Re: All The Zombie Horror Fans - The Walking Dead (AMC's epic series) [Season 2) by na2day(m): 12:18pm On Nov 11, 2010
REVIEW

The Walking Dead is centered on Rick Grimes, a small-town police officer from Cynthiana, Kentucky, his family, and a number of other survivors who have banded together in order to survive after the world is overrun with zombies. As the series progresses, the characters become more developed, and their personalities shift under the stress of a zombie apocalypse, most notably Rick's.

In the beginning of the series, Rick and partner Shane are in a firefight and Rick is shot and enters a coma. Upon waking in a hospital, he discovers the undead are in the building and town. Rick returns home and shortly decides to go to Atlanta, where the survivors were told to await help, to find his wife Lori and son Carl. He discovers the city is crowded with zombies and bumps into Glenn, a scavenger for a band of survivors. Following Glenn, Rick discovers Lori and Carl are okay along with Shane, who is less than happy that his former partner has returned. He also meets new survivors.

The group searches for a place to call home, settling in a couple of temporary camps, including a prison, which comes to the attention of an insane man calling himself the Governor. The Governor runs his local city, Woodbury, Georgia, like a dictator and tortures Rick (including cutting off one of his hands) and other members of his group, culminating in an all-out assault on the prison. Several of the main characters die in the battle, including the Governor himself. After the prison is made unsecured by the attack, Rick and the surviving members, after leaving with others to Washington, D.C. for a chance to cure the infection, encounter cannibals (which are brutally taken care of). Their current residence is a township that is enclosed in the outskirts of Washington D.C. until its safety is compromised by gunshots that attract a horde of zombies.

Season 1, Episode 1: Days Gone Bye

We open on an empty intersection. The camera pulls back to reveal an overturned car and truck. A sheriff's cruiser pulls up and out steps Rick Grimes. The uniformed man cautiously examines the scene before approaching a gas station. More abandoned cars. Laundry. Baby dolls. Makeshift camp sites. A dead woman rots in one of the cars.

Grimes, who carries a gasoline canister, is looking for gas -- but a sign at the station reveals that there is none left. Suddenly, he spots a shambling figure in bunny bath slippers. It is a young girl. "Don't be afraid," Grimes says. She turns -- a ZOMBIE! Grimes pulls his gun , and blows her brains out. Welcome to the apocalypse.

FLASHBACK: Rick and his partner Shane discuss the differences between men and women while eating lunch in their cruiser. Rick talks of his wife Lori and son Carl. Apparently, the couple had a fight the night before. "It's like she's pissed at me all the time and I don't know why," Rick explains to Shane. The pair then gets an urgent call.

A weaving car is being chased by cop cars. Rick and his men set up a roadblock. The weaving car swerves and FLIPS over and over before coming to stop in an adjacent field. Two bloodied men emerge from the wreck with their guns drawn. They FIRE. Rick is hit. The officers return fire and quickly take the two men down. Rick, who is wearing a bulletproof vest and has only been winged, believes it is all over. He stands up , and is SHOT again. Turns out there is a third armed man in the wrecked car. Shane raises his shotgun and BLOWS the man away. He then turns his attention to Rick, who is BADLY injured. It doesn't look good.

CUT to the hospital. We see events from Rick's hazy point of view. Shane visits with flowers. Time passes , but how much time? Sometime later, Rick awakes. The flowers are dead. The clock has stopped. He tries to move, but his legs have atrophied. He falls. "Nurse, help!" Rick cries. No answer. Rick manages to stumble into the hallway , and discovers a complete mess. Gurneys, papers and equipment are strewn everywhere.

Worse: a hospital employee appears lying dead on the floor appears to have been almost completely devoured. A set of double doors, meanwhile, has been chained shut with the scrawled warning: "Don't open. Dead inside." Rick wisely backs away from the doors, which begin to bulge and shake. Something wants out. Rick retreats to a darkened room with a flight of stairs heading down. Using only a match to light his way, Rick eventually finds an exit door , and is blinded by the light of the day. Outside, dozens and dozens of dead and rotting bodies are wrapped in hospital sheets. Rick is HORRIFIED.

Rick stumbles away from the hospital, finds a bicycle and races home. "Lori!" he cries. "Carl!" But the house is empty. Its occupants are long gone. Crying, Rick walks outside. Something approaches him from behind -- slowly. It's a non-zombie boy! The boy, Duane, swings a shovel and knocks Rick to the ground. The boy's father, Morgan, then rushes up -- and notices that Rick isn't a zombie, after all. Rick passes out from the blow.

For the second time that day, Rick wakes up in a bed unsure of his surroundings. He is tied to a bed inside a suburban home. "Did you get bit -- maybe scratched?" Morgan asks. Rick explains that he has "only" been shot. The trio then sits down for dinner and Morgan explains that the streets are crawling with "walkers." The process: bites kill you, a subsequent fever "burns you out" and, then, "after awhile, you come back." Duane then looks out the window at the walking dead -- and spots his mother! He cries , and Morgan does his best to comfort his son. "She died in the other room in that bed over there," he explains to Rick. "I should've put her down , I just didn't have it in me."

