellent and captures the feel of the show very very well and you should get it)) to base his opinions off of, i didn't really feel like the prison plotline is being hurried through or anything--i think the fast pace of that episode kind of makes sense with the way the show is going and the characters are developing

in seasons 1 and 2, rick would agonize over every hard decision, deciding what to do with troublesome characters like randall and shane could take episodes or even seasons for him to sort out, because he was conflicted between trying to do the right thing and survival.

but since the farm fell, and he's transformed into a more hard-hearted and machiavellian character, it makes sense for him to meet and kill a character in the span of only one episode--it reflects how he's changed and put morality to the side in favor of more utilitarian principles.

again--haven't read the comics, only have the show to go off of, so i don't have a frame of reference to compare anything to, but as a free-standing episode, i thought it made sense just fine...


anyway i just started watching the show about 2 weeks ago and am now all caught up so i can read this thread finally! huzzah!

speaking as someone who's never read the comics and only has the tv show (and the video game (which btw is excellent and captures the feel of the show very very well and you should get it)) to base his opinions off of, i didn't really feel like the prison plotline is being hurried through or anything--i think the fast pace of that episode kind of makes sense with the way the show is going and the characters are developing

in seasons 1 and 2, rick would agonize over every hard decision, deciding what to do with troublesome characters like randall and shane could take episodes or even seasons for him to sort out, because he was conflicted between trying to do the right thing and survival.

but since the farm fell, and he's transformed into a more hard-hearted and machiavellian character, it makes sense for him to meet and kill a character in the span of only one episode--it reflects how he's changed and put morality to the side in favor of more utilitarian principles.

again--haven't read the comics, only have the show to go off of, so i don't have a frame of reference to compare anything to, but as a free-standing episode, i thought it made sense just fine...


anyway i just started watching the show about 2 weeks ago and am now all caught up so i can read this thread finally! huzzah!

you have to think though that there will come times in the lives of the people we are following in this show have interactions with zombies and other humans still throughout the world. and the fact that the world has turned into an us vs. them type of world, humans will view other humans as threats a lot, they will be coming into conflict with other humans. not to mention having to continuously kill zombies. sometimes theres a lot of zombies. there are 7 billion potentials out there.

so thats why i dont find the pacing too fast in these last couple episodes. like it makes sense there are a lot of zombies and humans still living in a prison, with the ability to have so many parts of the prison locked off/safe/wandering. but then almost trapped in at the same time.


which is why it makes for a perfect place to live once you clear it. the faster they kill everything in there the better for them.


welcome to the club bob. this is one of 4 shows i actively look forward to new episodes.

[Kid Presentable]

I like that it nods to the comics, but it's a good show in its own right.

I didn't read the comics. I think the pacing is fine. Not hard to figure the gov was gonna be crooked.

yeah, it was pretty instantly obvious that something was wrong with him and woodbury. any time that the show spent trying to tell you anything otherwise would have been kind of pointless. although i will maybe admit that jumping from "meet this character" to "he murders soldiers and has a room full of heads-in-jars" in the span of one episode was slightly abrupt, i didn't mind much, and i do want to know what happens next

Good, solid episode this week.

In regard to the early reveal about how twisted The Governor is - that's pretty much how quickly it's dealt with in the comic. In TWD's paper form, it's obvious from the get-go that he's not to be trusted - mainly because he looks like Danny Trejo's greasier brother on a bad hair day. The way they've cast him in the TV series is probably why it might've seemed so jarring when we cut to him staring at his 'collection', as he appears much more realistic in his TV iteration and more of an everyman than his comic book counterpart, so it's naturally more shocking to find out he gets off on killing people without hesitation.

Which leads me to my sole problem with this week's episode, and it's purely a 'Hollywood' problem: A fighting-fit military unit who are well supplied, well fed and greatly experienced, is taken completely by surprise by a ragtag bunch of bandits (one-armed bandits, in Merle's case).

