Yeah, s1 got worse and worse.

-The only great actor was Lennie James, and he was in one episode.
-The finale had Noah Emmerich. At the time, he was really ugly and annoying on a different show.

Opening on greatness and closing on shit is, lul.

I didn't get to watch it in HD so I'm going to watch episode 5 and 6 on air or netflix before the premiere.

FINALLY have the network in HD.

Here's hoping all the positive buzz for the new episodes (and feedback they got during the off season) helps the show reach it's potential. Can't wait!

Megalodactyl · (10-16-2011, 02:52 PM)

For me, the first episode was the highpoint of the season, amazingly executed, I could re-watch that episode every month. However, the closer you got to the end of season the less I liked it, now, I have read the majority of the comic so that is probably why as it did stray from the original material quite a bit.

Nonethless I have high hopes for this show, and will be tuning in every sunday.

AMC is on a fucking roll. I just hope they can sustain this. Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Walking Dead.

Is there anything else coming down the pipeline or already out that I haven't mentioned?

Hell on Wheels starts up in November. Here's a recent THR article on what else they're working on.

I'm really glad this is official.

I never thought I'd see the day where there'd be these kind of quizzes on GAF.

Hell on Wheels looks badass.

Will I like this show?

My taste in shows is pretty diverse: Dexter, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Game of Thrones for starters... I've heard it has some interesting commentary which sounds cool.

I think it's agreed that season 1 isn't that great, but it's only 6 episodes right? So, lot of us are hoping season 2 will be baller.

The comics are supposedly really good. A good zombie serial with developed characters is an awesome concept. We've been accustomed to movies.

Watch the marathon tonight if you can. Or Netflix it.

Everyone watching this probably watched those

I thought the first season was pretty good. It definitely got a bit muddy towards the tail end of the season but from the sound of it they turned things back up again for this new season. I'd try it out!

DMPrince · (10-16-2011, 03:18 PM)

Walking Dead Season 1 marathon before Season 2 in 3.5 hours.

I got Shane in the personality Quiz. Not sure if I should feel offended, lol.

unomas · (10-16-2011, 03:41 PM)

Found this show on Netflix last week and zipped through all 6 episodes in 3 days, but no cable so I'll have to wait for season 2. The gf and I loved it.

MattyH · (10-16-2011, 04:50 PM)

So you decided to sleep with woman who had the zombie cut, and decided not to shoot her?

Zipped through in 3 days? I watched seasons 1-3 of breaking bad in three days son.

Snuggler · (10-16-2011, 04:57 PM)

I'll be tuning in, but mostly because Breaking Bad is over and I dropped Showtime, so no more Dexter. My feelings on the first season are pretty much in line with everyone else's. The first episode was solid, but the following episodes just felt like a series of tired zombie movie cliches stretched out across several episodes of TV. My biggest problem is the characters, who are not the least bit memorable when it comes to both writing and acting. When you don't give a crap about the characters, you kinda lose that emotional investment in the plot and the sense of tension when shit goes down.

Hopefully season 2 is a step up.

Emerson · (10-16-2011, 05:09 PM)

I really hope Morgan comes back soon. I know how it goes in the comics so leave those comments out.

I cant wait for it tonight. Dexter plus The Walking Dead on Sunday nights is fucking awesome.

BoboBrazil · (10-16-2011, 05:24 PM)

Sunday is awesome for tv. Dexter, Homeland, How To Make It In America, Hung, Boardwalk Empire, and now Walking Dead 2. Packed night.

Hoping they try that whole "having a story" thing this time around.

Not to mention Hung.

BoboBrazil · (10-16-2011, 07:47 PM)

Dexter is still entertaining and Hung is actually much improved this year over last season so far. I'll take Dexter over season 1 of Walking Dead any day of the week.

EYEL1NER · (10-16-2011, 07:49 PM)

Cannot fucking wait for this. I enjoyed all of last season and am eagerly awaiting tonight to watch this.

I wouldn't call Dexter still entertaining, but it's clearly better than S1 of Walking Dead.

Season one of Walking Dead had one incredible episode. More than you could say about Dexter season 5.

Fjordson · (10-16-2011, 08:26 PM)

I'm hyped. I enjoyed season one. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad.

Dexter season 5's first episode was also incredible. Just like Walking Dead it jumped off a cliff after that though.

Archer · (10-16-2011, 08:37 PM)

Glenn.

Cornballer · (10-16-2011, 08:47 PM)

Daryl.

Anyone watching the marathon? I just turned it on. I'll probably be a little late watching the premiere tonight via DVR, but here's hoping it lives up to the reviews.

AMC just got me excited with a commercial for Season 2 saying it was only 1 hour away. It's actually 2 hours away. :(

TheVampire · (10-16-2011, 11:04 PM)

How come this show has such few episodes? I think season two is supposed to be just as short as season 1

Season 2 is 13 episodes, but its split between the fall and next spring.

Uriah · (10-16-2011, 11:29 PM)

Does anyone have any experience ordering a TV season pass on Amazon or Itunes? I was wondering how long it would take a show to get up after it has been aired. My school's cable quality sucks and I was thinking about getting the show online instead.

Last season the eps appeared the following day of broadcast.

Schweini · (10-17-2011, 12:48 AM)

Had no idea it was today! Hopefully it's just as good as the pilot. That was the only great episode of the show so far.

Kitschkraft · (10-17-2011, 12:59 AM)

So I just watched the season 1 finale again (As I'm guessing many did, as they had the marathon today), and it honestly was better than I remember.

Sure, the talking computer thing was horrible, but I liked the "mini story" of the episode, even if it didn't fit in with the overall arc of the season.

I'm assuming that the doctors whisper is a big mystery for this premier?

Edit : Also, while I can't remember his name at the moment, I really like the actor from The Truman Show.

Lionel Mandrake · (10-17-2011, 12:59 AM)