The next morning, Rick returns to his home with Morgan and Duane. He notices that all the family photo albums are gone. Rick theorizes that his family fled after packing up their personal belongings. Duane says they probably headed to Atlanta, where the center for disease control and prevention is located. The trio then head to the police station to take hot showers (the station has its own propane supply) and collect weapons and ammo.

Rick then says goodbye to Morgan and Duane, who take their supplies to a nearby Jeep. Rick hangs around just long enough to SHOOT a zombie deputy he once knew before driving away in his squad car. Destination: Atlanta. First, though, Rick stops at an area park to put a female zombie -- cut in half and crawling pathetically -- out of her misery. "I'm sorry this happened to you," Rick says through tears. He shoots her in the head.

Meanwhile, Morgan and Duane return home. Dad tells his son to wait downstairs before heading to the upstairs bedroom. There, Morgan takes aim at zombies in the street with a scoped rifle. He shoots two , before spotting his wife. Shaking, Morgan takes aim , but can't bring himself to pull the trigger. Zombie Mom shambles away. Morgan weeps.

Sometime later, Rick uses his police radio to see if anybody responds. Unbeknownst to Rick, a group of survivors does hear Rick's message (he can't hear their answer). It turns out that the group, which has made a camp in a field, includes Shane, Lori and Carl! Lori tells the group that they should've set up a roadside sign warning people against going to Atlanta, which is apparently crawling with zombies and completely unsafe. Shane tells her that they simply don't have time. She storms off to a tent. Shane enters to talk her down , and the two end their conversation with a passionate kiss. Uh oh.

CUT to Rick, who comes upon a farmhouse where the inhabitants decided to shoot themselves rather than live in a zombie-infested world. Rick, who is looking for gas, spots a horse in the yard. He decides to ditch his cruiser and ride the steed. "Go easy, OK?" he tells the animal. "I haven't done this for years." Riding the horse, Rick soon approaches Atlanta. The city is seemingly empty -- save for crashed cars, empty Army helicopters and burned-out buses. Sure enough, zombies begin to appear.

Suddenly, Rick hears the sound of a helicopter. He spurs the horse to follow it -- and turns a corner into a side street PACKED with zombies. Quickly turning around, Rick flees -- and runs into another horde. The sheriff is pulled from his horse, which quickly becomes zombie feed. Rick then crawls underneath an Army tank and begins SHOOTING wildly. He then notices a hatch in the bottom of the tank and pulls himself into the belly of the steel beast, SLAMMING the hatch shut behind him. He crawls up against a seemingly dead soldier, and takes his gun. While looking away, the soldier comes to zombie life; Rick shoots him in the head just in time. Safe , for now.

Inside the tank, Rick can hear the undead swarming all over the vehicle. He is despondent when, suddenly, a voice crackles over the tank radio. "Hey you, dumbass," the voice says. "You in the tank? Cozy in there?" Rick's eyes go wide. Who is that?

Until next time, what is left of America ,
Re: All The Zombie Horror Fans - The Walking Dead (AMC's epic series) [Season 2) by na2day(m): 12:34pm On Nov 11, 2010
Season 1, Episode 2: Guts



We open at a familiar survivor camp. Lori announces that she is "heading out" -- and tells Carl to stick close to Dale. "If you see anything, holler," Dale demands. "I'll come running." So Lori heads into nearby woods to search for provisions. She hears a rustling. Nothing. She continues. More rustling. Nothing -- again. Lori is about to panic when ,

Shane appears OUT OF NOWHERE and drags her to the ground. They immediately begin to strip off their clothes. Shane momentarily stops when he sees Lori's pendant. She removes it -- and the two get back to making wild love in the grass.

Meanwhile, Lori's husband, sheriff Rick, remains trapped in a tank in the middle of Atlanta. Zombies swarm the military vehicle, but can't get inside. Inside, a voice comes from the radio. "Hey, you alive in there?" the voice asks. The voice then tells Rick that a side street is comparatively unpopulated by "walkers" -- and advises him to make a run for it. After a few deep breaths, Rick emerges from the top of the tank. He BASHES a zombie in the face, SHOOTS a few others and starts RUNNING. A young man suddenly appears (Rick ALMOST shoots the stranger) and diverts Rick down an alley.

The pair climbs a fire escape -- and the man, the voice on the radio, introduces himself as Glenn. They climb to the roof then double back through the building to the street. With zombies hot on their heels, Rick and Glenn make it to a department store, where a band of survivors await. One of the survivors, Andrea, is FURIOUS at Rick for firing his gun and attracting the undead. "You just rang the dinner bell," she says. Sure enough, a horde of zombies has assembled at the entrance to the store. Suddenly, the group hears SHOTS.

