But the main character's wife is already giving it up to the guy's buddy? I mean, I know she probably assumes her husband is dead, but hasn't it only been a matter of weeks? Sheesh -- where's the greiving period?

It was absolutely his wife and kid. In the scene immediately after the woman is kissing the guy in the tent, it cuts to the patrol car the main character is driving and he pulls down the visor to show a photo of him with his wife & kid.

But there is an option for 13 more episodes for next season. Given that the pilot was the highest rated show ever on AMC, I'm really hoping they pick up that option.

I got the feeling that those 2 have been going at it since BEFORE the zombie outbreak. The first scene was the 2 buddies talking about how bad Ricks marriage was. Makes perfect sense that it was his partner boning his wife.

As far as leaving the dumbarse on the roof, looks like Rick is going to go back for him. Too bad all the idiots like him didn't succumb to the outbreak. Then, you wouldn't feel bad about delivering a headshot!

Love the show, movie quality in a tv show.

The show evokes a very erie feeling. The first episode was amazing, no music, minimal surprises, just plain flate-out dispair. They do such a good job of portraying the hoplessness of the situation (them being alone, the last of the survivors).

When he climbed up into the tank I felt like i was there. I could understand his emotions. Such a great story/production team.

All:

The series is not following the Graphic Novels. As an example, there is no Merle in the comics.

I won't give anymore away as some themes and small bits are caring through.


The series is GREAT and so are the comics....just different.

blugill
11-22-2010, 06:31 AM
Four was easily the high point of the series thus far. A fantastic series even without this episode though!

There are similar events that cross between the comic and the show but if you've read the comic you'd know that some things just wouldn't be able to be shot and adjustments would be needed.

The Governor's storyline as an example is just way to disturbing for a TV show. It was borderline too disturbing for the comic!

I was happy to see a lot more character development this episode, Dale really came through to the front as he has been a bit in the background up until now. A lot of the comic series deals with trying to retain your humanity in a world that's so inhumane, I was glad to see that carry over into the show.

"We're not Spanish gang bangers, we hide out here helping the elderly"
Cliche'd scenes like this do nothing to advance the story and really only amount to filler.
You can get all the feel good moments you need from Rick and his creepy freckled looking kid with the Moe Howard hair cut.

I guess I like my ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE entertainment to be more negative, but I also like my Disney movies that way too.

Some shows first seasons are short. It sucks when show is fantastic and they only ordered a small about to be made. Looks like season 2 won't be until Oct next year. :td

Episode 5 was pretty interesting and looks like setting up the last episode pretty good.

Lots of good pick-axes to the head last night. The crunch-squish sound effects went well with the cheese nachos I was eating at the time.

if you have a cable box check the "on-demand" channel to see if the series is listed

Season finale was not the cliffhanging, nail biter I was hoping for. So the big unawsered question is "what now"? But that's always the big unawsered question. There's no burning sub-plot that has me chomping at the bit for season 2. :(

I agree Vin but we learn they aren't even safe in the most secure place and their back on the road. It depends on what they choose to cover from the comics cause there are some fun options.

Unfortunately, no on demand available for us. :( We do have a box, but they don't offer it for us. :( It sucks, and we can't get satellite, due to the tree cover in our backyard. Argh!

We saw last night's episode, though. I think we might be hooked. As was said, the big question after last night's ep, was "Now what?" Where are they headed, and will they find any more uninfected?

I am losing interest in this show fast.
Ricks "all we want is a chance" speech made me gag.
Why didn't the writers just have him say "pretty please open the door"? :rolleyes:
It was awful and his character is quickly degenerating into the stereotypical crybaby /torn hero.
This show needs a Sarah Connor type character. Someone who is willing to do anything to survive without remorse and isn't viewed negatively for it.
Anyone who wants to use violence to survive is portrayed as a dumb hillbilly (Merle and Daryl) or self destructive (Shayne).
I found it funny that Dale didn't make the same offer to stay behind to save the Black girl, Jacqui.
I also found the most real moment to be when Ricks wife, after living on the side of a mountain for two months,
spends one night in the CDC, and complains that the air conditioning turned off.
Did they bring my wife in to consult on the script?

After Dom tore the finale a new asshole, I needed a minute to reflect.

i was out of town last night, just watched the finale tonight. it was so-so. I was hoping for more than the basic explanation that was given as well as an exploding building that was supposed to be "one step below a nuke"... a little weak.

I will still be paitiently awaiting season two though! still excited.

Halloween 2011 from what I heard but it could be sooner.

If that was one step below a nuke, then they would have been incinerated, being that close to the building. And setting the air on fire? Nope...can't really happen. Plus, if it could, with that crashed out window, it would have extended further beyond the building than it did. OK, enough with the technicalities. LOL

Just wish it wasn't going to be a year until the next season starts. Still gotta watch the first few episodes. Will have to check when the reruns will be on, or maybe see if it's on Apple TV.

I enjoyed the final episode, and am looking forward to season 2, but some of the grandiose speeches seemed out-of-place, along with the weak explosion.

There were some sequences in the final episode that reminded me of some of the made-for-tv Stephen King movies with mediocre acting and lame effects.

Even some of the earlier episodes seemed better to me, like the final one was rushed or something.

Hopefully there's enough excitement and money behind it to bump up the production values for the next season.

One thing... I think she was noting that the air turned off as a weird thing happening.. not complaining.

I heard they dumped the writing staff and season 2 will have a completely new one.

My theory.. she is pregnant with Shanes kid... doc found out from the blood test.. Idk.

Ahhh... but had you listened more closely as Jenner explained the purpose of the bomb, as far as the destructive properties, it was designed to burn extraordinarily hot, but in a limited area. He made mention of it having minimal damage to the surrounding area. ;)

Anyway... it was entertaining for me. I also think that the theory above about the pregnancy may be correct. :tu

Forgot about that. But having the broken window still SHOULD have extended some of the blast, if it was fueled by the air. Unless maybe they had a nitrogen stream in front of it. Technicality, though. :p
