Walking Dead

I was surprised to hear next week's ep is the final one in the series. Very short for a US series, no? It's usually the British who produce 6-episode seasons...

Generally impressed. It can be a bit slow at places, but far more enjoyable than I thought it'd be.

Where did you hear that? According to Digiguide there's going to be at least 7 episodes, maybe more (that's as far forward as it goes).

Edit: IMDb says 10.
 
Excellent penultimate episode, the acting was fantastic.

Like the fact that the Zombies aren't even the focus, the characters are perfectly capable of killing each other and themselves through stupidity / fear :D

The sudden shift to the CDC facility was like the 'hatch' reveal in Lost too, proper WTF moment.
 
Lost started out fantastically well but went rapidly downhill. I didn't even bother with the last half of the final episode, it was just that silly.
 
Can we list stuff we hate now? Good.

Star Wars, especially all of it.
The Lord of the Rings. Unreadable dribblings loved by hippies and made into films by Nytol.
Bladerunner: boring film about who cares.
 
Great final episode, lots of plot strands still left open and a suitably creepy performace from the doctor sealing everyone in.

The redneck (brother of the guy they left on the roof) is turning into my favourite character, he's all business :cool:

Intrigued to see where they go from here, is it true they've condensed a lot of the Graphic Novel into these 6 episodes?
 
It was a very good episode, but I had hoped to see a bigger cliffhanger at the end perhaps. Still, look forward to the second series.

He was good but I preferred the father and son from the first ep, really hope we see them again (anyone remember the dad from the BBC drama The State Within?)...

sweet so breaking bad and this both at about the same time. Good times.

Oh and entourage for a completly different pace.

It as generally excellent but the final episode was pants.. the mad doctor should have gone all day of the dead and experimented on them.. or they should not have bothered with the cdc at all.

Seems like Kirkman agreed: http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/12/01/the-walking-dead-fire-writing-staff-move-to-freelancers/ rumours are they sacked the writers..

Although I didn't like the prison based plot culldesac in the Comics 'the governor' was a hell of a baddy..

As it is 2nd series will be 13 episodes with one possibly penned by Stephen King..

(although if its shite I rekon the network will can it after about 5)

Yeah, but otherwise very good.

Yeah, I agree. Perhaps I've been led to expect too much from the likes of Lost or Prison Break, which had bloody good cliffhangers every week. But then again both series ended up in disgrace IMO, so on reflection I'd rather have a well-written story that is not primary driven by short-term ratings.

In answer to bouncer_the_dog's post above, being an American production I'm still surprised this was allowed to run to just six episodes. That's great news IMO: most often when an American drama series is commissioned, it is made to last 12 if not 24 episodes regardless of whether the story can realistically support such extensive material.
 
Just watched the last episode. Fuck me, what a pile of fucking shit! Do they think we're all morons? Or is it that yanks are all fucking morons? It made no sense, and even a zombie would be able to realise that.

"What's that clock for?"

"It shows how long there is till the fuel runs out."

"Oh, okay, I'll just ignore the fact that it says '2 hours' ang go for a stroll then"

Gggrrrrrr

Nice touch with the French being the last to hold out tho