They sprint to the roof -- and find Dixon shooting his rifle. T-Dog, who is black, accuses Dixon of wasting bullets. Dixon immediately uses the N-word -- as if he were just waiting for an opportunity -- and the two immediately come to blows. It ends with Dixon pointing a gun at T-Dog and declaring himself superior. "Anybody else?" the racist asks. Rick answers in the affirmative -- and BASHES Dixon in the face with a rifle. Rick then cuffs Dixon to a pipe , the tosses the keys off the roof. Dixon HOWLS with rage.

Later, Rick suggests the group head for the sewers. Survivor Jacqui, who used to work in the city zoning office, explains that the building should have an access point in the basement. Glenn volunteers to head into the hole to scope out the situation -- and takes a flashlight and fellow survivor Morales with him. In the meantime, T-Dog and Dixon trade insults on the roof while the former tries to get somebody -- anybody -- on the radio. "It's nothing personal," Dixon says. "You're kind and my kind just weren't meant to mix." T-Dog shakes his head -- and refuses Dixon's request to give him a hacksaw.

Glenn and Morales soon return from their sewer trip -- and explain that a steel grate blocks any chance of exit through the sewer. Even worse: the zombies outside have busted through the first set of glass doors. Only one final set of doors keeps them from entering the department store. So what now? Rick suggests a distraction. Andrea explains that the undead can smell the living. Apparently, their odor is distinct.

The plan: chop up a dead body of a security guard and smear his blood and guts on their bodies. -- thus, smelling like a zombie. It's as disgusting as it sounds, but the survivors get the job done with a big axe and rubber gloves. Glenn vomits. "Do we smell like them?" Rick asks. Says Andrea with a grimace: "Oh, yeah." Rick then tosses T-Dog a key to Dixon's cuffs (an extra set he had stowed in his pocket) and heads outside with Glenn.

Amazingly, the two blend in, passing zombies who sniff them before turning their undead attentions elsewhere. The other survivors watch from the roof. Unfortunately, storm clouds are gathering above. It's going to rain , and possibly cleanse Rick and Glenn! T-Dog, meanwhile, continues to try to contact people on the radio. Although he doesn't know it, Shane's group of survivors can hear the calls -- barely. "He said a department store," Lori says. As it turns out, Andrea is the big sister to Amy, who is traveling with Shane, Lori, Carl, Dale and others. Andrea volunteered to go to Atlanta to get help. Now, Shane tells Amy that her sis "knew the risks" -- and they won't be going after her. Amy, naturally, is FURIOUS. "You sonofabitch!" Amy tells Shane, who looks guilty as hell.

Rick and Glenn, meanwhile, continue to walk through the horde of zombies. Then it begins to rain. The guts begin to wash off of the pair. The zombies begin to smell something. Uh oh. A zombie ATTACKS -- and Rick BURIES his axe in the monster's brain. "Run!" Rick screams. So they do, eventually hopping a chain-link fence. As the zombies figure out how to climb the fence, Rick and Glenn hustle to a truck at a construction site. The keys have been left inside. They gun the engine and take off.

But they don't go far. Rick soon stops the truck and breaks into a nearby sports car, setting off the loud alarm. The plan: Glenn will drive the sports car to the front of the department store. The alarm will attract the zombies. Meanwhile, Rick will drive the truck to the back of the store and pick up the survivors. Glenn calls the group on the radio to tell them the details. But what about racist Dixon? "You can't leave me here!" Dixon screams. T-Dog hesitates , but finally decides to free Dixon with the key. Alas, T-Dog trips -- and the key bounces from his hand and disappears into an open pipe. "I'm sorry!" a distraught T-Dog screams before fleeing the roof. Again, Dixon HOWLS with anger.

CUT to Glenn, who plows through a horde of walkers in front of the department store -- the car alarm BLARING the entire time. CUT to Rick, who backs up to a loading dock. Morales, Jacqui, T-Dog and Andrea jump into the back of the truck. Rick notices that Dixon isn't there. "I dropped the damn key," T-Dog explains. Finally, CUT to Glenn, who RACES down an empty highway in the sports car. He lets out a triumphant YELL!

So everybody has escaped (with the possible exception of Dixon) , for this week.

Season 1, Episode 3: Tell It to the Frogs (2010)



[img]http://3.bp..com/_yi3ZBHEy8jc/TNw7Jbv1sPI/AAAAAAAAEgE/PC9AAwRvmRw/s320/Episode-3-Tell-it-To-the-Frogs-Movie-Still-Rooftop_3.jpg[/img]

Welcome back to zombie land ,

Merle, still chained to a rooftop in Atlanta, rants and raves almost incoherently. He seems to be talking about his time in the military. After a few moments, he appears to "wake up" at the sound of zombies beating on the door to the roof. "Oh Jesus!" Merle cries. "I know I'm being punished ,  I deserve it ,  show me the way!" The undead moan.

CUT to Rick and Morales drive though a town -- the former explaining that poor Merle has a brother named Daryl. CUT to the makeshift camp where Lori cuts Carl's hair while Shane watches. Shane promises to teach Carl how to catch frogs. "We'll feed these folks Cajun-style Kermit legs," promises sudden father-figure Shane. Suddenly, Glenn drives up in his sports car ,  followed by Rick, Morales and the rest of the survivors. "Come meet everybody," Morales tells the sheriff. Andrea is united with Amy. Morales is united with his family. And, finally, Rick spots Lori and Carl. They EMBRACE.

