Looks like someone finally figured out how to shoot walkers without attracting more:




Oh sh*t....Heeeessss Backkkkkkkk

Awesome!!! Hehehe so bad he's good.

Dammit, now we're getting into spoilers territory, not sure I wanted to see that last one!



Re: Season 3 Preview Weekend, all I can see on the schedule are the Season 1 & 2 reruns - is there anything new coming before the Fall?

Well looking at the showtimes it listing the shows as over an hour long (by about 3-4 minutes) so my guess is this is were the previews will be just like they were when the shows originally aired. Previews will probably only be a couple minutes long

Sorry about the Merle spoiler. I did debate about it somewhat but since we all kind of knew Merle wasn't dead (we just didn't know when he was going to reappear) I figured there was no harm. Personally I really thought he was going to reappear at the end of season 2 since Darrel was having those "visions" in Chupacabbra and he was off the show for a long time. It did seem weird to leave a loose end open that long but his charater must have been powerful enough that the writters felt we wouldn't be saying "Merle who?". But having him already with the Governor should make things really interesting for TDog and Rick. Plus AMC kinda let the cat out of the bag since the pic came straight from their Walking Dead website

No worries, I figured he'd be back eventually!

It's great him and Darrel are in this season arc as it adds an element of the unknown as to where the story will depart from the comic material.

Let me know if there's any new stuff to seek out online after the preview weekend!

Yeah, that's ok with me, I'm glad to see the appearance is finally happening. We don't know details anyway. What a character, almost feel bad for Michael Rooker having to play such an a@#$hole. LOL Those roles always stand out though, definitely a strong character to bring back. The main thing will be how Daryl deals with it. Maybe T-Dogg will get some real airtime too.

This season is going to make up for a somewhat uneventful season 2. Helps to know they're being well received by the public.

Spinner go to the AMC Walking Dead web site and join up, it's well worth it as you recieve automatic email updates on interviews with cast and crew, script writters, contest, Games, behind the screens clips and tons of other info (like those pics). One nice thing is you don't get spammed by tons of other garbage it's Walking Dead and Walking Dead only. Plus there are some cool web only episodes there, like the bicycle girl story and the man in the well story, interesting mini episodes if you ever wondered how these people became walkers.

I think part of the problem is budget. Since the show is now running more episodes per season staying put in one location will probably be the norm since it's cheaper then constant location changes. The Walking Dead it's more or less like a weekly soap opera with the gratuitous sex stuff pretty much replaced with Walkers (although like a soap opera the in fighting, backstabbing and charater conflicts are still there). and as such some episodes seem less then others but thats only to set the viewer up for the big shock episode (like the barn sceen and Shanes death/farm being overrun episodes) I know alot of fans wish the show ran longer through the season but I really hope it never goes this route as it would probably degrade the show. Also less episodes really gives Greg Nicotero a spotlight on his talents as head Make-Up/SFX artist, he's a hometown boy for us here in Pittsburgh Pa and studied at Tom Savini make-up/SFX school and work with Tom Savini and George Ramero on some of the Dead Movies. The walkers have been pretty unique, really well done and in most cases very memorable, how many movie zombies can make that claim? But I'm sure if the show starts running more then 20+ episodes a year that will change for the worse as the walkers will lose their uniqueness and start being made cookie cutter style.

I'm pissed. Just found out that Dish Network has dropped AMC from its programming. I had the DVR set for new episodes and went to check the schedule - NOTHING!
