So now that its over, what are your thoughts on the entire episode in general?

I thought it was pretty lackluster.
I liked it. It gave me the gimps at Z-day I was hoping for. Filled in some holes in the "what the hell is going on with the rest of the world?" question. And was all around a rather suspenseful episode.

I seriously can't believe it. I am a major graphic and effect whore and I was surprised at how great it looked. I thought they were going to fail big time, but that was one of the best explosions I've seen in a while. Were we watching the same thing, or did you guys just not get what type of explosion it was or what explosions look like?

My emotion's for Shane are all over the place.


This. So much this.

Also, I hate it when people spoil stuff for people. I had some pretty huge things spoiled for me, but they haven't happened yet.

Also, Next season is 13 episodes long and will start next October.

To be honest I've thought the season was rather dull. Sure it had a decent story, but it just "okay."

Luckily the season finale made up for most of it. Loved it.

I wanted Shane to die


Yeah, Shane should've die after trying to -blam!- Lori and pointing his shotgun at Rick in the 5th Ep.

Well guys, it's been awesome. I want to personally thank you all for making this season even better than it would have been. I've enjoyed this thoroughly.

Let's bump this thread every so often with show updates to keep it from being archived, and get ready for season two!

just rename it The Walking Dead season 1 Official Discussion Thread. so when season two comes out make a new one
Would it not be cooler to have a complete transcript of our time with the entire show in one thread?

Sounds pretty epic to me.

My season 1 review:

Absolutely brilliant. Just finished the season finale, and the show lived up to the hype and then some. Excellent throughout and thoroughly ingenious. The zombie apocalypse is used more as a backdrop for the characters, which are extremely well developed. Brilliant first season, only marred by the number of episodes (then again, the quality of each episode is way above most shows currently airing and quantity =/= quality).

Season 1 gets 9/10 imo for being -blam!- fantastic, feeling like the source material even with the massive divergences and for being a character driven show instead of focusing on how much guts can be displayed at once on screen. gg AMC.

EDIT: I also like how they didn't answer where the virus came from. I like that they don't focus on that in the comics and I was pleased with how they handled it here.

What happened to Morgan and his son? And Mearl(even if he was a douche)?

No one has heard from Morgan in a long time, so he could possibly be dead. Merle has disappeared and won't reappear until at least Season 2, but he could possibly be stalking the survivors.

We're not sure. The guy who plays Mearl said in an interview that we will see him again.

im actually a bit upset that they never talk about where the infection came from... IDK i just like to know as much background info as possible (and thats probably why i liked the 28x series).

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

So, here's my prediction for season 2. The doctor whispered to Frank how to get to the nearest operational military base/airport. When they get there, they're going to go to France. Season 2 will take place in France.

Actually, if I had the figures with me, I could say this instead;

If the show had a lot of views, then:

Season 2 would be them getting to France.

Season 3 would be in France.

But thats just my opinion.

Hey, in order to give this thread a little more fuel I thought I'd start a similar disscussion within the thread.

Who is your favorite character? It can be from the comics or the books.

Say who it is, why he/her is your favorite and at what moment did you begin to love this character?

Mine would be Rick, hands down. An amazing father and husband, a leader and just plain heroic. His determination to keep his family alize is compelling.

The part when I fell in love with Rick is not a paticular instance but his nature. His compassion and kindness towards people is noble. When he went back for the walkie talkie is an example.

2nd would be Darrel. He's very harsh, a bad-ass and a brute. But when he lightens up and shows kindness to people is the best. When he saw Jim dieing and simply nodded and walked away. (When before he was planning to axe him.)

So floody who's your fave character?

Ad don't post comicbook spoilers, noone gives a -blam!- you've read them. Heck i've read every issue to date and I keep the epic sauce to come to my self, so you can to.
