I Wanna Savage Your Spinal Remains

The next season of “The Walking Dead” seems like a lifetime away. I know some people couldn’t get into it — some people thought it was boring, some thought the acting sucked, the writing sucked, some people got waaaay too bogged down in the inconsistent minutae, and some people just couldn’t buy into the characters. Me? I thought it was brilliant. Perfect? No. But near-perfect. As perfect a TV series about zombies as you’re likely to see, and unquestionably one of the best shows on TV this year.

The idea that we might have to wait until Halloween of 2011 for more is absolutely intolerable. Sure, we’ll have the DVD release of season one to keep us somewhat occupied, but still.

Well, for those of you who want to relive the show’s nastier parts, those who thought the show was boring, here’s a bloody little treat to keep you warm: Every zombie kill, all together in one place. I highly recommend that you watch the HD version.

Couple of things of note: Rick clearly gets the lion’s share of the kills, but my favorites come from Morgan, Daryl, and Andrea (although the weight of the moment for that one is lost). Also, for those unfamiliar with the show, it seems like there simply aren’t that many given its six episode run. To me, that’s a good thing. Keeps people hungry for more. Let’s the show focus on the characters and story, as promised. Regardless, there you have it. One minute and nine seconds of zombie slaughtering goodness.

You’re quite welcome.

Not much can beat a good, clean beheading, so my vote for Best Kill goes to Daryl. However, watching your sister die, then staring at her body for about 12 hours, then letting her newly zombified body slowly recognize her insatiable hunger for your face as you lovingly caress her cheeks, then blowing her fucking brains out 3 inches from dinnertime is a close second.

Me too.

That was lovely, like watching a documenairy about English Gardening.
Slightly more stimulating.

My point for Most Dramaticle Death of a Dead was the legless woman in the park, first episode. Heart breaking.

An entire season and you only got, what - 20 or so?

Wow, people - what are they doing on there, talking about their feelings or something?

A short season. Only six episodes.

Meander,

20? I lost count at 34 and would guess they've killed about 50 zombies in 6 episodes. And the first one was a 10 year old girl. Not too bad.

Regardless, the beauty of the show is its focus on the relationships formed in the wreckage of a worldwide apocalypse, not on the endless killing of dead people. There are plenty of zombies to keep your dick hard, but there are also plenty of feelings to keep your vagina wet, as it were.

You wanna see endless zombie slaughter? Go rent a slew of cookie-cutter zombie movies from the last 3 decades. Me? I'll take some excellent character development with my walking dead, especially if the show is extended for several seasons.

The minute and a half of zombie killin' above is about all of the patience I have for zombie-based entertainment at all. I gave the show a complete pass.

I was just wandering what they were doing for six eps if this is all they had to show for it.

"Wondering", not "wandering".

Kballs, I about fell out of my chair.
What's not to love?

I'm with Kballs. The moment especially resonates when you've just had a huge blow-out fight with your sister by telephone.

Who are all these people who don't like it? Twilight fans?

My favourite is Rick's axe to the fucking skull kill. That one actually made me sit up and say "oh, fucking awesome!"

Also, I loved the whole show. And now that I've read some of the books (because fuck waiting until next October for more), I can safely say that I loved all of the changes they made to the material. Hell, I think the show is actually much, much better, especially in the dialogue.

That being said, I have about 8 books to go and won't be slowing down any time soon.

The only point of ridiculously shoddy writing was really episode 6. While I can buy and forgive that a larger audience might need at least one episode in the entire run of a series to give them the "why", they really only gave the "how" and that did undo arguably one of the best zombie twists in recent times: vaguely humanizing the dead. The worst part was the CDC going kablooy. That was just cheap writing. Collapsing a building is painfully obviously the wrong way to contain a pathogen of any kind and the episode just didn't feel like they trusted the audience to be even remotely intelligent. Blow shit up and I guess you might get the Bayhem addicts though.