Not only do they not fire any warning shots at The Governor's rapidly approaching car, order him to drop to the floor or take cover behind any of the vehicles, like a group of soldiers under martial law would probably not hesitate to do, but not one of these highly-trained professionals react to The Governor raising his weapon by returning fire instantly.

Just how did Merle's group manage to sneak into a field 100 yards away from the soldiers in broad daylight without being seen? Surely they were looking out for something - like their helicopter or, I dunno, (and stick with me, 'cos this might sound crazy) the flesh-crazed reanimated corpses wandering around every-fucking-where? No soldiers survive while the Woodbury mercenaries remain unharmed without anyone receiving so much as a scratched buttock.

Yay for plot holes!

[Freebasser]

Also, the game is great fun. Although calling it a game is pushing it as it's more of an interactive comic book to be fair.

But yes, great fun - and it links up with comic books well. If you think Lilly is a bitch in the game, just read the comics ;)

[Bob]

were they greatly experienced, though? for some reason i had it in my head that they were national guardsmen who (not to knock the national guard) were perhaps panicked or exhausted or let their guard down at the sight of friendly faces and that's why the woodbury guys got the jump on them...or something i dunno

it does seem odd that in a show where nobody ever seems to miss a headshot whenever they fire their gun that the only characters so far who don't seem to know how to fight have been soldiers, now that you mention it

[checkyourprez]

i did find it weird as i was watching it that the army dudes couldn't even get their guns up and buck a shot or anything. just got smoked. a little weak.

but thats really my only complaint. such a good show, def looking forward to sunday.

[BBboy20]

i did find it weird as i was watching it that the army dudes couldn't even get their guns up and buck a shot or anything. just got smoked. a little weak.I think they were all shot up at the same time; the moment a gun was trained at every one of them, they were fucked.

[beasties#1fan]

Craziest episode thus far!!!!!!!!!
This show does not disappoint! Who sabotaged them!!! Ahhhhhhhh

[checkyourprez]

I think they were all shot up at the same time; the moment a gun was trained at every one of them, they were fucked.

yeah but they didnt even duck or raise their weapons. i rewatched it agian today.

[beasties#1fan]

I'm I the only fan who cried this episode? I hated Lori, but I still cried. Crazy ass shit. (No beastie pun intended)

[pshabi]

Hated Lori, didn't cry, but def was sad.

[BBboy20]

Am I the only person who cared more for T-Dawg then Lori? I didn't like his depiction of his death and I was like literally emotionless in regards of Lori death.

[beasties#1fan]

I think it was the way it was set up. They wanted it to be more shocking/crazy to the audience how Lori died, since we have all been expecting the baby to come any day. But Lori was always the most hated character, along with Carl, so i was surprised to see how much emotion the producers put into her death....

I was still shocked when T-dawg died.

Plus during the Talking Dead, they talked more about T-dawgs death than Lori's, they barely brought her up! Did anyone else notice that? I was just like.........
:confused:

[pshabi]

Anyone else think of the possibility that Carl didn't shoot Lori? Maybe he couldn't do it and just fired a shot to make Maggie think he could? The producers left that possibility out there. A zombie Lori would be pretty sick. Uterus all hanging out and shit.

i think he did it. but that is an interesting hypothesis.

i think carl is pretty hard these days and he knows what he has to do. he blasted shane no problem.


but im not going to lie, i cried. not necessarily for lori, but more so because of the mother son dynamic. hit close to home with what has happened in the past year for me.

[Bob]

tbh i was always kind of surprised that t-dawg lived as long as he did. he was always just kind of...there in the background. apart from the stint of emotion at the beginning of the show where he had to grapple with accidentally leaving merle for dead, and that one bit where he had a fever and got all shaney, but then got well and snapped out of it, he never had much going on. he was basically a black jim, he was just sort of...there. but for much longer

having said that, he was such a cemented and taken-for-granted piece of background that i was genuinely surprised and upset to see him get bit and ripped out of it so suddenly

is it just me, or was carol's death kind of left on the cutting room floor? maybe i was accidentally checking my email at the time or something, but she seemed to be making a break for it, and then suddenly later darryl's solemnly holding up a bloody towel and is that a carollish-looking dead body in the background? if you squint a little? i think i heard a character mutter something about her being dead, i guess she's dead? can't think about this now, here comes carl and maggie with good news and bad news


i don't care what the blogs say, i liked carol

[checkyourprez]

i dont think Carol died Bob. It just seemed that way because T-Dog was dead there and her shit was on the ground.


and lets be for real, she couldn't have died. Or else that means T-Dog died in vain. And the token black man ain't goin out like that bruh.