After the emotional reunion -- one Shane watches with shock and confusion -- Rick cuddles around the campfire with his wife and son. "I can't you how grateful I am to you, Shane," Rick says. If he only knew Shane and Lori had become more than buddies. T-Dog, meanwhile, wonders if Merle is still alive. He believes the lock on the rooftop door to be too strong for the walkers to break. Also: everybody in camp worries about telling brother Daryl, who is apparently away on a "hunt." He'll likely react poorly.

Later, Rick cozies up to Lori in their family tent. "Baby, I really thought I would never see you again," she says. "I'm so sorry ,  for everything." Yet she can't bring herself to reveal the details of her most recent affair with Shane. Rick then passionately kisses his wife. After a moment of hesitation, she kisses him back. Shane, meanwhile, sits alone. The next morning, Rick awakens and makes his way through camp -- when he hears a SCREAM. Carl has seen a zombie feasting on a dead dear. Rick, Shane, Dale and Glenn approach the monster and BEAT it to death (again) -- Dale finally decapitating it.

At that moment, Daryl returns to camp. He is angry that the zombie ate the deer he shot ,  and takes his revenge via crossbow on the still twitching head. Andrea and Amy wince. Shane then pulls aside Daryl and gives him the bad news: Merle didn't return from Atlanta. Rick approaches. "Your brother was a danger to us all, so I handcuffed him to a roof ,  he's still there," the sheriff explains. Daryl is APOPLECTIC. He ATTACKS Rick, who -- with the help of Shane -- subdues the hillbilly. T-Dog then explains that he dropped the key down a drain. "I'm going back," Rick tells Daryl. Lori hangs her head.

Shane tries to convince Rick not to go -- especially to save a jerk like Merle. "I can't let a man die," Rick says. "We left him like an animal in a trap." T-Dog and Daryl volunteer, too. Glenn reluctantly agrees to join the team. But it's not just about saving Merle. Rick explains that he dropped a bag containing valuable guns, ammunition and a walkie-talkie. The latter he can use to warn Morgan and his son Duane against heading to Atlanta. After they leave, Lori attempts to comfort Carl -- whose confidence ends up comforting her.

Sometime later, Shane and Carl bond by catching frogs -- or attempting to anyway. Jacqui wonders why the women have been relegated to washing clothes. They then begin to mention things they miss about their old lives. Andrea mentions that she misses her vibrator -- and the ladies crack up. Their smiles disappear when Ed, Carol's moody husband, approaches. He tells his cowering wife that this isn't a "comedy club." Lori then reprimands Carl for leaving Dale's side, though the boy was obviously safe with Shane. "You stay away from me -- you stay away from my son," Lori says. "My husband is back! He is alive! You are the one who told me that he died!" Shane is distraught.

[flash=640,385]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAp2Xu7YNA8?fs=1&hl=en[/flash]

Meanwhile, Rick, Daryl, Glenn and T-Dog park their truck outside Atlanta. They opt to approach the heart of the city on foot. Soon, the foursome is inside the department store. Daryl SHOOTS a zombie in the brain with an arrow. Back at the camp, Ed's anger has escalated. He insults Andrea and then SLAPS Carol across the face. Shane, whose blood is already up, sprints toward Ed and proceeds to BEAT him mercilessly. Ed is little more than a blood pulp before Shane stops -- warning the wife beater that if he raises his hand to anyone in the camp, he will die. "I'll beat you to death Ed!" Shane rages. Carol screams ,  and runs to her badly injured husband.

Finally, the Atlanta gang arrives on the rooftop to find Merle missing ,  or most of him. Turns out ol' Merle must've been able to reach the hacksaw. His severed hand remains on the roof, but the rest of Daryl's big brother has apparently managed to escape.

Until next time ,

Walking dead is Light years ahead of most of the Zombie feature films that I have seen. Couldn't believe I was watching a television series shocked shocked shocked. Must be one heckuva expensive TV series. Funny that I didn't bother to check it out until I got the hint it was originally a graphic novel. grin I honestly thought it was one of those same ol' same ol'. Glad I was wrong. . . dead wrong.

I follow it religiously.

Now if someone will be kind enough to produce "Preacher" either as a feature film or TV series, I'll die a happy man.

[size=13pt]Season 1, Episode 4: VATOS (2010)[/size]



Andrea and Amy fish on a serene lake. Their conversation is strained, however -- the pair were born 12 years apart and don't appear to have much in common. They talk of their father, who taught them different approaches to fishing. "He knew we were so different," Amy says. "He knew you needed to catch the fish and I needed to throw them back." The thought of their parents nearly brings both ladies to tears. It's a touching moment.

