The Walking Dead - Season II (Page 5)

So your trying to say that a TV WRITER can't avoid writing a birth scene with walkers attacking as they desperately try to defend themselves while she's giving birth?  Dude - They can't avoid it!  You know as well as I do that's what's going to happen!  ... She gives birth and is lyign there holding her new baby...  The walker approaches...  She's totally helpless...  The walker is about to attack but hesitates for a moment upon seeing the baby...  Their eyes meet.  Does the walker have some cognitive reasoning left in them?  And then Rick... no Shane... no CARL lops the walker's head off and saves his mother.

You're trying to say that a writer is NOT going to go down that road?  Wanna bet? 

Very true but I hope they don't because part of the reason I liked the first season was that it was more realistic rather than just a sitcom style of what can we do this week. If they start getting outlandish with the plots I think I will lose interest.

If it weren't for the one walker in the well in the last episode, the show could be called, "Isolated People on a Farm".

I agree.  Last night I flipped in "28 Days Later" just to get my fix on.

now that movie has zombies eating people

"Dawn of the Dead" is a great z-flick to get your fix on.  They diiiiieeee...  They all diiiiieeee..."  And of course if you want to laugh while the zombies munch out, "Shawn of the Dead" can't be beat.  But probably the best manwhich flick of all.  The one that has it all and is my all-time favorite...  Zombieland!  "You got a purty mouth!"

All great movies. I also like I Am Legend but they say those are vampires not zombies.

I did, and know the story...  Then you would find that the movie SUCKED!!!  One of the WORST movies ever!

Didn't you find something just a bit strange and odd with the final battle and the ending?  Why was this one 'vampire' so pent on getting to them?  Who was the 'vampire' girl on the table?    Didn't the ending seem to be hastily re-written?  And what's with the title, "I Am Legend"?  Legend of what?

Richard Matheson was a big anti-establishment author who liked to turn things upside down.  Through metaphor show that the typically-shown-as-the good-guys (i.e. the government) were in fact the bad guys (i.e. the Cold war in the 1950's).  Allow me to explain the storyline...

• The "plague" transforms humanity into a new form of creature.  Everyone but Neville is now a 'vampire'.
• The girl on the table would be the 'vampire leader's' daughter.  He's trying to save her!  In the book Neville meets a woman named Ruth who seems to have survived.  After they start a relationship, she tries to leave but Neville stops her and forces her to submit a blood test which reveals that she's infected.  She explains that the infected are beginning to handle sunlight better and are trying to rebuild society.
• The story is told from the new 'vampire's' viewpoint.  And therefore...
  The "Legend" is twofold:  The legend of the infamous BUTCHER, Dr. Robert Neville!  The most horrible person since Dr. Joseph Mengele who kidnapped peopl (vampires), conducted brutal medical experiments on them and killed them.  Hundreds!  You saw all of the photos of the people that didn't survive his "experiments" over the years.
  
  In the book he is captured by Ruth and imprisoned by the 'vampires'.  Ruth explans that she's a member of the ruling council and that he's been sentenced to death for his crimes.  She being more"humane", fought for his sentence be commuted to life in prison, but she failed.  She gives Neville poison pills so that he can take his own life.  The second part of 'legend" is as he's dying, he says, "I'm a new superstition entering the unassailable fortress of forever.  I am legend."  As the last uninfected person on earth, when he dies, he will become nothing but a legend.

WILL SMITH IS SUPPOSED TO TURN OUT AS THE BAD GUY IN THE END OF THE MOVIE!!!

Sure would have made for a better movie, eh?  But at the time, some marketer in Hollywood probably tested it and said, "oh we can't have Mr. Independence Day Hero turn out to be a ruthless butcher and murderer of the innocent who gets captured by more humane vampires than him and he chooses to kill himself rather than be executed.  That won't fly.  You have to rewrite the ending."

Even if you didn't read the book.  The ending of the movie killed the whole thing!  IMHO.

Sorry.

Sorry.

The last episode was so lame I thought I was watching Little House of the Prarie.  Am I right , only 1 Zombie scene in that last eposide? 

As mentioned by one of our BT folks here, the Redneck is atop the chain right now along with Deputy Dog.  In fact, I venture to say that 99.9% of the people would be beholden to folks like this in a similar crisis .  In reality, we all better get some "know how".  I grew up on a farm and did work for Uncle Sam and I still question how I'd do in a situation long term.  Which leads me to a poll Im going to post in a few minutes.

The original Richard Matheson book was a good read. Much better ending and story line.
