The Walking Dead...

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

Well, you would think his skin would be old & leathery... Not soft as a baby's bottom– Like Brain's...

Or at least that's what Yeags told me.

Once you got through the skin I doubt it would be too hard to break the ribs and tear the skin some more.

Guy on talking dead said the zombies fingers would be bonier so it could penetrate the skin easier.

Who knows.

Plus add into it that some have described zombies as stronger than an average human as they are just purely driven to kill and do not think of anything else.

LOL!!!

The old "boney-finger" trick huh?

Oh-kay! LOL!

You would think their slowness would be an indicator of their decreased strength... But who knows huh?

At least not yet.

Well! JUST finished reading the graphic novel (Compendium One) that gathers up issues 1-48.

Wow.

Issue 48 is well ahead of where we are now in the TV show, to be sure. And I'm sure the TV show will end up nothing like what the end of #48 ended up like....boggle! Wow.

Someone said that they would be surprised if the TV show goes down some of the deep dark paths that the comic has, and I completely agree. There is SO MUCH in this that it boggles the mind. These 48 issues could easily have been quadrupled or more, that I have read.

These are not "comics". Not for children whatsoever. Very, very mature. Language beyond belief just for starters. And if the TV show goes into anything CLOSE to what happens between the Governor and Michonne, holy mackerel. I've never seen such, ERRRR, I'll stop there.

The TV show, to me, is not living up to what I've seen in the graphic novel.

So now I need to figure out what to order next...what to read next for this? I think that Compendium Two is near but not sure it's out...I doubt it. Perhaps I should wait for it.

Any thoughts on how Shane meets his demise?

In the comic, Carl does the trick.

Will the show go down that path?

I think maybe yes, that this past show might be building up to Carl pulling the trigger. On Shane. As happened in the graphic novel.

I thought it was a pretty good episode, however the last twenty minutes or so was pretty intense. There was a ton going on...almost too much. You had the vote on the fate of the outlaw kid, the scene of Carl watching his dad almost pulling the trigger, and then the demise of Dale. That's a lot to pack in to that last act of the episode.

So now I need to figure out what to order next...what to read next for this? I think that Compendium Two is near but not sure it's out...I doubt it. Perhaps I should wait for it.

If I'm not mistaken Compendium One is episodes 1-8. Amazon has all the way up to 15 listed, just not in one collection, so they're available. I know this summer that's what I'm going to be reading...just from reading summaries of some of the episodes I seem to think it's a lot deeper than the show, and I'm really intrigued. Definitely gonna go that route.

I say no. Rick v. Shane has built up way more than the comic book ever approached. It would kind of stink if it didn't end up being something centered solely around those two.

Agreed. It'll be Lori. :laugh2:

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Agreed. It'll be Lori. :laugh2:

The other thought I had about this is if they'll keep it open-ended, meaning it's not clear whether Shane met his ultimate demise or not.

I've enjoyed his character. It's been an interesting character to follow from episode to episode and I'll miss the character and the back & forth across the line that separates good vs bad.

Sweet - thanks!

I've heard that in the comics they hole up in a prison after leaving the farm. Personally, I'd stay away from anywhere where the original occupants did nothing but shoot steroids and lift weights all day.

A retirement center would be more my speed; they don't have any teeth and they could barely move when they were alive...

Death by gumming would be a bad way to go .

Just re-watched the end of last week's episode and I still don't get the whole "Zombie being able to not only hold Dale down but puncturing his stomach with one hand and then ripping him right open with both hands... While at the same time still holding Dale down."

 

[Lodeus]

Oh snap!

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Carl does kill Shane... Just like in the comic... Well re-kills him anyway.

Another very intense episode.

And we learn that yes, circumstances exist so that anyone who dies does come back– bite or not.

Great episode. They've really picked up the pace from the first half of the season. Am sorry to see the end of Shane.