[HEIRESS]

Lori is so not gone yet (whether she somehow survives or comes back as a zombie) otherwise they would have had her as a guest on the Talking Dead afterwards.

I didn't get teary until Rick lost his shit at the end, someone better give that man an Emmy next year.

[TimDoolan]

I'm I the only fan who cried this episode? I hated Lori, but I still cried. Crazy ass shit. (No beastie pun intended)

I started to tear up a little.

[Bob]

I didn't get teary until Rick lost his shit at the end,


yeah, that was hard to watch. in like, a good, dramatic way, but hard


here's a question: i'm no women's health expert, but if they knew that cutting her open to do a c-section was going to kill her (which, from the way they were talking before the surgery, they did), couldn't they have just shot her in the head before doing it so that they didn't have to cut open her womb with a (probably pretty gnarly) knife and no anesthesia? i mean they just shot her a minute later anyway. why put her through that first? how long does it take before being inside of a dead woman starts to be a problem for a baby? i bet there's a grace period.

the thoughts this show makes me have, i swear

[checkyourprez]

idk how much oxygen a dead pregnant woman holds for her baby. but its a good point. albiet shitty, who would have done it?

[checkyourprez]

like its one thing to shoot your already dead mom to prevent her from becoming a zombie. but entirely different to have to it to her while shes still living regardless of the situation.

Yeah Rick's reaction made me cry HARDER! Lol no joke, all the actors in the walking dead are hella good, but it's kinda sad because Lori thought Rick didn't like her towards the end (don't blame him) and then he reacted like that.. It was just like.. Whoa

[Bob]

i guess it would be a pretty hard thing to ask a child to do, yeah

[Waus]

Right in the feel.

It's a credit to Andrew Lincoln that he could convey the nuanced bitterness amidst his abiding love for Lori.

[Freebasser]

all the actors in the walking dead are hella good

Except the bint who plays Andrea. Jesus christ... I've seen Tory politicians with more charisma. She brings shame upon her comic book namesake :mad:

That was a fucking great episode. Perfect balance between talky talky and bitey bitey. Sad to see T-Dog go - thought they might mould him into a Tyreese (from the comic) style character as he seemed to be supplying more and more muscle in the background of Rick and Daryl's scenes. Liquor is being poured on the ground as I type this.

Carol ain't dead - we still need to see her and Daryl have a hillbilly love-in after all ;)

CONTINUITY ERROR OF THE WEEK
Did anyone else notice the bloody baby/clean baby/bloody baby error? Also, that was one magical self-breaking umbilical cord, fo' sho'!

[Bob]

Also, that was one magical self-breaking umbilical cord, fo' sho'!

oh, but that would have been gross, nobody wanted to watch that

i dunno about andrea. i mean i don't especially like her much, but it makes sense for her to be played kind of angsty and passionless, on account of how she's all nihilistic since her sister died. side note: she sounds and looks pretty similar to The Boss (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMF0Y1yiBNw#t=1m50s) from metal gear solid 3 and it weirds me out. not her though.

[beasties#1fan]

Did anyone else notice the bloody baby/clean baby/bloody baby error? Also, that was one magical self-breaking umbilical cord, fo' sho'!
Actually i didnt notice that :0

[Junker]

What about those phone calls?
I didn't like that solution to put Rick back together in his way. I mean... the guy was passing through a rough moment losing Lori and shit. But phone calls from the other side was kind of.... mehh.