Meanwhile, the gang of would-be rescuers has just discovered Merle's severed hand on an Atlanta rooftop. Angry Daryl, who holds T-Dog responsible for his brother's predicament, aims his hand cannon at the man. Rick, in turn, points his own gun at Daryl, urging the hillbilly to stand down , or else. The tension subsides (somewhat) and Daryl picks up his bro's hand, wrapping it in a bandana for safe keeping. The group follows Merle's blood trail , and discovers a few slaughtered zombies along the way. Apparently, Merle remains pretty handy at killing the undead -- even with one hand.

Back at camp, Jim furiously digs a series of holes -- so furiously that he ignores (or doesn't hear) Dale's offer of water. In fact, the survivor appears oblivious to everybody. "Hey, Jim?" Shane asks. "I'm just a little concerned, man." Jim continues to dig and -- after calling Shane's leadership into question -- takes a swing at the cop with the shovel. Shane tackles the digger and cuffs him. "The only reason I got away because the dead were too busy eating my family," Jim cries. The man is clearly unhinged.

[img]http://www.daemonstv.com/2010/11/16/the-walking-dead-vatos-episode-4-new-photos/the-walking-dead-vatos-7/[/img]

CUT to Glenn, who gives a detailed plan of how the rescue team will search the streets. The strategy covers all angles. "You got some balls for a Chinaman," Daryl sneers. Says Glenn: "I'm Korean." Spits Daryl: "Whatever." The team then hits the streets, which are filled with walkers. Glenn is able to grab the bag of weapons left behind by Rick, but is then accosted by living members of a street gang! The gang members shove Glenn into their car and SPEED away. One of the gang, however, is left behind , and the young man is immediately corralled by T-Dog and a seething Daryl.



Back at the camp, Shane has tied Jim to a tree , for his own safety, of course. Jim apologizes to the children for scaring them. And why was he digging? "Something I dreamt last night," explains Jim, who can't remember the details. He then urges Sara to keep Carl close. "Never let him out of your sight," he says. Sara nods in understanding.



The rescue team, in the meantime, interrogates the captured punk, who refuses to provide any info. Daryl then shows the punk Merle's severed hand, claiming HE did the cutting. The punk shakes in fear , and then talks. Moments later, the rescue team arrives at the hideout of the gang, which is led by a man named Guillermo. Rick proposes trading the Glenn for the young punk, but Guillermo refuses. He wants the bag of guns. Only then will the gang surrender Glenn.



The rescue team retreats to their makeshift headquarters, where the guns are stashed. Not surprisingly, Daryl doesn't want to give up the guns , but Rick disagrees. The sheriff explains that Glenn saved him from the inside of a tank. Rick plans to return the favor. So, moments later, the team approaches the gang hideout for the second time. The young punk is bound and gagged as he is pushed inside at gunpoint , and then freed.



"You have your man, I want mine," says Rick, who refuses to surrender the bag of weapons. MANY guns are drawn and pointed when an old lady suddenly parts the crowd. It is a grandmother of one of the gang members. Rick assures the abuela that he is not there to arrest her kin. The old lady then leads Rick and the rescuers inside an attached old-folks home. Turns out that the group is caring for the residents -- and are willing to fight for weapons and medicine to do so. "The staff took off," explains Guillermo, who was a custodian at the facility. "Just left them here to die." The gang members act as security. Sympathetic, Rick then hands over a few weapons to help the cause.



Later, the rescue team heads back to their van , only the vehicle has gone missing. "Who would take it?" Glenn asks. Answers Rick: "Merle." Even Daryl winces -- his brother probably went back to camp , for revenge. CUT to camp, where Shane decides to free Jim so he can join the survivors for a fish fry. Everybody is enjoying the food and chatting -- Dale gives the group a Faulkner lesson -- when zombies suddenly attack the camp! Ed is bitten! Another walker takes a chunk out of Amy's neck! Andrea SCREAMS as her sister bleeds out. Shane opens FIRE. Morales and Jim BASH zombies with bats.

[img][/img]

Just then, the rescue team arrives for another rescue. They FIRE their weapons repeatedly. Zombie brains splatter the campsite. Suddenly, all is quiet save for a weeping Andrea, who hunches over her sister's lifeless body. "Amy!" she screams. "Amy!" The remainder of the survivors watch in horror. Whispers Jim: "I remember my dream now , why I dug the holes."

Walking dead is Light years ahead of most of the Zombie feature films that I have seen. Couldn't believe I was watching a television series shocked shocked shocked. Must be one heckuva expensive TV series. Funny that I didn't bother to check it out until I got the hint it was originally a graphic novel. grin I honestly thought it was one of those same ol' same ol'. Glad I was wrong. . . dead wrong.

I follow it religiously.

Now if someone will be kind enough to produce "Preacher" either as a feature film or TV series, I'll die a happy man.

Glad to hear another person enjoying the show! grin

[size=13pt]Season 1, Episode 5: WILDFIRE (2010)[/size]



Dawn. Rick hunches on a grassy hill overlooking Atlanta. He tries to hail Morgan on the radio and warn him. "Atlanta is not what we thought," Rick urges. "Do not enter the city. It belongs to the dead now." The sheriff then gives the location of the survivors before giving up. No contact with Morgan has yet been made.



