Well, itās just stopping the processing unit for firing the neurons to control the rest of the body.
What I donāt get is if youāre undead why your body doesnāt start rotting after a couple of days!!! No circulation, no oxygen getting to the organs and musclesā¦
I was anticipating this episode as a comic reader, and boy they didnāt disappoint. Quite a few tweaks to retain some originality but they nailed the dread and horror of the scene from the comic. JDM seems to be having an absolute ball with his role as well - really looking forward to the rest of the season!
Not read any of the comics although probably would so not idea whatās likely to come up. Had heard that one of the characters was due to go. canāt say Iāll issue the other one. very much on edge of seat for so much of this and did feel a little shelf shocked. thankfully didnāt need to ring in sick. had a day of training on gangs so violence has been the norm for a bit too long!
I have to say that Iām rather bemused by a lot of the hate the show is getting at the moment. Apparently ratings are at their lowest since the first season and Andrew Lincoln, who plays the lead Rick Grimes, is doing the offs.
Iāll still be watching it. Even in the first season, the show was rarely about one person. With the recent worldbuilding of seasonsā past, thatās more true than it has ever been. I think itāll survive Lincolnās departure better than Teachers did.
The next set of antagonists are going to be creepy as fuck, and like nothing the show has put in front of the survivors before. I think we all might spend a bit too much time being horrified to miss Rick. He may well be how theyāre properly introduced.
I think the moaning just gives us an indication that a lot of people donāt really watch tv at as deep a level as others. If you watch the Walking Dead because āzombiesāā¦ then i can see why people would be tired of it all now, thereās a limit to what the can do now, the zombies are slower, decaying and everyone is prepared for them and knows what they need to do with them. Theyāre not really the main part of the show any more and when they are there is very little in the way of blood and gore.
However if youāre into the characters, itās still interesting to see how they are changing, developing, etc.
I think (as you say @pap) the whisperers will be great, zombies who are still people sounds good, theyāll be quicker, cleverer and itās gonna scare the crap out of the main characters when they first experience them!!
Other humans have long been the scariest thing on the show, something that appears to be the case in Fear The Walking Dead too. Iām about five episodes in, and very much enjoying it. Though inhabiting the same universe, the tone feels different immediately. The first season reminds me a lot of the end of 28 Days Later, where the military are not all theyāre cracked up to be in the saviour department.
Back in the main verse, decent episode last night. Only two episodes of Rick left this season. There are strong hints that it may not be the (ahem) usual exit for the Grimester.
Big changes going on in the main season. Andrew Lincoln has left the show, and weāve jumped six years into the future in the space of one episode. Itās like a reboot with all the same characters.
