ashsaytr Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 ...so how was it...gonna have to wait a couple wks before i watch it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthaiHERO Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 ...so how was it...gonna have to wait a couple wks before i watch it! It followed the story well. I expected more for being a season premiere, but that is because the climax of the episode was already spoiled by fans who read the books. I'm starting not to mind the deviations that were put in. Makes it a little more original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it a little more original. But if you were like me, when they saw the deer, I was waiting for Shane to point his gun at Rick and then Carl stop him. I thought that was why, plot wise, they let Carl go with the two guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1stfo Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It seems to me like the writers are toying with the followers of the comic. Implying that certain events from the book will unfold the same way and then switching it up at the last moment. I think it's pretty cool in that regard.

FIREFLY Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I was disappointed that there weren't more commercials. Agreed. Having DVR is good, though. It was awesome! Love the "woodchuck" scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was why, plot wise, they let Carl go with the two guys. If they follow the plot of the books too closely, the show is going to be really boring to me. If I was Kirkman, I would take the opportunity of the TV show to do some things differently and try some things that may work better for TV as opposed to a comic book. It's sort of a "what-if" kinda take and that makes it more exciting to me to not know how the entire story plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The themes and main ideas are still the same. Carl getting shot by Ottis was the event that gets them to Herschel's farm. Plus, it was the reason they were allowed to stay in the comic. So they are still progressing the same way. I think s-man was only remembering issue #6, not expecting the events from issue's #9 and #10. I think ending Shane's character now would be a waste, so I was totally expecting Carl to get shot by Ottis. Shane is here to stay for awhile. If he wasn't they would have killed him the same way they did in the comic at the end of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic_Diva Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Just my two cents. In the comic Rick seemed more assured of himself than the television Rick at this time. Too at this point, Carl looks like a pre-teen versus the elementary school aged kid in the comic. I liked the roaming portion on the highway, felt really slow toward the end with the endless monologue in the church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me even more excited for this season. The previews for the next episode look really cool for just this reason. I kinda know what's coming but not really.

I think what they are doing with Andrea is interesting as well. I don't see her hooking up with Dale but maybe Shane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendanb438 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Can't wait to catch a bunch of these actors at Cincy HorrorHound Fest in November. I do see though Greg Nictero or however his name is spelled has backed out of being at this convention. Bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
