Caught the season premiere last night. Good stuff.

They really took up the gore a notch. Lot's of nasty stuff happens. I would say it was the best episode I've seen next to the original series premiere.

Hope the ratings stay strong like they did last year so we can enjoy this great horror show for years to come. Cause I can tell you right now, with the production budget this show must have, if those ratings slip, they will pull it off the air fast. It's gotta be top 3 most expensive shows to make on all of TV, it looks like a hollywood movie.

Awesome.  This is one of my favorite current TV shows and I hope it's here to stay.  AMC has been killing it the last few years with Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and now The Walking Dead.  Those numbers are incredible, especially because I know several people who don't even get AMC with their cable package.

The comic is more intense than anything I've ever read.  The show is doing a great job at what it can.  When I started watching the Season 2 premiere, I turned off the color on my TV.  The comic is in black and white, and this made the show MUCH scarier!  I'm excited about this season.  Hopefully Darabont's departure won't kill everything.

I've been looking into getting the comics, but I've heard the storylines are significantly different from the show. Any truth to this?

For the most part, yes.  The first episode is almost exactly the first two comics, but there are things that are grossly different as well.  Daryl, Merle, and T-Dog aren't in the comic.  Plus Shane didn't stick around for as long as he has in the show...I can't reveal any more about that.

The comic is amazing and made me breakdown into wracking sobs.

might be the gayest thing I've ever read. I may be speaking straight ignorance because I've never read the comic...or any comic for that matter..... but for fucks sakes bro, get it together. Watching the movie Stepmom and sobbing......OK, I'm with you there. But a god damn comic book about flesh eating zombies? Just throw some roos on and tuck your sack back already.

Ok, so you give shit to GC for crying during what I imagine are emotional parts of a series that happens to be about zombies, and then you let it be known that you cried during Step Mom?  I am dying over here.  This thread just made my morning.

The comic isn't about zombies fucktard, it's about people.  Starting at issue one and going through it (#90 came out yesterday), you get emotionally involved with all of the characters.  The least favorite issue of the consensus seems to be #48.  I can't say what happens because the show might be spoiled, but it's really, really bad.  Issue #52 made me cry based on what one of the characters said.  I can't recommend the series enough.  You'd like it GMG.  There's pictures to compliment the words.

Gotta correct you......he didnt cry during the an episode on tv. He cried while holding a comic book with pictures of people. Cartoons.

StepMom and Rudy. Get me every time. Oh and one scene in Basketball Diaries.

I meant the comic book series yo.  I have talked a lot of shit on comics in my life, but a few years ago my friend basically made me look at 30 Days of Night, and it totally blew me away.  I got about 10x more scared reading that comic than I ever did watching the movie.  I thought the movie ended up being a huge letdown.  But anyway, comics have changed a lot since the days of superheroes and Rex Morgan.  I would totally read the Walking Dead series, but I don't want to do it until the show is over, because I'd like to experience all of one before I start the other.

Rudy and Basketball Diaries, totally understandable and probably what I would have mentioned instead of Step Mom.

You know I'm just messin with ya dude.  I'm not a huge fan of Step Mom, but I did cry when I saw it and the subject matter was definitely emotional.  But you know I can't just leave it when you start a post with "That's the gayest thing I've ever heard" and end it with Step Mom.
