"Walking Dead" Cable Series

That's why the show is so interesting... If it was a bunch of ZSrs, you'd have the same episode every week.

You are right. The gun and ammo issue is just a plot hole, but for a reason.

[ROBBYBEAR]

Here's a teachable moment: if you have a firearms battery as part of your preps, stock plenty of ammo NOW.

That's why the show is so interesting... If it was a bunch of ZSrs, you'd have the same episode every week.

"Okay, does anyone need anything?"
"don't think so."
"nope."
"good"
"all set."
"... Um, I've got the generator all set up, see if you can find a copy the Good, Bad, and Ugly at the next settlement, huh?"


Each week, they visit another outpost of ZSrs where they exchange stories, trade seeds and fresh veggies, and talk about how much juice the windfarm is generating, while anything really important is communicated across by HAM radio operators.

And any kid that won't stay in the house get's a shock collar for dogs, and some "invisible fence" wire run around the outside of the house....

Ammunition is stockpiled high enough that cases are used as furniture.

"where's the remote, gonna watch season 5 of Dexter again?"
"On the end table."
"The Wolf Table or the Lake City table?"

LMAO good stuff.

Since imagining Walking Dead thru the prism of Zombie Squad.... Can you imagine other shows?


Take Hoarders for example... The show where people end up living in a home so packed with shit that they can't even see the floor or walls?


A ZS hoarder... Can you imagine?

"um... Seer, I need you to decide what your really need, and what your willing to let go from your pantry?"
"bag of chips..."
"and the 40 cases of MREs, Freeze Dried food, and 5 gallon buckets of rice?"
"Back off... I'll will punch you in the ball sack lady."


American Hot Rod?

"Today we're restoring a late 60s Unimog, but having finished with the living quarters, we are now ready to weld together the exterior roll cage."





Hey.... It's months before the show comes back, so why not imagine your own in the meantime?

They'll probably be better armed eventually. They should find a few Ruger Minis.....They seem pretty popular in Southern correctional facilities.

In the comic books it took them a good while to accumulate some "military-style" firearms. They still always seem to be short on ammo, though.

Fuhg... the whole storyline hinges on the finding/making of ammo right now in the comics.

I don't think it is hoarding if you truly have a rational, logical and reasonable plan for using the items. If you just have piles of junk you picked up at a yard sale or more supplies then you have a plan for ever being consumed then you might have a problem.

I figured that Prof. Mullet was talking about finding some Dillon reloading presses, along with some boolitz, powder, primer and casings.......Now he sounds like he's talking about having to "make" everything from scratch.

LOL now those would be good shows, if tv had stuff like that I might watch it more

That needs to be photoshopped on shaved Shane's head.

First pic (that I've found) of the Governor;


http://www.tvovermind.com/the-walking-dead/the-walking-dead-season-3-pic-the-governor-revealed/

Season 3 of AMC's The Walking Dead will introduce one of the comic's most vile bad guys: The Governor. It seems like ever since the series was even announced Walking Dead fans have been clamoring to know if The Governor would appear, and who would play him. The casting of David Morrissey answered those questions, now a lot of fans want to know what The Governor will look like - and fans of the comic might be a little surprised.

In this pic from TVGuide, we get a look at Morrissey's incarnation of the Governor for the first time. Far removed from the long haired, filthy, eye-patched visage from the comics Morrissey's Governor appears relatively clean cut, but packs quite a scowl. Opinions are going to be popping up all over the place, but from this writer's point of view this is a good thing. Since AMC has already shown a willingness to play fast and loose with the mythology, we really know nothing about the series version of The Governor, therefore stripping him of all his tell-tale bad guy cliches isn't such a bad thing at all.

It's almost as if the producers of The Walking Dead are giving their Governor somewhat of a clean slate, upon which to draw their own brand of Governor ugliness. Could this transformation mean a lighter character? Possibly, although The Walking Dead has hardly held back in any respect visually or psychologically.

Certainly one of the challenges for AMC with season 3 of The Walking Dead is re-engineering the Prison/Governor phase of the story in a way that keeps the happenings fresh and exciting, while avoiding the immense wave of potential spoilers that could arise from readers of the comic. It won't be easy. Some of the most extreme, bizarre, and memorably cruel and violent moments of the comic series take place during the time of the Prison and The Governor. The Walking Dead brain-trust will either need to figure out how to integrate some of those iconic moments in an original way that serves their slightly skewed narrative—ala, Shane's extended life and subsequent zombification—or come up with some fresh horrors of their own, which hasn't been much of a problem so far.

The little dude in the background creeps me out more than Morrissey/Capt. Tight Vest. ....

ETA: I realize that most Sam Browne belts look alike......But I hope that's not Rick's rig he's wearing.

"sokay, I heard a rumor that the kid in the background gets killed by a steel boomerang thrown by the feral kid when.... shit, wrong movie... never mind....

Hey boy, where'd you get that suppressor?

[wee drop o' bush]

My favourite bit of series 2 so far is the zombie in the well

[Raven927]

Hey boy, where'd you get that suppressor?

Why dose that look like a mag light?

[RickOShea]

Why dose that look like a mag light?

I thought that myself. It kinda-sorta has the same profile as an old Sionics suppressor......But it looks a helluva lot more like a D-cell Maglite.

Mebbe they run into some MacGyver-type dood that's good at improvising? (I can't remember anyone having, or even talking about, suppressors in the GNs.)

[KentsOkay]

Looks straight out of an 80's movie, and missing a Mac 10

Ah yes, the Well Walker. Good times. Much for fun to come, though! And more than a few surprises.


ETA: That pistol looks like a Glock with one of those directional-mics you see spies in movies using on the muzzle of it.
