This looks pretty good from what I have seen so far, that is a few reviews and an annoying trailer filmed with a handy cam (below). I love Zombie movies, but they end too quick sometimes. I love the idea of the Zombie series following a guy in his quest to find what happened. They can obviously add a new dimension to this as there is more time to build a plot, characters etc And reviews are pointing to alot of gore! (as in blood, not gay gore with the big trout)
Frank Darabont is at the helm (Shawshank, green mile) so it should be a pretty solid story and well thought out.
The first series airs in the US later this year, not sure if good old NZ will get it though. Series 2 is already in the pipeline.

sweet they are making a series? that is pure awesome, i loved the comics :)
-
I have the tpb waiting to be read, it's the size of a phone book. I don't see how this series can fail tbh, considering the network and original nature of the entire thing. It's not like the market is awash with zombie tv shows.
-
Watched the preair and loved it cant wait for the rest in HD :D
-
yeah, I completely forgot to post about this!
I got it on Friday and watched it, freaking loved it!
Its going be a good series, although I can imagine that every episode might be similar, as in he helps or finds new people, solves a conflict always gets into a situation where he is out numbered, then gets away. Hopefully there is more to it than that.
-
having read the 78 issues of the comics, theres ALOT more they can do
-
READ THE COMICS NOW
-
New episode is now available, downloading now :) Epi one was great. Impressed with acting, actors, sets, humour, and direction. Excellent looking zombies, cannot wait until first flaming zombie!
-
getting ep 1 now, hope its as good as you guys say
-
Poor horsey :(
First episode was great, much potential. Never read the comics so its all new to me.
2nd ep is out? Woot!
-
just watched it tonight and definatly enjoyed it...makes me think a lot about fallout3. Might have to reload up the old file and go shooting
-
Shows looking good so far, about time there was something decent out to watch.
-
Hooked ep2 last night. I am loving this show! pure awesome.
Couple of things, how long do you think he was out for in the hospital? I would have said 1 week after the breakout cos you couldn't really live without water for that long.
Also was the wife having an affair prior to him getting shot, or did she hook up after?My pick she was already having the affair.
-
Surely she was before. Hell, you wouldn't start that shit a week after your husband was *supposedly* zombified.
And seriously, how do you die when you have a tank? How do the army strongpoints get wiped out? Surely if you surround a point with .50 cal machine guns nothing can get through? Why was there not piles of dead zombies surrounding the army bunkers?
Didn't like ep2 tbh. All those other survivors are just annoying dickheads.
-
Seems like a ripoff from part of the plot of 28 days later? Still looks awesome though.

