The more I read in to the graphic novels, the more I'm starting to think that "The Walking Dead" title refers not to the zombies, but to our little cast of characters...turn of a phrase..."dead man walking"...

Yeah. It does. Cool, huh?

Well...

I guess the group dynamics are changing.

Harsh episode. Real harsh.

I know dale wasn't a popular character and I found him annoying. But sorry to see him go. At least he was someone that stood for something.

I was secretly hoping Carl would get bit. The kid needs a beating.

Exactly! I mean, just look at the cover...

*spoiler alert*

I hope the finale is - for lack of better terms - explosive. Dale's gone, we know that Shane doesn't make it through the season, and from what I understand, there are far fewer of the original members when they make it to the next location. Plus, a couple of major characters still need to be introduced...which means bye bye to a lot of people I would think.


....I know the show deviates from the comics, but I really wish I had time to read them. I feel like there is a lot more going on. Plus I don't have to wait a whole week every time to see what happens next :laugh2:

Man, that is a pretty bad way to go for poor Dale, but this was probably not the way it was originally planned when they started out.

He had worked with the original producer for years and I read that he asked to be let out of his contract when Darabont was let go. He later rescinded his request, but it looks like the head folks at AMC didn't care at that point.

That show last night had pretty close to zero relationship with the comic.

It was worse for Dale in the comic.

I don't know, he really gave a lot to those hunters before he passed away. :D

The only issue I have with last night's episode is the apparent relative ease the Z tore open the stomach of a cow and the with relative ease tore open Dale's midsection.

It was bad enough that an emaciated zombie was able to hold Dale down, but to have the strength to tear open a man's stomach?

I think the original "Dawn of the Dead" is terrific, however I've got a buddy who just hates the scene towards the end of the flick, where the motorcycle gang breaks into the mall, letting all the walking dead in with them.

One of the motorcycle knuckhead's has put his arm in an eletronic game that measures strength (or maybe it was love ability?)– Doesn't matter. Anyway, the yawhoo is sitting there with his arm in this machine and a couple of the walking dead come by, grab'em and he gets his arm ripped off (it's seen laying in the machine as he gets dragged away).

My buddy hates that scene because it makes the zombies seem much more powerful than what they exhibit throughout most of the movie.

Same thing for me and last night's episode. The whole thing about the zombie first being able to pin Dale to the ground for any length of time and then be able to rip open his stomach just screamed "illogical" to me.

True...but then again, Dale is pretty old :laugh2:
