1. Me me me!

It is on Hulu too! I hope it lasts :)

:hi:

Edit: I clicked btw :)

[rbnyc]

2. Thanks for clicking.

I got a late start.

3. Great opening episode.

This evening I checked out my local bookstore for the Walking Dead graphic novels. Flipping through the first volume, I realized that the show followed the printed version very closely. I'm just going to watch the series and try not to "look ahead".

BTW: I clicked on the link, I hope that gave you points.

4. Thanks for clicking.

I never saw the graphic novel. I bet I'd love it. I'm sure my dad has it. He collects graphic novels, comic books, movie memorabilia (cult, camp, sf and horror) and movies.

7. I was actually going to ask about that

is that the original graphic novel I saw in my local Borders, or was that a new one based on the TV show? It was pretty close.

5. Finally watched the Seies premiere last night as well *possible spoiler*

And it's going to be a lot of fun! Because of my hours we end up watching things a week late(thanks Tivo!) so I can't wait until next Friday evening.
Gotta get outta Atlanta man!!!

*I too clicked by the way

6. We only watch a couple of shows...

...but we always watch them late because of work, family, other activities. We also love our DVR.

My assistant at work has been waiting for me to see the first episode so we can finally talk about it.

Thanks for clicking.

8. Just watched the first episode last night.

I love zombie movies so this is my kind of show! Can't wait to watch the next episode.

9. I thought it was very good

not great, but definitely good enough to watch several more episodes.

10. My husband, Skip, has been watching it, and is loving it.

He is excited about the second episode which should be coming on tonight.

11. The pilot kicked ass, I cant wait to see where they're going with it.

Oh and BTW - the season pass on iTunes is $10 right now. :woohoo:

12. It rules. I can't wait for the second episode tonight.

14. My husband has a show...

...so I'm going to wait and watch it with him later. I am such a good wife. ;)

16. You are!

Delaying the geek-fix is a sign of true devotion!

13. Very scary.....

I kept having to turn the station.

However, I was disappointed in the blantant ripoff of the opening scene: Guy wakes up in hosptial to seemingly empty world. Uh, '28 Days Later' did that already. Unless '28 Days' got it from the graphic novel?

15. That's what I had said last week

Also, the movie '28 Days Later' came out in 2002. 'The Walking Dead' graphic novel series started in 2003.

17. But Kirkman said he had been writing it for a awhile.

I don't know if that's true but it's not out of this world that two people or groups came up with the same idea at roughly the same time.

[AllenVanAllen]

18. It's not too out there.

In 2007, 28 Weeks Later, Planet Terror and World War Z all had a helicopter zombie chopping action scenes.

19. I love World War Z.

Max Brooks signed my copy. He was awesome.

20. did they

ever explain how this started? What cause the dead to become zombies?

[Mojambo]

21. edit.

Nevermind.

[NewJeffCT]

22. I was reading the zombie apocalypse wikipedia entry

the other day... it said that the zombie apocalypse is usually not explained - it just happens or has already happened.

I don't recall it being explained in Night of the Living Dead or Day of the Dead? I know it is explained in I Am Legend and 28 Days Later.

23. In WWZ?

It's a virus.
