The Walking Dead

I just finished up disc two (eps 5-8) and I actually really love the fact it's character driven rather than just looking for obvious action scenes. Episode 7 has my favourite part so far:
[spoiler]They finally find Carol's daughter at Hershel's farm after Shane lets all the walkers out. Rick shoots the kid in the head.[/spoiler]

That is indeed a great scene. A good example of those playing out differently in the comics as well (e.g. [spoiler]it happens much sooner after their arrival[/spoiler])

Seasons 1 and 2 will replay on TV in early 2013 in black and white as per the comics...

But Darabont is no longer involved...? I put out a black and white version of The Mist, so it would fit his preference, apparently, but since he was fired even before season 2...

I saw it in Facebook earlier today... That is your brother, or have you lost some weight (since your avatar picture)...?

That is me... and yes... lost a bit. I been doing a lot of walking lately. Seems to be the best kind of exercise I have found for myself. Been taking an hour and a half walk 3 to 4 times a week. Problem is... all my cloths is starting to fall off me!

Awesome! Almost didn't recognise you compared to the avatar picture... (ignoring the zombification).

Yes, "just walking" is supposed to be a great way to loose weight. Don't get that pulse too high! I only walk about twice per week and that merely helps me to keep my weight

I did a marathon this weekend and plowed through all 4 discs of season 3. A friend and I started Saturday and then just couldn't stop until it was all done. We even lost track of how many we'd already done at some point

Season 3 is a lot more action packed than season 2, which is generally a good thing. Although in the early episodes I had the feeling once or twice that a zombie scene was played out just so we'd get some action and that it was not motivated by the story. I guess they didn't want those complains like in season 2 again.

Since we had lost track of how many we had already done it ended sooner than we expected (I kept thinking there should be 2 episodes on disc 5, but it did finish on disc 4).

[spoiler]Not sure how I think of the Governor just killing everyone and then running off. It seemed a tad extreme, but then he had become rater unhinged. I also couldn't quite see the motivation why they killed off Andrea, her arc wasn't really one of redemption; did the actress want out?[/spoiler]

I am very much looking forward to season 4. Although, either I have to add the appropriate channel to my TV selection of wait for the Blu next summer.

I still haven't seen this show. Maybe I'll get to it sometime.
