If they are running a generator for electricty, that better be a quiet SOB.

FWIW, in the farmhouse I grew up my grandparents huge setup with batteries that charged off a windmill.

Maybe that's how they are doing it.

Shit got real last episode.

Not bad

huh, i just learned that the woman who plays Carol (the lost girls mom) was in "The Mist" as well. I guess thats another Darabont connection.

I knew she looked familiar just couldn't place her.

TBH, this show is not nearly what I was hoping it would be. I'm not entranced by the characters, nor do I really give a crap about what happens to any of them except for the fact that I keep hoping they will go back to the graphic novels.

I will keep watching for now because, well, zombies! But I just don't understand why they have to deviate from the novel's so much. If they stuck more to the novels, this show would be amazing. There is so much drama and tension in those novels, all they have to do is get the gist of them onto film, but instead, they are doing whatever the crap they are doing, and it's boring quite frankly. And to be clear, yes I know the farm is in the novels, and all that.

Spoiler!

Sometimes I think they're limited by budget. Scenes with two actors are cheaper than scenes involving 40 zombies that have to be shot and re-shot many times. I could be wrong about that, I don't know.

Ding, Ding Ding, we have winner!!! You are 100% correct.

keg in kc · 11-03-2011, 09:22 AM

And they're (much) more limited by budget now than they were during season 1.

Which I know is completely the opposite of the way you'd think it would be with the success of the show...

kaplin42 · 11-03-2011, 09:42 AM

Sure, I can understand that too. But, in the novels, the zombies are like a backdrop, it's a given that they are a constant danger, so they don't need to be in every scene. Other people are the real danger. Because without laws, and rules, and a strict social driven code of conduct, people turn into monsters themselves, far worse than any zombie could wish to be.

And out of curiosity, how do you guys know the budget is way less. One would think that the highest rated show on the network would actualy get a little bump to the budget.

Frosty · 11-03-2011, 09:48 AM

I really hope the love triangle thing doesn't develop or go on to long. I want to see zombies, not a soap opera.

Good read:

"Sources say last fall, even before the first episode of the show had aired, AMC let it be known that it would effectively slash the show's second-season budget per episode by about $650,000, from $3.4 million to $2.75 million. AMC cut the budget and pocketed a tax credit previusly applied to the show"

ChiefFripp · 11-03-2011, 11:46 AM

The whole Zombie thing is going to run its course before World War Z even comes out.

blaise · 11-03-2011, 11:48 AM

Zombies will never run their course for me.

And to be clear, yes I know the farm is in the novels, and all that. Spoiler! An example to me seems that they are making Shane out to be Rick's darker side. Meaning that in the graphic novels, Rick ends up performing some atrocious acts to save his family and his crew, and is constantly put in terrible situations that he has to make horrible situations that slowly are chipping away at his humanity. In the show, they are making Shane do all of that, while Rick remains the happy go lucky good guy. This ultimately makes Shane the more interesting character and the one you want to watch, and make Rick completely expendable.
