Re: The Walking Dead

I think the whole TV series has already departed too much from the Comics Prison Ark... the "assault" was the Governor with 6 guys shooting aimlessly, the "tank" who took down the Prison's defences was this Armoured Truck, only Axel got shot(sadly) and the rest seem to be doing fine or at least "safe" for now. I don't believe there'll be a "final assault", a run to the armoury or anything remotely similar to what happens in comics, I think they are even wondering about where to go with Tyreese's group right now.

Will the writers script in another "assault"? or are they going to go with the "it's time to strike back" argument line? In any case this whole Woodbury vs. Prison storyline has to stop in about 4 or 5 episodes before it becomes boring, and for that to happen there has to be an escalation of hostilities or some sort of third-player(could be herds, other humans, whatever) that drives them into a pact/alliance.

There is no need to be scared of the Gov, they got his ass outgunned and outmanned. He pretty much used all of his resources right there and he took more damage than he did(considering he lost two guys and a perfectly good van.

I'd sure as :wub: say they are wondering where to go with Tyrese's group. They are so stuck they just left them out of the last episode. The biggest thing is Rick went off the deep end and we didn't even get to see what happened after it. I guess as the viewers we're suppose to be content with Rick just making out with ghosts now.

Re: The Walking Dead

Terra Nova was great. Just when they threw a new bone (the place the soldiers were going to ) they killed the show!

Terra Nova was crap at first but by the end it was getting pretty damn good.

Re: The Walking Dead

Just caught up. I should have known Axel was going to die. Any side character who gets a lot of character development in one episode has to die. I was starting to like him too. :(

Maybe it was not the best comparison but anyway , they need to make the show more exciting than these 2 episodes.

I feel the same way. I was starting to like the guy too. His scenes were a relief from maggie's cheap drama.

I actually thought they were going to make him into some inside bad guy after he started talking to Carol and was like "Oh i've never used a gun before." I suppose he had to go though, they ran out of token black guys to put down. They'll have to bring tyreses group back just so they have some more fodder...

Re: The Walking Dead

I thought Axel was going to turn out to be a rapist and probably murder Hershels daughter (the blonde).. I imagined a scene where someone finds the prison records and stumbles across the horrific truth, but to late.

Those who've read the comics will recall what was easily the most disturbing scene in 'TWD comics,' but it could never happen in the TV show..

Yeah I know it did get good at the end so I was a bit pissed... they must of canceled it when it sucked and then it got good and it was too late cause the set was torn down.

I stopped watching after the 5th episode, well it wasn't bad but that's just about it.

Me too. Especially because she is badass in the comics. A character I liked, butchered by the TV-series (sadly not the only one...)
