Sometimes I think they should have a battery powered alarm clock, or an egg timer. Then they could have someone try and put it out in the woods and have it go off to draw the zombies away. Seems like they'll go toward any sound.

Pimp hand his whole family?

Now I am on board for that!

I know I may be overlooking things -- and they're not important when a zombie apocalypse occurs.

But, do none of these people have cellphones?

Sure, would have prevented the farm cluster****...

I am extremely disappointed they didn't follow through with the end of Shane from the comics.

Two major differences that would make the show more enjoyable for hardcore fans (and probably alienate the mass audiences, which is why they didn't happen):

1) Rick is MUCH more hardcore/badass in the comic. Pretty much from the day he reunites with his family, he's willing to do whatever - and screw over whomever - to make sure his survives. That type of protagonist plays OK on an HBO/Showtime series. Not so much on regular cable.

2) Carl is, too. And HE FREAKING KILLS SHANE to protect his dad.

Son and I said the same thing last night -- "Rick, the baby hasn't moved in awhile," and then all of a sudden she screams and the baby bursts through her stomach "Alien"-style.

We both agreed that's too dark for AMC. They'd never do it.

My son also said the Governor has a familial relationship in the comics that sounds way beyond what basic cable would go for.

If there is no power how do you charge the phones or run the cell towers?

Deberg_1990 · 03-19-2012, 07:34 AM

heh, why couldnt they have just waited a night and gone back to the farm? Wouldnt the Zombie herd have just moved on by then?? Also, heres a spoiler for season 3. Not sure if its been posted yet:

Spoiler!

Lori completely manipulated Shane into making the move on Rick, she seems like she wanted it to turn out the other way.

Everlasting cell phone batteries, lol.

blaise · 03-19-2012, 07:58 AM

They couldn't have cell phones, but they basically had nothing. No flares, no mirrors to reflect sun, no flashlights. No starting of a fire so others could see the smoke. No plan at all. I didn't see any ready to go supply bags, except for the blond who had the bag of guns. Just, let's live here on the farm and pretend it'll last forever.

CJizzles · 03-19-2012, 07:58 AM

But seriously....car phone chargers could work too.

I know it's just me nit picking.

This.

She appeared disappointed that Shane lost.

And why not try to find some bicycles? Short trips? Use a bike.

In every post-apocalyptic (zombies, nuclear war, plauge, etc.) movie every bicycle on the planet disappears.

At Image Expo earlier this month, Robert Kirkman teased that “Merle will be seen again”. We now have official confirmation from Michael Rooker himself, that he will be returning for The Walking Dead Season 3. Kirstian Hanson is currently covering WonderCon for Daily Dead and let us know that Michael Rooker announced his return as Merle during the Lollipop Chainsaw panel. While Rooker didn’t go into much more detail, he did mention that he lost 20 lbs for the role. For those that have read the comic, feel free to speculate as to how that may tie into the upcoming events of the show. The Walking Dead season 3 begins shooting in May, with 16 episodes planned. We’ll update this story if any additional information on Merle is revealed during the show. http://tvafterdarkonline.com/2012/03...-for-season-3/ __________________ Originally Posted by Cassel's Reckoning: Matt once made a very nice play in Seattle where he spun away from a pass rusher and hit Bowe off his back foot for a first down.