Don't know if books are your thing or not BerG, but you maybe interested in WWZ (if you haven't already heard of it). It runs through how moderm military doctorate isn't compatable with a zombie hord and how tanks are probably the most inneffective weapon. I believe they are making it into a movie.
However, I agree, at least have a crack at starting that bad boy up and playing squooshy squooshy.
-
if you had unlimited bullets couldnt you just slowly kill every zombie in the whole city one by one? wouldnt that be worth trying?
-
I think so, i think the hard bit is the fact that they have to be head shots to neutralise them.
WWZ talks about how for a grunt that is trained to shoot at centre mass for his whole career, switching to the head is actually quite hard.
If you have a slow stream coming at you it would be easy, but you get a horde of a couple million like in a city like atlanta then you would start to touch cloth.
Ep 3 I am assuming that hand cuffs are made of something that is harder to cut than with a hacksaw? And I honestly thought that it would take him longer to find his family?
-
seeing theres only 6 eps this season they do need to move on with some pace to keep people interested.
I'm really liking it so far.
-
Ep3 is cool!
Yes I would say you could easily cut through handcuffs with the hack saw. If not, definitely the bar he was cuffed to.
I am telling myself that he was so delusional that all he could think about was the Saw movies.
-
Wife liked episode 3, usually a good indicator of whether I would like it or not. Too much "days of our lives with zombies" for me. Zombies are all about guns, beheadings, headshots, rippin ppl to bits, and whenever possible the almighty ON FIRE ZOMBIE! (fuck yeah!)
I was watching the timer click down as this episode ticked along.
Okay noisy ass kid inna car with car alarm leading zombie horde to campsite...Nope
Okay nighttime...good time for a zombie horde to attack....Nope.
Okay people trying to catch frogs in murky pond...Good time for amphibious zombie attack....nope.
Less talk more mayhem! Zombies need less plot and character development, they eat brains.
-
Go watch Resident Evil.
-
Ep 4 is up.
-
I tried watching the new resident evil 5 or so times over the last few days as advised. It was evil, way too much yapping as Mila Wotzavich trying to philosophize. She would do better to remain silent. Ep 4 was better, I feel mostly satisfied with the zombie nightraid, a bit of death a bit of biting, and a bit of headbatting going on.
-
Watched the first 2 eps last night.I'm impressed so far.Recommend.
-
Anyone know where I can download the theme song?
-
This was an Image comic? They've come a long way from Gen13...
-
Ep 5
Interesting twist with the CBD. Although I though there would be more survivers around the place. I mean if a bunch of gang bangers can survive......
stink that there is only 1 ep left till next season :(
-
The acting.
Oh god, the acting.
I get the feeling they are trying to really drive home the emotional distress of being in a zombie apocalypse by way of having painfully long emotional scenes. It's becoming really off-putting.
I think I have been treated to some really good zombie flicks and it has pushed my benchmark up quite far so it feels like this series falls quite short.
-
Just have to remember it's network television.
-
I think it's not a bad thing that the survivors aren't being over run by zombies for the majority of the episodes.Would become boring quickly IMO.You need to build decent characters to flesh out a show like this. I don't find the acting that bad either.I'm not expecting the sopranos .Just taking it in for what it is.
-
When do we get season 2?
-
Don't think its been announced yet
-
Your at a facility, there are M-4 and assault rifles everywhere out the front, the facility blows up, the guns/ammo are still there on the ground out side, there aren't too many zombies at that point. why dont you load the rv up with those guns and ammo? apart from that, I say bring on series 2.
Also, who will be the next to be bitten?, my guess was token black guy or token white trash extra (not before they come across other white trash guy (Merle) first though
-
According to sources the new season wont be around untill october 31 2011.
-
I couldnt get enough of this show,but only 6 episodes and nearly a year long wait for new ones?
So I had to get the comics and managed to finish them all in two days. Afterwards my eyes hurt like I had just smoked an ounce of Te Puke Thunder ("I JUST GROW IT TO PAY THE MORTGAGE")
I hope they dont stray too far from the comics, it is pretty brutal
-
I thought it was great. Really enjoyed it.
As for the handcuff debacle, if they where made from Marine grade stainless steel then that hacksaw would have to be a new blade, and a really good one otherwise you will break the blade before you managed to get through.
-
So why not hack through the pipe.
-
So why not hack through the pipe.
It looked like it was about 150-200mm in diameter. Knowing the cooling tower systems that go on a roof of a commercial building (seeing as its what i do every day) then it would have been steel and impossible to hack through.
In saying that, the 10mm rusted steel thread that he was handcuff'd to that holds the brackets in place would have been a sinch and taken seconds to dice though with a hacksaw.
In any case, cutting his hand off was totally unnecessary.
-
Did he make it off the roof?
-
yes haven't seen him since though.
-
Kairuri had a good idea that he got off and somehow got zombies into a van and then took them to the quarry and let them loose, hence the reason for the attack in the abandoned quarry.
-
In saying that, the 10mm rusted steel thread that he was handcuff'd to
Yes, obviously I was talking about the small pipe he was handcuffed to.
Not the massive pipe he wasn't handcuffed to.
-
Well a threaded steel rod is not a pipe.
A pipe by definition is a hollow cylinder. How was i supposed to know?
-
Just catching up on a few threads - sorry guys!
was the wife having an affair prior to him getting shot, or did she hook up after?My pick she was already having the affair.
Surely she was before. Hell, you wouldn't start that $#@! a week after your husband was *supposedly* zombified.
It seemed pretty clear to me that the affair started afterwards - some time after Shane told Lori that Rick had died in hospital (I think this is explained in like Ep4). The question for me is this: how long was he in a coma in hospital for? It seems to me that - in the normal, expected sequence of events - Rick would either be in a coma that was short enough he didn't become fatally dehydrated and atrophied, but which wasn't long enough for Lori to move on to his mate (who also lost his missus), or he'd be in a coma for long enough that Lori and Shane were able to move on with each other, but which left Rick too dehydrated and atrophied to move. Does that make sense to anyone?

