Darabont takes The Walking Dead to TV
KvP:
A lot of people blame it on the total racist douchebag character, saying he's completely preposterous. They're not wrong.
scarred:
yeah he sucked. the chopping-up-the-dead-dude-for-the-gut-stench part was great though.
Ozymandias:
I'm gonna come in an defend aurjay and say that it's possible the wife and friend were together before the outbreak. The conversation in the car with sheriff dude talking about how distant and cruel she's been while the other dude referring cryptically to "this girl" foreshadows it a bit, I think. That not being the case is also entirely possible to though I'm just saying.
I am, however, going to say that, assuming it's not the case, I don't think she's an awful person, but the friend is. Her husband is dead or, worse, undead and she wants physical contact with someone or, uh, just sex. Whatever. She has her pick of dudes she finds attractive and her husband is gone. The friend on, the other hand, also has his pick of ladies and he chooses his dead friend's wife? Low, bro. Low.
KvP:
Yeah I think we'll all be rooting for his inevitable disembowelment.
Alex C:
Some of the commentary I've seen and heard on this show has been predictable, and by that I mean predictably entertaining. For example:
--- Quote from: Some Dude On The Internet ---THE WAY THEY DEVELOPED THE FIRST EPISODE STAYS TRUE TO THE COMIC BOOK, THIS JUST SEEMS UNFAMILIAR TO ME
--- End quote ---
The all-caps wasn't my idea. That poster just really wanted you to understand his fear and confusion when faced with the unknown. I applaud his willingness to lay it down like that without any ambiguity.
T-Dog vs. Merle hit me as a misstep. Partly because they're named T-Dog and Merle. Between that and the total douche factor it just suddenly felt too cut rate zombie movie caricature to me, and not really in a way that was a credit to the mood already established by the pilot. I kinda wish entertainment in general would take a cue from Borat. Most people with racist leanings aren't really boiling cauldrons of incoherent rage. They just have no idea what the fuck they're talking about. Racism is often more akin to superstition than anything else.
Man, I can't handle "Widows are off limits by virtue of Dude Law" jokes. I don't like remembering that people actually think like that.
