I was thinking the same thing Erin!And I hope you're right. It just better happen before
Spoiler:
And I could definitely see them doing that with the Governor. It makes sense and I've actually been wondering about where he went. As for the prison. I really hope they keep that in.
I really need to catch up on reading the comics.

Yes, I would LOVE if they kept the prison sequence in the show. It's so diabolically twisted and sadistic, I love it.

A little off topic, but does anyone else see a little Jake (Dark Tower series) in the kid that plays Carl?
One of the main things I liked about the comics was that BIG things happened to any and all characters, you know? It was always a surprise, and you never see what's coming around the corner. I hope they that feeling continues into the show.
Well, I finally watched the first 2 eps in full (I caught it from only the 2nd episode last time), and I had forgotten how nicely paced this show is. Doesn't seem at all rushed, and yet moves things at a pace that a lot of shows take 20 episodes to do rather than just 6! I hope it does keep this up throughout both the first and second series, anyway. I also hope to get my hands on a copy of the compendium soon, if it's as good as the show.

It's better

Ok, well, i'll catch up on my 2000AD reading this weekend (which considering I heard that Dredd'sSpoiler:, is a massive sign i am WAY too behind on the series!), and order myself a copy straight after!

What time are the replays on in EST? Have a wrestling PPV but don't want to miss Walking Dead Sunday either. Glad I download Dexter or it'd be a hectic night.

Awesome, 11:30 is perfect...PPV should be over before 11. Looking forward to Michael Rooker coming back...Unless the person who took the shot is a new character, mine is on the black father and son (can't remember their names) from the first episode or it's Merle following them through the broadcasts.

Walking Dead is like Dexter, will read after I watch the show...don't want things in the show to be possibly spoiled from comics nor do I want to compare the two until after. I read the first Dexter book after I watched the first season and once I heard the plots are different from season/book two on, I want to enjoy the TV plot first, then the Books. I imagine Walking Dead will also venture off in it's own direction.

Yes and no. I think they're going to stick closely to the comics for a good while since there is still plenty of source material to draw from.
Did anyone else think last night's episode was a bit dull? I was just kind of "meh" about it.
*edit* The best part about it was Daryl pulling out Meryl's "stash".
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Did you notice the blue crystal meth? Where's Heisenberg?
Oh-oh, from the sounds of it, things are going so slow you yanks are gonna start seeing why us Brits have such short series!
Seriously, I do hope things pick up. Especially since I'm watching season one on dvd (not for the first time, at least not with most, as i only missed the first and last episodes of it), and I've really been enjoying it so far, so i'd hate to discover the 2nd season being considerably weaker when it comes out on dvd (i'm not going through the experience I had with Miracle Day a 2nd time, i'm just gonna wait for the box set for any show longer than 6 eps that isn't my favourite one). I also bought the Compendium, despite still having a fair bit to read of my 2000AD backlog.

No I missed that. Was it shown when the big bag of pills were pulled out?
Yep. I think it was the first thing he pulled out.
I didn't notice that ! I'll have to give it another viewing.
And Erin - last weeks episode was actually my favorite episode of this season thus far. I love that the producers are toying with our emotions when it comes to Shane, sometimes we sympathize with him, and other times we want to strangle him.
AMC network said on Tuesday that its hit zombie drama, just two weeks into a second season, will be returning for a third season.
Sunday's episode drew an audience of 6.7 million viewers for the early airing and another 2.1 million viewers for the same-night repeat.
That eclipsed the year-ago audience for the series, which emerged as a surprise hit by averaging 5.2 million viewers weekly during that first season.
Glad to see it doing so well
The Talking Dead thing afterwards is such a waste though. It's a good idea but it's so so so so superficial and stupid.
I haven't bothered with it. As soon as The Walking Dead finishes I usually jump right into my Dexter DVR'd episode haha.
Your favorite out of the whole two episodes thus far?
I loved the "and here's some awesome antibiotics for when he got the clap." part of the dope bag scene. Daryl's really shaping up to be my favorite character. He's just so bad ass. I don't mind the Talking Dead. Kirkman is one awkward goober though.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
I really enjoyed the recent episode because several awesome characters are introduced to the series via Hershel's Farm(Hershel and Maggie especially), so I am glad they are there.
I like Talking Dead because I am a big Chris Hardwick fan. Kirkman is awkward because he is from Kentucky. Us hill folk aren't used to all of them lights and hollywood contraptions.

Chris Hardwick is the man!
"DR. SATAN!" lol
Talking Dead is OOOKKKK, Amber and I watch it but probably not for much longer. It repeats scenes we've JUST seen, and the kill count emphasizes just how slow and zombie-less this season is so far.
I really enjoyed the last episode though. My heart really went out for Carl. Some great acting there. Even Otis, who shot the kid, he felt SO bad, and I really believed it, you know? And then the Shane and Rick scenes, great. Good episode.
