[TV] The Walking Dead (*Spoilers*)

[Fuzzzie]

Haha! I love the Comicon trailer. They hit all the right notes for the TV series. Fans of the GN might see a lot of deviation but that should be par for the course at this point. I'm pretty stoked. There's a lot of room for zombie action, theres a lot of room for fucked up things. I think S3 is going to put Walking Dead back on everyone's radar.

Im hyped over the fact it looks like they've secured a town to freely walk around and build a community back up plus Michonne!

By town you mean prison compound. It's an interesting choice. On the one hand it's made for people to not be able to get in or out of. On the other hand it cuts you off from everything including escape.

Woodbury looks like it's going to play an even bigger part in the TV series. Should be interesting.

I knew they take over a prison but didn't actually think that town was just part of the compound. T-Dog and Carol are finally being useful too instead of being a burden!

From the comics, Woodbury is at least a few miles from the Prison. In the Comics, Rick, Michone and Glenn go after the downed helicopter to find it, only to stumble upon Woodbury and the Governor. Chaos ensues etc. From the looks of the trailer it seems that Michone and Andrea stumble into that world. Not knowing if Rick and crew are dead or alive it's conceivable that they join with them maybe. Possibly because Merle recognizes them and there is some sort of inter-play there. IDK. The posibilites are awesome

Can't really predict whats going to happen in the show by going off of the comics which I think is good otherwise it would just be a series of events that we already know. Like with what happened to Dale at the end of Season 2 and Shanes death being changed

Gotta be one of the best parts of the whole series. I was shocked it wasn't going to make it to the show. Then again, it's TV. Might be a bit much.

Yea that's true I really wish they let us know if TAINTED MEAT could turn someone

I guarantee that Maggie's kid is gonna come out as a zombie baby. Calling it now.

As for your question I doubt it. People have survived bites by amputation. The transformation seems to come from a mortal wound. The bite clearly causes fatal infection, but it's death that transforms the person.

As for your question Insert spoiler here

Haha that would be awesome.

Yea that is true

I really want a confirmation on it because with Jim in season 1 his bite wasn't fatal but as said the infection was, Im imagining two types of infection one being that everyone carries it and turns upon death and the second being from a bite. What if the bite is actually like a venom and by eating TAINTED MEAT the infection is passed on. . Theres alot which could be said about this so a confirmation would be nice :P

Well, if the infection existed in everyone as it seems to, eating the meat of someone wouldn't effect you. It seems in TWD universe that you need to die in order to come back as a zombie/walker. Getting bitten may cause a massive infection as you're being bitten by an old, dead corpse and that's likely to not be sanitary. Andrea's Sister took a massive bite to the neck. She died to that and came back. She was infected to begin with. Jim from Season 1 was bitten as well but may have died from the infection and then come back as his wound wasn't mortal.

The infection was definitly what did it for Jim, Amy took a bite to the neck so swiftly died. I don't think it could simply be that an old dead corpse bite causes infection there has to be a bit more to it, I vaguely remember something about it being a combination of the bite and saliva

just watched the first two episodes and i gotta say; "wow....freaking wow" it's so incredibly tense without being over the top gory. even my girlfriend liked it and she usually hates anything thats gory/creepy/horrorish. going to watch the other 4 episodes of season 1 this weekend and pre-ordered the blue ray box for season two which will be released here (holland) on august 28th.

can't believe this hadn't caught my attention earlier! what an amazing show! shame seasons 3 and 4 won't be released for a while yet.

[Xindelle]

Can't wait for the next season !

Season 3 starts in October. Not that far off!

I read every single spoiler posted by Fuzzzie and Lyriok.
Curse you, curiosity. Curse you...

so delving deeper into the wonderful world of the walking dead, i found that a lot of digital TV providers here in the netherlands have the channel that aires this in their programming; namely foxlife. now the third season will start here as well end october. all is well you'd say, except there are a couple of providers that don't have said channel. one of which being KPN.

guess what my provider is?

I'm hoping it'll be on their programming soon, as HBO will be added in the upcoming months. strange thing is, they do have 24kitchen, which belongs to fox benelux as well. hmmm...
