Hello there everyone,
I don't know if any of you watched The Walking Dead but series 2 starts on october 21st.

Here is the trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMch8m2pYMs

Feel free to discuss.

I'm mighty concerned.

Several members of crew seem to have left (including show runner Darabont)

They just need better writers, Series 1 was ok but it wasn't as good as the comics.

Haven't got around to reading the comics yet, but I still think series 1 was awesome.

Season 1 episode 1 and the final episode were great, the rest was pure filler.

I hope they get dark in this season, the comics have some seriously disturbing plot twists and would be great if the show has the balls to follow it.

I loved the first 2 episodes, the rest were awful imo.

completely agree, started off so good and then just lost it, huge let down. I hope World War Z turns out good!

Has Kirkman said anything about which direction Season 2 will take?

Columbo · 26 Sep 2011 at 13:30

Generally agree with the above.

EP1 was great and last one was decent. But for a series about a zombie apocalypse there seemed to be a distinct lack of zombies.

Hopefully S2 will go overkill on the undead action but somehow I can it carrying on where S1 left off.

No idea about the the path the comics take either because I don't read them

I think I spied a couple of locations in the trailer that are in the comics - I've got the hardbacks. Some of the comic is in the series but others aren't. Not sure whether the differences are necessary but hey ho.

I'm looking forward to it and hope that it doesn't get canned. The problem with sci-fi/horror - good scifi/horror now, not gaylord vampires and pantie wetting warewolves. Its just anything like this that comes on TV, if one fan slates, they all do. Its like its fashionable to **** anything off in this genre.

With it being a series, you need pacing and S1 at times seemed too slow but if its full on then you'd have folk complaining about the lack of character development.

hopefully there will be zombies in this next series.

the first series got less and less zombies until they did and episode with none and then thought "oh crap we forgot the zombies" and then put one in at the end.

just watched the trailer.

i thought in season one they butchered a zombie and covered them selves in it to hide the 'human' smell to sneak past but it rained (what are the odds) and washed off the zombie blood etc. now they hide under a load of cars and the zombies walk right past. come on...

EddScott · 26 Sep 2011 at 17:49

To attempt to defend I think it was more to hide that they didn't stink rather than they have a stink that attracts Zombies.

Does anyone know where you can buy the comic books?
And I have to agree on the fact that the episode had less and less zombies as they went on but I still thought it was great.

How did I not think of them, I just went blank.
Thanks for the 'help'.

Looks quite good, I liked the first season. They've got 13 episodes to fill this time though so I can imagine it getting a little boring.

I heard it was 12 episodes and hopefully it wont be boring, well it shouldn't be with all the zombie slaying that will be happening.

People talking about the lack of zombies need to read The Walking Dead, it's less about the zombies and more about the struggle to get some sort of a semblance of "normal" life.

But I agree, after the first two episodes, season one was dire.

Why do you think that it was dire after the first 2 episodes?
The only episode that I thought was kinda rubbish was the last one.

Doesn't look that great a preview. :\