Andrea, meanwhile, continues to mourn Amy, who lives dead on the camp ground. Lori approaches. "We all cared about her," Lori says. "We'll be as gentle as we can." In other words, the body must be discarded. Andrea doesn't respond. Rick tries his luck -- and Andrea points a gun at him for his efforts. "Sorry," Rick whispersthen slowly backs away.



The clean-up continues. Daryl tries to drag one of the human dead into a fire, but Glenn won't allow it. The humans are to be buried -- decent like. "You left my brother for dead," Daryl growls. "You had this coming." Ouch.



More bad news follows. Jim was bitten in the skirmish. He pleads with Jacqui not to tell, but she announces his wound to the camp. "I'm OK, I'm OK," Jim insists, but the bite is deep. He isn't OK. Naturally, Daryl suggests putting a pickaxe into Jim's head, but Rick protests, insisting "We don't kill the living!" Instead, Rick suggests the group head to the CDC -- on the off chance that a cure can be found. Nobody particularly likes the idea, but no one argues either.



Later, Dale has a heart-to-heart conversation with Andrea. He explains that, after his wife died of cancer, he didn't care about anybody until he met Andrea and Amy. Andrea is touched. She gently lays Amy's birthday gift -- a necklace and pendant -- across the dead woman's bloody neck.



Carol, in the meantime, volunteers to sink a pickaxe into the head of her (abusive) dead husband. She does so -- and then does it again and again. Something tells us that Carol is working out past frustrations.



Suddenly, Amy opens her eyes. Is she alive?! Not exactly. "Amy, I'm sorry I always thought there would be more time," Andrea whispers. Before Amy can bite into her sibling, Andrea puts a gun to her temple. "I love you," she whispers before shooting undead Amy through the brain.



Later, Shane questions Rick's decision to leave the group and attempt to rescue Merle. It appears a power struggle between the longtime friends could be brewing. But there's no time for a pissing match now. The group gathers to bury its dead (in spite of Daryl's repeated objections) -- and Rick makes a promise to his boy: "I won't leave again , not for anything." Lori, meanwhile, questions the logic of going to the CDC on a "hunch." A decision will have to be made quickly, however. Poor Jim is looking terrible. The sick man coughs and spits into a bucket. Lori eventually opts to support her husband, telling Shane that they should trust Rick's "gut." Shane is visibly disappointed.

Later, Rick and Shane strike out into the woods to search for zombies. They argue over the best course of action. Shane is obviously upset for reasons (his affair with Lori in Rick's absence) that he doesn't mention. The two then split up in search of the undead. From a distance, Shane points his gun at his friend, but doesn't fire. The next morning, Rick tries Morgan again on the radio, explaining his plan to head to the CDC. Again, Morgan doesn't answer. Shane, meanwhile, explains how the caravan will work when Morales announces that he won't be coming. Instead, the survivor and his family will go to Alabama, where they have kin. "I have to do what's best for my family," he explains.

So everybody minus the Morales family climb into cars, trucks and a camper and drive. In the back of the RV, Jim moans in pain. Naturally, they don't get far before the camper overheats. Shane volunteers to ride ahead to a gas station and see if a replacement part can be found. Rick then visits Jim, who asks to die. "I want this," he says. "Leave me here it's my decision." Moments later, the group carries Jim to a nearby tree. Rick offers Jim a pistol, but the sick man refuses it. They then leave Jim to the elements.



Cut to a flickering video feed. A man introduces himself as Jenner, who drinks from a CDC coffee mug. He lives underground and searches for a cure -- but there has been no progress. End of transmission.

We then see Jenner, wearing a full contamination suit, studying samples of the undead flesh and listening to classical music. The man is exhausted -- and he accidently knocks over a test tube. Alarm bells begin to sound. Jenner hustles to the door and it slams shut behind him. Suddenly, the lab room bursts into flames. A robotic voice announces that "decontamination is complete." Jenner hangs his head. His fresh samples have just been destroyed. No more tests. Still no cure.

Later, Jenner drinks wine. "I think tomorrow I'm going to blow my brains out," he says into a monitor. "But tonight I'm getting drunk." The camera pulls back to reveal that Jenner is alone in a vast and high-tech underground facility. Outside, the land around the CDC is littered with corpses -- hundreds of them. The group of horrified survivors weaves through the bodies toward the door. Inside, Jenner spots the survivors on a security monitor. He is shocked. Rick looks into the camera and begs for help. Jenner hesitates, struggling with how to respond to the survivors' plea, and then finallly opens the door from the inside.

I wasn't too impressed with last Sundays episode, it didn't have too much of an edge like the others. The spend almost 5 mins saying bye to the the dude the left to die.

