Remorse Is For The Dead

The makers of “The Walking Dead” are still conducting a full-court press with the show, despite Season One ending and Season Two more than ten interminable months away. As well they should — “The Walking Dead” was a staggeringly popular hit, blowing ratings through the roof and far exceeding expectations. Which means that if they want to keep the momentum moving into next season, they’ll need to keep audiences interested during the show’s extended hiatus.

One of the ways they’re doing that is through a series of videos that AMC’s website is releasing. The one featured here, Inside “The Walking Dead” - A Look Ahead, is certainly an interesting one. Featuring show footage, and interview snippets with Producer Denise Huth. Executive Producer Frank Darabont, and writer/series creator Robert Kirkman — as well as cast members Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori), Jon Bernthal (Shane), and Laurie Holden (Andrea) — it’s a fun little glimpse into just how enthusiastic the show’s players are.

The questions they focus on are things like “will they find a cure” and “where are they going next,” and the answers given are pretty much, “maybe” and “who knows.” But that’s OK. It’s cool to see the cast’s take on their characters and the story itself, and I like that Kirkman doesn’t appear to be planning an ending any time soon.

Anyway, check it out:

As an added bonus, here’s their “Making Of Season One” video:

October of 2011, huh?

Balls.

Funny how AMC has the 3 shows (The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad and Mad Men) in which I can't wait to play from my DVR. I have to watch them live like in the good old days.

Y'know, I think when I re-watch the first season, and willfully divorce it from the comic book series, I might actually like it. I doubt I'll love it, but it's possible. That said, after the season finale, I'm at a total loss why they even bothered to adapt the comic. It's... not even remotely the same series.

I heard a rumor that they fired the entire writing staff. Is that rumor true? I don't feel like looking it up...

Fine...

Yup. Totally true.

Because of that RobP, I'm hoping the series goes back to the comic. I'm not minding the deviations really...just that they are totally fucking it up. Change things, fine, but keep the core story the same.

Mainly...KILL THAT ONE FUCK. You know, the guy that died quickly in the first fucking book!

Damn, can't play these in the UK. What possible reason can they have for blocking this in other countries? It happens so often and I really don't understand why!

@DeistBrawler: Totes agreeance, dude. I realized around episode four that Rick hadn't really even talked to Carl, much less set him on the necessary path. I think I'd have been okay with Merle and Daryl and T-Dog if they'd just stuck to the basics of the first graphic novel. I'd even be okay with THAT ONE FUCK still being around if it actually seemed like they were going to reach the same conclusion eventually.

I actually really dug the CDC stuff, I just think it was a little too soon. Making the decision to go there, and then the reveal of the Last Guy mucking up the cure, would have been a great season ending cliffhanger. Instead, we got the lost threads of the father and son (true to the books, but given a lot of weight in the show) and Merle (good, but again, too much time/weight spent), and a caravan driving to nowhere. Yep, drama.

Geo-blocked. Assholes.

Hooray for proxies.

i think maybe THAT ONE FUCK (ha) will go away sometime in the second season. it seems the cdc dude whispered a little something something to rick that will need to be brought up soon.

Don't dead open inside.

I watched the show, then promptly went out and bought every single book available and plowed through those.

Having watched the show first, I don't have the same attachment to the books as others. As such, I love the changes they've made. I love that I've read the books, but am still looking forward to every new episode because things could go in new directions. And it's not as if anything in the show does a disservice to the books AT ALL. It is still very much the same universe.

Also, I don't want THAT ONE FUCK to die for a while. Keeping them around will really raise some interesting questions and circumstances when other things happen. I want to see more of that character and THEN see them killed. It also would have felt too quick on the show if it went down like the books, I think.

Looking forward, I'm hoping the longer season 2 brings us Michonne and has the Governor and prison storylines kicking off or developing by the end of the season.

Also, geo-blocked as well. Go fuck yourself, pointlessly US-exclusive videos.

No Alan was a failure. Not having the kid handle business was another. But if they don't bring Tyrne into the show it's gonna piss me off something fierce.

I was pleasantly surprised at how graphic this series is - sex and gore wise. I LOVE IT. Can't wait until October of freaking 2011.

I also adore that they have the time to focus on character relationships and basic logistics of surviving in this type of post-apocalyptic atmosphere - all while throwing us in the midst of a Day/Dawn/Land of the Dead movie.

One minute you're engrossed in a fish fry, the next minute a 'walker' invasion. Good times.

I did not like the CDC finale much...too much too soon from a narrative standpoint. Maybe Darabont was hamstrung by having a short season, but they could've pushed the CDC stuff (if it was needed at all) to a several episode arc to end Season 2. I'm on board all the way w/ this show..just want to see a little less melodrama and some better writing for the next season.
