But the zombies in The Walking Dead are ok? The whole apocalypse in 2 days (or if it took a month - a guy lying in bed for one month without food or water) is OK?

I guess this applies big_smile

Re: 1x01 PREAIR

OK back on topic. I think the whole zombie thingy is for guys between 12 and maybe 22. In your twenties your interest in zombies declines very fast. But the key audience for this kind of tv show is 18-49 so I really wonder how big the audience will be wink
The pilot will probable hit new records but I bet the hype will vanish after Halloween. We'll see smile

Re: 1x01 PREAIR

Any real differences between the pre-air and the aired episode? I'm running low on bandwidth and don't want to bother if its pretty much the same.

Re: 1x01 PREAIR

Dear Lord, so many posts to reply to.  hmm

Yep - it was well made. First class zombies - gory as hell - so what?

  • Why is there no plot?

There is a plot. Rick wants to find his family and survive in the zombie world. It doesn't always have to be about rescuing the world.

  • Why are those few people not iffected?

Because they're smart/lucky enough not to get bitten.

  • Why do those few people behave so stupidly?

Because they're not mindless beasts. They're human.

  • Why are the zombies so slow - all the time - and suddenly they can run?

They can't run. I'd call it fast walking and they're doing that when they see something they want to eat.

  • Why are they trying to bring up a love triangle plot?

Because it's an important angle in the comics (not trying to spoil anything).

But 'cmon - if you've seen two movies you've seen about everything this show has to offer. To make it interesting they need to introduce something special. If the show is literally about "The Walking Dead" then it's boring by default - the undead just walk around and try to get some brain. How much story can you press out of that for a series? This is simply not entertaining as a series!

If you'll stick around long enough you'll know that the term 'The Walking Dead' doesn't apply to zombies. wink

This is the preair which will be pretty much exactly the pilot, except they might cut some scenes because the preair is too long. So 1x01 might even be less attractive.

My guess is that Resident Evil 4 will suit your needs. It has Matrix bullet time, explosions, hot chicks, even more explosions and other cool stuff. You'll like it.

  • Why did they make this show?

  • Why should viewers need to tune in each week to see their zomie kill of the week?

  • Why do I care?

- As said before, Rick is searching for his family, the rest tries to survive.
- You are infected if you have the virus, you can get the virus from being bitten or scratched. Take a guess.
- You mean? Because here, without an example, I really don't know to what you are reffering to.
- Because he wasn't bitten or scratched. Duh.
- Let's remember that the first ones we saw were in a small town, the ones "running" were in a city and had more strength.
- What triangle? roll I don't see Rick, his wife and Shane doing it together in a tent.
- To be more climatic? Besides, there are ambient sounds, but silence is better. Real life doesn't have a soundtrack you know.
- Ask the showrunners, not us. (And now you're starting to be silly BB)
- It's not about killing zombies. It's about survival. It's about how hard it could be in such a situation like killing your love ones.
- Ok, you got me on this one. I really don't know why you should care.

for instance for me the biggest thing that bugged me the most was that the police dude never asked what date it was to know how long he was in the hospital.

Oh - that too. If you are lying unconciously in bed without a huge iv and a big gun shot wound in your body you'll problay dead in 2 days. For an apocalypse where all was normal before and two days later all are dead or undead that is just rediculous tongue

And now you have a medical degree and you know that he would be dead in two days. Wow, good for you, have yourself a cookie, you earned it.

Primo, they don't eat brains. Secundo, this statement shows that you just don't like zombies and by "I think the whole zombie thingy is for guys between 12 and maybe 22." you consider it childish etc. Well, you see... you're wrong, there are A LOT of mature ppl, like myself (pffff, that one made me laugh, lol) that like the zombie genre. So stop being a buzzkill in our playground tongue

I thought RE 4 was a lot better than i was expecting it to be. I went back and watched all of them 1 after the other and the story made a lot more sense to me.
