Did you watch?

For a show on a non premium cable channel, I thought it was very good. I never read the comic, so I don't know how it compares, but I'll be watching every Sunday. pisses me off that I don't get AMC in HD though.

Quote from The.Walrus :
I tend to find myself comparing the show (somewhat unfavorably, admittedly) to We're Alive - A Story of Survival [zombiepodcast.com]. I keep thinking that if that radio show was made into a screenplay that it would be similar to The Walking Dead, only better. I keep thinking that the characters in TWD are missing some major points, and that this whole farmhouse sanctuary is a bunch of BS, too easily attacked from too many directions with no warning system in place. That is not how I will be passing time when the Zombie Apocalypse arrives.
I'm up to chapter 11 of "We're Alive" and I agree 110%. It has much better writing and characters than "Walking Dead". I'm hoping I can get through chapter 24 before new chapters start January 2.

Hide I can burn through the entire series in a week. Every time I listen I hear something new. I got the remastered version free through an Audible trial and heard lots of new stuff! Background conversations, slight changes in dialog - but it gets better every time.

Secret I got the Audible version of both seasons free last month. They were offering 2 credits to new subscribers. Yahoo! Then today I tried to cancel the sub and they offered me $7.50 for a credit so I stayed on for one more month out of guilt. laugh out loud Got another good zombie story out of it, though! http://www.amazon.com/Day-Armaged...993&sr=1-1

I'm intrigued. Scratchchin Tell me more...

See, I fear I've been spoiled by We're Alive. I love the format! I don't know if I could enjoy an audiobook nearly as much as the Modern Myth production. KWIM?

It's not nearly the same as the WA production, but I love audiobooks. I'll probably stay on one more month for the second book in the series and then bail. But if you can live guilt-free, it's totally worth the hassle of canceling audible for the audiobook format of WA. 2 files per season Rock.

Just don't do a marathon session right before going to bed. I made the mistake of listening to the part where they were at the stadium and when they returned home after, right before going to sleep. I spent most of the night shooting zombies, including bashing the big one in pin-stripes with a broom because I was out of ammo. laugh out loud

I'm just hoping by the time it comes back, I will forget how many zombies weren't in it this season...it was all about the stupid girl. They spent so much time character building and not enough time killing zombies. Annoyed

I agree that they spent too much time on the girl and that there wasn't enough zombie killing, but I did enjoy that there was an actual plot and it wasn't all about killing zombies. I like side storys that deal with emotion, love, fear etc. It really adds to the show and makes me want more. If it was all about killing zombies the whole time, it would get a little old fast.

Now that it wont be centered around the little girl, I wonder what direction it will go in. Shane is becoming more evil every episode EEK!

Oh I agree they needed the story line, just dragged out way too much. I hope they leave the ranch soon too.
Yea I'm sure something will transpire with Shane next season. I also want to see that black guy and his son from the first season again too, I hope they bring him back. ( the guy he was radioing )
