Obligatory Walking Dead Thread

Gotta admit, I've become quite the zombie nut . . . even if Rick and the gang do some of the DUMBEST things you can do given the 'rules' of the world they're living in. Anyone else stoked for the thing that starts in October other than basketball?

[SDC]

are you also a fan of the Strain? the next season of walking dead is a long ways away.

Yes! Can't wait.

I'm a big fan of both the show and the comics but I am behind about 30 issues though. Can't wait to see who dies next season because the show has been having an influx of new characters recently.

I read all of the books and was severely disappointed with the conclusion, but I'm DVR'ing it to watch later. I've got so much TV to watch it isn't funny . . . I think I still have episodes of House and Chuck on there, LOL.

Just add Netflix to all that, Dan, and you'll be just fine!

[Dan H]

Yeah, we have Netflix AND Prime. My wife watches Orange is the New Black and I'm getting caught up on Justified on Prime.

[Superbone]

I couldn't watch that first video. I don't want to see spoilers.

i noticed that norman reedus wasnt on the trailer a lot. next to be killed off?

[Mori Chu]

I love Walking Dead but I fell behind on it after the Governor plot line ended. I need to catch up.

Fun fact: my grandpa gave me the same type of rifle Carol used to launch her bottle rocket.

Spoiler: show/hide

I think my grandpa would probably rise from the grave and kick my ass if I used his rifle to launch a bottle rocket. But then again, if I blew up a crapload of zombies while I did it he'd probably think that was pretty cool.

The Walking Dead is one of my favorite shows. The opening of this season was great and got rave reviews.

[Wally_West]

I guess they did stick to the comic..

Spoiler: show/hide

with the whole "Tainted meat" thing.

I am still a disappointed though with how they are portraying Tyreese so far. He was such badass and huge character in the comic. I think he has been way under used so far.

[Indy]

He was a big character in the comic, but he didn't last long.

[Nodack]

I didn't read any of the comic books, but my take from just watching is that Tyreese is a badass turned softy. He is still capable of badassness if pushed. Like everybody else that has gone through what they have gone through, he is messed up in the head in some way.

One thing that bothers me. You die, you automatically become a zombie. You get bit by a zombie and somehow their juice mixes with yours, then you automatically start dying and turn into a zombie. If you haven't been bit, but rub zombie guts/blood/whatever all over your body, zombies think you are a zombie, leave you alone, but none of their juices ever have any effect on you or infect you in any way.

Hmm...

[SDC]

if you die from natural causes, you automatically become a zombie in the walking dead world.

i think he just said that.

I don't think it's a result of anything in particular other than death by sepsis. Everyone is already infected, it's just a matter of when you die. The human mouth is packed full of germs at the best of times, who knows how nasty it'd be on a zombie.