Yeah u're right considering it was just talk talk throughout, no real zombie action but I think what the director was trying to do was to bring out the human element of the story, people grappling wit whether they should loose their humanity and be worse than the zombies or be decent in a very insane world. A classical example of dat was when Andrea was waiting for Amy to turn to the undead b4 she puts her away, the acting there was first rate!  grin

I am a big fan of the comics so I was pleased to see it made into a TV series.

One thing about the comic is that it is slow paced and likes to build on the characters interaction which makes you care more for the cast.

I am loving this big time.

They have commissioned a second series already so we will have some more episodes after the finale, remember the comic is upto issue 76 and still going strong.

@Grakfidon, I read a few months ago that Preacher has been picked up for development already.

[size=13pt]Season 1, Episode 6: TS-19 (2010) Season Finale[/size]



FLASHBACK. Shane runs through a CHAOTIC hospital, asking for help. The army OPENS FIRE on a group of doctors and nurses. Zombies suddenly appear -- and take a bite out of the army. Shane ducks into a room where Rick lies in a coma. "If you're going to wake up, you better do it now!" Shane tells his friend. It's no use. Rick continues to slumber , so Shane reluctantly leaves, blocking the door to Rick's room in the process.



PRESENT DAY. Rick, Shane and the rest off the survivors enter the CDC. It appears to be abandoned , when Dr. Jenner materializes from a dark corner. "Is anybody infected?!" Jenner demands. "You all submit to a blood test. That's the price of admission." Rick agrees. Jenner then leads the group underground , and explains that the rest of the doctors are dead or gone. A computer -- which has a female voice -- has been his only company. Later, the survivors indulge in a few generous glasses of wine before Jenner introduces the group to its quarters -- complete with hot water!



Everybody has a hot shower and continues to drink, though it's clear that Andrea is not well. She vomits in the toilet and weeps. "It's over," she tells Dale. "There's nothing left!" Dale prefers to see the end of world (as we know it) as a chance to start over , but Andrea isn't buying what he's selling. A drunken Rick, meanwhile, has a heart-to-heart with Jenner. Basically, the sheriff explains that the group didn't have any real chance of surviving on the "outside." "It will all be OK," Jenner tells him , not convincingly.



A drunken Shane, in the meantime, confronts Sarah. "I'm going to tell you a few things and you're going to listen to me," Shane slurs. "How can you treat me like this?!" He explains that there was a massacre at the hospital , and he had no choice but to leave Rick. Then it gets ugly. "I love you," Shane says before aggressively groping Sarah. She fights back -- and PUSHES him away, scratching his neck in the process. Ashamed and angry, Shane storms from the room. Sarah tries to pull herself together.

The next morning, T-Dog makes powdered eggs for the survivors. Shane enters , and tries to conceal the scratch marks on his neck. He offers a lame excuse about the marks being self inflicted. After breakfast, Jenner asks the computer to replay "TS-19," a program standing for "test subject 19." The test subject was bitten by a zombie and volunteered to have his process monitored. The group watches as the subject's brain synapses corrode and shutdown , then flicker back to life during "resurrection." Essentially, the brain stem reawakens, but nothing else. "The neocortex -- the human part -- that doesn't come back," Jenner says. "Just a shell driven by mindless instinct." Alas, Jenner knows almost nothing more -- and is nowhere close to finding a cure.

Dale then notices a clock that is counting down to zero. Jenner explains that the basement generator will eventually run out of fuel. And what happens then? Nothing good -- that's for sure. Rick leads a group to the basement to check out the generators. They discover a bunch of empty fuel drums. Moments later, the air conditioning stops. Jenner, meanwhile, has shaved, combed his hair and put on a tie. He stares at a framed photo of his dead wife when the lights suddenly go out. The CDC is shutting itself down. Thirty minutes remain on the clock. Jenner then explains that the French were the last to work on a possible cure. "They thought they were close to a solution," Jenner says. Unfortunately, the power eventually ran out , just like it is now.

Panicked, Rick tells the group to pack their bags -- it's time to go. But Jenner seals the door, locking everybody inside. He explains that it would be pointless to run. The computer has locked all the exit doors on the street level. The CDC houses multiple strains of deadly viruses -- and is designed to make sure nothing escapes when power is lost. Basically, the facility will implode, killing everyone inside. Awful understanding dawns on the survivors' faces. "Its better this way," says Jenner, who has resigned himself to dying in less than 30 minutes. "It sets the air on fire. No pain."



Shane and Daryl try to chop down the door with axes , but it's no good. "There is no hope," Jenner says. "There never was , this is our extinction event." Shane, however, isn't going to go down without a senseless fight. He begins SHOOTING up the room with a shotgun -- making much noise, but accomplishing nothing. Rick wrestles the gun from his hand and SLAMS his friend to the ground. "Are you done?" Rick asks. Responds Shane: "I guess we all are." After a moment of silence, Rick accuses Jenner of keeping secrets. The doctor then admits that TS-19 was his wife, who ran the facility. "Your wife didn't have a choice , you do," Rick pleads. "That's all we want: a choice!"



