And so the waiting begins!

tell me about it

ive never understood how the Yanks can stand starting new programmes then getting started and pausing for 13 weeks before resuming its just plain stoopid.
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

The amount of advertisements they have during an episode is ridonculous.

I guess there's plenty of the telly over there during the holiday season. Sports and all as well.

I really like season 2 so far. They do need to get a move on with Sophia tbh. They're lagging.  

Anyone actually read the comics?

Heh yeah... bit sappy!

I read up on the comic storyline on wikipeeds. Roughly the same, but quite a lot of artistic tv liberties. I enjoy watching movies/series without having read their earlier readable equivalent. Saves you a lot of comparison and griefing.

Been plowing through the comic books, finishing it this afternoon if I don't encounter too many corrupt library files.

Well worth a read! Lots of stuff in there that definitely won't make it to the tv screen. :D

After my Comical reader went fubar, I'm having an awesome time using http://comicrack.cyolito.com/.

ZOMG! I thought 6 was the last for now!

There's a 7! And I've already read all the spoilers in a random online article.

Btw Dale is a dawg in the comics.
Definitely read them, since the tv show is drifting quite far away from the comic storyline. Apart from you know. Zombies. And a few central locations and key figures.

[update]
Oh bastards. I was much happier waiting for the new season with the ending of episode 6 than the one from 7!

Good pace in the first episode. I like how they portrayed the desperation in the beginning and how Carl is becoming more of a badass, a lot earlier than he did in the comic books. Hopefully we'll see quite a few main characters die soon. Looking forward to how far they're going to take things with The Governor.

Can't believe the Boing Boing reviewer said Michonne used a machete. What a nonce. Secretly hoping for some made for tv lesbian action between Michonne and Andrea.

PS: READ THE COMIC BOOKS (use Comicrack)! <3
