The Walking Dead

Come on Buscemi rocks! So what if he looks like a stubbed out cigarette! Agreed on Margaret. My favorite character is Arnold Rothstein...it is refreshing to see a jew portrayed as an intimidating godfather and not a little worm, like Woody Allen.

I love Boardwalk Empire, but it's behind Sons, The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad with me, in exactly that order. The common factor with each is outstanding writing and characters who are not black and white cutouts. It's a golden age for great drama series, boys.

I am so tempted to start watching all four of those shows but I'm so behind that it'll take me years to catch up with the hour or so a day of time-shifted TV that I can sit down for.

Just watching the last episode of last season before the premier tonight and I am reminded how much I dislike Lori.

Yep. Her becoming a zombie dinner can't come soon enough for me.

I am rooting for the baby turning into a zombie and getting her from the inside :)

you havnt read the comics have you?

I haven't read them as I don't want to spoil anything coming up in the show. However, after the show is gone I plan on reading them all.

the show differs from the comic to a GREAT degree.
in the comic Shane dies in the 3rd issue and Carl just blows his brains out.

I've heard it differs but it can still spoil some stuff up coming in the show.

To bad they didn't have Carl off Shane in the show, he had it coming.

I'm in the same spot. I'd really like to start watching Sons and Breaking Bad...I just don't know when I'll actually do that.

I have to watch Breaking Bad on demand. It's a great show, but there are many "atmosphere" scenes with no dialogue, or long scenes with silent activity. I can fast forward through those scenes (or any scenes involving the wife and kid, unless the brother-in-law is also in the scenes... he's a DEA agent) and watch the meat (the gangster shit) of an episode in a half-hour.

Same with Boardwalk. As soon as Margaret comes on the screen, I hit fast forward.

But I watch (almost) every second of SOA... same with Dexter.

I watch my big 5 favorite shows all on demand, mostly through Amazon. I don't watch a lot of tv and in fact cut the cable five years ago and don't miss it. So the expense of a season is less than a month of cable. No interruptions and I can re-watch the best scenes again (whoa, did he really hit that dude in the head with a hatchet!?!?) over and over again. Oh and not to mention, I can turn on captions when Chibs says something on Sons, ha!

TheCommandTent · October 28, 2012, 04:47:54 PM

New episode on tonight! We should get some more of Andrea and Michone's story I believe.

Steelgrave · October 28, 2012, 05:06:09 PM

^and the first meeting with the Governor, I believe.

Gusington · October 28, 2012, 05:54:14 PM

Stop teasing me like that you cads. I won't be able to watch the season you're in right now for probably at least another 6 months.

GDS_Starfury · October 28, 2012, 08:38:14 PM

another awesome episode!!!