So Jenner opens the sealed door, but warns that the topside exits remain shut. "There's your chance," Jenner says. "Take it." He then shakes Rick's hand , and whispers something in the sheriff's ear. As the group rushes out the door, Jacqui and Andrea announce that they are staying. They would rather die an instantaneous and painless death than face the outside.



"This isn't what Amy would want for you!" Dale tells Andrea. The rest of the survivors, meanwhile, have rushed to the front lobby. They desperately try to break the glass, but it withstands even a shotgun blast. Carol then pulls a grenade from her purse. Rick takes the grenade, sets it against the glass entrance , and pulls the pin.



BOOM! The glass BREAKS, creating an exit.

Back in the command center, Dale continues to try to convince Andrea to leave with him. She refuses -- so Dale sits down. "If you're staying, I'll stay, too," Dale tells Andrea. The group leaps outside -- and immediately begins SHOOTING zombies. They head for their caravan of cars. Just then, Dale and Andrea emerge from the building. Both have decided to live, after all. There is suddenly a WHINE in the air. Time is up. The survivors take cover as the CDC EXPLODES in an awesome bloom of fire.



A short time later, the group drives away from the destruction. A black cloud of smoke blocks the sun -- an ominous sight for our departing heroes.

[size=13pt]Another Review[/size]

THE WALKING DEAD “TS-19″ Season 1 Episode 6 – THE WALKING DEAD continues to blow my mind. I cannot express my sadness that this was the season finale and that the show will not be back until October of 2011.



“TS-19″ was just as great as all the previous episodes of the series. When I watch The Walking Dead, I forget that I’m not watching a movie, and am ALWAYS disappointed when the credits roll.
We were left last week with Rick and company being let into the CDC (truth be told, the white light shining from the door looked like an entrance to heaven, but I digress). The finale picks up in this exact spot, with everyone rushing to get inside before the unknown person decides to shut the doors.

Once settled, the survivors are treated to wine, food, beds, and even hot water. Seeing everyone’s faces at the thought of a hot shower was something that struck me. While I like to think I’m prepared for the zombie apocalypse (Shut up, it could happen!!) the hot water thing never really occurs to me. To see something that we take for granted every day treated as a luxury was eye opening.
I really, REALLY enjoyed the opening flashback scene with Shane in the hospital attempting to get Rick out. It was nice to see that he really hadn’t lied to Lori about Rick being dead. He had honestly thought he was, and by the looks of it, leaving him there was NOT an easy thing for him to do.
What was up with the military shooting the hospital staff?? I understand that it was a panic filled, high stress situation, but to just open fire on innocent people? That was hard for me to watch.
Shane needed to be shown in a positive light to gain some sympathy (at least from me), which I think made the scene with him and Lori in the rec room all the more difficult to watch.

I understand the guy feels responsible for Lori and Carl, and is absolutely right if he had told her that Rick was alive, the three of them would probably be dead, but to attack her? I don’t care how much he had to drink, he needed to get control FAST.
I think the reason I love The Walking Dead (aside from the show just being awesome) is the way that it shows real people, from all walks of life, dealing with a life or death situation; and they all have to learn to co-exist.
The friendship between Andrea and Dale is amazing writing. When he sat in that chair across from her, ready to die right along with her… that was some GOOD writing. I don’t find it hard to believe at all that you would become attached to a stranger in that situation to the point of wanting to say with them no matter what. I’m REALLY happy that they got out of the building when they did, I’m not sure how long the RV would last without Dale.
There were a lot of great lines that really made me pause and think in this episode.
When Dr. Jenner was showing everyone the test subject and explained that the lights were “the part that makes you – you” and the effect that the virus had on the “you” portion of the brain was getting into some deep theology… which was punctuated by Jacqui asking if the virus was “the wrath of God”.

I could go on for PAGES about the theology theories that I have with this series, but I’ll spare you.
Dr. Jenner also had a fantastic piece of dialogue that coincided perfectly with the finale: “We always think there’s more time. Then it runs out.”
Suffice to say that nothing has ever been truer for Rick and his people than that statement. I found myself almost off of my couch in anticipation wondering how they were going to break through the glass windows. And sighed audibly in relief when Carol pulled the grenade out of her purse.
Like I said at the beginning of this review – I forget that I’m watching a TV show when I watch The Walking Dead – and seeing the creative team BLOW UP THE CDC was an epic piece of television and one that I’m going to have to watch again.

I cannot believe the season is over and that we have to wait almost a full year before we find out what Dr. Jenner whispered in Rick’s ear (speculations? Let me know!), before we find out where the survivors are headed, and just for another weekly zombie movie!



I feel that a thanks to AMC is needed that they decided to air this brilliant show is in order, there really isn’t anything like The Walking Dead on TV anywhere (and it surpasses a lot of zombie movies, too… and I have seen A LOT of zombie movies), and I myself cannot WAIT for season 2.
What did you think of the finale of The Walking Dead? What did Jenner say to Rick? Where are the survivors headed? What caused the virus? I’d love to hear your thoughts, and we have 10 months to kill so let’s start discussing!