Shitty Season 2 trailer- looking forward to this.

Good Season 2 trailer- looking forward to this.

Episode 1 of season 2 is out !
-
Woop Woop!!!!
-
Good man.
-
Oh snap.
-
Ep was not to bad.Unfortunately the acting hasn't improved.That old man in the floppy hat annoys the shit out of me.
-
Gdam way to much emotion and doing stupid shit that episode!!
-
Well I think you are being too critical :p I enjoyed it, left me hanging for next Sunday
-
Gdam way to much emotion and doing stupid $#@! that episode!!
^same i hate it, i like the series but the spazy emo parts and overly irrational behavior is over done, that weak style of story telling just irks the hell out of me.
-
Needs more stand and deliver
-
What grids my gears is that twhen the CDC was blowen up at the end of last season, there was a shit load of dead soldiers there call carrying automatic weapons such as M4's etc WTF did they not do a quick scavange? There were humvees there also, they would have military radio etc. sheesh! this made for telly is hard to go with sometimes!
Also, they need to construct lobo's WWZ style, quiet and effective.
On another note, if your into podcasts download "we're alive" its epic. They do all the shit you think that you would probably do in a zombie apocolypse.
-
A podcast of a zombie Apocalypse?
-
A podcast of a zombie Apocalypse?
yeah, like an audio book. Its pretty good, pretty intense in places. I used to listen to it when I was out running on winter nights through this native bush area near my house, used to freak me out haha!
Anyways how about that Ep3?
You wanted a bit of stand and deliver......
how about Shane! He mentioned that he wanted to get out and be alone but god dam, I never saw that coming. He is certainly playing for team Shane now. Poor Otis, he looked like a good guy. :(
-
This show is getting more and more 'Lost' with zombies with each episode.
I'm also sicccccccccccccck and tired of them stripping GOOD vehicles for parts for their SHIT breaking down camper-van and old as shit panel wagon.. not to mention disregarding military weapons, humvees etc in season 1
Fuck.
-
They may be avoiding hummers as they consume a lot of fuel, and fuel may be hard to come by, but in saying that the campervan probably uses a lot of fuel too. The eps progress really slowly, not much happens in each one, which makes it a little tedious to watch. Ah well, it has to get better eventually.
-
yep hard to stomach. Will watch the last couple of epis tonight after BF3
Hmm will have to get that podcast, you got a link?
-
http://www.zombiepodcast.com/The_Zombie_Podcast/Main.html is the main website, just type we're alive into itunes, you will find it easy as. The first ep is a bit cheesey, then you get used to the style and its all good. I can't remember how long the series is, but there is about 70 episodes each between 20-40 mins long so it takes a while to get through. Great on a trip from invers to Chch!
-
so anyway, who is up to ep 5 yet? thoughts?
I just knew that that old guy would have a zombie stash somewhere, seeing as how he doesn't like shooting things.
-
Just watched it.
Whats the point in keeping them though!!?? I guess its the hook to keep you watching, and the reason will become apparent mid season 3.
-
Gdam ive been lazy and havent seen any episodes apart from the first. May have to watch a few instead of BF tonight
-
Yeah EP 5 I sort of saw coming with the ####.... we got tipped of to the #### in EP2 or 3 when the Sherrif asked if they could use it for shelter.
On another note is the little girl dead or alive?
-
I think alive, they have dragged it on too long to just find a corpse, (walking or otherwise).
-
I think alive, they have dragged it on too long to just find a corpse, (walking or otherwise).
Ep 7- Whoa. Just got good again.

