I was telling my wife this shit lol. If there was ever a zombie apocalypse and you had to form a group you'd need to have one ridiculous redneck who grew up doing this outdoorsy nonsense.

Oh dear god. Please tell me you're trying to troll? You can't really be that much of an idiot.

Word. I am glad they aren't following the comic. Pacing is pretty good so far.

The redneck is fucking bad ass as all he does is hunt. Xbow & dagger. I'm glad my father took me out hunting as a kid. Lol. They do bring up a good point in this EP. Keeping all the guns to the professionals as random shooting will draw the herd to them. Religion & JC had to make an appearance at some point. Better now then later. I hope the issue of the cheating gets stomped on quickly. Don't need too much mello-drama.

There's no way they could follow the comics 100% to a T anyway, what with all the headshots to non-undead going on. I don't think we've seen a single incident of a non-zombie getting their head blown off, yet its all over the place in the books. Without the show being some Rated R movie series, there's no way we'd see a 100% accurate conversion.

**Qalbert** · 2011-10-18 15:29

AMC has shown human on human headshots before, for what it's worth.

**Qalbert** · 2011-10-18 15:31

also, only loosely related, but I don't feel like necroing the zombieland thread (if there even is one)
http://www.avclub.com/articles/zombi...-on-fox,63578/

With interest in a TV series about zombies at an all-week high, Fox is looking to cash in on the zeitgeist with a half-hour small-screen version of Zombieland, the 2009 film that demonstrated that the most important skill for surviving an undead apocalypse is a healthy dose of ironic detachment. Vulture broke the news thanks to its new columnist, Zombieland producer Gavin Polone, who confirmed that Fox and Sony Pictures are in talks with original writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick about developing the show for the 2012 to 2013 season, where it would become the first zombie comedy on the network since Pamela Anderson’s Stacked.
In a way, it’s coming full circle for the project: Zombieland began life as a pitch for a weekly series that CBS passed on—its executives chortling, “Ho ho, who would ever want to watch a TV show about zombies? Don’t you have any stories about a cop or doctor with a paranormal gift?”—followed by Syfy picking up and then slowly putting it down repeatedly, shrugging as it pulled out its empty pockets in a sad pantomime. And in fact, many elements of the show that might have been remain intact in the film, i.e. the “Zombie Kill Of The Week,” the lack of any real resolution, Woody Harrelson’s parting entreaty to stay tuned for New Girl, etc. Unfortunately, should the series happen (and it’s looking good), it will finally put an end to the chances for a film sequel—but that probably wasn’t going to happen anyway. Really, the only regrettable thing about the timing is that the TV version of Emma Stone is already all tied up with Suburgatory.

Breaking Bad was an explosion. Juice from Sons Of Anarchy last week blew off a humans head. They even showed it during today's episode. Lol.

Great. Fox is going to fuck it up like they fuck up everything else.

Just watched the new season episode. I'm glad I haven't read the novel, it would ruin this for me.

**Dmitry** · 2011-10-19 03:34

I didn't like Daryl until he was in Lady Gaga's music video.
