You knew that horse was toast when he rode into the city.

Have they explained what happened for things to be like that yet?

I did a quick google search, so here you go ddrew. Enjoy lol

I'm sure this doesn't have much to do with the series,but I always wondered how the first zombie came to be. Geez did that make sense?

Looks good so far, they pretty much stole the beginning of 28 days later though! good to see some english actors in there though

Iirc the comic book started before 28 days later or the script was older, something like that. I vaguely recall Kirkman addressing exactly that issue in the 'letters' section.

IMO the comic got stale around issue #50 and I quit reading it.

The TV show looks promising the so far. No idea how much of the comic book gets covered, though.

Btw. as long as I've read the comic it was never explained how zombie nation came to be.

Story really isn't about how it got that way. Story (at least in the comic) was about how these characters continued to LIVE (and many of them die) in the face of this sort of ultimate doomsday scenario. It was about exploring what happens over the long haul to society, to people, to families, to morality.

At least that's how I read it.

Hope the series doesn't fuck it up too bad.

Cheers for that info, hadn't realised :)

Are they going to stay true to the storyline from the comics?

i watched it last night and thought it was pretty damn good. some of the makeup on the zombies(the first shot with the rifle by the father)was extremely disappointing, but......
i just hope they didn't blow there budget on the first episode to get everyone excited, just to have a B series afterwords.....
tuned in.......

I wonder what the plan is now?...where would you go?...I would head towards a military installation and look for supplies.

I understand heading to the CDC, but why with less then a day before being destroyed?

If it was me, I would head to a port or coastland to get a boat. I would use a boat to setup a post on an island close to land. Or a secure location like a prison or military base to setup a barricade.

No. There're a lot of scenes in the TV show that weren't in the comics and some events didn't happen the same way.
But in essence the TV show is the same zombie survival horror story that the comic book is.
I've liked this 6 episodes.

YES!!! Maybe the blonde chick...turned into a zombie.. then BowChickiWowWow... Walking Dead porno! :D

Nice Carl Sagan quote in your sig. ddrew, its my favorite one! Love Sagan....Cosmos kicks ass!

I wish they knew the damn building that runs off of generators was running low on fuel the night before!!
All it would've taken was for the Dr. to simply say,
"Hey, the diesel runs out tomorrow morning and blows the place to shits! You want warm showers, electricity, bullet proof glass windows, voice activated computer and VIDEO GAMES!?!? GET SOME FUEL."

Diesel wouldn't have been THAT hard to find....bring a couple of those 55 gal drums, two man team to fill em up. They HAVE cars..and guns.

They had a funckin' FORTRESS!!! Sheesh. Dumbass scientist let it all go to shit...

Spoiled bastard...gotta ruin it for everybody.

Im just sayin....Im juuuuuust sayin.

its cool to see georgia and the city in this show.

i think its a decent show, kinda soap opera-ey tho.

my only issue is that zombies are dumb, why dont they just build platforms and fly aroundin helicopters, then they couldnt get you