Shame that's it now until FEB 2012!!! WHAAAAATTT?
-
Like TWO MONTHS AWAY HOLY SHIT
-
Nice wee twist, good to see some intense action cos it has been a bit dry for a while.
-
So is the show on "break" until feb 2012 now? It's really annoying how they are dragging this shit out.
-
Break is over .
-
Hope the pace picks up a little TBH
-
so far, not yet. The way the first half of this season played out I wouldn't be surprised if it was as boring in the second half.
-
Needs more tits and arse TBH :)
-
if the comics are anything to go by (and so far they aren't...ie shane is killed in the 2nd comic) it should be action o plenty coming up.
I think it is just starting to show Rick turning into someone who blurs the line between right and wrong, this is how the comic plays out, justifiable killing trying to keep your clan safe etc. Another point in the comic is that Rick always rushes to help everyone not thinking about his family, which also happens alot in the series. It annoyed me that Lori hit someone and flip the car! That was a bit OTT
-
Latest episode....... Now thats what I am talking about!
-
Hell yeah! lets hope it keeps it up :)
-
Development is still painfully slow. It seems an entire ep goes by and only one small event happens.
-
Do not click it if you dont want to know the ending to Season 2......
Sophia is a Zombie in the shed and the Sherif kills her
-
Episode 11
Dales finally dead.Been waiting for that.I found him super irritating.
-
Do not click it if you dont want to know the ending to Season 2......
Sophia is a Zombie in the shed and the Sherif kills her
um...that is half way through the season....
-
^yeah I wasn't going to say anything in case he was trying to troll :p
-
Interesting development, in the comics Dayle stays around alot longer. He does get bitten, but it is on the foot and rick hacks it off and he lives. However he gets kidnapped by a group of survivers who are cannibles and take his other leg off and eat it in front of him. They need to get out of the farm and show what the rest of the world is like, how it has fallen to shit and what sort of people have come to power.
-
Zombie fans always like to watch "The walking dead"....
-
Is anyone else detecting religious themes? Condemned to purgatory. Dayle argues for forgiveness thus redeeming himself, only to die and be removed from purgatory and presumably whisked up to heaven. I just know thats how religious nutters in US will be looking at it. If they watch such a show. I bet that this is what they imagine the world will be like after a "rapture"
-
Pace is good.Today's ep was the best yet.
-
Shit just got serious!
-
Shit just got serious!
Retract that... Shit just real mental!!!
How can they leave it like that until US Fall? I need my zombies..... oh well back to the Game of Thrones thread for a while I guess :)
-
yeah, how good was that one!
Great to see Michonne finally show up with her pets! Also, I was wondering when they were going to introduce the idea of the prison, great to see that appear too! Finally following the comics a bit more
-
New season, first ep was epic. loved the
zombies in riot gear. I liked how time had passed (a winter) between the 2 series. Carl is now a wee man not a boy.
ep 2 didn't pan out the way i expected it would. rick has really stepped it up a notch, he really is looking out for the group alot more. he has taken the role well. Also interesting to see him a lorrie drifting apart while deciding to remain amicable. (that is probably until the baby comes along and this will no doubt bring them together again.)
-
Unless the baby looks like Shane.....
-
Seems to be getting more and more ridiculous.
-
This show makes me want a katana in dayz.

Pretty much.
