the hoover dam will keep supplying power for many years without any human tinkering. Im heading to vegas...
1. If we have the zombie apocalypse, I'm blowing that b*stard up along with Glen Canyon, every other dam on the Colorado, Hetch Hetchy, and other selected dams across the West. (And yes, you could blow up Hoover and other dams rather easily. Shut the gates, drop explosives into the spillway to create cracks and fissures, wait for water to start flowing through spillway, watch water erode the tunnel and tear the concrete apart, watch water reach the rock and eat away at the canyon, wait for erosion to reach river level and you're done. Sure, it may tale a little time, but that's a big chunk of concrete and rock you've got to cut a hole through. Easiest way would be to go upstream and blow a few little dams and maybe Flaming Gorge and let the cascade effect take place. Sure, it would wipe out the cool canyons I love, but they'd come back in a few hundred years.) 2. I guess people haven't read CDC reports about cruise ships. Floating disease-ridden petri dished they are. Have fun puking your guts out over the railing or succumbing to dysentery while you're floating around aimlessly. I'll be plinking zombies, blowing up stuff, and saving damsels.
Currently reading through the comic series & I stopped last night on issue 56. I'll spoiler tag this comment for those who haven't read. Spoiler In issue 48, I about lost my ****. In 47, I was pissed when Tyreese died. I know it's realistic, but he was may favorite character. Still, in issue 48 to kill off 95% of your cast is incredibly ballsy. But the fact that the series is on about 90 issues now, I'm guessing it recovered well. Anyways, I wonder if the TV series is going to have this kind ruthlessness with the cast. I doubt it since the show runner can't even kill off a character like Shane.
Too many people in malls and too many entrances. I can't imagine a fate worse than to be cornered by zombies in a Bass Shoe store.
I read the first issue, and I see that amc really fleshes out the backstories. So as a person who's read through the comics, would you say that the show has still been enjoyable? While you know what comes up, the artistic license taken with all the relationships have been worth the watch? And it's simple, people, get out to the oil rigs.
That's why we follow the story of the 1978 Dawn of the dead (and wish bikers don't show up and ruin everything) and/or Dead rising! :grin:

I've read the comics. The series has been enjoyable. I knew from one key change that it was going to deviate from the comic. From there on out I decided to enjoy it as a zombie TV show.
I look at the comics & the show as two separate entities, as I do with all adaptations. Since I just started reading the comics this week I can't say much about expecting or knowing what's going to happen. But thus far, the show is MUCH different than the source.
there's a panel discussion show called "The Talking Dead" on AMC after the show this season. they only aired the first one, of course, but they answer quite a few of the questions brought up here, as well as bringing in Robert Kirkman, creator of the graphic novel and executive producer on the show... he himself says that they are two different animals, so to speak... he also talks about the whole "sense of smell" thing- (they dont have one) one random thought about zombies going "hungry"- I was thinking the zombies in the church could have been locked in there for who knows how long without any humans to tear apart. another poster mentioned their basic instincts to sit down at the pews, but my thought is more along the lines of being "dormant" until some fresh blood comes in with the doors swinging wide open. how they all died in the first place is another theory... .02
I agree with the sense of smell. The zombies don't use smell as a way to hunt, but as to seperate zombies from living people. About the zombies in the church. They could've been bitten and gone to the church to pray and stuff. Or maybe they're was some sort of wedding where it was a small wedding. The 3 zombies being the bride, groom, priest? (Idk if the other 2 were dressed appropriately to be determined as the groom or priest. Just remember the bride)
30 min people!! Who'se yall favorite/Least favorite character so far? Mine has to be daryl as favorite. If I had to choose, T-Dog as my least favorite.
Is T-Dog the black guy? How can he be your least favorite when he has barely had any tv time? My least favorite (after both kids) is the abused mother.

Yes he is. He's had more tv time than the abused mother. But to me he seems pretty useless so far.. he hasn't done anything worth noting except screwing up. (Dropping Merle's cuff keys, cutting himself and almost bleeding to death)
Good points. Now that you mention it he has been pretty much useless. At least the abused mother helped do laundry at the lake in an episode.
