[TV] The Walking Dead - Page 11

Why did they think they need to stray off so far from the comic :f also the pretend to be zombie is stupid and zombies carrying bricks to break the glass is silly but with that part I can live with.

Also why they are making Shane and Lori such an item. It was a lot more suttle in the comics but maybe they though they needed a bigger shock when Rick eventually finds the camp.
Whole episode felt like a filler before Rick finds the camp.

Glad that episode 3 is getting better again ^^ and not saying episode 2 was bad but kinda disappointed after the strong opening in episode 1. Can't wait for episode 3

Only the main character's son has been shown, I remember that there was at least a girl and twin boys with the group. The parents of these children don't seem to be there either. It would be a shame if all these characters were written off in favor of "disposable" new characters like those we saw in ep2

When Rick and Glenn first escape from the zombies after he runs out of the tank, they climb a ladder to get away, we then see that one particularly smart zombie mimics their behavior and tries to climb the ladder too. That could also easily explain why the zombies started using bricks on the glass - maybe one of them just did it and noticed the glass broke faster, then all the other zombies copied that one. So when the zombies at the truck sequence see both of them scale the fence, some of the smarter ones copy that behavior and go over as well.

Zombie learning isn't just a thing that Walking Dead does, by the way. It was a major point of Land of the Dead, probably Romero's best recent Dead film, where one really smart zombie ("Big Daddy") gains almost human-level intelligence. One of the major themes of any zombie media is that over time, the zombies regain more of their humanity, while the humans become more and more like the zombies.

I didn't think the episode was as bad as everyone's saying it is. I mean, yeah, the zombie guts disguise thing was kind of narm, and they don't really need to make the Lori-Shane relationship into an actual thing, but quite clearly they're not going to make the series exactly like the comics (which is a good thing imo, it makes the show less predictable for people who read all the comics). I thought the only real missed opportunity was the moral issue of abandoning the redneck, I was expecting them to make a lot more out of it than they did. At the end I was expecting the black guy to throw him the hacksaw or something and then run, but I guess not.

Now, if they end up not doing anything significant with all of these extra characters they added, I'll be pretty disappointed, unless they have some spectacular death scenes or something. This part was supposed to be mostly for development of Rick and Glenn, I was a bit surprised when all of these other characters showed up.
