Taear: Nov 26, 2004; Ask me about the shitty opinions I have about Paradox games!

Is anyone actually excited about the new series? Or new half, I guess.
Over here in the UK every other series of Walking Dead has got lots of promotion but I haven't seen ANYTHING for this one. And everyone I knew that watched it has just...stopped.

Woah, why did this happen?

(I'd only seen a handful of episodes from Season 3 -- I stopped because of real life, not because I wasn't enjoying myself -- but he was one of the better additions to the show.)

Beats me, but I saw Daniel Sharman, the guy that played Troy, do an interview saying �a crossover is a terrible idea�.

And LOL, thinking about it, every character introduced is S3 that was part of Madison�s crew died by the time S3 was over.

The only two that survived were Walker and Crazy Dog and that�s only because they left before the dam battle. That part is what the regular show ought to be like, not like in the prison assault where Hershel was the only (named character) casualty, and Bob got winged by a shot and everyone else was okay.

here's the old ftwd thread

we had such high hopes

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3737195&pagenumber=1&perpage=40

quote:

Some things not to expect from Fear:

1. The cause of the outbreak. Just as in Kirkman's comics � which also won't ever reveal what caused the world as we know it to crumble � neither Fear nor the flagship drama will ever explain what happened to civilization. Erickson, despite his best pitches to Kirkman to touch on the subject, was shot down. "I had a couple of early pitches that touched on that and Robert shut me down. For him, it's never been about what caused it; it's always been about the impact it has on people," Erickson says.

2. Crossover with any of the original Walking Dead cast. Asked if Fear could provide a way for beloved characters from the comics who were killed off too soon on the AMC series (ahem, Andrea), Erickson said the "idea of seeing an ancillary character who happened to be in Los Angeles and got out and landed in Georgia is interesting. But I don't think we're going to do that. There's no plan to see any original characters."

1. Ok that's kind of enraging and I would have been pretty pissed if I was Erickson. They had him sign a contract to make a prequel about the downfall of civilization but wouldn't actually let him do anything that explains the downfall of civilization. Aside from that, in one interview with him, he mentioned the execs were pressuring him to speed up the pace of season 1 to get the timeline closer to when Rick wakes up, but only gave him 6 episodes for the season and he still had to somehow tell the story of the fall of LA. That's where the 9 day time skip came from. Honestly it sounds like they set Erickson up to look bad (probably not purposely, but through gross negligence) and I would jump on the Darabont train if I were him.

2. lol

Now I am about to watch AMC's The Walking Dead. Are the two related? Keep watching to find out

I hate how they have to rewind and show the same thing from 6 different character's perspective. Just drags out the whole thing.

good to see Morgan back in full out killer mode. He has no middle ground, only pure pacifist or psycho must kill them all

JossiRossi: Jul 28, 2008; A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.

FTWD did a bunch of "everything is good" dream sequences in its finale. I wonder if TWD's will end the same way...

Edit.
Oh, killing Carl won't diverge the show from the comics, they will just give Judith all that stuff.

Fear did it better. Madison, Strand and Walker had to go full Andy Dufrense crawling around a lovely sewer pipe.

Them dragging whoever is dying across an entire episode is incredibly boring and repetitive at this point.

Ha, big bearded Rick is Carl's fevered dream, not a flash-forward. Good, that means Rick still has a chance to gently caress everything up.
