dirtybomb Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Anyone catch The Walking Dead on AMC? So far it looks like it's going to be a great series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I watched it Sunday night. It was looking like it might just be pretty good. I gotta remember to DVR it. I'm not usually home Sunday nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 It seems like it could be OK. I'll be interested to see how long they can keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebg3 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I saw it, looks like it will be a good series. I even like when the deputy took his Glock off safe with an audible click at the start of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninemmbill Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 The show is off to a good start, hopefully they can make a good run of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 With the sort of attention to detail emblematic of their approach to firearms, how could it be anything but great? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I thought it was entertaining, but am curious how they can expand what is normally a 2 hour story arc into a long lasting series. I mean, zombies are zombies, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 They have a series of comics/graphic novels to work from, about 75 issues or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRev1911 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Turning the glock safety off will go down as a classic blunder. But overall, I enjoyed the show and look forward to where it may lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddler Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I liked it. I liked the portrayal of sympathy for the zombies and the despair of the living. I didn't like the coming out of a coma thing, it was stolen from 28 Days Later and was not as effective in this show. We'll see where they go from here.

xsniper Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I have never gotten into the Zombie thing , but this was pretty cool. I too like the torment of the living. The preview looks as if the "old partners" might have a tiff on the way . I just wonder how long can this series last. I also think this just proves....you can't have too much ammo .

ParaGunner Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I think he should of started that tank up and started running all the zombies over while firing the cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Just for the sake of argument, I own a Glock with a safety. Its a Cominolli manual thumb saftey and was installed after market. Its my understanding that Glock has offered this option factory installed to some LE agencies as well? It even makes a light click when disengaged. And I bet the Tank was out of ammo and gas, before it was overwhelmed by zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I bet the Tank was out of ammo and gas, before it was overwhelmed by zombies. The novel "World War Z" has an interesting point about the zombie horde versus modern military. There is a interesting scene described in the book how Bradleys and M1s with Paladin fire support take on the zombie horde. However, the firepower just got absorbed because you have to get the head shot. Thought to ponder in the zombie genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was trying to lure his wife to the house so he could put her out of her misery. Then he was unable to follow through on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care if they make Glocks with safeties. I have never seen one and it is universally accepted that a "typical" Glock does not have one.

But he's an idio and should have thought it through a little more before he started blasting zombies outside his house with his kid downstairs. Lol I know it's jus a show but some of the things that these characters do are just dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfinney Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) Yeah, don't these characters ever watch Zombie movies? The main character especially seems a little slow on the uptake. I mean, heck he got shot by the THIRD guy to jump out of the wrecked car, and surprise them..... seems they would have figured out to search the car after the second unexpected guy jumped out. As to Glocks with safeties, yes it is my pet peeve in movies as well, even though I own one. But I was throwing that out there to nit pick that they do exist, if not common. Like average Zombie movie fans - I don't really care if they make them with brains. I have never seen one and it is universally accepted that a "typical" fan does not have one.
